melanie smiled as she set her phone down on the table. she had hoped he hadn't noticed her smile, but he did.

"what are you smiling at?" brandon asked, in a teasing manner.

"dylan just asked if i would go on tour with them." melanie lowered her voice and leaned closer to the table because she didn't want anyone to hear their conversation.

"that's really cool. you gonna do it?" brandon asked, sipping his water. melanie shrugged before responding with an 'i don't know.'

they caught up for a bit before deciding to be nice and see if the rest of the cast wanted to do something the next week. melanie made a mental note to see if she could take the day off from filming. lisa had texted her to tell her filming was starting as soon as possible, so she was off to north carolina in a few days.

@madeleinemcgraw would like to send you a dm!

melanie was sitting in her room on the floor while she was on the phone with scarlett. she was packing her clothes, getting ready to go to north carolina. since she didn't know how long she was gonna be there, she shoved as much of her closet as she could into her suitcase.

she was able to bring three suitcases but she still didn't feel like that was enough.

"i know i need to do this role i just don't wanna leave you and malachi." melanie complained, as she struggled to zip the suitcase.

"it'll be okay mel. it's only for a few months." scarlett was also melanie's best friend. she loved her more than anything. they met through malachi when they were younger and they've been inseparable since. melanie liked having a best friend other than her brother that she could talk to about anything and everything. she liked being able to talk to scarlett about paparazzi or something and she knew that scarlett would understand exactly what she was saying.

"plus we can always come visit you, and wouldn't it be nice to have castmates that are actually your age?" scarlett smiled, which convinced melanie that everything would be okay.

"i guess you're right." melanie sighed, lifting up her suitcase and leaning it against her wall.

melanie invited scarlett to sleepover. she wanted to see her as much as she could before she left, but she also wanted to spend time with malachi. so the three of them were sitting in melanie's room watching a movie and eating popcorn.

it was a few days later, and it was the first table read. melanie and her mom were getting out of the car when melanie saw madeleine and her mom walking into the studio. melanie smiled to herself and rushed to close the car door.

"madeleine!" melanie yelled, just as maddy was about to reach the door. maddy and her mom turned around, and she smiled once she saw it was melanie. maddy stopped walking and waited for melanie. once she got close enough they hugged.

"how are you?" melanie giggled since her and maddy were swaying.

"i'm good! what about you?" maddy asked, pulling away from the hug.

"i'm good, nervous but in a good way." melanie explained, but maddy knew exactly what she meant cause she felt the exact same way. they both decided it was time to meet the rest of the cast, so they walked into the studio.
