James' POV:
There she was, down on the beach in the water, laughing at my best friend, Kendall, who just splashed her. Her hair was still dry, and she ran her fingers through it. The New Jersey state girl who I was falling for. Tan skin, brown hair, blue eyes. There's only one problem.
She hates me.
I mean, everybody thinks we hate each other, but I don't hate her. We just disagree a lot. She's gorgeous, down to earth, crazy talented, hilarious, and can fight. Everyone thinks I go for the slutty girls, the ones who only want sex, but I don't. Alex isn't anywhere close to being a slut. She doesn't think about sex, or what anyone thinks of her. She's proud of who she is, and that's why I like her. She doesn't need a guy to tell her she's pretty, she doesn't care. She just wants to have fun with her life, see where it takes her.
"James, what are you staring at?" Camille asked and startled me.
"Uh, nothing, just spacin' out." I said. I took off my shirt, and ran down to Alex. I picked her up, and through her over my shoulder.
"James Diamond, PUT ME DOWN!" She screamed, and pounded my back.
"Nope! Say I'm smarter than you." I said.
"Well, everyone knows that's not true!" She said, Kendall laughed.
"Say it!"
"Fine! You're smarter than me!" I put her down. "NOT!" I ran after her. I caught up to her at her beach blanket, and sat down. She took a drink of her Coke.
"So, how's life?" She asked.
"Hm, okay. Gustavo is making us do seven hour dance rehearsels tomorrow, obviously, you knew that. He was furious when he found out that you broke his chair..."
"God, why can't he just buy a new one? When he signed me to the label, he bragged, and bragged that he had so much money, he could buy the Atlantic Ocean. I don't think the Atlantic Ocean is up for sale, but I'm pretty sure that a desk chair costs, like, fifty bucks! Probably, less than that! Jeez, where can a girl get some relaxation any time soon?" She vented.
"I know. Hey, where's movie night at next week?" I asked.
"I think my house. I'm not sure." She took another drink of Coke. Surprisingly, we were getting along.
"Hey, how are you?" Some guy came up to Alex and asked. He winked at her.
"Well, I've been having a very nice day, thank you, but I'm not interested." She stated.
"Well, who are you interested in?" He asked her again.
"Hm, let me think, no one. So, could you kindly leave me alone?" She said. The guy left. I looked at her. She smiled her beautiful smile. "Do you like anyone?" She asked.
"Well, I like this one girl, but I don't think she likes me back. I mean, I guess I'm not her type. She's kinda sporty, and I'm kinda not..." She laughed.
"What's her name?" She interrogated.
"Um, I don't know her name. I think it startes with an A. She lives at the Palm Woods." She nodded.
"Cool. Um, I like this one guy, but, like you, he doesn't like me back. He's into fame and fortune, and I'm just in it for the music. It's my passion, you know? I've loved singing since I could, and I-I just..." She trailed off.
"Just what?" I asked.
"Just want him to like me back. Have you ever had that feeling? You know, you can't stop thinking about them, then you end up writing songs about them, but they're clueless. He's very handsome, he's not very bright, but can be when he tries." She dished. She got up, and held her hand out. "Wanna go get some lunch?" I grabbed her hand.
"I would love to." She pulled he off the blanket, took her cover up out of her bag, and put it on. I found my shirt, and we went to find some food. We finally agreed on a seafood place down on the street near the beach. After we were done eating, we went to some shops. We headed back to the Palm Woods. I went into 2J, and Logan, Kendall and Carlos were looking at me with a confused face.
"Dude, we thought you hated her!" Carlos exclaimed.
"Hated who?" I asked and sat down on the couch to a paused TV.
"Alex! Watch this." Kendall said, and unpaused the TV.
This just in, couples alert! James Diamond and Alex Hall were spotted getting lunch. The boy band hottie and the New Jersey singer later hit a couple shops on Sunset, then headed back to their appartment complex. We will have more on this story tomorrow.-
Kendall paused the TV.
"So, deets now!" Carlos said.
"I swear, you're like a fifteen year old girl sometimes. And, no, I just went to lunch with her, and spent some time with her. That's. All." I pushed past Kendall and went to my room.

Alexs' POV:
I sat on my couch, thinking about today. 'Could he like me?', I thought. 'No, he doesn't, he hates me. He was just being nice...' I came to that conclusion. I turned the TV on to E!, where a rerun of E! news was on.
This just in, couples alert! James Diamond and Alex Hall were spotted getting lunch. The boy band hottie and the New Jersey singer later hit a couple shops on Sunset, then headed back to their appartment-
Are. You. Fucking. Serious. When can I catch a break? I mean, why do these people have to know EVERYTHING you are doing? Uh, does James know about this? Does Gustavo know about this?( Why am I asking myself so many questions?) Okay, I'll text James.
'Hey, did you see E news today?'I texted, and soon enough he texted back.
'Yep, I know, annoying. At least we know nothing's going on.' I didn't text back. 'You there?' He texted.
'yeah, that was just as friends right?' I asked.
'Uh, yeah...'
'Kay, see ya tomorrow.' I texted.
'Yeah.'
I laid on my couch. Why can't he see? I mean, it obvious that I like him, isn't it?
So, please review! I need to know if I'm doing well, or if I shouldn't right more. :D
