'Hello?' I said, as I picked up the phone. 'Hi Finn, Roy Lee speaking. I'm calling each of the cast today, to ask if you'll be able to make it today?' The voice on the other side of the phone said. 'Oh yeah, of course.' I replied. 'Ok, great. See you then!' Roy said. 'Wait! Before you hang up, I wanted to tell you that you won't have to bother calling Jack. I'm giving him a ride.' I said quickly, blushing. 'Oh ok. I didn't know you and Jack were friends.' Roy replied. 'Yeah. Well, I'll see you later then.' I said, before I hung up. I looked at the clock. It was already 1 PM. I would be meeting Jack in half an hour. I put on my shoes, and shot one last look into the mirror, before I stepped outside.

It was cold outside, as I parked my scooter in the street Jack lived in. Was it number 47 or 49? Shit I forgot. I grabbed my phone, to check what number it was, but Instagram didn't load. Shit what do I do now? I guess I got to pick..I walked the path to number 47. Just as I wanted to ring the doorbell, I heard a familiar voice behind me. 'Finn?' The voice said. I turned around, and there stood Jack, wearing a...T-Shirt? 'Hi Jack! Uh...isn't it a bit too cold for a T-Shirt?' I asked, walking away from the neighbours' door. 'No...I'm fine. He said, playing with the chain on his pants. 'Ok then. Uh...here's your helmet.' I said, as I gave him the one hanging on my steering frame. 'Thanks. Wait..where's yours?' He asked, looking confused. 'Oh, I only have one.' I said, as I sat down on my scooter. 'You coming?' I asked. 'I want you to wear the helmet. What if we fall?' He said, looking scared. 'Trust me, we won't fall.' I replied, tapping on the back of my scooter. 'Ok then.' He said. He sat down on my scooter, and held on to me tight. I couldn't help but smile, this felt so...good.

'We're here.' I said, as I turned of the motor of my scooter. 'Ok.' Jack said. We stepped off, and Jack still held on to me. 'We're off the bike, you can let go now.' I laughed. 'Oh yeah right...sorry. This was my first time on a scooter so I was kind of nervous.' He said, his face turning a shade of red. 'It's ok.' I said, smiling. We walked up to the door of one of the directors' home. On the door was a note, saying; 'IT CAST. Go through the back door.' 'Soo...do you know where the back door is?' I asked, looking a bit confused. 'Uh..I guess it's at uhm...Maybe we should just walk to the other side of the block. Maybe the back door will be there?' Jack said, also looking confused.
We started walking, and Jack's hands caught my eye. 'Are you sure you're not cold? Your hands are really red.' I asked, carefully. 'I'm fine, really.' He said, while he gave me a small smile. We walked to the back of the house. 'There it is.' I said, as I pointed to a big, wooden door. 'But it won't open.' Jack said, as he tried the handle a few times.' Shit. 'What do we do now?' I asked, getting nervous. 'Climb over it.' Jack replied. I started laughing. I stopped laughing when Jack's face stayed the same. 'Y...you're serious?' I asked, nervously. 'Yeah!' Jack replied. He walked up to the door. 'Could you give me a hand?' He asked. I walked up to him and placed a hand under his shoe. He carefully climbed up and sat on the top of the door. 'Now I'm taller than you.' Jack said, smiling. I giggled, why is he so cute? 'So Imma jump off now, and I'll open the door when I'm in.' He said, before jumping. After a few seconds the door swung open. 'There we go.' He said. We looked around. All we saw were balloons, tables, chairs and food, but there were no people. 'Do you think we got the right house?' I asked, beginning to sweat. 'Yeah, why wouldn't we?' He asked, looking confused. 'Well, there isn't anybody here. What if we just broke into someone's garden and crushed a little kid's birthday party?' I started panicking. 'Finn, calm down. I bet they just went inside.' He said with a soothing voice. 'C'mon, let's go.' He said, while he reached out to my hand. I hesitated, before I grabbed his hand and walked into the house. 'There you are! Finn and Jack?' A familiar voice said. 'Hi, I'm Roy Lee, the producer you have been talking to with the last phonecalls.' He said, while he schook our hands. 'The others are downstairs.' He said, while he started walking. I swallowed, before I grabbed onto Jack's hand once more and gripped it tight. We followed Roy downstairs. 'Did I ever tell you I was claustrophobic?' I whispered into Jack's ear. We entered the basement, and there were the other cast mates and directors, all chatting and getting along. Jack and I stopped in the doorway, still holding each other's hand. 'Come on, don't be shy.' Roy said, as he made a hand motion for us to come inside. We followed him inside, and everyone stopped talking. 'Everyone, the cast is complete.' Roy said, smiling. 'Let's make this a great day.'
