I Hate That I Love You

Chapter 5

It has been a week since I've been living in the house with the cast, and the last member has yet to show his or her face. Today is the day that the whole cast meets with Jeff and gets their scripts. Today is the day that I find out more about Lydia Martin.

You could say that the suspense is killing me. I am super excited to find out about my character, but at the same time I am worried about the last cast member. I haven't had a problem with any of the crew yet. In fact, we are all super close; best friends, even. But... what if this person isn't like them? I mean, there has to be reason they are just now showing up.

I leisurely walk down the hall to Crystal's room and knock on the door. I hear her groan and her feet hit the floor with a thud. She opens the door and all I see is hair. I can't help but let out a suppressed giggle. She moves her hair out of her face and scowls at me.

"What," she whines.

"Well, good morning to you too," I say with a sarcastic smile. "I just thought that maybe we should get up since we have to be at the studio in two hours. We need to shower and get ready and..." she cuts me off by putting a hand over my mouth.

"We have how much time?" She says with a sudden burst of energy. "Two hours is not enough time!!! I still haven't picked out my outfit... and that alone takes two hours." I look at her and laugh.

"Lucky for you, I already have my outfit. So we can both go get ourselves ready and when you are done, come get me and I'll help you."

"Thank you, Holly! You're saving me right now," she yells as she runs into her bathroom.

"You're welcome," I say as I exit her bedroom. After I finish showering, I lightly curl my hair and do light makeup. I decide that I want to look good for whomever I am meeting today. First impressions are everything. (Outfit pictured above)

I walk out of my room all dressed and ready to go. I head to down to Crystal's room and knock on the door.

"Come in!" I walk in and find a pile of clothes on the floor. Her hair and makeup are done, thank god.

"I thought I told you to come get you..."

"It didn't look like you were ready," I roll my eyes at her and begin picking through the pile of clothes. I pull out a light blue peasant dress with dark blue and white flowers on it.

"How about... this.... with these brown sandals?" She looks at me in awe.

"How do you make it look so easy?" I pause to think about it playfully and shrug my shoulders.

"I don't know... It must be gift," I laugh. She rolls her eyes at me and throws a shoe at me.

"Get out so I can change!"

"You're welcome!!" I call out as I exit. I stroll down the stairs and walk into the kitchen. Tyler is in there munching on a bag of Lays.

"Is she almost ready? We have to be there in about thirty minutes and it takes about twenty to get there."

"Yeah, she is just getting dressed," I assure him with a smile as I grab a banana. "So," I start as I peel the banana, "do you know anything about the new guy?" Tyler looks at me with wide eyes, and looks around before coming closer to me.

"Rumor has it... that it's a boy!" He says in a whisper before he starts giggling like a little girl. I punch him in the arm as Crystal descends the stairs.

~20 minutes later~

We arrive at the studio and as we walk up to the gate, we are immediately met by security who escort us to the right room. We walk in and there is a big table with lots of chairs directly in the middle. The wall closest to the door has another long table filled with food. There is only one man in the room, and he smiles real big when we all walk in.
