You stood in front of the table filled with food, staring meaningfully into a plate of mini-carrots. You're not sure how you got here, but you sure are here.
Around about a week ago you were on your daily coffee run to Starbucks; It was a normal Monday for all you knew. You were standing in line when suddenly, from across the room, you heard a man shout,"HOLY SHIT! It's her! She's the one!".
Well, turns out that man was the main casting director for one of the biggest movie companies around, and 'The One' he was shouting about was you. Apparently, you were the perfect look-alike for a character in the new Star Wars movie, and not shortly after that he was handing you a 3 year contract to act in the movie franchise. Luckily for you both, you were an aspiring actress and had yet to secure a part - even as an extra - in any shows or movies (how convenient).

Right now you stood at the snack table, and recalled the countless interviews and auditions you had attended, silently laughing at all the directors who simply scoffed at you and shouted 'Next!'.
You were snapped out of your trance by someone shouting your name.

"Oi, Aria - hurry up, the mini-sandwiches can't be that interesting!"
On set, everyone seemed to refer to the actors and actresses as their characters, so you were very used to being called 'Aria'.
Tearing yourself away from the fascinating food, you followed the voice into the room labelled 'Break room' to the left of you. It was meant to be a break room but it was mostly used for meetings and half-assed rehearsals.

You sat down in one of the strangely-comfortable plastic chairs and nodded to Jeffrey the director, who sat at the head of the long table. as he did a basic 'hello' to everyone, you looked around at the various people sat along side you. Sat on your left was Mark; you'd met him briefly by the snack table - a cast favourite - and he seemed nice. to your left was Daisy. You recalled when you'd first met her and all you could think about was how beautiful she was; you couldn't figure out whether you wanted to shag her or be her (Win-win in my opinion). Next to her was John - you remembered spilling coffee down your front as you first arrived on set, and just as you did you made direct eye contact with him. He obviously laughed at you, and you two had bonded quickly over the Starbucks mishap.

You continued to look around before your eye was caught by the man in front of you; Adam Driver. Your eyes lingered on him as you took in his features - his hair was dark and tousled, and framed his face beautifully. you noticed his unruly eyebrows and plump lips, and how they complimented his chiselled nose.

You quickly pulled your attention back to Jeffrey, as he started talking about the characters.
"Now, as you all know, this movie is a long-awaited continuation of the franchise, and you all know your characters as if they were close friends,"
He always tried so hard to be poetic but never quite got there.
"However, This movie marks the introduction of a new character; Aria Luna"
He nodded his head towards you affirmatively, and you smiled back.
"We Have a face, a name, and a backstory," he continued," but as we start rehearsing and filming, I'm sure that all of us are very excited to see how she is developed as a character, and I'm sure that you'll do a fantastic job of bringing Aria to life."
He directed the last part at you and you gave a confident smile and a nod at him. As he continued talking, you noticed Adam looking at you out of the corner of your eye. you kept your eyes on Jeffrey, but your attention on the handsome man in front of you, watching as he studied your face and eventually
turned away.

You walked out of the room, script in hand, as you followed Marie, the on-set costume manager, to get your measurements for some of the outfits. She lead you down the short hallway and into a dressing room. Its walls were plastered with scraps of material and messy sketches.

"Just stand here love, and could ya lift your arms up for me please?" Marie said In her thick northern accent, lifting a measuring tape up to your chest. You complied as she measured you, quickly scribbling digits into her notebook. As she measured your hips, a man called into the room. "Hey Marie, Jeff said you needed new measurements?"
The voice was smooth and low, and drew your attention easily.

"yeah hun," she called back,"i just need ta finish this. it wont be long so come 'n' take a seat."
You watched as Adam walked into the room, taking a seat at one of the dressers to your left.
"i don't believe we've met," he said, watching you stand like a crucifix,"Im Adam, but I guess you can call me Kylo" he let out a deep chuckle.
"Nice to meet you Kylo, I Guess you can call me Aria" You turned your head to smile at him, as Marie said "Adam, come 'n' stand here lad."
He stood up, taking your position, as Marie started to measure him.
"I must say, you really do look like Aria, the character I mean. How'd they find you?" he continued talking to you as you stood in front of him.
"Dumb luck, i guess. One moment i was in Starbucks, queuing to get a frappalappachino or whatever, and the nest Jeffrey was tackling me to the ground, and begging me to sign this contract." You laughed a little as you looked at him.
"So no audition?"
"well i had to prove that i could act, but no proper audition, no"
"ugh, lucky you," he chuckled," auditions are hell"
"oh my god, aren't they just?" You said, dramatically flailing your hands by your sides," I've been to, I'd say, around a million auditions and not a single one gave me a part." You rolled your eyes.
"Just as well," he said, gesturing to you," or you might not be here and I'd probably never of met you." He said with a charming smile.

you laughed, looking down at your feet. "trust me, after knowing me for a while, you'll wish you never did." you joked.
He let out a laugh, and as you watched him smile, you couldn't help but notice how tall he was compared to you.
"All done, love" Marie shooed you and Adam out of the door as she frantically scribbled numbers down in a note book.
"everything heres pretty self-explanatory, but i can show you round if you'd like, Aria?" he asked tentatively.
"Yhank you, Kylo, I'd like that very much." You said with a smile on your face.
