I looked around the lobby as my dad talked to the manager. I loved the fact that I was going to be on tv but I was sad that I had to start over and meat new people I was never any good at first impressions.

"Katie come on I got the key to our apartment."

"coming dad," I said as I picked up my things and followed him to the elevator. As we were walking four guys ran past but one caught my eye. I turned and watched James Diamond run to the pool. I rolled my eyes grate they lived here I thought to myself as I turned back around and continued to walk to the elevator. I hated big tine rush. Okay so that was a lie I liked their music I just didn't like them. James in particular I thought he was cute like every girl in America but I knew he was a conceded self-centered jerk I could tell because I was good at reading people. That and he always had a comb with him fixing his hair in very interview he's ever done. Which shows he was all about looks. The elevator stops and my dad stepped out. I followed him to apartment 3j he unlocked the door and we walked in. The living room/kitchen was pretty big and there were two rooms with two bathrooms which was good because I didn't like sharing a bathroom and my dad knew that from when his last girlfriend and her daughter moved in with us. She was the most annoying girl ever and we fought all the time she was always leaving her stuff out all over the counter of the bath room. She would constantly annoy me by taking my stuff without asking and after a while my dad broke things off with her mom and they moved out. It seamed that he couldn't find anyone that was right for him. He used to tell me that he had only loved one person and that had been my mother but he said that even when you love someone things don't always workout that sometimes it's better if you just let go. I never knew my mother but I wasn't sure I would want to because it's been so long and if she really wanted to see me then she would of by now I mean I was seventeen. My dad also told me that she had loved me but that they didn't want me and my brother that my dad didn't like to talk about to have to go from moms house to dads house our whole lives so they agreed to just end he communication. It wasn't like I never raked to my mother it's just that after a while we lost contact because we had moved around a lot. I only new my brothers first name not his last because when my mom and dad separated she had changed her name along with Kendal my brother who I had never talked to. I headed to my rook and unpacked my stuff. I didn't have a lot of stuff because my dad said that we would be going shopping for new stuff since the weather here was different then the weather in Chicago. After I got all my stuff situated and my bed made with my pink and green striped bed set I went to find my dad and get his credit card so I could go to the mall. "Hey dad can I have the credit card?" I asked with my hand out. "sure." he said reaching in belie wallet and pulling out the American express. I took it and skipped out of the apartment. As I headed out of the lobby I saw a bunch of girls surrounding the members of BTR. They appeared to be a bunch of crazy fan girls. I shook my head and walked to the road I pulled out my pone and called the cab company and had them send a cab over to take me to the mall. The guy on the phone told me it would he at least thirty minutes so I headed to palm-woods Park to wait. I sat and played games on my IPod and texted a few of my friends from back home one of which was my boyfriend Alex who agreed to try the long-distance thing since I would be visiting family in Chicago as much as I could. We were talking and jolting about how I better not hook up with Justin Bieber while I'm in LA I reassured him that that would never happen because Justin lived in Atlanta but if I had moved to Atlanta instead LA then that would be a different story. He laughed and said that would be okay as long as he got Jasmine Justin's rumored to be girlfriend. I looked up from my phone and saw the cab pull up and I waked over. I got in and told the cab driver were I wanted to go and when I finally go to the mall Alex said that he couldn't talk anymore and that he would text me later. I closed my phone and slipped it in my pocket I grabbed my money out of my purse and paid the cab driver as I got out. I looked at the mall it was huge. I walked in and headed strait for the nearest store. After about an hour I had hit about twelve stores and had over twenty bags. I was walking to the food court when I spotted James I rolled my eyes and continued walking not expecting for him to notice me.

"hello I'm James," he said politely.

"I know who you are," I said with a hint of an attitude.

"oh so you've heard about me"

"yeah I have" as I kept standing there it became harder to keep up my attitude and annoyance. His smile was making me smile. His eyes reflected the sun and made his eyes an interesting red-brown. I smiled and so did he.

He looked down at my bags. "do you need some help with those?" he asked pointing at the bags in my left hand.

"sure" I said handing him the bags.

"have I seen you before you look kind of familiar," he said looking a bit confused. "actually I passed you earlier in the lobby at the palm-woods I just moved in today actually" I said as we started to walk to the food court.

"that's cool I look forward to seeing you around then," he said and I sat my stuff at a table. He stopped and sat my stuff down we both took a seat and talked a little bit more. I looked at his watch it said that it was 12:00 I remembered that I had got here at 9:00 that meant that we had been talking for over two hours. I smiled to myself at how the time flew by he was so easy to talk to. As I thought the words I suddenly felt bad remembering about Alex.

"I have to go" I said getting up and grabbing my things.

"well I'll give you a ride," James said with a smile on his face. I could tell that he didn't want this to end yet. Against my better judgment I nodded my head and followed him out to his car. His car was a black convertible eclipse. He opened the trunk and took my bags from me. He shut the trunk and opened my door for me. I was shocked at how nice the car was. He pushed a button on the keys and the top went down.

"your car is crazy awesome," I said looking around.

"yeah I get that a lot," he said with a sexy smile on his face. I shook the thought out of my head remembering Alex again. I felt bad about what was going on but I also knew I wasn't doing any thing wrong but still the feeling I got from his red-brown eyes and from his sparkly smile. I felt like I wasn't being fair to Alex but a small voice in my head said "what about him is he being faithful?" he hasn't given me a reason to not trust him it was just a gut feeling that was suddenly there. I didn't realize it but we were back at the palm-woods.

We got out and James got my stuff out of the trunk and carried it for me, "what apartment do u live in?"

"3j,"I said grabbing a few of the bags out of his hands. We headed up to the third floor. "that's cool you have the apartment across from me," he said smiling again. I wanted to punch him when he did that. It reminded me of Alex and I didn't feel like thinking about him. When the elevator opened back up we walked down the hall. We got to the door and there was a note attached to it.

Katie,

I decided to go do some grocery shopping.

Ill be back in about an hour (12:05)

Love,

Dad

I remembered that my dad didn't give me the key when he left so I was locked out and as I reached for the handle it confirmed my thought. I stood there for a second and remembered were my dad would of put the key for me. I bent down and reached under the door. I found the key and stood up happy that I had found it. I unlocked the door and we walked in.

"Where do you want me to put these?" James asked referring to the bags in his hands.

"Follow me," I said walking to my room. I opened the door and when we walked in James looked a little shocked. "What?" I asked trying to understand y he was freaking out.

"Nothing it just, your room is so pink," he said glancing around.

"Yeah I had a brief obsession with pink last year," I said laughing a little. He sat the bags down on the bed and turned back to me.

"So what do you want to do?" he asked smiling sexily. I found that I didn't want to punch him this time.

"Hmm… We could go to the pool." I said smiling back.

"Cool ill go change," he said leaving the room.. I shut the door behind him and went over to the bags that were on my bed. It was a good thing that I had bought a new bathing suit today. I pulled it out and looked at the red two piece. It was cute and I also bought a red towel dress to go with it. I reached in another bag and pulled out the dress. I walked to the bathroom. I changed and walked out of the bathroom. I walked back to my room and grabbed the sun block, my red sandals and my new red towel. I had mentioned how I had the obsession with pink well now it was red. I laughed to myself and walked out of the apartment to find James coming out of his apartment across the hall. he turned around and I waited for him to say something I knew he was checking me out. he wasn't that bad looking either he had on swim trunks and a muscle shirt. His muscles we so hot I could see why girls would fall for him. I smiled and he smoothly said "You ready to go."

"Sure" I said as we walked down the hall.

*Time skip(at the pool)*

We sat down at two of the sun loungers and I pulled the dress off James looked over at me and then took his muscle shirt off. I looked over and saw his abs trying not to drool to much and then laughed at myself.

I leaned back in the chair and looked up at the clouds. I closed my eyes and suddenly felt two arms around me. My eyes flew open and looked to find that it was James who was carrying me. In the split second it took me to realize this I also realized what he was doing.

We hit the water and It was freezing cold. When we resurfaced I hit him in the back of the head. He started to laugh "what's so damn funny."

He looked at me innocently "you hit like a girl, and your cute when your mad."

I blushed at the last part and I hit him again this time I laughed "I am a girl you idiot." he smiled again but I had one last question for him "why the hell did u throw me in the pool?" I asked trying to figure it out.

"you looked hot so I thought you should cool off in the pool" he said with a smirk on his face.

I laughed at him and splashed water in his face. After going back and forth like that he eventually grabbed my hand to stop me. Our faces were inches apart and he was leaning closer. He was an inch from my lips and my phone went off. I pulled away and got out to answer my phone.

"hello?"

"hey katie it's dad can you come help me in the apartment."

"sure" I said hanging up and grabbing my stuff.
