Zoe

I knew moving to LA that I would be seeing stars, but I had no idea that on my very first day. While walking through the park that BAM! There one would be. His name was Beck he wasn't a big star but I had seen him in a movie, It was a how you say a small but crucial role in a Mellissa Murray movie. He played a waiter.

I didn't know how to approach him but, something drew me to him and before I knew it I was introducing myself to him. He nodded and acknowledged me.

"You were in the Mellissa Muarry movie right?" I asked

He nodded, "You recognize me?"

I replied, "Yeah you were the waiter"

He nodded again and said "Yeah that was a while back while I was in High school."

"Well you still look the same to me. So what you reading there?" I asked

He looked puzzled then realized that he had a book in his hand. He then said, "Oh Grease"

"They made a book about Grease, Was it Blue Magic"

He smiled "Sweetie no, it's a script I'm reading for my Improve class hopefully I'll get to be in the play this fall."

"You're going to be performing Grease, where?" I asked

"At my college" He replied

Something sunk in. "Oh you must go to Hollywood Arts University (HAU)" I said

"Yeah I'm going to be a sophomore this year. How did you know?" He said.

"I recognize the play from the list they gave me. I'm going to be a freshman this year What is it like?"

"Well it's very unique… but, I think you might like it what your major?"

"I'm majoring in behavioral psychology with a minor in dance"

"Oh that's cool" he said "I'm majoring in business and management with a minor in drama."

"Oh nice do you want to own your own business some day?"

He said with, "You ask a lot of questions."

My face heated up from embarrassment "Oh I…"

He chuckled, "It's not a bad thing."

"Well I'm just going to go so you can study your script. It was nice meeting you," I started to leave.

"Wait Zoe," he said getting my attention. "Do you want to get some coffee sometime? I know this great place a few blocks from HAU."

"I'd like that." I smiled.

"Does tomorrow work?"

"I kinda have to pick up my best friend from the airport-"

"Bring her, I can bring my friend as well," he said interrupting me.

"Oh, that work," I smiled.

"Wait here is my number in case you need directions," He wrote his number on my hand and left.

I smiled inside and out as I walked towards my new apartment.
