              "Hello, Greer Murphy?"
              "Yes, this is she."
              "We'd like to inform you that you've got the part! we need you in the office this sunday for the first few scene readings so you can meet your co-stars and start working. See you then."
               "Thank you, see you then!" As soon as she hung up the phone she screamed.
               "OLIVIA I GOT IT! I GOT THE ROLE." Greer screamed to her roommate who was in the other room.
Greer originally moved here to Los Angeles, California with her roommate and lifelong best friend Olivia Nikolai who wanted to pursue her directing career. They moved from Flagstone, Arizona where they grew up about a year and a half ago, and this had been Greer's first real acting job. This was going to be a big movie. She knew most of the cast and production team, except one name really stood out to her. Logan Paul. She knew the name, just couldn't put a face to it.

12;30 pm ; two hours later

         "Hey Liv?" Greer said loudly as she looked over the information email she had received.
          "Yea?"
           "What do you know about Logan Paul?"
          "He's this social media star but he does movies too, like legit ones. Why?"
           "Hes the male lead in the movie im in." She responded back going to open google, but Olivia ran out of her room almost slipping on the rug.
            "HES YOUR MOVIE BOYFRIEND?" She practically screamed at Greer.
             "Yes?...What's the big deal." Greer said as she typed his name in the search bar. "Huh, he as 14.3 million followers, and he seems to be really-" She trailed off as she clicked on his Instagram page. "Hot."
              "Do you see the big deal now?" Olivia asked as she looked at his page over her shoulder. "OOO he's even hotter than i remember."
               "I'm meeting him on sunday.."
              "You know, I really hate you right now Greer."
               "It's okay, I'd hate myself too."

Saturday 9:00 PM

After her conversation with Olivia yesterday and with the manager, Greer thought it would be a good idea to watch a few of his vlogs. now she's hooked. and his saturday vlog just got uploaded. She clicked on the video.
             "Good morning Logang WUS POPPIN!" He started with, as per usual. at the end of the vlog it was him sitting down in front of the camera with a large stack of papers. "So logang, i've got some news. This is the script to a secret project im part of and it officially starts tomorrow. I can't say anything about till around 3 weeks from today, but i have a few things i can talk about. In the project, there's this girl that im supposed to work with. I haven't met her yet and the people in charge of the project wanted someone i wouldn't know, so everything would be genuine. We've been trying to find the perfect girl since the pitch of the project which was about five months ago. We finally found the girl, and she's definitely special if a chotch like me is so nervous to see her so, wish me luck, and if you're watching this, well, like and subscribe and get your merch at loganpaul.com/shop. Anyways, that's the end of this vlog." And it just cut off there. Greer instantly got ten times more nervous to meet him. She was the "perfect girl." they were looking for. This isn't happening she thought to herself, not to me at least.

Sunday 9:00 AM

Greer walks into the huge building, going to the secretary's desk and she looks up. "Greer Murphy, here for Paramount Pictures." she says politely to the secretary.
            "Floor 12, first door on your left should be 12A."
            "Thank you." Greer said as she nervously walked towards the elevator. She was told to dress casually, so she did. she wore a pair of loose brandy melville pants that most white girls in LA had, and wore them with a white tube top. Her long strawberry blonde hair was down, which happened to always look kind of strange with her brown eyes and freckle-less face, but she rocked it. She knocked on the door and opened it to reveal a multiple room lounge filled with people. Greer was stopped by a man at the front of the lounge behind a table covered in name tags.
            "Name?"
            "Greer Murphy?"
            "Ah, the golden girl."
            "That's me." She said laughing, receiving her name tag and walking into the room filled with people. She met the director again, the screenwriters and most of the executive producers, but still no Logan. Greer stepped around awkwardly until someone came up behind her and tried starting a conversation.
             "Glad im not the only loner here." The voice was masculine and laughed heavily.
             "Yea, i feel pretty isolated." Greer said as she turned around to see a familiar face.
