Lights, Camera, Jealousy, Action!

Chapter 1


"Action!"

"Shut up, already!" Tawni yelled. Grady was practicing "being annoying", like Tawni had put it, but really he was practicing to be a director. He was afraid he was going to get kicked off the show soon because he had been on the show for a long time, and Marshall didn't seem very happy with him lately.

"I have to practice more!"

"No, you don't. Because even if you do kicked off, which eventually you will because all you do is eat and be annoying, you still won't be a director. All you'll do is eat and boss people around." Tawni replied.

"Tawni, that was really kind of rude." I whispered. Grady didn't look hurt though, he just took a bite of his meatball sandwich.

Mondays. Oh, how I adore them.

"How do you know what directing is like?" Grady asked, mouth full of sauce. Nico looked at him disgusted, although he does the exact same thing.

"Hello, what do you think I do on stage? Look off into the distance and stand there like a moron?"

"Isn't that what you all do?" A familiar, annoying, cocky, stupid voice said. We all turned to look at the prophouse entrance as Chad walked in. You could feel everybody tense up out of anger and annoyance of our Mackenzie Falls rival.

"If you hate our show so much, why are you here?" I growled, folding my arms and standing in front of him so he couldn't go any further into the prophouse.

"Believe me, I don't bring good news. And by good news, I mean news that involves me. In a good way."

"Nah?" I shot back sarcastically. Chad rolled his eyes and walked around me to face my castmates.

"Well what's your news so you can beat it out of here?" Zora asked.

"It hurts me to say this, but-" He began, looking like he was going to cry. Or throw-up. Or both. "I'm sorry, I can't go on." He gasped, sitting down in one of our chairs. We all looked at eachother, not knowing what to do. Should we push him out of the chair? Or let him re-gather himself so he could tell us his news?

I was the first to speak, as always.

"Chad, we all know you're a drama queen and this news is probably something really stupid. So just spit it out so we can move on with our lives."

He looked up at us, and he hadn't been crying, or throwing up, or both; he looked completely normal.

"Spit. It. Out." Tawni grumbled. Nico and Grady nodded their heads at Tawni's comment in agreement. Chad finally looked like he had had enough. He rubbed the back of his neck and then stood up.

"Alright, alright! fkdkfdhisenvlaiergfdl."

"Huh?" We all asked in unison.

Chad sighed angrily and clenched his fists.

"I just told you and now you want me to say the horribly painful news again!"

"Once more, and slower." I said.

"How does this even concern us?" Tawni asked.

"Fine. The news is, one of you has to guest star next week on Mackenzie Falls. The worst part is that I can't choose, which means I can't pick the least annoying person. And with my luck, i'll probably get some random like Gravy on the show."

"It's Grady, although Gravy does sound much tastier." Grady added.

"Why don't you go whine to your castmates about this? Why whine to the people you're bagging on?" Tawni asked snobbishly.

"Because I already did, Tiffany."

"Tiffany? That name doesn't even match me!"

I stood up from the couch arm where I was sitting.

"Wouldn't a guest star from another show give you even more publicity?" I asked. Chad seemed to think about it.

"That's true, yeah, but working with a random? Not my style."

"Yeah, because you're style is wack." Nico replied. Nico and Grady started laughing and high fived eachother at their sort of dumb burn. Zora shook her head at them and retreated into her air vent, assuming that the argument was over.

Tawni, who was looking at herself in a compact mirror, laughed at Nico's joke, too. Any joke concerning Chad Dylan Cooper was funny to her.

"For your information, my style is high-class, cool, and dramatic. Your's is boring, lazy, and slobbish. None of you would last a week on Mackenzie Falls."

"None of us are lazy, boring, or slobbish! And we definitly could last on the show! We can be dramatic whenever we want." I defended.

"Hah, now that's a good joke."

"You laugh at things that aren't even funny."

"Like your acting? Oh wait, you said things that aren't funny."

"Glad you think my acting is funny, because it's supposed to be." I had him now.

"Damn it!" He spat to himself. "Whatever. You still couldn't last on Mack Falls."

"Alright Chad, i'll show you. I'll guest star and you watch. I can do drama."

"Well, you are the least annoying, and I would love to see you fail, so you're on."

"I'll just ask Marshall and he'll definitly choose me. But why does somebody have to guest star in the first place?" I questioned.

"Marshall said something about you guys not being so funny lately. So he figured a little drama will shapen you up. I mean, look at me, am I not shaped?"

"No." Zora's voice came from the air vent.

"Whatever, peace out." Then he walked out.

The room was silent for a while. Grady and Nico continued eating, Tawni continued staring, Zora continued venting, and I continued thinking.

Thinking about how the hell I was going to last on Mackenzie Falls for a week!
