Chapter 1: Someone Like You

Loren

Phil Sanders slowly forced all his body weight against me, pressing me against the wall.

"Not now," I laughed, as I managed to get away from his grasp. We were at Eddie Duran's music video rehearsal, and he had forced me into the supply closet.

Phil is my boyfriend and today is our second anniversary. We've been dating since the tenth grade, and have only broken up once between. I love him dearly, because he inspired me to write music. Music and Eddie Duran are my second love, maybe even first. As much as I wouldn't admit it, I love Eddie Duran. We exchanged lyrics on twitter, but its better Phil doesn't know about that.

"Why not?" he asked innocently. "Hey, I'm just as upset that you would rather hang out here then spend a day only with me."

"Phil, you know this is my dream." I tried not to sound to exasperated. Sometimes he can be so thoughtless.

"I know," he shrugged. "But sometimes I think you would blow me off for Eddie Duran everyday."

"Of course I wouldn't. I would hang out with you any day," I lied smoothly. I pulled him in for a kiss, which turned into a make out session. Just then, the door slammed open, and I heard two familiar voices. Praying this wasn't happening, I forced myself away from Phil.

Eddie

I was talking to Melissa Sanders, and her interest in becoming a director. I smiled to myself, because her and Loren were really great friends. We heard giggling from the supply closet which is weird, so Melissa slammed the door open. There, in close embrace, was Loren and her boyfriend. I frowned. Something about this Phil guy doesn't sit well with me. He seemed like he was always up to something. Melissa cleared her throat loudly, and they jumped apart.

"Hey Eddie. Mel," Loren said, blushing. I smiled, because she was so adorable when she blushed.

"I'll just go wait in the car then," Phil said awkwardly. He leaned in to kiss Loren, but she pulled away. On the contrary, she looked a little annoyed.

"Not now." Phil shrugged and made his way over to the door. He glared at me, as if this was my fault.

"I loved the dance," Loren continued, ignoring Phil's absence. "The choreographer is really good."

"Yeah, he's been my dance teacher forever. Those moves do not come naturally," I grinned, to tell her that what had happened before was all good. She sighed relief, and continued the conversation. Melissa seemed to be editing some video footage, and there was some time, so I motioned for them to follow me outside.

Phil

I hate Eddie Duran. He thinks he's so cool, but in reality just an everyday jerk. I hoped Loren had gotten my hint about meeting in the car; but then thinking that Eddie was just holding her up, I sent her a text.

Babe, I'm going home. Lets meet at the café around...6? Love you.

I really did like Loren. She was nice, but she was also on her way to becoming famous. I needed money, and Loren was how I was going to get it.

I sped through the highways, lost in thought. Eddie Duran was a distraction when it came to Loren. I would have to make sure Loren didn't like him. Smiling to myself, I dialed the number of someone I knew would be more than glad to help me.

Chloe

Where did Eddie go? I hoped he wasnt with that valley girl, Loveto-Love-You. Rolling my eyes, I caught sight of Tyler Rorke.

"Tyler, what are you doing here?" I whispered, annoyed, looking around.

"I'm here to see Loren Tate."

"Please you don't even know her. This is just a lame move to get close to Eddie...or me!"

"Nope, I really do know her. Why do you care anyways?" he asked, grinning.

"I don't," I scoffed. Tyler did really get on my nerves sometimes.

"Really?" he asked, leaning in. I knew this was risky, especially if Eddie saw Tyler: Eddie hated Tyler. But I did not want Tyler talking to that valley girl. I kissed him back. Big mistake.

Adriana

I was doing my hair when Phil's phone call came. Surprised, I picked it up.

"Hello?" I asked. Why didn't he just talk to that stupid girlfriend of his, Loren Tate. Phil explained a plan to me, a plan to make Eddie Duran look like a stuck-up guy in front of Loren.

"Look, I don't really care about Loren's love life."

"But I like you...a lot. And I want to get to know you," Phil said sincerely. I bit my lip, I mean I did have bigger things to worry about than Loren's love life...didn't I?

"I'll call you back," I hung up. Why did I feel like something was going to go wrong in this plan?

Max

"Hey Nora!" I greeted Loren's mother as she walked into MK.

"Hi, Max. Is Loren around?" she asked."I really don't want her to take off with that boy, Phil."

"Yeah, she's probably around here somewhere," I smiled. "There's a lot of the video left. Why don't you let Eddie drop her home? I'll make sure she goes straight home."

"I'm sure you will," she said generously."Okay, because I am on my lunch break." Before she could go on, we were interrupted by Daphne Miller.

"Max?" she asked. "Oh, hi." She had noticed Nora.

"Hi, I'm Nora," she introduced herself. Daphne seemed a little upset by her presence, and I knew Nora could tell.

"Daphne." Daphne didn't take her eyes off me, which kind of creeped me out.

"I'll just go then," Nora said hurriedly. She grabbed her purse, but I stopped her.

"No, come on, you just got here. Get a drink at least." If looks could kill, Nora and I would both be dead, because Daphne was glaring at us so hard.

"Um," Nora started to make an excuse, but I held her down.

"I want you to stay."

So this is my second fanfic. This one will be updated a lot more, because I've written this one for a long time. I'll just have to find time to type. Please tell me which one of my fanfics you like more...or just review please!
