My heart is pounding and I wish I hadn’t noticed how nicely Spencer’s T-shirt fits and his stupidly perfect
jawline. But I can’t stop the buzz that goes through me when I see to him.
    I head into the uni building to find the hot water urn, waving at people in the crew I’ve already got to know. The location manager, Nina, and her assistants are all really nice.
    I take ages to find my pass in my bag and the security guy – Ron – does the joke he’s done every morning where he pretends to not know who I am.
    I’m in such a happy, skippy mood when I start doing the coffee that I turn the knob with a bit too much enthusiasm and hot water spills out onto the floor. Just at that moment, Spencer
appears at the door of the canteen.
    ‘People are wondering where their coffee is— Whoa!’
    He comes strolling in and is now looking at the massive puddle by his feet.
    I look up from my search for a mop. ‘Do
not
tell anyone about this.’
    ‘Oh, don’t worry, it’s my fault. I must have startled you.’ He barely suppresses a grin.
    But he starts making coffees from my list while I find a mop and start clearing up the water. It is possible I am just sweeping it to the sides of the room so we’ll just have to hope that
no one hangs out by the wall.
    Then someone else pops their head through the door.
    ‘I think they pay people to do that, Spence?’
    It’s Heidi, who plays geeky Jas. She’s wearing little shorts and braces with a band T-shirt and definitely looks cool, even though she’s described as a misfit in her profile on
the website. She’s holding her glasses between her finger and thumb, looking intently at him.
    All I can think is,
Why she is calling him Spence?
I’ll Spence her.
    ‘I’ve just been called,’ she continues. ‘Do you want to see my scene?’
    He turns quickly towards her just as he puts a cup down and the coffee spills over his fingers. ‘Sure!’ he says, his voice catching slightly as he must have scalded himself a bit. He
sucks the hot coffee off his fingers. ‘Are you all right here, Gabi?’ His words are muffled by his hand.
    ‘Oh yeah, fine!’ I say, jamming my mop into the bucket a little bit too forcefully.
    ‘Tell you what, I’ll take some of the drinks out.’
    I smile my thanks, and as we catch each other’s eye, it feels like the air crackles between us.
    Heidi is inspecting her nails and breathes out impatiently.
    ‘So I’ll see you later?’ he says to me, a smile still at the corners of his mouth.
    I hand out the rest of the coffees, and end up back at the make-up trailers in time to see the second scene of the day. About a million people touch up Johnny Green’s
hair before his first appearance, even though he’s going to be riding a bike so it will get messed up anyway. They are filming the opening of episode two, because episode one is set in the
Christmas holidays and they all go off to Paris for New Year’s. They are shooting that at the end of the summer after getting all the uni scenes filmed. I won’t get to go as my
internship will have finished by then, but I have already been to Paris.
    Paris was awesome.
    I yawn, then realise that one of the sound guys is watching me.
    ‘You’ll have to get used to this!’ he laughs. He explains that because series two is set in the second term of uni, which starts in January, all the outside scenes have to be
filmed really early in the morning so it doesn’t look too sunny.
    Harry’s bike ride is filmed once by the camera on the crane, and then again with a camera next to him on a scooter, and then again with a camera fixed to his handlebars. It’s so
weird seeing him when they aren’t filming and he’s just standing around with his arms folded and looking at his feet. Then, when the cameras roll, he’s all full of energy and
confidence and Harryness. The scene is supposed to be Harry racing to get to a hearing at uni where they are deciding whether to throw him out for plagiarising in one of
