Chapter 3
Lea woke up the next morning to the sound of her phone alarm. She realized that it was 8:00 am and should probably get up and get ready for her first day of work. As she went to tap the snooze button on her phone she saw she had a message from Theo. Shit, Theo. How am I suppose to tell him I got the leading role on a television show and I am going to have to move to California. So I decided to call him. It rang a few times then he picked up
"Hi Lea" he said
"Hey Theo" I said biting my nails nervously. "I have something to tell you." I said
"Yeah?" He replied
"Well you see Jon tricked me into trying out for a lead role in a new tv show called Glee and I got the part, which means I have to move to California and live here."
Theo took a minuet to reply and then said "Lea that's great, congrats."
"Thank You" I said
"Lea"
"Yeah Theo." I said
"You're going to be in Los Angeles tonight, right?" He sounded nervous
"Yes." I replied. "I'm going to be here for another week and a half and then I'll come back to New York and get all my stuff and ship it to Los Angeles."
"Ok" he replied "Congrats on the show, gotta go bye."
I said goodbye to him but he hung up before I could even finish. Then I thought to myself why did Theo need to know if I was going to be in Los Angeles tonight? Whatever I said to myself, and then got into the shower.
As I pulled in to the Fox lot, I saw a parking spot with my name on it and thought that was so cool, my own parking space! I walked into set and Ryan came over to me and brought me to a room where there were 6 other people standing. They all looked around my age. Ryan introduced us all and said we were going to be cast mates. Ryan got a phone call and said he had to take it, so that left the seven of us in the room, so we all started talking. I talked to everyone. Here were the parts
Dianna would be playing Quinn Fabray
Kevin would be playing Artie Abrhams
Amber would be playing Mercedes Jones
Naya would be playing Santana Lopez
Heather would be playing Brittany Pierce
Chris would be playing Kurt Hummel
I would be playing Rachel Berry
I seemed to have talked to Dianna the most. We instantly became friends and I feel like I have known her for years. Then Ryan walked back into the room with a tall man standing behind him. Ryan stepped to the side and said
"Sorry about that everyone. I would like you to meet Cory Monteith, he will be playing Finn Hudson."
As soon as I turned my head to look at him, I thought holy shit was he attractive. He was tall, had brown hair and had eyes that made me want to melt, looking into his big brown eyes made me feel like I was swimming in a chocolate river. Then I looked away because I realized I was staring at him and I thought to myself, stop that Lea you have a boyfriend. Cory went up and introduced himself to everyone then came up to me and said
"Hi, you must be Lea, I'm Cory. It's nice to meet you." He stuck his hand out for me to shake.
I looked up at him and said
"Hi Cory, I'm Lea. It's nice to meet you too."
I took his hand and shook it. As soon as our hands touched I felt this electric shock go up my arm. What was that I thought to myself. Hmmmm weird. Then I pulled my hand away.
Ryan interrupted us and said
"Ok everyone our choreographers couldn't make it today, so we are going to show you to your trailers." We all walked in a group outside and Ryan showed everyone their trailers until only me and Cory were left.
"Ok Cory, so this one is your trailer and Lea yours is right next to his." Ryan said while pointing at both of our trailers. We both walked up the steps of our trailers and I lost sight of Cory as he walked into his trailer, so I decided to walk into mine with Ryan following behind me. As we both sat on the couch Ryan said
"Ok Lea I am going to need you and Cory on set here tomorrow at 6:30 am so you can shoot your first scenes. I'm expecting you have your lines memorized already, am I correct?"
"You got it." I replied
"Good, now I am going to tell Cory the same thing I just told you. Now go home and get some sleep. See you early tomorrow morning."
"Ok" I said.
I stayed in my trailer for five more minuets and then walked out. As I was walking to my car I heard someone call my name. It was Dianna.
"Hey Lea, I forgot to ask you for your phone number." So I gave it to her and then she said thank you and goodbye. As I continued to my car I heard someone else call my name. I turned around to see who it was and there he was standing there looking perfect. Stop it Lea you have a boyfriend, I thought to myself and gave myself a mental slap.
"Hey Lea, I just wanted to catch up to you, to tell you I'm excited to shoot our first scene tomorrow!" I looked at him and then replied
"Me too, can't wait! I'll see you early tomorrow morning." I said opening my car door. He said ok and then gave me the most adorable half smile ever. I got into my car and then drove away. I went back to Jon's and then went right to bed. I just couldn't wait to go to work tomorrow morning!
