Milani POV
Third Person
"Aaand CUT!"
Milani immediately jumped away from the caravan. What was she doing? She wasn't even thinking when she touched her knee to Nova's. And once she looked into Nova's eyes she physically couldn't look away.
The rest of the rehearsals were for the rest of the cast so she spoke to a few of the AV crew before leaving as fast as she could.
She gets home to find Sara in her room scrolling on her phone. She looks up when she sees Milani come through the door.
"Hey how was work?"
"Good," She sees Sara goes back to typing on her phone, then backspacing. "Who ya texting?"
Sara looks up at Milani again with wide eyes. "Oh uh, Nova." Milani froze. Oh. What? Was Nova still texting her?
"What are you guys texting about?" She asks as casually as she could while jumping on her bed next to her.
"Well nothing actually, I'm trying to text her but I have no idea what to say. She hasn't spoken to me since I left her at the party while we were kissing."
Milani felt a burn of jealousy at the mention of the kiss, which of course she shoved so deep down she'll shit it out on Christmas morning.
"Alright how's this?" Sara showed Milani her screen with a simple message drafted.
"Uh yeah sure send it."
Milani was distracted. She couldn't tell anyone about how she feels about Nova. Aside from her diary of course.
Sara continues texting, though Milani doesn't notice. All she can think about was the moment with Nova. She could've sworn Nova was looking at her the same way.
"Omg look she responded."
Sara's voice broke her thoughts. She looks over to her screen to see a whole conversation.

SuperNova

Sara_Sopht
My parents noticed the broken vase. I'm grounded. I can only go to milani's house :((
SuperNova
Oh. R u there rn? Also shit yeah i get it you've been busy.
I really missed you though :)
"She's being understanding of why we haven't texted. Honestly I haven't met someone like her. uh, are you okay with us maybe being a thing?"
Milani looks from the screen back to Sara. She just stares at Sara, unable to process them 'being a thing.'
"Cuz honestly, I think it's okay if you're not. I've been friends with you since the beginning of time, and while I've been clear about how stupid your rivalry is, I'm always going to choose you over anything."
That relieved Milani.
"You mean that? Goddamn it I love you, Sara."
Sara laughed and cuddled into Milani. "I love you too cunt."

The next day they met again at their filming set and Nova decided to get back at Milani. This meant acting like the moves Milani was making was working. Which wouldn't really be acting because it was working. But Nova won't think about that.
Before Nova could do that though, Milani grabbed her arm and dragged her near the writers room, away from the filming set.
"End whatever relationship you have with Sara."
"What?"
Milani looked more than angry. She was fuming.
"Yeah I think not." Nova was fine with not talking to Sara, but it felt so good seeing Milani as mad as she was.
"You can't keep leading her on. She is so massively out of your league."
"Try and stop me." Nova smirked and tried to walk away, but didn't get far before she was pulled and slammed into a wall.
"I'm so fucking serious Astrid."
Both girls couldn't help but notice how natural their fight felt. It was almost...nice.
Nova was ready to get physical, and rolled up her sleeves to throw a punch, when the writers room opened and Matt Davison stepped out.
And he looked mad.
