I walked into the wear house of my new job with a smile on my face exited for a change from my old one. I immediately spotted a familiar face. "Kristy!" I called walking up to her. She quickly turned around and smiled "y/n! How are you? Ready for your first day?" she asked. "I'm great and I can't wait!" I replied with a smile.
She quickly introduced me to Kon who is the person in charge of most of the filming, a bit like a director and who is also her boyfriend. He quickly told me what I needed to do and I got to work, making sure the set was perfect and helping to set up all the lighting.
I was then introduced to Simon who is one of the seven sidemen and who had organised the shoot today. "Hi I'm Simon." he introduced himself with a friendly smile. "y/n. Nice to meet you." I replied professionally. "So, are you enjoying your first day?" He asked. "Yeah. This set is so cool!" I answered enthusiastically. Simon smiled lightly then looked behind me and waved. I turned around to see someone walking towards us. "Aight?" Simon fist bumped the short ginger. "Yeah mate, you?" he replied. "Yeah, good good." Then he turned to me. "y/n right?" He asked. "Yes nice to meet you..." "Ethan." he added. "Ethan."
I met four other people from the sidemen and they were all lovely: Tobi, JJ, Vik and Josh. Everyone was ready to start filming but who I assumed was Harry (due to overhearing a conversation between Kon and Simon) was late. Finally he walked in and all of the boys started teasing him and going on about a red card for being so late, but he protested that he was stuck in traffic.
Kon sent me on set to adjust one of the lights that was slightly off, and everyone got in their places ready to film. "A little to the left!" Kon ordered from across the room. "There?" I asked, moving the light around. "Stop. Perfect." As I left the set I caught someone's eye. It was who I assumed was Harry since I have met everyone here, and I didn't recognise him. I smiled lightly at him and he did the same back, before I walked back towards Kon.
Filming went on for just over two hours. Since it's my first day I was basically following Kon around and doing whatever he needed done. Once we finished I helped Kristy put away some of the camera equipment.
I grabbed my bag and coat ready to leave for the day, when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see Harry. "I didn't get too introduced myself earlier. I'm Harry." he said putting out his hand. "y/n." I replied, shaking his hand. "Had a good first day?" He asked me. "Yes, everyone's so nice here!" I replied enthusiastically. He smiled. "I better be getting home. See you on the next shoot?" "Yep, See you there." I replied as we both walked away.
That night I was followed on instagram by Tobi (who I'd given my username to when we ran into each other as we were getting into our cars), JJ, Vik, Ethan, Josh, Simon and Harry. I followed them all back then went to sleep.
Today marks a week working for the sidemen, and I did a little research one night to figure out what they were all about, since I was clueless when I first started. Instead of a warehouse like my first day, they're shooting a side-cast (their podcast), which is located in a very tall building. From the email, I was told that James (who is one of the main camera men) would be 'in charge' today. I also found out that only four of the sidemen do the podcast at a time and today would be: Simon, Tobi, Harry, and JJ.
When I arrived I walked into reception and signed in. Once I went up the lift and found the right room I walked in and quickly spotted James. We said hello, and he told me that I would be in charge of camera two today and that the boys would be here any minute. I sat down my bag and took off my coat.
Tobi was the first to arrive followed by Simon, JJ and then Harry. They all greeted me along with the rest of the crew, and we got straight into filming. It took about an hour and a half to film the entire side-cast and then afterwards as I was grabbing my bag and coat I saw Harry walking towards me.
"Hey!" he smiled at me. "Hi, do you need anything?" I asked, feeling slightly nervous. "No, I was just wondering if you maybe wanted to go and get lunch?" a smile spread across my face, and I replied "I would love to."
I was quite surprised that Harry had asked me to lunch, but I was very happy he had. I ended up going in his car and he drove to nando's. He was the first to talk "I'm not sure if you like nando's," "Oh no I love it, it's my favourite!" I reassured him. "Thank God." he replied sarcastically. After we finished our food, he asked me if I would like to come back to his place. I said yes, and he drove to his apartment.
As he was about to unlocked the door he stopped. "By the way, I have a roommate, just ignore him." he said in a slightly jokey tone. I laughed. "Will do." Once he open the door, we both took off or shoes and he walked me through to the kitchen. "Your apartment is lovely." I complemented, looking around.
After about an hour of sitting and talking on his couch, who I assumed was his roommate walked in. He looked at Harry and raised his brows. Harry gave him a dirty look then introduced us. "y/n this is Cal, Cal y/n." he said as we both stood up. I smiled and put my hand out to shake his, and he did just that. "Nice to meet you." he smiled, wiggling his eyebrows. "You too." I replied laughing.
"So, are you Harrys bird, yeah?" He asked with a smirk. Harry punched him in the arm "ow!" Cal groaned quietly. "Uh no, no I'm not." I replied with a slight giggle, finding them very amusing. "You should get on that then Bog." My brows furrowed. "Bog?" I thought. "Bog?" I said allowed. "Stupid nickname." Harry replied .
Cal or Freezy as he told me to call him retreated back to his room after grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge. Harry turned to me. "I told you to ignore him." I laughed. "He seems nice!"
I spent a few hours at Harry's place before I decided it was time to go home. We exchanged numbers before I left. "Thanks for lunch. I had a great time." he smiled. "Me too, see you at the shoot on Thursday?" "See you there."
Harry's pov:
As soon as the door closed I heard Freezys open. I turned to see him stood with a smirk on his face. "She's nice." He chuckled. "Yep." I really did like her, she's funny, kind, she smells amazing and she is so fucking beautiful. Shit, I really like her.
