Chapter 1 "Just An Idea"
The life of a pop star. Sounds fun doesn't it? Well I won't lie, it is. However it does get pretty hectic with all the recording sessions, music videos, interviews, and award shows. I barely have enough time for myself. The most I have is one day to hang out with friends and family.
Oh! I'm sorry how rude of me, I never introduced myself! My name is Yireh Perez...a little hard to pronounce I know, that's why people just call me Gigi. I am 17 years old and I have been singing ever since I was little. Want to know more about me? Yes? Huh well, lets see...I am a proud latin girl, my mother Liliana is Peruvian and my father Victor is Dominican (I'm pretty sure you don't want to hear about them haha), I have natural brown hair but I usually dye it every month (It is currently red), I am such a geek, I got discovered when I was 10 at my school's talent show, I'm a poet, I have only two best friends, School was rough on me because I usually get picked on, I don't like to be judged, I have my own style, and I am a rambler...if you didn't notice by now...I'm apologizing in advance. So i guess that's it about me.
*FLASH*
The camera can be blinding to anyones eyes, I'll never get used to this. The screaming of my name and the never ending questions...it just makes me want to yell, "I'M JUST GOING TO MY FRIENDS HOUSE! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Pfft talk about personal space.
"MOIRA!" I yelled as I was on the hunt for my friend in her ridiculously large house.
"IN HERE!" she yelled back.
In where? I thought. It took me a while but I finally found her in the den with my other best friend, Dominick. I love Dom, he's like a brother to me even if he is gay, we can talk about anything! It's a good thing I have Moira and Dom because with all the fame and all the tabloids, they keeps me sane. "Hey" they both greeted me in unison.
"Uh hi" I said with a fake smile.
"Honey what's wrong?" Leave it to Dom to see right through me.
"I'm just soo tired! These reporters were following me on my way here. I had to hold myself back from just slapping one in the face...or worse, make one bleed!" I said frantically.
"Ha! Do it next time I dare you!" Moira laughed "That would be a pretty sight" Dom said sarcastically.
"You know, I bet it would" I huffed as I sprawled myself on the couch. "I just wonder what it would be like to have a normal life again."
"Gigi, don't let them get to you, this is your dream I know you don't want this to end." Dom said
"Yeah...you're right. It was just a thought." I turned my attention to the window, not knowing how that thought was going to change my life.
I returned home that night, exausted from all the screaming, dancing and wildness that just happend at Moira's house.
"Hey, your home late" my mom pointed out.
"Yeah sorry 'bout that," I apologized with a sigh. "What do we have planned tomorrow?" Just the thought made me want to pass out on the floor and sleep for eternity. I could if i was a wizard and knew some spells...like Harry Potter! I mentally laughed.
"Well lets see," she started to look through the agenda. "You have an interview for MTV, then the rest of the day you have reahersal for your upcoming con- GIGI!" She yelled.
I woke up with a jolt and fell flat on the floor. "Huh what?" I said drowzily.
"I'M REPEATING MYSELF, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FELL ASLEEP!" Mother dearest had yelled.
"Yeah, yeah I'm irresponsible, I heard you interview and reahersal, got it."
"Good you lazy child" she laughed.
"Hey mom, I've been thinking" I started.
"Oh god, what is it this time?" she looked at me with that 'Girl, this better not be something stupid' look.
"Well, what if I didn't want to be in the piblic eye anymore?"
"What do you mean? Like forever?" she asked.
"No not all! I mean for like maybe a year or a couple of months" I mumbled.
"...Gigi this is your dream." she stated with that motherly tone.
I smiled "That's what Dom said...anyway I was just wondering would you let me go to another country where they don't know who I am?"
"Alone? Hell no, are you crazy?" she said placing her hands on her hips.
I giggled "Obviously not alone! Maybe Moira and Dom could come with me." Knowing Moira she would probably take this as an excuse to leave her house and just party every night. But maybe Dom would be our mother figure since we act like children.
"Well I guess-" she mumbled. I started screaming and clapping like a little fangirl. "Woah woah woah! Gigi calm down, I still have to talk to your father about this." she smiled at my happiness.
"God I hope he says yes" I worried.
"Where do you plan on going anyway?"
"I don't know really...maybe somewhere in Europe?"
"Yeah they don't really know about you there" she started thinking.
"Exactly!" I said happily. I always loved Europe. I would always want to go to London and meet a British boy, or maybe Italy the guys are always so hot, oh who am I kidding? European guys in general are always the best! I know Dominick is going to have a ball!
"I just need a good place to stay hidden" I said as me and my mom where brainstorming. Then it hit me. "What about Germany?"
My mom made a weird look "Germany, are you sure?"
"Yeah! It's the perfect place! No one will know who I am...hopefully." I gave a weak smile.
"Gigi you don't even know how to speak German."
"...I could learn from a tutor, a very hot one at that." I smiled
"Dear Jesus," my mom sighed "Whatever. It's only for about a year right?"
"Yeah" I agreed "unless I like it there then that's a different story" I mumbled as I walked up to my room.
-NEXT DAY-
"GERMANY?" Moira and Dom yelled.
"Yeah! Oh C'mon it would be fun!" I tried to explain.
"G, we don't even speak German!" Dom said.
"I already have trouble learning spanish and you want me to learn German?" Moira complained.
"Ugh, you guys are missing the point! It's a fresh new start! No more bullies teasing us, we can make new friends and meet guys and finally fall in love!" I exaggerated.
Dominick and Moira both exchanged looks. "Fine" they agreed.
"Ha! Yayyy!" I hugged both of them. "We leave next week so start packin' bitches!" I smiled wildely while they both laughed.
