“I never thought it would be this busy already,” Ivy whispers.
“A lot of the costumes and makeup arrived this morning because of the storm coming in. Everyone is scrambling to get everything set up and ready for light testing, either this afternoon or tomorrow.”
We both stand just inside the door, not sure where to go or who to report to, but not wanting to get in the way of everyone moving around. Just as we are about to head further into the room, I feel a hand grip my shoulder.
“Sorry, but you two can’t be here. This is for movie staff only. You’ll have to leave.”
I turn and notice a young man, about our age. He’s tall with dirty blond hair and looks like he should be in one of these movies instead of working on one. “We aren’t guests of the lodge. I’m Andi and this is Ivy. We’re both here to begin work with the costume and makeup departments. Is there any way you can point us in the right direction?”
“Where are your badges?” He holds up a badge hanging at the end of his lanyard.
It has the studio symbol on it and his name, Andrew, written across it in bold lettering.
I take a deep breath, attempting not to lose my temper. “Today is our first day. We need to meet with our supervisors to get our badges. Nolan told both of us to report here at seven.”
Andrew rolls his eyes in response, just as I realize my mistake.
“Nolan? Do you mean Mr. Archer?” He grumbles something about nepotism.
Just as I’m about to put him in his place, Rebekah steps into the room.
“Andi and Ivy, I’ve been looking for you. Nolan forgot to tell me he asked for you to meet here instead of at the front desk. No one is allowed in here without a badge.” She stares at our new friend before turning back in our direction. “I hope Andrew didn’t give you a hard time?”
Before I can respond, Ivy chimes in.
“Of course not. He was just trying to help us figure out where you were.”
Flashing Andrew a fake smile, I thread my arms through Ivy and Rebekah’s. “All right, let’s get a move on. We’re already late for our first day on set.”
“It’s okay. I know the boss. Since this is his fault, he’ll probably let it slide.”
The three of us laugh as we head further into the room and Rebekah takes us to our new homes for the next eight to ten weeks.
