im so nervous.
but im also excited.
mostly nervous, though.
my interview was scheduled for 9:15, and its currently 8:45. im sitting in the lobby with courtney, sipping my white chocolate mocha from starbucks.
"anna, quit bouncing your leg. youll do just fine." she trys to comfort me.
"my god, i didnt even realize my leg was bouncing," i laugh it off, "this could be my future, court. im just a little nervous." i say.
"ha! only a little..." courtney gives me the 'dont even think about lying' face.
"fine, fine. yea im a nervous wreck, ok. i have been for about two months now." i roll my eyes.
"you will do fine, just be yourself." court says. i just sip my coffee and get back to thinking.
"anna! glad to see you showed up!" ian says, putting his hand out for me to shake. i shake his hand, followed by anthonys.
"follow us." ian says, walking into the evalator i was in yesterday.
"so we were looking at your yoytube channel this morning," anthony says. i laugh to myself and shake my head.
"yea, i havnt touched that thing in forever, but courtney wanted me to upload a video." i respond.
"thats what we wanted to ask you about, why did you not upload for like 1 year?" ian asks. i was plannimg not to have to tell my shitty life story, again, but thats not going to happen.
i sigh and begin, "well, its a long story." i say but ian inturrups me,
"dont feel like you need to tell us anything youre not comfortable with."
"i just had some a bad family situation and moved in with my shitty ass ex boyfriend." i sigh, trying not to let the memories get to me. "but thats also the reason i moved here so i gess it was a blessing is disguise type thing." i continue and make eye contact with both if the boys.
"cool. thanks for trusting us like that." anthony says and ian nods, agreeing.
they ask alot of questions like what i do in my free time and what talent i have. it actually went alot smoother than i thought.
"ok anna, well give you a call somethime tomorrow. you can hang around the office or head to courtney appartment, really whatevet you want." ian finishes off our interveiw.
"thank you guys for the opportunity. ill be looking for the call tomorrow!" i smile and grab my bag. i get up off the chair and go to open the door handle before i hear my name,
"anna?" i turn around. "if you ever need to talk about what happened with your boyfriend, dont be afraid to talk to us." ian gives me a shy smile.
"thank you." i say, just loud enough to let them hear.
i step out of the room i was just in and before i got to the squads room i head to the bathroom.
this is a weird feeling. feeling like someone cares. when i talked to ian and anthony, i trusted them.
and trust isnt an easy thing to get from me.
i walk into the squads office and get greeted wuth alot of 'aye's and 'annas here's i giggle and set my stuff next to courtneys stuff
"how was it?" olivia askme.
i sigh and nod "pretty damn well if i do say so myself." i smile.
"nice! it'd be awesome to have you on our team." noah says and takes me into a side hug. soon everyone joins into a group hug.
"i really do love you guys" i say*the next morning*
i wake up at 8:00 and grab my phone. today im supposed to get a call seeing if im going to get the smosh job. i love everyone in the office, they make me feel important. i get on instagram to see new notifacations
@oliviasui started following you
@shaynetopp started following you

i smile
but i smile a little more as a new notifacation pops up.
@noahgrossman214 started following you
i continue to scroll through my feed then my phone starts to buzz
incoming call:
anthony padilla
i freak out a little bit, then i answer it.
'anna! hi! so about the job...' he says
'just tell me!' i say and giggle into my phone.
'welcome to the smosh family!!'
i squeel and thank anthony before running into courtneys room
"IGOTTHEJOBIGOTTHEJOBIGOTIT!!!" i scream
courtney, who was putting on her makeup, turns to me and engulfs me into a hug.
i then feel my phone buzz and see a text from anthony:
'can you come in today to film a video introducing you?'
i respond with:
hell yea. see you at 10.
courtney and i continue to get ready. im lazy af so i just put on my foundation and some mascara.
"courtneyyyyy" i yell from the kitchen.
"what?!" she yells back
"the hell do you keep your coffee?" i ask. i honestly am not myself without my coffee.
"well get some coffee on the way to work" she yells back.
《@ the smoffice》
i walk in with my starbucks in one hand and my purse in another.
"ANNA!!!!!" i hear telling from the squads office.
"hell yea!! im here!" i say as i give olivia a hug. "im so freaking excited to work here" i say
"come and meet the smosh games crew! youll love them." courtney shoos me out of the squads office and into another one "what is up boyyzzz!"she says to get everyines attention "this is anna, the new member of our squad! anna this is Mari, Boze, Wes, Josh, Matt, David and Amra. just wanted to say hi. gotta blast!" she grabs my arm and pulls me back into the squads office.
"how in the hell do you have all of that energy?!" i wheeze and ask courtney.
"coffee, man" she replies.
"anna! hey, im sunny and this is sarah, were the producers for the 2nd channel."
"my goodness so many names." i laugh "hello." i say back to them
"well the desk in the corner im between courtneys and noahs is yours and feel free to run to target to grab some decorations." Sarah says. I FREAKIN LOVE TARGET.
"mkay cool!" i say setting my stuff down.
"anna!" ian says and comes into ou office "ready to film?" he asks
"yea! as ready as ill eber be." i say and follow eberyone to set. this sets different because it looks like a livingroom witha couple couches and decorated walls. i take my place behind the couch and wait for the cue.
"hey everybody! today we have a suprise for you." olivia says.
"yea. im so excited..." i cut courtney off and pop up from behind the couch.
"am i late?" i giggle
"its ANNA!" shayne yells weirdly. i laugh and climb over the back of the couch. i settle between noah and ian.
"so anna, tell us about yourself " ian says.
"well hello." i wave to the camera "im anna kat (a/n i just came up with that last name sorry lol) im 19 and i play the ukulele." i say and smile
"hold up, you play the ukulele?" noah asks. i giggle and reply;
"yea im pretty rusty though." we get back on topic.
"anyways make sure to look out for anna in new videos. find her @anna on instagram and twitter and Anna Kat on youtube." anthony wraps it up.
"see yall later!" and with that we finish the video. everyone starts to clap and cheer, and i join.
i love this job.
after the filming i go back to the office and noah comes up to me.
"hey, i can take you to target if you want." noah offers.
"sure, lets gooooo!" i say jumping like a kid. Noah laughs at me.
