STORMI ESTES

⋆⭒˚.⋆☆⋆｡𖦹°✮⋆˙,

love? more like evil.

My mom always told me when i was young that i would easily find love with how social i am. Who was going to tell her that being social would actually drive people away. In middle school, i lost a friend because she was tired of me yapping. I also lost another friend because they wouldn't trust someone who talks so much in case i spill a secret. People these days will make up crazy excuses. I was practically a loner throughout middle school. But it was okay... I had theatre.

That was such a theatre kid saying. I'm embarrassed.

My standards aren't even high. I wouldn't say low.. but it's a reasonable amount. Everyone just seems to already have found their pair. I'm scared that my soulmate is across the country. That's like more money wasted. I'm not going to travel to find some dude.

Whatever, men are a waste of time.

But... being loved is such a good feeling to have. Like a different type of love outside of family.

I would do anything for a good morning text or a handwritten letter.

Actually, i don't need no man. I can write myself a letter and sign it anonymous or secret admirer. Women can do whatever they want. Men.. boo. Women... yay.

Us women have to stand our grounds.

The more i think about it.. i may be going insane. Just a tad.

Don't tell my therapist i said that.

Day 2.

I'm so glad i don't have to balance school and acting anymore. That was not ideal. Now i can deal with myself and acting. Not much of a difference, but my mom birth me like this.

"Dior, that was amazing," i exclaimed, walking beside her.

She just had finished her scene when she was fighting with walker aka percy.

"awww, thanks! That was the most active i'm gonna get," she takes a sip from her water bottle.

"You really shook walker's boots. I saw it in his eyes," i laugh.

"I wasn't even supposed to scream that loud," she laughs.

"Guys, when we wrap this all up we're going to a small restaurant after this," leah says coming up to us.

"oh, cool! What restaurant," i ask.

"Some place called like.. Gerry's something," she does a small thinking face.

"ohhh.. geritvosha's corner," i snap my finger when i realized what she was talking about.

"geri- who," dior questions.

"geritvosha. He's a nice man," i smile.

It means lucky in german. That's what the owner told me.

But i actually don't know if it does cause he's not even german. Nor it was after a human. Fun fact: it's named after the owner's dog.

Which died.

RIP Geri. He was a cutie.

But how would i know that. I've never met the dog. Or seen him.

"Hey, Percy! I came here to wish you luck on your quest! Take care of annabeth and grover for me. But let's be honest, annabeth will be the one who's taking care of you guys," i smile at walker.

"Percy, i got you-"

Charlie's line gets cut when he looks at me.

"Didn't see you there, diana. But here percy. I got you something for the way," he hands walker the box.

He sits next to him and waits for him to open it.

"well these are.. interesting," he says trying to be nice.

It was a pair of dirty red high tops.

"Luke... i think you're a really bad going away gifter," i say looking at him.

"Ha. Ha. very funny. That doesn't even make sense," charlie says while picking up the one shoe.

...

"maia," he says to the shoe.

Nothing happens, but we pretend it does for the show. In reality, they lift the laces with invisible wires.

"they are interesting," walker says amazed.

"i guess i take it back, luke," i say in awe with the shoe wings.

...

...

"CUT"

₊ ⊹ ⟡

I was packing my stuff up because filming is over and i'm about to lose my voice. I screamed too loud and apparently wrong. I'm surprised i'm now just losing it.

ding

I get a buzzing notification indicating i got a text. I look at my lock screen.

dior🙂
I sent you the address! In case you didn't know where it was! Charlie and I are making our way there as soon as we get done with something

I liked the message and put my phone away.

I need to go to the restroom. I wonder where it is.

₊ ⊹ ⟡

I miss this place.

My mom and original sperm dad took me here every year for my birthday.

Back to when times were simpler.

Growing up is kind of freaky to think about. I wonder if i'll be too old to act one day. I can't stop now. I'll be broke if i don't. I never had a working experience outside of acting before. I don't even know how to do taxes. And i'm still in the middle of trying to be world leader. The good kind... but powerful for sure. Then there's having a family. However, that comes after the fact i get married and marriage is tough. Not for the weak. I would totally ask my mom or dad about what they thought of marriage, but look at them now.

I walk myself into the restaurant and look around to see any of my lovely castmates soon to be besties.

I spot aryan with leah and walker in the corner table.

I go and tell the front person i was with them and she walked me there.

If she were a man i would've walked myself.

I smile and thank the lady.

"Hey! When did you guys get here," i greet

"Hey, stormi! We've only been here for ten minutes. Deciding what to order is kind of hard," aryan smiles.

I take a seat on the other side from them.

"You haven't filmed in so long, i'm glad to see you get back into it," leah says to me.

"i'm glad too. Senior year was getting to me, so i took a pause," i smile.

I pick up a menu folder and look through it. To be honest, i already checked the menu online. If i didn't i would've sat here for at least thirty minutes deciding what to choose. I'm so bad at choosing. I hope we're just choosing as a group.

"Yooo," dior announces herself.

Charlie walks beside her.

"heyyy," leah smiles at them.

Charlie was about to take a seat not next to me. Which was expected.

"Nope, i'm sitting here," dior slightly shoves charlie into the next seat over. Which was next to mine.

Life is so funny. And clearly on my side. Cause he is wowzerrrr.

"bro what," charlie says.

Dior just laughs and ignore him.

"so what are we getting," walker speaks up.

"we should get pizza for all of us," leah exclaims.

"i'm kinda feeling sushi," dior thinks for a bit.

"or burgers...," charlie jumps in.

"oh yeah! Sushi sounds nice," aryan says.

"sushi it is," walker smiles.

oh crap. should i risk my life and eat the sushi that is mainly fish or tell them and make things awkward.

"yum, sushi! That sounds delicious," i exclaim.

The waiter had came and taken our orders. We did a big plate with various of sushi on them. I chose one without fish.

₊ ⊹ ⟡

Sushi is so good.

Everyone was chattering and in the middle of ordering other lovely friends came like andrew and Olivea.

I grab a piece of sushi with the chopsticks. God, these sticks are horrendous. Chopsticks and me aren't close.

My throat is feeling funny. I look at the part that wasn't bitten and see i ate the wrong sushi without noticing.

I think this my cue to leave.

"uhh.. i'm gonna go now! It was nice spending some time with you guys," i force a smile as my voice croaks.

I was only there for a good hour, hopefully that was still enough time to be considered friends.

They all said their goodbyes as i leave.

₊ ⊹ ⟡

boom.

epipen is my life saver for real.

I hate sleeping after i just ate. I can't believe that i got pulled over, but they let me go after the fact i told them i was having an allergic reaction.

They guided me home.

only time ill let a man do that for me.

i need a good sleep after this night.

I eventually pass out into a deep sleep with my phone still on.
