?Paris Myers?
“Good luck, you two”. Aunt Jenny said as we got out of the car.
I wave at her good bye before turning to the direction of the industry. Tiffany went on walking straight acting like we didn’t just come out from the same car.
We got to the industry and showed the guards by the door our I.D before they let us in.
I stop seeing most of the contestants already lurking around the lobby waiting.
Tiffany strode forward with the self assured grace of a lioness as everyone, like literally, everyone in the lobby all noticed her presence.
I watch as she glance casually around the room with her blonde hair swiftly making a perfect hair flip making her look alluring.
Wow! I guess thats why Jeremy fell for her.
“I wish my hair would do that naturally just like hers did”. Whispered a nervous looking girl to her friend.
I’m pretty sure the soft blonde curls that were tumbled around Tiffany’s face was as a result of her fighting with the curling iron.
Then two tall girls walked into the lobby making Tiffany smile as she went over to them with her red gown trailing behind her.
“Hey you!”.
I turn around hearing that familiar voice and smile seeing Logan. “Hi”.
“Wow! I love your dress. And your legs as well. Tanned, right?”.
I look down at myself realizing that I had actually worn a flare gown instead of my usual signature purple hoodie.
“Ooh! OMG! Andrea is here!”. Logan said excitedly.
I look forward to see a girl of maybe, our age dressed in a red designers jumpsuit with four bodyguards trailing behind her.
“Who’s Andrea?”.
Logan scoffed looking at me. “Wait. Did you just ask me that question? Who is Andrea?”.
“Yeah?”.
“How can you not know Andrea?!!”. She half yelled. “What the h.eck?!”.
“Is she some kind of actress?”.
“No, silly. Andrea is a singer, she sings pop and girl songs and she’s based in New York City too just like Jayden Roy”.
“Oh”.
“And rumors has it that she once tried to se.duce Jayden Roy into becoming hers but she never did. Instead, Jayden Roy fell in love with a girl named Jessamyn”.
“Jessamyn as in Samyn?”.
Logan nodded. “Yeah! Cute, right?”.
“So thats why he wrote that song about her. Crazy Beautiful You, the song is all about Samyn”.
“Yep but I kind of feel for Andrea. She loved him but he was never hers”.
I shrug. “Maybe they were not meant to be. And besides, she’s way hot. She can find another guy if she wants”.
“Do you know Andrea is my role model, my goddess and my angel?”.
I chuckled lightly. “No. I did not know that”.
“Okay, so Andrea is twenty years old and should I say that, to me, she’s the most popular singer and dancer in the world”. Logan exaggerated. “Her voice is like that of an angel, her beauty is way extraordinary”.
“Its obvious”. I mutter staring at Andrea shining skin as she signed autographs.
“And her body is what men would die for”. Logan continued. “She’s the best, she’s awesome and I love her. Her music makes my day and I totally love all her videos”.
“She’s signed to AZ entertainment industry, right?”. I asked.
“Yep! To me, Andrea is a goddess and I am her biggest fan. I got the passion to be a singer and dancer just like her”.
“Wow”. I breathed out after listening to her. “Seems like you really like her. She is signing autographs. Won’t you go?”.
“I have tons of her autographs with me, Paris. Like I said, I’m her biggest fan”.
I heard short screams and turned away from Logan to see Violet walking in the lobby.
I frown on seeing her and then suddenly remembered back in school when she had stopped me after class just because she wanted to talk to me.
And she ended up saying stupid things like I should stay away Xavier. She really sounded insecure that day.
“That smile plastered on her face is way fake”. Logan said to me.
I look at her. “You noticed that?”.
“Why won’t I? Violet Summers is way so very annoying and I hate the way she pretend to be nice to her fans in front of paparazzi and all that. And in my head, I’m like, bitch, we know you are faking it so you can stop already”.
“Wow! You sound like you know her”.
“I don’t. But people I know do. Violet goes to Berkeley High and there’s this one of my friends who goes there too, she says Violet is a pest, a bully, bossy, ruthless, dev1lish and more awful words to describe her selfish attitude. And so desperate and selfish”.
“She is desperate”. I mutter to myself remembering the ‘Xavier’ incident.
“And she’s the queen of pop over here in AZ Entertainment. She doesn’t like it when anyone takes her spot. She likes controlling workers here and they obey her just because of Xavier”.
“Because of Xavier?”.
“Yeah. Or don’t you know how close they are? They are best friends and she is the only female to get that close with him. She’s lucky to be with a cute hunk like him!”. Logan said dreamily.
“I wonder how she’s going to judge this competition!”.
“Yeah! Me too!. I only just hope we get through because I’m sure she’s going to be hard on everyone”.
“Hey!”. I turn to Logan again. “When is the stuff starting?”.
“I think everything will start in about an hour so”.
I glance at the watch on my wrist and realized that it was just an hour till the competition starts.
“I’m just asking because I feel nervous and I want to practice before facing any of the today judges”. I explain to her.
“Oh. But the guitars that will be made available to us are not here yet. So how are you going to practice?”.
I smile a little. “I’ll just use my voice”.
“Or you could go to one of their music rooms that they no longer use. I’ve read all of their handles and I know places in this industry”.
“Their old music room? Is it still effective? Like, are there instruments there?”.
“Yep!”. Logan brought out her phone tapping on something. “Wait!! Let me just show you directions”.
She took some seconds before showing me her phone. I memorize everything and thanked her before leaving.
I manage to move past all the girls who were clamoring for both Violet and that other singer, Andrea’s attention.
I headed straight for the stairs climbing upwards muttering the directions to myself.
After a minute or so, I arrived at the third floor and concluded this was the place because it wasn’t much filled with a lot of people like the last floor.
I glanced at each doors walking down a route quietly.
Jeez! I hope I don’t get lost or anything like that here!
I stop seeing a music studio and then another one. I walk to the first one and tried opening it but it wouldn’t budge.
Ugh! I really need to practice.
I decide to walk to the other one turning the knob it and opened the door wide just as someone walked out of the door right into me!.
“Whoa!”. I exclaim stumbling backwards into the wall behind me.
I blearily opened my eyes but found something blocking my view and gasp seeing it was Xavier.
There was also something on my lips and that was when it hit me!
Xavier’s lips are on mine!
He pulled away from me as if realizing that too. Almost immediately, he shifted away while I shakily touched my warm lips and felt it!
I just kssed Xavier Marion!
