DAYS OF SUMMER ( Either Moving On Or Giving Up )

Sixteen

"And if you're crying,

Let me be there

I can always be the shoulder

That you can lean into."

-Oliver Ron's music piece page 23

The company is surely chaotic. Everyone's wearing novel outfits and looks so great. I smile when I see everyone else. Some of the guys wear cool pirates clothes.

Uncle Moon is the type of people who hates costume party and he obviously doesn't like this one. Even though it's just a simple dress up occasion, some are wearing such unique costumes.

I'm not the one who's wearing unique costume, but I love this day.

"Is everybody nice to you, Summer?" Moon asks.

"Of course," I say. Everyone does talk behind my back, but they don't bully me. So it's fine by me.

Uncle Moon seems relaxed a bit. "Fine, then. I'll leave you then. Be okay, Summer. Do you want to go to my house tonight?"

"Um. I can't. I want to take Jud to pet shop. He really needs grooming ."

Moon shakes his head. "Someday I'll tell your grandma that you can actually have a pet. See you around, Summer."

Alright. Let's see what are my assignments for today.

The message is clear and simple.

1. I'm assigned in social media cover AQ, featuring Kelly K. She's a newcomer singer, but she's freaking talented. Her soulful voice is so beautiful. And guess what! I'm alone in this shoot! Gosh I just get my very first real job.

2. I get to work with Ryan Carson again, but this time I'm with Nancy Mcadams. She's a talented photographer that's specialized in steady motion.

3. Working with Tiara James, also a photographer in Do You? Cover featuring Venya James. Ugh. I've heard about Tiara James before. She's very bossy and demanding. No one like to work with her. I hope I'll be fine later.

4. Take a photograph of twenty five latest collections of Burgundy. I don't have models this time, just mannequins.

5. Meet me at my office.

6. Carting coffee and teas to This Chorus Film Set in set 10A.

This Song is Ren's directed film with Jake Adams, Dean Jeanne, Katherine Ann, Mike Wills, and Lorraine James. And they say Ryan Carson is in it too. So full of stars.

I don't know the full details of this film because it's very secretive, but I'm curious. This movie will be set in my birthday. Does Ren make it for me?

And the other task, which is meet me in my office. I don't know why, but it scares me a bit. I hope it's good news.

I find my way to my first task in set 4C. Kelly K is in the set already, giving everyone positive energy. She's moving around and laughing, also joking with crew members.

Everyone must be happy. They like this kind of vibe, not like Dean Jeanne's vibe.

Suddenly, Monet is walking towards me. "Summer, I need to talk."

"Monet, I'm working. Let's talk after this, okay?" I tell him. "I'm so glad you're okay. Catch you later."

I smile when I take my camera in position. Just like the old times. I know I can do this. Let's do this. Let's make it work.
