October 15th
Melissa's Apartment

"Does my outfit look alright? What about the room? Should I spray more air freshener? Are the pillows on the couch aligned? Oh, what about the kitchen? Is the cake at the very center of the table and the knife to the left of the cake? Oh crap, I think I put it on the right. I should probably go and-"

"OH MY GOD MEL SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

"MACEY!"

That was pretty much how that entire day had been. Macey had arrived at Melissa's home at 9 in the morning, getting a very early morning flight from Boston. Lucky showed up about an hour later, walking in on Melissa throwing things for Macey to place and the latter cursing every other word. When Lucky shouted for them to stop, things were calmer. Then, the three of them worked together to fix up the apartment.

"What time are they coming?" Macey asked while she was dusting behind the TV.

Melissa, who was coming back from the kitchen, replied, "1. So we have 25 minutes before both me and Luck have panic attacks."

"I'm not going to have a panic attack," Lucky said firmly, like a rebuttal.

"Oh come on," Macey said, rolling her eyes, "Harry likes you, you like Harry. The sexual tension in the room is going to be insane."

"I do not want to have sex with him!"

"Oh, but you do. I bet he has a huge-"

"I am so done with this conversation," Lucky interrupted Macey and walked to the other side of the room.

Macey rolled her eyes and changed the subject, "I like you outfit, Luck. It suits you."

"Thanks," Lucky replied while she looked down at her outfit, "Mel picked it out for me."

"And she picked out mine," Melissa said, gesturing to her black silk blouse, dark jeans, and black sandals. Lucky saw that Melissa had really gone through with everything she said. Across Melissa's neck was a slate cat eye Kendra Scott necklace, as well as matching earrings dangling from her lobes. Her hair was halfway up, loose curls frayed on her shoulders.

Macey wore a light pink dress that went down to her knees. It had a spaghetti straps with a low neckline that showed a little bit of cleavage. The color matched the pink in her hair perfectly. It was obvious she was wearing nude tights. Macey also wore baby pink heels that were only about an inch above the ground. There was barely any jewelry on her body, except for dangling hearts hooked on her ears.

Lucky, of course, had gone with what Melissa had picked out. She had tried to control her unwieldy curls, but that had failed so she just straightened her auburn hair instead. When she first walked into Melissa's apartment that morning, the first thing Macey said was, "You look a lot like Caitlin Snow from The Flash. Grant says so, too."

"You are still uber unique, though," Melissa had said immediately after, "In every way possible."

The clock was going exceptionally fast for such an anticipating day. It was 12:55, and no member of the cast had shown up yet. The three girls sat on the couch watching an episode of Pretty Little Liars. Macey was the most relaxed. Neither Lucky nor Melissa were relaxed. Lucky was the most tense out of them. She was scared that Harry wouldn't like what she was wearing, what she would say to him, or anything at all about her. Sure, she knew Harry liked her already. She just didn't want to screw up her chances.
