I only own Staci and Arianna. I started writing this the other day when I was bored. I hope you all enjoy it. I'll have a new chapter up in a few days.
"Staci are you almost ready," I shouted. Just my luck I needed to be on set in a half hour and my friend was nowhere near ready to go.
"Geez Arianna. I was just looking for my purse." Staci said once she met me in the hallway. "So where are we off today Miss Walker?"
Staci and I have been friends since the age of 5 and she went with me to all my gigs. She was my moral support on set plus she loved looking at all the up and coming actors. We were like sisters. I'm the multitalented one and she's the boy ogling one. That's why she moved out to LA with me. To tell you the truth the guys back in Pennsylvania were nowhere near as hot. I'm just so glad my dad found us a house close to his and in a nice neighborhood. You see he's a writer and producer, the main reason I've been acting since I could talk. Also the reason my show is branching from this one I'm guest staring in. Yeah, I've got it made.
"I have rehearsals for "Big Time Rush" today Miss Owens," I said slipping on my sandals. We enjoyed using eachothers last names way more than our first names. It was more sophisticated.
"Never heard of it."
"I didn't either until my dad called to tell me about the audition. Apparently it's some boy band thing."
Staci's face lit up when I said the word boy band. She's been boy crazy since Kindergarten; it's only gotten worse after her eighteenth birthday two years ago.
The drive to the set was silent. The only sounds I heard was the stereo. Staci spent the whole time on her iPhone looking up the show to see just how good-looking or ugly the guys were. She kept touching up her make-up the whole time so these guys had to be cute.
"Ari look at this," she showed me the picture. I'll admit they weren't that bad looking in fact they had this certain charm. "They're guy pretty," she added fixing her hair one last time.
I stepped out of my car and fixed my green tank so it hung over my jeans nicely and didn't cling to them. I was somewhat of a perfectionist. Stacie did the same with her outfit. I looked around, it appeared to be much like any other set.
"You must be Arianna Walker. You're dad only has good things to say about you. Please follow me," a very unimportant woman said. She was probably some assistant or something to tell everyone where to go. If I remembered correctly my first order of business was to record a song with the band. "This is Carlos, Kendall, James, and Logan. You're going to be working with them on "Take a Chance". I gave them a smile and the woman kept talking. She explained how the song was to motivate people to take chances.
"Hi I'm Arianna, it's nice to meet you guys," I said. "This is my best friend Stacie."
"I'm Kendall," the blonde one said.
"James."
"Carlos."
"And I'm Logan," the last one said shaking our hands.
"So let's hear what you've got," James said. It was almost like a dare.
I started singing what first came to my mind Ashley Tisdale's "It's Alright It's Ok"
"It's Alright, It's OK
I'm so much better without you
I won't be sorry
Alright, OK
So don't you bother what I do
No matter what you say
I won't return
Our bridge has burned down
I'm stronger now
Alright, OK
I'm so much better without you
I won't be sorry"
It wasn't what I was used to singing but it's what played last on our drive to the studio.
"You're pretty good," Kendall said.
"Really good," Carlos said. "You should have an album out. I'd buy it."
"Thanks, but um shouldn't we get to work," I said my eyes locked on Kendall's. I needed to get to know him better.
"Yeah we should head into the studio," Kendall sighed. It was like he didn't want to get to work, but continue our little sing off.
"Logan is super cute," Staci said to me when we got alone time before dress rehearsal. "And I saw that way you looked at Kendall. I think he likes you too, so don't worry about it."
"But Staci, I told myself I wouldn't date someone who's famous. I can't break that oath. He looked so darn cute in that hat. I hate guys who wear hats to look cool. HELP!" I pleaded.
"There's not much I can help you with. Plus I'm meeting Logan for lunch." She smiled and left the room.
"Well at least one of us is happy," I sighed leaving the room to walk around.
"Who's happy?" Kendall asked me.
"Everyone should be happy. But right now it's Staci she's thrilled to be going for lunch with Logan. She left me to eat alone."
"You could always eat with James, Carlos, and I," he said with the same smile I saw in the studio. It was enough to make a girl's heart melt like chocolate on a summer day.
"Sure, why not. As long as James doesn't make me sing again," I joked. I really hate being put on the spot.
I walked to a picnic table with Kendall. The whole time I kept wishing I could read his mind just to see if he liked me. Oaths to yourself can be broken, and I can break it for him. He doesn't seem to be like any other Hollywood boy I dated. He looked nice, not like a heartbreaker who would cheat on you when he got the chance.
"So your dad says you're here promoting your new show?" James questioned when I sat down.
"Yeah Nickelodeon's version of Hannah Montana or something like that. Except I'm not going to be super famous or anything just a girl who sings at rodeos. My dad just wants to see what kind of feedback my guest starring gets to see if it's worth continuing of not."
"I read over the script last night of the show we're filming it sounds pretty cool. But your character is famous isn't she? I'm just pumped I get to ride a bull," Carlos said with is mouth full.
"I guess she is somewhat famous," I sighed.
Fame that's what everyone wants, even my character Natalie wants to be famous. I wanted to keep her real and someone girls can connect to. Being famous for so long makes you want to be normal sometimes, where the only people who knew your names where your friends and family.
"Sorry those two don't exactly have the best manners," Kendall said sympathetically. He then sent glares at Carlos and James.
"No worse than my brother. He's as bad as both of you put together." I could tell Carlos and James looked hurt by what Kendall just said about them and I thought that may make them feel better.
"Are you ready to head to rehearsal now?" Kendall asked me. Gosh those eyes were amazing; I couldn't stop looking at them.
"Of course I'm ready I can't wait to see my baby."
"BABY!!" James shouted.
"Yeah my horse. He's a big baby and also the horse I'm riding in the little fair that we're performing at. Didn't you read the script?"
"Oh yeah that makes sense," Carlos laughed. "I remember a horse now."
The four walked into the studio to begin the days rehearsal.
