❝Big News❞
My heart was pounding as the call ended. I couldn't believe what I had heard.
I had landed the roll of Michelle in the new 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' movie.
I suddenly became a giddy child again as I placed the land line down and paced quickly through my empty apartment.
I picked up my phone from my bedside table and began to dial my most used number. Josh.
The line rang for a while until the sweet voice of a well known friend picked up.
"Z? It's eight o'clock is everything alright?" He said sarcastically. He knew I never woke this early.
"Well, apart from the fact I just landed a role in the new Spider-Man movie, yeah I'm great" I chuckled behind the line.
There was silence for a moment and I began to wonder whether or not he had heard me right, until I heard the painful screech.
"Oh my god queen you roll!!" He yelled down the phone, sending me into a small roll of laughter.
"Get your ass around my place we're celebrating!" I smiled to myself. There was yet another silence on the line.
"Josh?"
"Yeah, Uh, Z I can't do tonight.." he said a little sheepish.
"What? Friday nights our night what are you talking about?" I said a little hurt.
I heard him sigh. "Well, me and Camilla were kinda set up on a date.. Sooo-"
"Oh you mean the chick that's been worshipping the ground you walk on since like fifth grade" I giggled.
"Hey just wish me some luck, ok" I could feel him smiling.
"Good luck, doofis" I smiled. Without a goodbye, the call had ended. It didn't hurt me as much as expected, Josh had been missing our Friday night hang out sessions for a couple of weeks now. I kinda had the feeling we were growing apart.
I placed my phone down gently on the bed and opened my closet to get changed.

It's been exactly two hours since the call and already names were swarming around the papers.
I saw my own name, but I also saw Toms too. I knew Tom Holland vaguely, we'd met maybe once or twice at small conventions, but this was kicking off both our careers.
I had a message from the producer, saying that we had a meeting in a day or two in London, Toms home town.
I had already started packing out of excitement.
To kill some time of the day, I headed down the star bucks to get my usual coffee and I had already been swarmed by cameras and photographers.
I'd had this before, vaguely, but not this bad. I couldn't imagine what this was gonna be like for Tom.
I rushed inside, leaning against the door as I entered, catching my breath before heading to the counter.
"Hey can I take you- Oh my gosh your Zendaya!" The woman at the counter top almost yelled through the cafe.
I could feel all eyes burning into my back as I stood there in embarrassment. I rolled my eyes quickly, darting our of the cafe before anyone could grab me.
I loved my 'job', but boy was it a lot to handle. I pulled my coat across my waist and quickly paced down the street. If I couldn't get star bucks, then there was one other place I could go.
I rounded the corner and quickly headed into the small corner shop, 'Louses'. The shop looked empty for a moment, until the small lady I knew came to the counter.
"Ah, my favourite customer! What can I get you my dear?" She smiled. Everything about her could brighten anyone's day.
"My usual, please" I smiled. She nodded gently and walked back into the kitchen.
I took a seat at one of he small tables in the corner of the shop and opened my phone to take a look on Instagram.
It was normal I had messages and notifications from a friends, but when I opened my phone I got something slightly different.
'TomHolland2013 wants to send you a message'
I shrugged and unlocked the notification which sent me straight to Instagram.
"Hey, Zendaya, it's Tom. Heard we were working together and just wanted to say hey 👋"
