With a huff and a melodramatic flip of his hair, Chris McLean, surrounded by an eddy of executives and interns, leaned back within his brown leather office chair, transfixing his gaze to the fluorescent light dangling from a glass fixture above his head. "Finally." She murmured, drawing his palms lazily across his face.
"So, we got them all finalized? This is our cast?" An intern with a high-pitched voice squeaked from across the table. Chris inadvertently cringed at the pitch of her squeak, mumbling in irritation as he forced himself to sit upright. "Yes, that's the 24. From the lowest of low scum human beings, to slightly less scummy human beings. We have quite the range." Chris decreed.
His hand creeped across from him to grip the Starbucks cup that had since grown long cold since original purchase. But Chris saw cold coffee as a victory. If a coffee got cold for Chris, it meant that he did hard enough work that he forgot it was even there in the first place.
Throwing it to his lips, Chris savored the frigid roast, placing it down in its original spot with a slam loud enough to make a few sleep-deprived interns jump.
"People! Why the sleepiness?!" Chris yelled with newfound enthusiasm. "Do you realize what this means? We have an awesome cast of teens that'll make this season some of the juiciest television has ever seen. I don't think America, or the world is ready."
A few moments of silence followed Chris' speech, when the same, squeaky-voiced intern peeped yet again.
"That's great and all, but I had a doctor's appointment and missed it because I fell asleep around application 1240."
Here is our final cast! Thank you to everyone who submitted. No matter if your OC gets in or not, everyone's contribution to this story matters. I am going to want your feedback as to what I need to work on, what ships you dig, and who you want to see go to the end.
For now, I need to go to sleep. The first chapter will be done after Wednesday, once I get back from the beach.
Thank you again 🙂.
