Alyssa's POV

I was currently at the JFK Airport, ready to board my flight to Toronto. Being the last-minute person I am, I had only finished packing this morning. "This is the final call for all passengers boarding the flight 197 to Toronto". I hurried over to the woman checking the tickets. Once I was inside the plane, I found my seat and sat down. The plane was almost full. As the plane was about to take off, a handsome young man sits in the seat next to mine. He had curly brown hair that came just above his shoulders, a sharp jawline and a little bit of facial hair growing on his chin. "Damn" I whisper to myself. I then realize I might have said that louder than I intended when I see him smirk. I notice he was wearing headphones and hip-hop music seemed to be blasting from them. Maybe he didn't hear me. After all, I could hardly hear myself think with his music set that loud.

Arrived at the Toronto Pearson Airport, I get in an Uber and arrive to my hotel.  I set my bags in my room and decide to go exploring. It was only 1 pm so I had plenty of time to spare. I receive a text from an old family friend, Josh.

Hey! I hear you're in town and I was wondering if you'd like to come by sometime. It's been a while

Of course! I'm free right now actually.
Is now a good time?

Ya, I'll send you my address!

Thanks!

About half an hour later, I arrive at Josh's apartment. He looked so different compared to the last time I saw him. Then again, that was over 5 years ago, when puberty hadn't hit him like a truck. He pulled off the dark messy hair look and the moles on his face just made him cuter. And don't even get me started on his jawline. We catch up after all the time we've lost over the past few years. He talked about university and his hope of becoming an architect someday. I spoke about my experience in New York and my new role, although I couldn't say much. He offers to show me around Toronto and all his favourite restaurants and shops. We share laughs and talk about our childhood memories together. I end up having dinner with him at his place and before I know it, it's already 10 pm. "It was so great seeing you again" I say as I get ready to leave. "We should hang out again.""Of course!" he says, "Good luck tomorrow!" "Thanks Josh. I'll see you soon". I decide to call it a night and head back to the hotel. I had a long day ahead of me tomorrow. I was finally going to meet the cast of the new tv show and I couldn't be more excited. Hopefully I get along with them. I didn't want to mess up my first chance at my dream.

A/N: Hey guys! I'm sorry that the first chapters are so short, but I promise they'll get longer. Also, what do you guys think of Josh? Should there be a romance between him and Alyssa, or should it stay platonic. Don't forget to vote and comment!
