Courtney eagerly busted through the doors of the famous Palmwoods Hotel. Even though it was 10:00 AM she still found herself surrounded by aspiring stars who are trying to make it big in Hollywood. She made her way over to the front desk to find a short, stocky man who was wearing a name tag that said, "Mr. Bitters".
"Welcome to the Palmwoods, how can I help you?" He said with a smile. "My name is Courtney Martin I'm supposed to be living here now." she replied. "Oh yes, you will be living in apartment 3J." Mr. Bitters said. "Here are your keys. Have a Palmwoods day." He said as he handed her keys to her new apartment.
She got her bags and headed for apartment 3J. As she entered the elevator she was trampled by four guys running like wild buffalos trying to beat each other into the elevator. They were all screaming at each other saying "I got here first, I won!" They didn't realize Courtney was even in the elevator until she got irritated and yelled "STOP IT!" Startled by this, all four guys turned and looked at Courtney.
"He obviously was here first." She said pointing to the tall brunette. "YES! By the way, I'm James, and this is Carlos, Logan and Kendall. Were in a band called Big Time Rush." he said as he pointed to each of his friends. "Hi, I'm Courtney I'm just moving in now." She replied shyly.
When they were screaming at each other, Courtney couldn't see their faces so she didn't realize how cute they were especially James. the five of them talked for the rest of the elevator ride, but Courtney and James could not keep their eyes off of each other.
When the elevator door slid open Carlos, Kendall, and Logan raced towards their apartment. But James stayed back with Courtney and offered to help carry her bags to her apartment.
They walked and talked on the way to her apartment. "So, the guys and I are from Minnesota. Where are you from?" he asked her. "I'm from Virginia. My parents bought a house near here for them and my sister, so I am living here alone."
She told him how a talent scout found her in her high schools talent show and asked her to come sing in L.A. "who do you sing for? BTR sings for Gustavo Roque" he asked. "I sing for Gustavo too!" she said with excitement. "That's so cool, but it's a lot of work singing for him. When do you start?" he said. "I have today and two more days off to get settled in."
They continued talking about work and L.A. until they got to her apartment. When they got to her apartment James helped Courtney bring in all her bags, and they exchanged phone numbers before James headed back to his apartment, which was apartment 3J, which happened to be right next to Courtney's apartment.
Courtney continued to unpack her things, but she couldn't help but think about James.
