Taylor was sitting at her desk, eyeing the little clock in the corner of her computer screen. She was desperately wishing for it to turn 3pm so she could stop opening and closing the same two tabs every minute and go home. She didn't want to be the first one to leave the office, even though she was sure everyone else knew she had run out of things to do one and a half hours ago.

She bit her lip and glanced towards the desk closest to her. Abigail was typing away on her keyboard, tilting her head every now and then. The red-head looked busy. Taylor sighed. Was she the only intern here with nothing to do? What tasks could the others have possibly been assigned to keep them busy until Friday afternoon?

She looked at her screen again and refreshed her e-mail. Nothing. To no one's surprise. Before she could worry about her boredom any further, the door opened and a cheerful Emma walked in, holding a cup of coffee in one hand and her phone in the other.

"Hey ladies! If you're done for the day, you can feel free to pack your things and head home, start the weekend early! Please don't think you have to sit around here!"

Taylor froze. Had the editor been watching her? Did they have cameras in the offices? She didn't dare to turn around and look for them. Instead, she smiled in Emma's general direction and shut down her computer. She was about to pack her bag when the woman approached her desk.

"Hey Taylor, how was your first week? Everything alright?"

Taylor sat up straight in her chair. "Yes, everything's great, thank you. I've finished for today. I'm still getting used to everything, but I'm liking it. Abigail showed me how to use the coffee machine today."

Emma laughed. The editor had been the one who had picked Taylor for her internship at Blaze. She was small with pale skin and shoulder-long hair. She placed her coffee cup on Taylor's desk.

"I'm glad to hear everything's going well, Taylor. And if you find yourself not having so much to do yet, don't worry. It will all come in time." She smiled encouragingly.

Taylor gulped and nodded.

"Thank you. I got to be in one video yesterday, it was a lot of fun."

"Oh yeah, I saw. Playing with cats while answering questions about your love life? Not the worst video to start with here" Emma said and grinned.

Abigail must have listened to their conversation because she perked up. "Emma, how is it that she's in a video with cats while I have to taste test weird candy? Unfair!"

Taylor laughed. "Cats are kinda my brand, so ..."

"I'm not about to have taste tests be my brand, that's for sure." Abigail said drily.

Emma looked between the two new interns. "I'm gonna have you two in a video together soon, you seem to be getting along well, from what I can tell." She winked.

Taylor didn't know what to say, but Abigail gave a thumbs up and grinned. They had been hitting it off right away on Monday. She was glad to have her desk next to her. While Taylor always felt a bit shy in new situations, Abigail seemed to be more of the out-going type, talking to everyone about everything. Taylor was looking forward to working on a project with her, if Emma kept her word.
