Okay, This is my first story, so I hope you all enjoy it! Here is somebackground info:
Name: McKenzie (Kenzie)Holidey
Best Friend: Alyssa (Ali) West
Moved to LA recently, annddd GO.
"Look Ali, I'm telling you! It was my worst audition yet!" I said into my phone one afternoon. I was leaving another studio after yet another terrible audition.
"Oh come on Kenz, it can't honestly have gone THAT bad, can it?" Ali said calmly from the opposite side of the phone.
"I messed up on every line, and tripped on my way in. The director looked at me like I was some kind of freak!" I took my headshots out of my purse and looked at the skills listed on the back. "I don't even know why half this stuff is on here!"
"It's all in your mind. Look, I got to go, some crazy guy is trying to steal our hoses again. I'll talk to you later!" and Ali was gone with a click. I sighed and was walking along the side of the building when a door opened and…
BAM!
Papers were flying everywhere! It took me a few seconds to realize what just happened, and all I knew was my head was pounding. Must of hit a rock. All of a sudden a hand appeared in front of her.
"I am so sorry! Are you okay?" I looked up to see a really cute guy staring back at me. He had a look of worry on his face.
"What? Oh, yeah I'm fine." I got up and wiped some dirt off my dark blue skinnies, and noticed something blue on my perfectly white tank. Great. I don't even want know what that is… I thought.
"Good." He smiled a photo perfect smile and looked down at the mess below them. "Crap, which of this is mine?"
I looked down and noticed what he was talking about. There were papers everywhere, my headshots mixed in. And where was my phone? "I have no idea… I only had a few things.." We both began searching through the papers until we had everything that belonged to them.
"Well, thanks for not injuring me. I really appreciate it." I turned to walk away when the guy said,
"Wait!" He jogged up next to her. "Maybe I can walk with you for a bit?" I looked at him, and smiled with a simple nod. We began walking down the street.
"So I'm guessing you have a name?" He turned and looked at me. I could feel my heart start beating up faster and faster.
"McKenzie. Most people just call me Kenzie though. And you?"
"Logan. Most people just call me Logan." He smiled and I let out a little laugh. Didn't want him to hear my full out laugh quite yet. "So are you new around here, or do you just naturally walk into opening doors?"
"Haha very funny," I said, playfully punching him on the arm. "I actually moved here a few months ago with my best friend from Wisconsin. She works at a florist with her aunt. What's your story?"
"I moved here about a year or so ago. I moved here to follow my dream."
"And how's that working out?" I gave him an eyeing look.
"Alright, been on a show or two. Sorry, but I have to go, my boss will probably kill me. I guess I'll see you around." He smiled at that.
"Don't worry, I'll try to run into less people." We both let out a laugh and with that he was off.
I continued to walk down the street alone until I got to her apartment. The whole walk home, I couldn't get Logan off of my mind. Oh well, I thought, It's not like I'll ever see him again…
"Geez, crazy hobos." Ali mutters when she walks in the door. "They can't give us a break!"
"Rough day?" I didn't even bother look up from 27 Dresses, mine and Ali's favorite movie since like, forever!
"Nah, pretty much like every other day. Sell a few plants, smack a hobo for trying to steal a hose, sell a few more plants, walk home." Neither of them owned a car, so walking was their option. At least L.A. was warm. "Yours?" She walked into her room to change from her work uniform, but she's still within hearing distance. I pause the movie just as Katherine Heigl is looking through wedding announcements.
"It was kinda sucky through most of it. Then on my way home, a cute dude ran into me, and we talked for a while. Then I came home and started watching this. Oh, and Zeke called." Ali comes running from her room with ripped skinnies, a cami, and one lonely sock.
"What did you just say?"
"Zeke called…"
"No, before that." Zeke was her kinda-sorta-it's-a-little-confusing-boyfriend.
"I started watching this…" I pointed to the frozen screen with the remote.
"No! Before that…" Ali giggled, but was obviously getting a little annoyed.
"A cute guy ran into me and we talked for a while?" I questioned while raising an eyebrow.
"There we go! So are you telling me that a little miss someone is possibly finally moving on from Jordan?" Ali gave me a hopeful look.
"I don't know… I mean, we were together for 4 and a half years. That's not easy to get over. I wish he didn't want to stay in Wisconsin. Or that long distance relationships worked out." I sighed. Ali had been trying for months now to get me out to meet some new guys. Even though we broke up 3 months ago, I still doesn't feel right about it. Honestly, Logan was the first guy I actually called cute in months. That was progress.
"Gah. Fine, wanna order a pizza and finish this movie?" Ali said to get off the topic of Jordan. I nodded quickly, and Ali dialed The Pizza Shop, which was practically a speed dial number, and walked into the other room. She walked back in with a sigh. "Blah, they can't send someone, we'll have to go down there." I sighed, and got my jacket and we headed out the door. ~
