Chapter 2: Getting To Know You’s, Internships, and Weekend Plans

The entire car ride to Subway was spent arguing over what kind of music to listen to. Aiden wanted to listen to country, Ashley wanted rock, Spencer and Kyla wanted Kelly Clarkson, and Jessi wanted rap. Since it was Jessi’s car she eventually settled on making everyone happy, because she’s just a people pleaser like that, and popped in one of her mix cd’s that had a bit of everything on it. Everyone was quite surprised at how well all the music flowed together and even Ashley was singing along to Kelly Clarkson. Crazy huh?

After a good 20 minutes of driving they arrived at the restaurant, got their orders, and took a seat in a booth. As they were casually eating and drinking the silence at the table was starting to get to them, so Spencer jump started the conversation.

“So Jessi, what are you doing here in L.A.?”

“Well, I’ve always wanted to be able to say ‘Dramaaa in the O.C.’ so I figured the best way to do that would be to move out here and find a group of friends that could make drama over absolutely nothing, though I haven’t been able to find L.C. and Heidi yet so my opportunities are quite limited right now.” She replied completely serious.

Spencer looked at her like she was crazy.

“Spence, she’s kidding. She’s here for school.” Ashley told the blonde.

“Ohhh, haha gotcha.” Spencer replied, still a bit perplexed at Jessi’s response.

“Hah, yeah sorry about that Spencer, I tend to be sarcastic like…all the time. But Ash is right, I’m here for school. Wisconsin wasn’t really offering me what I want school wise, plus I’ve been there my entire life; it was definitely time for a change of scenery. I just transferred to UCLA.”

“Oh that’s cool! What do you want to do?” Kyla asked taking a bite of her sub.

“Well, I want to get involved with the media, mainly TV and so I did some research and I saw that UCLA has a really competitive program for their Film and Television major and when the students are seniors they get hooked up with internships. I thought about it and decided it was high time to do something that’ll get me to where I want to go so I applied and I just got in. I even got a sweet internship at MTV. I’m so excited.”
