I'm Not Lucy, I'm Not Charlotte
Jades Pov
I was in Sikowitz's Class leaning against Beck and I was board out of my mind.
Sikowitz: so in March we will be taking a field trip to…Appleton Indiana!
Beck: 1 why Indiana...
Me: and 2 why are you telling us this now it's January?
Sikowitz: Well my cousin is principle at a school there and he asked us to do a musical for them as a assembly
Tori: ooh what play?
Sikowitz: well one of the students there wrote a play about his life when he first moved there and I thought it would be fun to do that.
Cat: um there might be a problem there
Robbie: Teens might not want to sit there for two hours watching people there age
Me: especially one who don't have respect for theatre
Sikowitz: Oh there not your age, it's a middle school
Beck: ok when are additions
Sikowitz: I've already cast the parts they are on the list on the door
We all ran to the door it read.

We sat back down and Sikowitz handed out the scripts. I skimmed through it. YES I GET TO MAKE-OUT WITH BECK! Apparently he saw it too.
Beck: hey you want to come over after school to "practice"
Air quotes around practice.
Me: I don't know…SURE
At Becks RV
We started to "practice" but then it turned into a make-out session. We "practiced" for about 5 minutes, but then the door bell rang. Beck opened the door and in walked Robbie, Andre, Cat, and ugh Vega.
Me: Beck! I thought WE were going to "practice"
Beck: We did now we are going to practice
No air quotes this time
Cat: "practice"?
Then she giggled
Tori: t-m-i
Becks Pov
Me: since we are all in this number let's start with getting ready
Cat: HEY! I'm not in that
Me: but Patrice is and you're her understudy
Robbie: I got one shot
Better get it right
I'm getting ready
Got to look real hot
When it's Friday night
I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready today
I'm getting ready to say
I'm not that weird geek you think I must be
I'm getting ready to move
I'm getting ready to prove
Kendra, just needs a sex God like me
Andre: On Friday night, I'll be the hometown hero
Robbie: Got to cut my nails
They sang and it sounded pretty good then it came to my part
Me: There in the dark of the Appleton Cinema
Free from the public's prying eyes
There with my girl in the chair beside me
I can reveal my big surprise
There while the rest of the crowd's immersed and
All of the blood vessels on screen's burst and
Kendra will get to be the first in line to realize
Here comes the tongue!
When I sang the part about Kendra Jade eye balled me. Since Sinjin and Johnny weren't there Cat sang there parts.
Me: Here comes the—
Cat and Me: Tongue!
Jades Pov
I LOVE this play I get to call Tori a Slut AND Make-out with Beck!
Tori: If he does it and I let him,
Me: You're a slut which you are
Beck gave me a look that said be nice. Yeah right
Me: But he could also get his tongue stuck down your throat
Or try to kiss so hard he chips one of your teeth
Oh, there's a million other ways it could all go wrong
It doesn't matter if they urge to kiss him back is strong
You've got to hold that boy in bay
Step back from the edge and say
I'm a good girl
I don't do that
I'm a nice girl
Put that away
I'm a good girl
Keep your hands off
If you tell him that
Then you'll be okay When you got that solo in choir
It's cause I told you what to sing
When you got the lead in the fall school play
It's cause I coached you all last spring
When you got to be the head on the cheerleading squad
It's cause I taught you everything
Me and Vega: I could be Brett's girlfriend
Me: If I could get her out of the way
We finished the song.
At Sikowitz's Class
Sikowitz: okay let's take it from Beck and Jade in "Bad Bad News"
Beck and I were holding hands.
Me: I just changed my Facebook status to IN A RELATIONSHIP
Beck: In a relationship?
Me: yes our profiles have to be linked together forever…like love handcuffs right Brett?
Beck: oh hey Cassie
Me: Were you flirting with her
Instead of saying his line he laughed.
Sikowitz: Beck what's so funny
Beck: It's that this conversion between Brett and Lucy
Tori: What about it
Beck: It just sounds like a conversation Jade and I would ACUALLY have
Me: NO it isn't
Beck: yes it is
Sikowitz: just continue the scene starting with Jade repeat you line.
Me: Were you flirting with her
Beck: I was just saying hi
Me: oh so you're saying she's hot
Beck: NO! Well I mean she's hot but-
Me: SO YOU'RE SAYING IM FAT!
Beck: WHAT! I never said that
Me: YOU NEVER SAY ANYTHING ABOUT HOW AMAZING I LOOK ANYMORE...OH MY GOD, you HATE me!
Beck: Lucy you are driving me crazy
Me: See but that is sweet! I like sweet. Sweet makes me sweet. Got it?
Beck: NO!
A few months later
Beck's Pov
We were leaving for Indiana tomorrow and Jade was staying over at my place.
Me: Jade is everything ok your awfully quiet today
Jade: I was just thinking back a few months
Me: about?
Jade: what you said in rehearsal
Me: huh
Jade: when you said we have conversations like Lucy and Brett
Me: come on you know we fight like that
I nudged her.
Me: you know we are leaving tomorrow and Helen said boys and girls are sleeping on different floors and they are going to be really strict about it so that means…
Jade: no sex for a week
Me: yeah so...
Jade: you want to do it now
Me: yeah so...
Jade: ok let's do it
In Indiana
At the middle school
Jade's Pov
I had just gotten into costume and went to the boys' dressing room I knocked on the door because Sinjin was in there and if I just barged in WHO KNOWS what he would have done.
Robbie: Who is it?
Me: ME!
Robbie: who is me?
Me: IT'S JADE YOU IDIOT! Is Beck there?
Then Beck came out
Beck: hey babe
Me: come here
Then I dragged him in front of some locker. We started to make-out. Our tongues had a battle.
Voice of 7th grader: Oh my god LUCY! How could cheat on Brett like that?
I turned around
7th grader: wow Lucy did you hit a growth spurt over the week end
Me: I'm not Lucy! I don't even know who the hell Lucy is? Who is this Brett kid anyways? Who are you anyways?
Molly: I'm Molly you know your friend. We are on the cheerleading squad together
Me: Wait Cheerleader? Lucy? Brett? BECK she thinks I'm the person I'm playing in the show!
Me: have you seen Cat?
Lucy's Pov
Me: Charlotte? Charlotte? Where are you? CHARLOTTE! What the Hell did you do to you hair.
Charlotte had dyed her hair PINK! Well more like red.
Cat: Who's Charlotte? I'm Cat
She turned around
Cat: Oh my god Jade! You're not warring black!
Me: um I'm not jade I'm Lucy you should know that!
Cat: OH I get it we are playing our parts ha-ha ok "Lucy" let's go find "Brett" and "Kendra"
Cat's Pov
I was walking with "Lucy" and I was telling her a really interesting story about my brother on our way to the dressing room.
Me: and then he ate it! Ha-ha isn't that funny Jad-
She wasn't behind me oh well I quickly changed into my costume and met up with Jade, Beck, Andre, Robbie, and Tori.
During the show
Lucy's Pov
I was in homeroom when they called us on the announcements "7th grade please come to the auditorium for your assembly". Once we were there I took my seat next to Brett and rested my head on his shoulder. "Hollywood Arts high school presents 13 the musical written by one of our own students Evan Goldman!" I turned my head to Evan with the rest of the grade and he blushed. The show started I looked at the playbill they had just finished a song called "Lamest place in the world" next was "Hey Kendra".
Actor who plays Brett: Kendra there is something I want to ask you
Actress who plays me: OH GOD!
Man why did this have to be true! I looked at the names of the characters I was played by some girl named Jade West and the person who plays Brett's name is Beck Oliver.
Jade: No, no, no, no! You can't go to the movies on Friday night
I looked at Brett he seemed to like his character hitting on Kendra. I elbowed him to remind him I was his girlfriend.
Jade: cause you already committed to do that thing
The actress who played Kendra was named Tori Vega
Tori: What thing
Jade: That thing
Tori: What thing
Jade: That thing you said you would do on Friday
Tori: There is no thing
Jade: Yes is Kendra!
Tori: I'm going the movies Friday night with Brett
Jade: No you're not! Don't contradict me in public Kendra we'll talk about this later!
Tori: FINE!
I looked at Kendra she looked at me we both looked really uncomfortable. Right now they were doing a song about how Archie wanted Evan to get him a date with Kendra.
Actor who plays Archie: and what I need is Kendra
Boys: Kendra, Kendra
Actor who plays Archie: very hot Kendra
Boys: very hot very hot
Everyone was staring at either Archie or Kendra. They both were SO embarrassed. After this song there was a bunch of stupid dialog then it showed cheerleading practice. My character was singing a song. I feared because I knew what it was going to be about.
Jade: Brett wants Kendra to be his girlfriend. But Brett is the boy that I want to be with. I only want what's best for my best friend. So do I wait acting fate till she makes a mistake or do I take the reward that I really want to take if I prayed to god and cried a little maybe he'd provide a little O-P-P opportunity.
Everyone in the room looked at me! Man I was so embarrassed. Oh Charlotte didn't dye her hair red it was the actress because she was up there singing with the other "cheerleaders".
Jade: OMG and you know that he wants me but since its Kendra he asked then there's nothing to say unless I scheme and I plot till she's out of the way.
I WAS GOING TO KILL EVAN! He made me seem like a total Bitch!
Brett's Pov
I looked at Lucy she looked like she was about to cry. I felt bad! They sang about how Evan got us into "the Bloodmaster" then about us "getting ready". Lucy was telling Kendra not to kiss me! Now we were at the movie the guy who played me's name was Beck and Kendra was played by some girl named Tori. The girl who played Lucy look EXACTLY like her!
Beck: Someone got their eye lids torn off and she's sitting there and I should be doing something.
I turned my head to Lucy. She looked sad. Heartbroken I nudged her.
Me: Luc you know it's just a play I love YOU right
I whispered
Lucy: A true play! But yeah if you can forget about the opportunity song
Me: of course
I kissed her forehead.
Beck: She just set is Penis on fire
Tori: this is weird
Beck: what do I do?
Tori: am I fat?
Beck: This is so not romantic
Tori: he wants to be with Lucy
YES I do want to be with Lucy!
Beck: this was such a stupid idea
Tori: and she's right
Beck: If I could just
Tori: I'm a good girl
Beck: turn my head slightly.
The song ended right when my Character kissed ARCHIE'S! I didn't want the whole school knowing that! I'm going to kill Evan! Now it was intermission.
Lucy's Pov
Me: Brett guess what!
I showed him my actresses Bio.
Brett: Jade west- She started acting in her kindergarten production of the itsy bitsy spider. She is 16 years old goes to Hollywood arts high school in California So what?
Me: no keep reading
Brett: In her free time she collects scissors, Makes Tori Vega's( who plays Kendra) life miserable, Makes "what I hate" and "Jade with tots" videos for her school website, and "Hangs out" with her boyfriend Beck ( plays Brett). She would like to say GIRLS STAY AWAY FROM BECK! Okay why did you show me that?
Me: because the Actress who plays me and the Actor who plays you are DATING and so are we!
Brett: cool
He said it sarcastically!
Me: So you want to break up with me!
Brett: NO!
Me: are you sure because it seems like you like this play!
Brett: so what if I do?
Me: YOU AND KENDRA ARE DATING IN IT!
Brett: Lucy babe I like YOU!
Then he pulled me into a kiss. The lights dimmed and the show started again.After a few songs my character went
Jade: oh HAIL no
Now I was scared after this song Brett would break up with me for sure. During the song I kept an eye on him he didn't seem to mind my sabotage.
After the show at Dairy Queen
Beck's Pov
Jade and I were at Dairy Queen enjoying some ice cream. Two people from the middle school we preformed at sat across from us. The girl was a cheerleader, but she looked SO familiar. I looked at Jade. JADE! That girl looked exactly like Jade; you know when her hair was brown, with no color, wearing something not black. Apparently her boyfriend thought the same thing because while I staring at his girl, he was staring at mine.
Boy: Lucy, are you sure you don't want any ice cream
Lucy: No Brett I do NOT
Brett: uh huh
He was still staring at Jade with a confused look. This made me relived because I was confused too! Jade's eyes got big uh oh same with Lucy. WAIT! Lucy and Brett those are our characters!
Jade and Lucy: What are you looking at
Me and Brett: nothing
Jade and Lucy: WERE YOU STARING AT HER!
They pointed to each other.
Me and Brett: yes!
Did I just say that out loud? Uh oh.
Jade and Lucy: So you want to break up with me!
Me and Brett: WHAT! NO!
Me: Jade
Brett: Luc
Me and Brett: I love you
Jade and Lucy: then why were you staring at her!
Wow not only do they look alike but they talk alike too!
Me and Brett: SHE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE YOU!
Jade: no she doesn't
I couldn't hear what Lucy said.
Me: come hear
I pulled her over to Brett and Lucy's table.
Me: hi
Jade's Pov
Um Beck must be suffering a head injury that girl looks nothing like me.
Beck: hi I'm Beck and this is my girlfriend Jade
Boy: Hi I'm Brett and this is my girlfriend Lucy
Me: wait your names are Brett and Lucy… BECK those are our characters.
Beck: I know
He chuckled.
Lucy: huh?
Beck: we're actors from Hollywood arts we came to your school today and we play you guys.
Me: Beck we look nothing alike!
Lucy: yeah she has black hair I have brown, she has colored extensions I don't, she is an actor I'm a cheerleader, AND she has face piercings I only have ear.
Beck: well last year jade had brown hair she dyed it, some tome she dosnt wear extensions, hobbies have nothing to do with this AND she can take out her face piercings
Me: yeah but when have I ever taken out my extensions and piercings
Beck: last night
THAT does NOT count!
Brett: what were you doing last night
Me: like a couple of 7th graders should know
Lucy: I'd like to know
Beck: it's kind of per-
Me: we had sex
They looked shocked.
Beck: JADE! That's personal plus they are younger don't scar them for life.
Me: I'm board
Then I walked back to our table
