Cat's POV

I sat at the dining room table eating breakfast with my family. There was me, Caterina, I was 14, my mother Elizabeth, my father Joel, my sisters Lucia and Julianna who were both 23 and my little brother George who was 10.

"There's a letter for you Caterina!" George announced passing me a white envelope. I looked at it. There must have been a mistake. I never got letters. I opened it carefully making sure that I didn't tare anything. I took the letter out and read aloud.

"Caterina Valentine, you have been excepted into Hollywood Arts!" It said. I smiled. I was hoping for so long that I had done enough in my first audition. Apparently, I had!"That's nice Caterina!" my father said with no enthusiasm. "How much is the fee?"

"It's free Father!" I announced. "I got a scholarship!" I said beginning to squeal in excitement.

"No need to get in a fuss over nothing, It's just a silly school, I'm not even sure if I'll leave you go there yet!" my mom said shaking her head.

"Please Mother! Please!" I begged.

"I'll have to think about it. I'll discuss it with your father!" she told me. "Now hurry up and finish your breakfast or you'll be later for school!"

I finished my breakfast and quickly walked to school. I met my best friend André. My parents didn't approve of me having André as a friend. They didn't think he was posh enough!"Hello André!" I smiled putting my books into my locker.

"Hey Caterina! Guess what? I got accepted into Hollywood Arts!" he announced.

"Me too!" I smiled as he gave me a huge hug.

"I'm so excited!" I told him as we walked to our first class.

"Yeah, I'm pretty excited too!" he told me.

"I can't wait to get out of middle school!" I sighed.

"Just one more week Caterina! One more week!" he responded with a smile.


"Father?" I asked at the dinner table the following night.

"Yes Caterina?" he replied.

"Umm…Can I go to Hollwood Arts?" I quaked.

"I told you that we'd think about it!" he retorted.

"B-but I need to send in the form saying that I accepted by next Monday," I stammered.

"Didn't I already tell you that I'd think about it, if you keep asking I definatley won't let you!" he fumed.

"Sorry father, I just really need to know!" I quivered. "Caterina, you're really doing my head in, go up to your room and do your homework or whatever!" he shouted.

"But Father, I need to know now, please!" I begged.

"Caterina your room now!" my mom ordered.

I sighed and ran up to my room with tears in my eyes. I hated my family. Well my sisters are okay and I love my brother. I just hate my parents. Any other parents would just let me go straight away. Mine wont even leave me ask about it.

I heard a knock on my door. I didn't answer it. I didn't want anyone to see me crying.

"Caterina it's me! I'm coming in now!" My little brother George opened the door and ran in.

"Hey Gerorgie!" I sighed as he sat down next to me on my bed.

"Hi Cat!" he said giving me a hug. He was the only person to call me Cat. I loved that nickname but only he could call me it. I called him Georgie. It really suited him.

"Are you sad?" he asked me.

"Yeah a little bit," I told him.

"Father's really mean!" he sighed. "Yeah! Why doesn't he want me to go to Hollywood Arts? Doesn't he like me being happy?" I sobbed.

"Father doesn't like happiness!" George sighed. "I bet he'll let you go though!" he smiled.

"Do you think so?" I asked him.

"Yeah!" he replied smiling. He gave me a hug and then climbed down off my bed and ran off. George always knows how to cheer people up!


The next day when I came home my parents were looking at my report card.

"Caterina sit down," my mother ordered as I walked though the front door. I sat down next to them.

"We've decided to let you go to Hollywood Arts!" my father announced. A wave of happiness washed through me. They were letting me go!"Thank you sooo much!" I smiled to both of them.

"Your grades are excellent, that's why you're going, but if they go below an a - then we might just have to take you out, understood?" he asked.

"Yes father, I understand," I smiled at him and ran upstairs.

I took out my cell phone and called André.

"Hi André! Guess what? My parents are letting me go to Hollywood Arts!" I told him squealing with excitement.

"That's great Caterina! Now we'll be going to the same high school!" he said in a happy tone.

"I know! I have to go now! See you tomorrow!" I told him. I flung my cell phone down on my bed and smiled. I'm going to Hollywood Arts!

André and I were the only people from my school who were going to Hollywood Arts. I wasn't going to miss anyone because I didn't really have any other friends besides André. Everyone else called me "Posh Chick" or a swot.

Weeks quickly passed after our middle school graduation. André and I spent our time at each others houses playing music and reacting scenes from plays and movies. We wanted to be well prepared for Hollywood Arts.

I knew that I was now. I couldn't wait to start. I was nervous but André would be there with me the whole way!
