The California sun streamed down on the residents of the Palmwoods. A scream of glee rang out through the aparmtent building of the "Future Famous" as the method actress Camille ran through the lobby, squealing in delight. "Tierney!". The brunette threw her arms around her best friend, jumping up and down and giggling in happiness. As the two pulled away from their embrace, Tierney Hart smiled as she gently brushed her sideswept bangs from her eye. "Camille! I've missed you so much!" Tierney squealed, pulling Camille in for another hug.

"Come on, Tier. I'll show you our aparment." Camille took one of Tierney's duffel bags and led the shorter teen to the elevator. As Camille pressed the upward facing arrow button, a girl with dirty blonde waves passed, waving to Camille and stopping. "Hi Camille! Who's this?" she asked, gesturing to Tierney. "This is Tierney Hart, my best friend from Connecticut." Camille smiled, "Tierney, this is Jo Taylor." Tierney smiled and waved, "I've seen you on New Town High! I absolutely love that show!". The two exchanged smiles and Camille grinned to herself, satisfied that her best friend from L.A and her best friend from home were getting along.

"Well, we better get going. Tierney needs to unpack." Camille offered a final wave to Jo as she grabbed Tierney's duffel bag and entered the elevator. "She seems nice." Tierney noted, turning to Camille. She nodded in agreement and smiled, "She is!".

The elevator dinged and the doors opened, revealing a cream colored hallway. Camille led Tierney down the hall, sliding her key in the hole, and opening the door. "This place is awesome!" Tierney exclaimed.

After showing Tierney to her room and unpacking, Camille and Tierney made their way down to the lobby.

Teenagers passed and shared friendly waves and greetings to Camille. "That's Guitar Dude, TJ, and Jett Stetson. That's Wally Dooly, and that's Stephanie." Camille gestured to each person as she lifted off their names, even recieving a wave from Guitar Dude. "Wow, Cam. You know a ton of people." Tierney smiled as she sat across from Camille in one of the small poolside tents. Camille shrugged and smiled.

"Hey, Camille." Both girls turned at the voice, Camille smiling and curiousity filling Tierney's sea green eyes. "Oh, hey! James, this is my best friend back from Connecticut, Tierney Hart." Camille exclaimed. As James' hazel eyes fell on Tierney, a light smirk placed itself on his lips. "Hello there, I'm James Diamond. I'm in a band." James flashed a million dollar smile as he took Tierney's hand in his, kissing it gently.

Tierney giggled nervously as she felt her cheeks begin to glow a suddel pink. Slowly, she took her hand back, trying her hardest not to cock and eyebrow at the sudden gesture of affection. "Nice to meet you." Tierney sweetly smiled at James, taking in his features. Simply looking at him, Tierney could already tell that no matter where James was, he would always be classified as the pretty boy.

"You guys talk, I'm just going to get a smoothie. I'll be right back" Camille stood up and began towards the lobby. James quickly took the seat across from Tierney, slyly smiling at her. "So you and Camille are best friends?" James asked, leaning on his elbow to get closer to Tierney. She nodded, smiling, "We met in third grade." "Do you have a boyfriend?" he asked. Tierney cocked an eyebrow, slowly shaking her head 'no'.

Smiling, James leaned closer. "You have plans this friday?". Blushing a scarlett red, Tierney shrugged " I don't know, I'll probably still be un-packing and all". James nodded and smiled, "So is that a maybe?". After quickly pondering the thought in her head, Tierney smiled. "It's a posibility".

As Tierney and Camille returned to their apartmtent, Camille grabbed a bottled water from the fridge and plopped down on the cream colored couch. "So, what did you and James talk about?" Camille asked, taking a sip of her water. "He asked me out." Tierney hesitantly replied, winching as Camille began to choke on her water. Tierney's eyes widened as she grabbed an apple from the counter. "Is that bad?" she asked, leaning against the counter and taking a bite of her apple.

Once Camille had finally regained ability to speak, she spun around the face Tierney. "Tier, roughly, James has dated every girl here." Tierney cocked an eyebrow in question, "Really?". Camille slowly nodded and Tierney's eyes softened, "Oh". "I'm sorry, T." Camille sighed, eyes gentle at the sight of her dazed over friend. "It's fine." Tierney shrugged "... I just got here anyway."

Her slightly encouraging statement brought a smile once again to Camille's face. "Come on, T. Let's go see my dad, I bet he's been dying to see you again." Tierney nodded in agreement and smiled as she followed Camille to her father's bedroom.
