Camila pov
Today is the day I start my new job working for the X factor I guess you could say I know Simon Cowell and he asked if I would help him out as a favor. Famous people have never phased me, everyone is the same, normal or weird I guess. You can view it however you want to, but at the end of the day we all have the same anatomy, the qualities that tell us apart is our personality, looks and Dna. Other than that everything in this world is made up of atoms...all the same.

It's 8am and I've just finished my breakfast, I put on my black coat which hugs my figure in the most perfect sensual way, seeing as the weather isn't that great in London I'll definitely need it. Panic is setting in as i'm worried slightly. I'm not very good around people I tend to shut myself off from the world and let the music absorb in to my veins and life. So, today should be interesting to say the least if my anxiety doesn't get the better of me. Locking my one bed modern apartment up I walk down the stairs outside, inhaling the fresh air like I've been locked up without it for months.

Driving to work can be a nightmare too seeing as London traffic is the worst, but I don't fancy getting on a cramped tube that could potentially smell bad and heighten my nervousness. I prefer my solitary self. I make it there after half an hour of listening to cars beeping each other and drivers getting angsty because they've been cut up or nearly crashed into. I make my way into reception to find out where I need to go, everything is pretty bland as its a few days before auditions and the building is still being set up. "Hi I'm Camila Cabello, I'm helping out with the sound I was told to come here to find out where I need to go". The older woman looked at me with her light brown hazel eyes, looking me once over, before going over to her computer screen and typing something. I guess she must have been checking to see if I was on the list as she asked for my I.d next. She handed back my I.d "okay Ms Cabello, the auditorium is straight through the set of doors on the right you can't miss it there are signs too". I said thank you and made my way through.

Scanning my eyes at the new surroundings and people, I intently watched and looked around at the people I would be spending the next few months with. There were a few people running around frantically someone almost banged into me "hey watch it will you" this guy called after me. I looked down and carried on walking through the doors, if anyone could read body language mine would be screaming please stay away! I walked into the auditorium, the stage was up, there must have been at least 20 different people in there doing many tasks. The lights were going up, the chairs and desks were being fitted, cameras being tested, they seemed to be going all out for this. I walked up to the sound desk where a scrawny brown haired guy look puzzled and frustrated. "Hi I'm Camila, I'm here to help out with the sound, you look confused is there any thing I can help out with?" The guy looked up at me he must have been in his early 20's, he smiled shyly. "Hi I'm Harry, yeah the sound desk is playing up and I can't get it to work properly, I told them to get the gear I use. Stupid damn thing". I giggled at him softly "let me take a look I'm sure I've worked with this brand before". I bent down before fiddling with some wires and buttons before it finally came on after 5 minutes. " omg thanks Camila you have totally saved my ass".
"That's okay" I looked up at him and quickly looked away not wanting to hold eye contact for too long, I've never been good at it. I felt like he was analyzing me from head to toe. "Here you go, I thought it would be easier if we split the list in half so we know what we are doing". He handed me my list which had on it to set the piano up, amongst other tasks like checking the private sound rooms. "Is there a certain time this all has to be done for?"
I looked up at him as he ruffled his hand through his brown curly hair. "Um I believe it has to be done a day before auditions, so in a couple of days time".
I smiled at him meekly before picking up my bag. "Thanks Harry, guess I shall go and get started on this list, I'll see you later".

I walked into a music room which was for artists and for private use, the room was quite small with a large glass window and wooden door. There lay a beautiful black grand piano, I left the door slightly ajar, before setting myself on the stool in front of this beauty. I took a deep breath before playing Clare de lune by Debussy, it's really a beautiful piece. I played a few other random bits and pieces before looking behind the piano and fine tuning it, the sound was impeccable, something I would never get quite use too.
