7:30 am, Sunny
As my alarm sounds off its infuriating noise, I open my bright yellow eyes to only be blinded by the sun peaking through my binds.
"Man... kinda wish I didn't put my bed here..." I groan. I turn over to my bedside to shut off my alarm only to notice a message from my boss.
"Oh boy... hope it's nothing important." I sigh as I open the message.
"Heyo Melody,
Sorry for the sudden message, but I need you to do something for me. You see, I'm kinda needed, like a lot, back home and I can't be at the studio for who knows how long! Can you take over for me? I know it's very sudden, but knowing you, this should be no problem! Kinda have to say 'yes' since I'm already out of town. Thanks!" -Ms. Creative"You've got to be kidding me?! I gotta get over there now!" I sprung so fast out of my bed I probably should've twisted my ankle. I ran into my bathroom and freshen upped in about 3 minutes flat. I quickly got dressed in my favorite blue bellsleeved dress, scarf, and boots, grabbed my bag and a protein bar, and headed straight towards the stairs in my apartment complex.

I'm lucky the film studio is near my apartment, so I can just run there with ease. Unlike the rest of the city, our studio is relatively small consisting of one large floor with a front desk/reception room. Nothing extraordinary, just a small lounge to the right and the two editing rooms to the left. Behind that is our set area where we film our clients' requests. It also the same room we make our sets in. To the left is the room where we do hair, makeup, and costumes. Next to that is prop storage.
Besides me and Creative, there's also Reb the receptionist, and Janet the nightly janitor (I kinda find it funny how these two's name kinda sound like there jobs).
I burst through the door, luckily Reb was already here. I ran up to him and was probably talking a mile a minute;
"Did Ms. Creative say anything about taking a leave?! I only just got the news this morning but I'm sure she told you right? I mean, it would be irresponsible for her to only tell me, but maybe you already know and I'm the one sounding dumbfounded, or-!"
"Geez, relax Blue." Reb cut me off, "Me and Jan already know 'bout this. Messaged me this morning too. I'm sure we'll be fine with just the 3 of us; don't worry 'bout it too much."
"You're sure nonchalant about it." I sigh, "But there's a small problem with the 3 of us, only 2 of us actually work during the day, and half the time you're manning the phone. I can't do everything for our clients' requests and I doubt you'll actually help."
"Aww, don't josh me like that. Besides, boss lady, can't you just call in Janet to help you?"
"I would if I wanted her to technically work overtime. Plus, he has a day job at the Wendy's down the street. *sigh*, I think I might just put up a help wanted ad."
"Sounds good, at least I wouldn't have to do anything." I look at Reb with a blank stare. "What?! Just sayin'."
"Anyway, what's on the menu?"
"We're ahead of schedule so we're good to do whatever for a bit."
"Alright! Then I'll start getting the word out for employees." I say with a grin. Reb silently applauded.
"You go do that, I'm probably just gonna take a nap."
"Dude... it's like almost 8 am." I look at him with disappointed face. I sigh and just head to an editing room.
I don't know if this was planned out or something, but we have two editing rooms, the one on the right is a normal sized room, while the other is barely big enough to fit a desk and maybe a twin-sized bed. Don't know why I used a bed for sized, but whatever. The smaller one did belong to Creative, but now it's, of course, unoccupied.
I sit down at my desk and get to work. Work as in just posting an ad on our Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter:
Help Wanted!
We're welcoming new members to Blue Studios! We're in need of editors, hair, makeup and costumes, and props and set. Hope you'll stop by!I look back to our ad and sigh,
"No one's going to see this. We barely have a name for ourselves... I can only hope."

A/N
Hey hey ho! Thanks for reading the first chapter of ItzMelody And Co: Era 1! Sorry if the pacing is bad, I have a rough idea on how to write this story, but I'm mostly just writing by ear.
Anyway, comment suggests and whatnot. I'll be trying to post new chapters once or twice a week but I doubt it'll stay like that for long.
