The day was finally here first day of filming. I knew I would have wardrobe but I still stayed up late night trying to decide on what to wear, how to do my hair, even how to introduce myself! I hoped the muffins I had baked made it easier for everyone today. Most of us had already met a few days ago but the male lead was still had not been able to make it to the LA, I had heard he was having some kind of legal issues. Not sure what kind but hoped they were being resolved soon. As I arrived on the set I felt the nerves disappear I knew this was where I belonged. I had just been cast as Rachel on a new musical comedy-drama show. Rachel is the daughter of an interracial same-sex couple, she is strong and driven but somewhat neurotic. She somewhat reminded me of myself at the start of my acting career.

I arrived early enough to greet everyone as they arrived, well almost everyone. I was in the wardrobe trailer behind a partition finishing up trying out my first outfit when I heard someone come inside.

" Hello?" I heard a male voice say.

" Yes? Can I help you?" I heard Lou respond.

"I'm looking for Lou." He responded.

"I'm Lou."

"Oh hi, I'm Cory. Ryan sent me down, sorry I'm late I got a bit lost in the lot. I will be playing Finn"

"Finn, I was wondering when I was going to meet you. Well look at you aren't you extra tall" Lou answered.

I wanted to peek around the partition to see what this "Cory" guy looked like. His voice sounded nice and pleasant. Rachel Berry is supposed to fall in love with Finn instantly and I didn't even know what he looked like.

"Ok Cory here is your clothes you can try them in here or in your trailer just don't go on set without me seeing how you look"

"Try them here?"

Lou laughed "Don't worry not in front of me you can go behind this partition. Oh wait Lea is there right now."

"Lea? She is here?" he asked.

Wait he knew who I was. How? Should I come out? Should I wait for an introduction? I stood there not knowing what to do. Not knowing why I was feeling so nervous to meet him.

"Yea she is" Lou answered, "Hey Lea? Are you ok to come out now?"

Oh shoot that was my cue I thought.

" Um, yea Lou I'll be right out" I called out.

I stepped out of the partition, looking down at my skirt as if trying to straighten it out. "Well how do I look?", I asked without looking up.

"I would say very Rachel Berry" Lou answered.

"You look nice" I heard Cory say.

At that moment I looked up. Oh my Lou was right he was tall and something she did not mention he was handsome. He stared down at me with intense hazel eyes.

"Oh, thank you", I said. "Nice to meet you, I'm Lea" I said as I stretched my hand to greet him.

"I sure know who you are" he said and walked over to shake my hand. "I'm Cory, Cory Monteith"

As our hands touched I felt a shiver go down my spine. His grip was strong but at the same time so soft.

"I bet this will be a change for you right?" he said.

"I'm sorry change?" I answered a bit surprised that I couldn't believe I was still holding his hand, which at that moment I let go and acted like I had to fix my hair.

"Well yea a change, you know from Broadway coming from Spring Awakening and now doing a television series" he said with a smile. Nice warm crooked smile.

Oh come on Lea concentrate I said shaking my head. "Oh, Yea I guess a bit of a change I won't have a live audience to get feedback from right away." I laughed.

"Wow" he laughed "You have a great laugh, I don't think I have ever heard anyone laugh quite like you." he said as he walked behind the partition. I was glad he was behind the partition that way he could not see me blush.

"Yea I get that a lot" I told him. "I guess people are not used to hearing someone my size laugh so loud."

"I like it" he answered from the partition.

I didn't even remember we were not alone until I heard Lou " Well I guess Ryan, Bryan and Dante sure know how to pick them"

I looked at Lou confused. "What do you mean?"

"I don't know if it's just me but it seems you two will have great chemistry, I can feel it. It's even given me goose bumps"

I hear Cory chuckle. "Well I'm all ready to go. How do I look?" he said stepping out from the partition.

There he stood with his blue jeans and his stripped polo shirt. Looking like a typical all American boy but something about just seemed right.

"Taller" I said with a smile. He smiled back, dazzling me for a second. "Just kidding Cory, you look good just as Finn Hudson should look"

"Great" he said "Well I guess I'm off, I've got to do a scene with Matthew right now. Thank you Lou" he said "Guess I will see you later Ms. Lea Michele." he said as he turned to me. I wonder if he could see me blushing,

"Yea of course, I've got to get ready to go sing to you, I mean sing for you, I mean sing with you"

Why did I sound so nervous? Come on Lea get it together I thought.

He chuckled, "Yea, You're the one that I want"

"What?" I asked shocked.

"Isn't that our first scene together?" He answered nervously "I thought our first scene was when we are in the theater room singing you're the one that I want from Grease. Am I wrong? I thought I memorized the schedule for today especially when I would work with you"

"Oh no sorry Cory I think I was the one I was confused with the scenes" I answered with a nervous chuckle.

"Ok then, later" he said as he walked out of the trailer in a hurry.

I then heard Lou laugh, again I forgo she was still here.

"What?" I asked her.

"Seems to me you like him" she said.

"No of course not, I have a boyfriend Lou who I like very much thank you."

"Uh-huh" she said chucking. "If you say so Ms. Lea Michele" she said sarcastically.

I do have a boyfriend who I do love. This Cory guy just got me all confused on my scenes. Confused on my scenes? I thought, I didn't even believe myself. I knew my scenes in order because I studied them over and over for the past few days. It's always good to be prepared.

I had to give myself a second glance in the mirror before stepping out to head over to the set. I then found myself thinking of Cory. Ms Lea Michele I remember him calling me. I smiled. He was nice I was sure we would get along just fine. It would make it so much easier for our characters. I would have no problem falling for him, I mean Rachel would have no problem falling for him. Rachel was supposed to fall for him not Lea, it was Rachel. I have Theo I love Theo. Yea that right, so forget you Cory I thought as I walked across the set seeing him talking to Matt.

I guess it is right, things are easier said than done.
