today is the day, the day everything happens all at once. i wasn't really sure how to feel, after all this was my first 'fake relationship' so how do i even make that believable? do i pretend it's real? but then what if it actually becomes real?

don't be stupid, it will never be real.

i woke up bright and early to start off with some manifestation, i don't want anything to change between me and shawn so i make sure to write that down.

i also wrote down that my album and tour will sell out, but i'm not sure if i have faith in that one, i mean i am just an up and coming artist after all, as much as my one song blew up i don't think many people are going to be fans from the get-go.

my phone starts buzzing and i see that it's ally.

"are you excited?!" she shouts down the phone, clearly her dad must've left for work because if she was shouting down the phone at this time she would not still be speaking, i can guarantee you that.

"hey to you too, and yes i am." i say softly with a smile. "if you mean that today is my interview with someone big and also my album is coming out in three weeks." i tell her, i knew what she wanted me to say, but i wasn't going to give her the satisfaction of letting her bear it, i can hear her sigh down the phone.

"no i meant are you excited to become media official with shawn?!" she says again, loudly and i laugh, i knew this is what she meant.

"i mean sure, i guess." i mumble, she cheers.

"i'll take it!"

"ok ok i have to go and start getting ready, i'll talk to you later, yeah? love you." i hang up the phone and get out of bed, my phone buzzes.

ally
u better dress nice !

me
what do i wear then?

ally
how about a charcoal grey oversized sweater and those light grey thigh highs?

me
sure!

i pick out the clothes ally suggested and place them on my bed before going to the bathroom to get ready for the day. i take a quick shower and then get dressed, i tie my hair back into a slicked back ponytail leaving a section out but placing it behind my ear, i then do my makeup, since i'm going on television it has to look good so i do a full face but try to make it look as natural as i can.

i really wasn't the kind of person that loved a full face of makeup, i'd much rather prefer it to either look natural or go bare faced.

my phone buzzes again and i thought it was ally but in fact it was actually juliana, i answer the phone, "hello?"

"oh you're awake, good. drew will be coming to pick you up in about half an hour for your corden interview, ok?" she reminds me, i think she's stressing again.
