Okay, so I was in my room, doing nothing, when all of a sudden this idea hits me. Well, not literally but you know what I mean. It kinda reminds me of 'Welcome to Mollywood', which is a new TV show that Demi Lovato's going to star in! Apparently it's been changed to 'Sonny with a Chance." Anyway I hope you read and like this story :)

Welcome to Hollywood: A Nalex Story

By xScribbles819

Chapter 1

(Nate's POV)

The teacher was incredibly boring. So boring I can't even explain how boring she was. All she does is drone on and on about how the effects of eating an apple can affect your circulation of the blood.

I know what you're thinking. How can a popular superstar, Nate Gray go to a regular school without being mobbed with dozens of fans and sit in an incredibly boring class in an incredibly boring school called Middlebury Prep?

Well let me tell you something. Being a superstar isn't that exciting, especially when your latest album hasn't sold millions and nobody even looks at you when you walk down the streets of California. Apparently our singing sensation has already dropped, and my manager (always the Pessimist) says that it's going to stay that way.

Shane Gray, my older brother, has been stuffing his face with ice cream ever since our manager told us that. Jason, my even older brother, has been bright and happy and just reported to us that he thinks our album just needs some time for people to notice it.

Of course, you're probably thinking, "Well Nate Gray still probably has some desperate fans in school with him, right?"

Apparently, that's also not true.

I guess I shouldn't get my hopes up about our new album or anything. I mean, the only fan I know that has bought it is our principal.

And she's 90 years old.

(Alex's POV)

Of course my parents had to tell me that we were moving on the day of my birthday. I expected this to be a happy day, full of joy and awesomeness, now that I'm 16. Turning 16 was like, growing up. Turning 16 meant you were able to drive, and get a license.

Turning 16 also meant moving. From Waverly Place, New York all the way to Los Angeles, California.

I had to admit that moving to a glamorous, movie-star filled place was probably exciting. I mean, who wouldn't love meeting a superstar in Hollywood, falling in love, then going off together to get married and have 7 kids?

But then again, I wasn't one of those people. I was Alex Russo, a wizard in training, who had no desire to even move from our apartment into another apartment. I loved our apartment, and although I find it very annoying that my two brothers live in it, I still think that it was the coolest apartment I've ever lived in.

Well, it was the only apartment I've ever lived in, but who wants to know that little detail when you're mad at your parents right now?

Harper thinks that moving to LA was possibly the best thing that's ever happened to me. Of course she's optimistic, she's a bright and happy person, even though sometimes I think that's just really not the best way to go for her.

She says she'll miss me, but I bet she's probably wishing that the family moving in our old apartment will have a girl who loves to dress up as a cupcake too. Then they could be best friends and be happy while me, boring old Alex could sit in a classroom filled with obnoxious people in LA.

I'm sounding... pessimistic. I don't think that's too good, since I usually have a bubbly and sarcastic (mostly sarcastic) personality.

And now my mom, Theresa, has brought out the cake. It looks delicious, filled with chocolate and vanilla ice cream, my two favorite kinds.

I should just focus on the fact that it's my birthday and I'm turning 16. I'm going to put away my worries of becoming a loser in the world of LA way back in my head and enjoy this.

At least, while it lasts.

(Nate's POV)

The teacher finally stopped droning about the circulation of blood to tell us some news. And it's actually pretty exciting news, since the last exciting piece of information was announced 2 years ago. Since then, nothing has ever changed in this school. Except, of course, people moving up a grade and staying in the same grade, and even moving down a grade.

I tell you, sometimes I just wished I were a normal boy living a normal life in... New York or something.

"Nate Gray!" The teacher, Miss Burgundy (weird name, I know.) "Are you listening to me?"

I jumped and nodded my head quickly. People were staring, and a few girls were giggling. "Yes... ma'am."

"You have no right to call me 'Ma'am!'" she said. "Wait, yes you do, but that doesn't matter. Repeat what I just said so I know you were actually listening."

"Uh... our blood circulation can be... affected by eating fruits?" I said, more in question form than a statement.

Miss Burgundy glared at me and frowned. Her mouth turned completely upside down, and her nose seemed to get bigger. She sighed impatiently and said, "Nate Gray, if I ever catch you sleeping during my class again, I'll--"

She was interrupted by the principal, who was opening the door, leading in a pretty dark-haired girl. "Miss Burgundy?" She croaked, "Here is our new student, Alexandria Russo."

"It's Alex." The girl said impatiently. The class raised their eyebrows at each other. This girl was definitely different. No human being in the school had ever had the guts to correct the principal.

The principal's mouth turned slightly upward, which I guess was supposed to be a smile. "I'll let that one go..." She said in her croaky voice, "But the next time I ever hear you correcting me, you'll wish you never moved here!"

"Oh, that wish has already come true." Alex muttered.

Miss Burgundy's frown, by now, had turned into a smile. "Welcome to our class, Alexandria."

Alex started to correct her, but by the evil look from the principal, she stopped herself and smiled fakely. Which I have to admit, looked really cute on her-- what am I saying?! Maybe I've been getting too much... sleep. Yeah. That's it. I've been getting too much sleep. I should stay up more often--

"Did you hear me, Mr. Gray?" Miss Burgundy asked. The principal had left, and Alex was standing next to me, ignoring everyone that was looking at her.

"Um... yes." I said, hoping she hadn't asked me about the circulation of blood.

"Good." Miss Burgundy seemed to buy it this time. "You'll be seated next to him." She said, directing Alex next to me.

She looked at me, and her annoyed expression actually softened. Her face became even prettier as she sat down and gave a little smile at me. But it was still clear that she didn't want to be here.

I ripped out a sheet of notebook paper and scribbled something on it. When Miss Burgundy wasn't looking, I tossed it her way.

(Alex's POV)

The boy next to me, whose name was 'Nate', apparently, tossed me a note. The teacher was talking about something to do with apples and blood circulation. None of that mattered to me.

I opened the note, curious to find out what he had written.

On the paper, scribbled in barely readable handwriting, were the words:

Welcome to Hollywood.

So... what do you think? Do you think I should keep writing it? Review please and tell me what you think! :)
