The Challenge

"Hi mom, dad," I greeted walking down the stairs.

"Elizabeth," my mother smiled overly happy.

"What's happening?" I asked sighing knowing that I was about to receive either bad news or a daunting task.

"Your grandparents are coming in to town," my dad said taking in a deep breath.

"I'm assuming since you're mentioning to me that they are yours dad and not my normal grandparents on mom's side?"

"Correct Elizabeth," he nodded still trying to smile. "Have a great day at work," he said smiling.

I sighed as I ran my fingers threw my not yet styled hair. "Ok so why the unusual amount of nerves?"

"We told them you had a boyfriend," my mom confessed. I stared at them "it's what they expected of a well-studied future marine biologist with high ambitions."

I shook my head "how long have we been dating?"

"Nine months," she said.

"What does he do?"

"Unestablished."

"Anything special?"

"You two have amazing chemistry and love to spend almost all hours together."

I shook my head "I'll find someone and get him to agree. How long are they staying?"

"A month," my mother bit her lip.

"You don't like making this easy for me do you?"

"Also you two are supposed to pick them up from the airport together tonight at midnight," my dad added. "Oh and we love you baby."

I snorted "I know, I know. I'll call you when I know who is taking on my acting challenge. I have an idea who it might be but I'll call." I left my house and arrived on set half an hour later.

"Hey look who finally showed up!" Victoria said pointing towards the door where I entered.

"Ya sorry I'm like 30 seconds late," I said rushing to Ariana who I hugged tightly. I made my way around Victoria being my last hug.

"How have you been?" Victoria asked smiling at me.

"I'm fine just a little stressful at home," I said. "How are you Vic?" I asked before I was asked to elaborate.

"Oh I've been good Avan and I have been texting like crazy recently. He kept me up until 2 last night," she said smiling.

"Ok guys and girls let's start at one!" Dan yelled walking in.

Avan and I scrambled to our spot by the lockers where we were to make-out like love struck idiots then talk about nothing really. We made-out and he kept me close both of us playing our parts well.

"Hey," I whispered when we were supposed to talk in the background. "I kinda need a favor."

"Sure what's up," he asked pulling me close. He would make the perfect boyfriend.

"My parents invited my grandparents over, or maybe they invited themselves that's unclear. Anyways they told them I had a boyfriend and well I don't. But they need me to bring a friend or something and pretend that we've been dating."

Avan quirked an eyebrow at me but before he could answer Victoria came up to us and we were now involved in the scene.

After the scene was finished and Dan yelled "CUT!" everyone was allowed to run off and do whatever they wanted. Avan was talking to Victoria who was laying the charm on so thick that I could scrape it off with a wall scraper.

Ariana came up to me and hugged me "hi," she said.

"Hey Ariana," I smiled kindly back.

"So Victoria said you were having family issues?" Ariana said.

I groaned "she's such a gossip. I mean I would totally have told you but Dan doesn't need to know, Eric doesn't need to know, it's frustrating."

"I totally get it," Ariana nodded "but what is wrong Liz?"

"My grandparents are coming over tonight."

"Oh Liz!" Ariana hugged me tightly "I'm sorry I'm sure it won't be too bad though right?"

"That depends on if Avan will help me."

"Help you with what?" Ariana pulled away excited.

"My parents told my grandparents that I had a boyfriend of nine months."

"You didn't tell me!" Ariana yelled then thought for a moment "o that's why you need Avan. Ok I forgive you," she smiled. I shook my head at her laughing.

"Hey Liz," I felt two arms wrap around my waist and I leaned back onto the strong chest.

"Hey Avan," I said smiling up at him. "Do you need some help peeling all that off?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" Avan asked looking down at himself.

"You know all that flirt Victoria just laid on you," Ariana and I laughed and Avan shook his head.

"If you still want my help Miss Gilles I'd be happy to assist you."

"Great," I said hugging him. "We start tonight we're picking them up from the airport, we've been dating nine months, we love spending time together, and most importantly I am not an actress."

"I'll study my lines," Avan chuckled.
