"Great job, Miss Goldstein, we just have one shoot left and you'll be done for the day. We're just waiting for Mr. Batten."

"Ryan Batten?"

I look off to the side at my manager who just gives me and apologetic look. She never told me anything about working with Ryan. "Is everything alright," I hear the photographer say, I look back at him with a smile, "No everything's fine." No the fuck it isn't. There's a lot of people who go to my school who I greatly dislike. Of course, number one on that list is Alison. Number two on the other hand is Ryan Batten. I never liked him even before he dated Leona. There is just this thing about him that just radiates negative energy everywhere he goes and no one seems to notice. I sit down in front of the vanities for touch-ups on my hair and makeup.

"Is he not a personal favorite?" Sasha, one of my makeup artists, asks. I really like her and we both get along well. "If he was getting chased by a dog in front of me I'd just laugh," I say as she fixes my eye shadow. "Wow, it's that bad?" She says with a laugh.

"Yep."

Suddenly, the studio got louder than it normally is. There's female staff gasping and whispering to each other. Which leaves me to assume that Ryan finally arrived. What was his point for being late anyways. The Producer's booming voice echoes throughout the whole studio as he greets Ryan. "He does not have to be that loud," I sigh, annoyed as he obviously tries to kiss up to Ryan and get on his good side. Sasha laughs at my comment and says something about me being the funniest person she's ever worked with because everyone else is lame.

Ding!

I look down at my phone.

"Never in my life did I ever think I'd have a photo shoot with Roseanne Goldstein," A familiar voice which obviously belonged to Ryan says.

"Rose, you're supposed to call me Rose."

"Right, I'm sorry, Rose."

Dumbass💛: I'm gonna cry
Dumbass💛: Why is this man so cute for?!

Me: lol cute as in adorable? I don't think that's the right adjective to describe him

I look up at the mirror slightly. Ryan was still standing behind me watching everyone work. Sit down please! "Oh! Mr. Batten I can do your hair if you just sit right here," Another stylists says as she comes over. Her voice annoyingly high in order to sound pretty. Nonetheless, she still saved me from the uncomfortable feeling of him standing behind me.

Dumbass💛: Yes! I wanna kiss him sometimes!

Me: You're such a baby. Do it I bet you won't!

Dumbass💛: Choke why you bet that?

Me: Because I enjoy messing with you

honestly tho ask him out

Dumbass💛: think I should?
