"Oh my god! It finally came!" I can't believe they accepted me. I will now be interning for a major record label this summer before senior year. I really really want to work as a designer, so me and my best friend Ashley decided to look out for internships we might be interested in. She saw a spot open for a costume designer and a makeup designer for some girl group. We sent in our admissions and now I'm in.

I made my way upstairs to my room. Once I was there I closed the door and hopped on my bed. Getting my computer to FaceTime Ashley. While I waited for her to answer. I opened the letter.

Dear Y/F/N Y/L/N,

Congratulations on being excepted by Epic Records to join our girls, Fifth Harmony, this summer for part of their tour. You will be working in the field of costume design. We hope your goal while you are with us is to work to the best of your ability and don't be afraid to speak your mind. Express yourself and grow while you are here. There are some rules that your mentor will let you know of during your training day. She'll be showing you the ropes and teaching you all you need to know. We'll be contacting you later this week explaining all the traveling information and the tour dates you'll be joining us on. For now, start packing and get excited. Can't wait for you to join us.

Sincerely, L.A. Reid

"Y/N! Y/N! I'm losing it! Can you believe we'll be working on tour with the Fifth Harmony." Oh, Fifth Harmony that's their name. The Work From Home girls. I think that's probably the main reason Ashley wants to intern there. "Aren't you excited?!"

"Of course I am. But we're excited for different reasons. You just want to meet the girls, while I just want to get my name out there. You know my plans go to..."

"F.I.T., work for Vogue Magazine, create your very own brand." I rolled my eyes playfully. "You know you make me feel like I'm such a bum. You have everything planned out, while the only thing I have planned is what I'm going to eat for breakfast and what I'm going say to the girls when we meet them." She cleared her throat. "Hi, you have given me the confidence to do and fulfill any and all of my dreams. Plus y'all are way hotter than a stack of pancakes." I laughed at her goofiness.

"That line will never get you anywhere and speaking of hotter than a stack of pancakes. How's your latest boy toy, Conner may I recall." She rolled her eyes at me.

"Oh, shut up. What am I supposed to do? Be like you? All you do is study, sleep, study, eat, but barely, and I think that's it." I started to play with my sweatshirt sleeves, a little embarrassed. It's true. My social life doesn't exist, besides my emotional posts on tumblr. "I mean I'm sorry about the whole Jess situation. But you need to get you another girl." Ugh. Why did she have to bring that up? I closed that book a while ago and I don't plan on opening it back up.

"Let's not bring that up. I just... how about I call you tomorrow? We can FaceTime while we pack. Sound good?" She nodded her head, knowing she hit a nerve. "Bye Ash."

"Bye, babycakes." I hate even thinking about my breakup. She was my first love. But that all went in the trash because she didn't want to show her true colors to the world and was afraid of what others would think of her. I wanted to wait for her, but I got sick of the hiding. So, I ended it and what hurt the most was that after we broke up she started dating her ex again like I meant nothing to her. I haven't spoken a word to her since and I don't plan to.

I walked over to my desk and sat my laptop down and started to pull out my pj's. In two days I'll be heading off to an amazing internship job, touring the world for the summer. I think that's enough time to get over Jess. At least I hope it is. Who knows what the future will hold.
