"You looking forward to your new job, Kirstie?" Sarah asked me.
"I suppose" I said with my hands in the pockets of my hoodie.
Sarah was my best friend for years since I moved to Staten Island and I've just got my new job in television! I'm working along side Casey Jost as I'm a new producer for their show.
We watched a few episodes just to see what it's about and it seems pretty funny. I began work in 2 hours so I decided to get ready. I wore my black t shirt with black jeans and boots with my jacket. I wore light make up- just powder, blusher and mascara and headed off. They were filming in the supermarket today and I decided to get there a bit early to meet everyone.

When I got there Pete McPartland introduced me to most of the crew. I met Casey and he was super nice to me! I was being welcomed to everyone from people in the art department, to make up department to everyone.
A few minutes later Murr and Joe come out.
"Guys, this is our new producer for the show" Pete said.
I stood there nervously and just smiled with them both looking at me.
"Welcome..." Murr began
"Kirstie" I interrupted.
"Welcome Kirstie" Joe said.
"Q and Sal are on their way, hope you like working here!!" Murr said.
About 5 minutes after meeting Joe and Murr, Sal and Q walked in.
"Nice to meet you" Q said to me. I just smiled at him as he walked away. Sal walked directly passed me without saying a word to me. I thought it was quite rude, but I ignored it and began my job.
Me and Casey were working together as I was still getting used to what I should be doing. When the jokers took a break, I got handed Sal's lunch to pass to him. I didn't want to, as he was really rude to me but I had to if I still wanted to make money!
"Uhh Sal..." I began, my hands immediately shaking.
"Yeah?" Sal said looking up at me.
"This is your lunch" I said slowly handing it to him.
He looked down at his phone and took the bag off me. Again- rude! Their makeup artist came over to me and said
"Don't take it personal. He's been a bit down recently. I'm Aimee!"
"Oh..well okay and I'm Kirstie."
We spoke to eachother for a while until it was Sal's turn. He had to whisper into people's ears and get them to whisper back. I couldn't help but laugh but I hated it. He could've been more polite.

After filming was over Q talked to Sal
"You could've been nicer to her." He said.
"Who?" Sal asked as if I don't exist.
"Her-" pointing at me "Kirstie. You were quite rude earlier "
"Fine" he said walking towards me.
"Uhh Kirstie right?" He said looking at me.
"What" I said with an angry tone.
"I'm sorry for earlier!" He said.
"Nope" I said and picked up my bag and left. He rolled his eyes at me and went back to Q and said "I tried"

I was walking home and it was quite late now so it was a bit scary. I saw headlights approaching me so I picked up my speed, anxious as to why it was getting closer. The car beeped at me so I looked in. I saw the window unwind and saw Sal in the driving seat.
"Need a lift?" He said.
"Not from you" I said- although I did need a lift. I lived an hour away from where we were filming.
"Please! I said I'm sorry" he pleaded.
"Ugh!" I murmured. "Fine" I said. He opened the door to let me in.
"Where to?" He asked me with a soft smile.
"Bridges in Staten Island" I said trying not to look at him.
"Great!" He said. "I'm sorry for um.. being rude earlier. I've just been feeling quite,,,, lonely recently" he said.
"Why?" I asked, curious to know.
"Well I went over Joe and Bessy' house and saw how in love they were and I thought how I have never been in love and well it just made me feel down" he told me whilst driving.
"Same if I'm honest, I haven't been in a serious relationship.... ever" I said.
We both awkwardly laughed and I put on the radio to listen to music.. and to avoid the awkward silence. He pulled up to my house.
"Thanks for the ride!" I said.
"No problem, Kirstie. Hope we are okay now"
"Of course" I replied to him and walked into my house.
"Wow" Sal said to himself. "She's amazing!" (I didn't hear him say this). As he drove home he realised I left my jacket in his car so he took it inside his house and hung it up and put a note on his fridge Kirstie's jacket!!!
Q rang Sal  later that evening.
"Hey dude. I found you a date! You said you were feeling lonely so maybe you should go on the date with this gal! Yeah?!" Q asked.
"I have my eye on someone but thanks" Sal said.... thinking of me...
