For the first time, I step into Palm Woods. My first thought of it is, they've got an awesome pool. I'm going to love this place but, will I enjoy being the new girl, which will still be a question. My dad actually wanted me to be here and be famous. My parents really do care about me but I'm stuck here alone to pursue my dream of being a singer. I was signed to Rocque Records last month after Gustavo and his assistant, Kelly saw my performance at my school stage. I was singing my own-written song, Why Me, Why Now. I don't want to leave my band and family behind but after hearing all the encouragements, I've got to live my dream.

"Excuse me, can you please move out of my way?"

"And who are you to make me?"

"The girl who is going to smack your face if you don't move in another second."

"Really girlie? Try me."

I wanted to slap him but he stopped me by holding my wrist. Laughing at my face while I try my very best to free my wrist from this idiot.

"Hey man, let her go! That's not,"

"Ouch!"

I stamped on the guy's foot and he finally lose his grip on my left wrist. It have a slight reddish mark on it and I quickly push him into the pool with the help of this guy who wanted to help me. We manage to get him all nice and wet and laugh at him as hard as we could.

"Thanks. It's really nice of you to help me."

"You're welcome. Anyway, I'm James."

"Makayla. And nice bandanas, I love them. A lot. I have a ton of collection back home."

"You love bandanas too?"

"Yes! I mean, they are cool."

"Of course. But all of my friends thought that they weren't cool. Anyway, are you new?"

"What's the hint? My bags or my face?"

"Maybe a little of both? Need any help?"

"All the help I need is to find my room, 4K."

"4th level, turn to the right."

"Alright. Thanks James, I'll see you around."

"Yeah, you too."

He replied and watches as I walk into the lobby and disappear from his view. James smile to himself before Kendall, who is wet and mad, stood in front of him.

"And you really have to do that?"

"You were pissing her off."

"I was fooling around with her man! Can't you see that?"

"No! All I saw was Kendall being a mean jerk! To a girl!"

"You know I'm not like that!"

"Did Logan and Carlos make you do that?"

"I should have known they're messing with me!"

"Just go on and change, you'll catch a cold."

"Yeah. You're right."

"As always my friend."

Kendall walked away but came back to James afterwards.

"Hey I forgot something."

"What?"

"This."

At that exact moment Kendall push his brown-haired friend into the pool and laugh at him. Everyone by the pool laugh along at James misfortune.


I wore a bistre-colored perfectly woven, scoop neck knit top and also a racerback tank top with my 4-pocket denim shorts, which is constructed with braided trims. I let my long, straight and smooth black hair loose. Just after my shower, I decided to have a look around and talk with my best friend forever, Macy Terey.

"Yes Macy, you will be fine. I'm sure they will accept you as their new vocalist."

"But Kay, the band isn't just the band anymore since you're gone. Things just goes on differently, bad different."

"You'll get use to it Mace. Anyway, how's Danny?"

"He seems to get duller each and every second of his life without you."

"Good to hear that. Tell him that I miss him, a lot okay?"

"Of course. And he says that no one can ever replace your place in this band or in his heart."

"Get real, he didn't. You made that up."

"Believe me Makayla if you really take me as a best friend."

"That's so sweet. And I have to go now. I'm sorry."

"It's okay. You called, that matters. Take care Kay."

"Back at you."

I hung up as I felt tears swelling in my eyes. I swear if there are tears running down my cheek or swelling in my eyes, my voice will change and Macy will know that I'm crying. And no, I don't want her to know that. But do I really want to leave everything behind just to make this dream come true?
