They were in an alley. They had been running as fast as they could just to get away from them. They had turned. Dead end. The five teens turned around to see a bunch of girls closing in on them. The leader of the five teens, Kendall, quickly put his hands up, forming the letter T.
"Time out!" He said panicky. The angry girls froze. His friends looking at him.
~FLASHBACK~
Kendall Knight, James Diamond, Carlos Garcia, Logan Mitchell, and Alyssa Tanners were standing in front of the T bar that the janitor had left in the sprinkler valve. The boys were planning on soaking the girls' field hockey team. Alyssa just stood there listening to her four idiotic best friends.
"Opportunities like this come once in a lifetime, and when they do you gotta grab that thing and turn it big time." Kendall said. Logan looked at Kendall and pointed at the T bar.
"Turn it and I predict ninety percent chance of bodily harm and I'm talking about us," He pointed towards the field. "Not them."
"Wimp!" Carlos raised his voice, slapping on his helmet before trying to turn the T bar.
"Ugh, It's stuck." Carlos exclaimed. James, who had been combing his hair the whole time and hadn't been paying attention, spoke up.
"I had my pop star dream again last night and this time I was wearing my lucky white V-neck and I sang a Smokey Robinson song." At this, Kendall and Alyssa rolled their eyes and James began singing.
"Tracks of my tears, yeah, yeah- What are we doing?" He said, cutting off his own singing and looking at Carlos. Kendall answered.
"Uh, janitor left the T bar in the sprinkler valve and do you want to help us soak the girls field hockey team?" Kendall said, gesturing to the T bar.
"Yeah!" James said, smiling while he and Kendall put their bags down and joined Carlos at the T bar. The 3 of them all looked back at Alyssa and Logan. Logan shrugged.
"I gotta get new friends." He said putting the bag down. The four boys then turned to Alyssa. She shook her head.
"No, no, no, no, no. There is NO way I'm helping you guys with this. I mean, I like pranking people, especially girls that I absolutely HATE, but Logan is right, WE'RE going to be the ones getting hurt!" She yelled. The boys shrugged but turned the T bar anyways. Standing up, the boys started laughing but as soon as they heard screaming girls, the four boys grabbed Alyssa's arm and dragged her away while running for their lives. They ran and the soaking wet girls were hot on their tails. James shouted to his friends while running.
"This what it's going to be like when I'm famous! Only the girls won't be trying to kill me!" He yelled. Alyssa, who was behind him, yelled back.
"This isn't the time for your fantasies James!" She yelled to the taller boy. The five hid in a nearby dumpster. As soon as the girls field hockey team passed, the friends came out and looked at Carlos who was eating a sandwich. Before anyone could say anything, the screaming was once again heard and the five jumped out of the dumpster and started running again. They turned into an alley and kept running. Dead end. The five teens turned around to see a bunch of girls closing in on them. Kendall quickly put his hands up, forming the letter T.
"Time out!" He said panicky. The angry girls froze. His friends were looking at him. He looked at Carlos.
"Give James the helmet." Carlos did as told.
"Right."
"We gotta protect the face." Kendall then said. James put on the helmet, sliding down the face protector.
"I love you guys." James commented.
"What about me! I'm the girl here!" Alyssa shouted. Kendall turned to the angry mob.
"At least let Alyssa out, she did nothing! I swear we wanted to help but she said as much as she hated you, she didn't want to help us turn the sprinklers on." He said. Alyssa nodded. The girls sighed and made a little pathway for Alyssa to get out. But as soon as she passed through, the opening closed and the angry girls looked back at the boys, holding their hockey sticks in the air. Kendall shrugged nervously.
"Time in?" He said in more of a questioning voice. And, like she had many times before, Alyssa just stood there and watched her best friends get whacked with hockey sticks.
The five best friends were sitting in the living room of Kendall's house. The boys, except James, were groaning in pain. Alyssa was sitting in James lap, because he was the only one who wasn't hurt and there was nowhere else to sit in the tiny living room they were sitting in. 'When I Grow Up' by the Pussycat dolls was playing on the television.
"Pussycat Dolls make the pain go away." Kendall said.
"Yeah right…" Alyssa mumbled under her breath.
"They do!" Kendall shot back at her as she held up her hands in surrender. James was staring at the T.V.
"I'm gonna marry her someday." James said dreamily.
"You're gonna marry Nicole Scherzinger?" Logan asked. "How?"
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no…" Kendall, Carlos, and Alyssa said before James moved Alyssa to Kendall's lap and stood up on the living room table.
"I'm gonna be famous! Sing at sold out arenas, have like, 5 houses. Make the girls go crazy!" He said, holding up five fingers then singing the last sentence and spinning around. "And then, marry Nicole."
"Are you done? Please be done." Logan begged.
"No because her comes the part where I shake my booty!" James said, jumping on the couch in-between Kendall who was holding Alyssa, and Logan then shaking his but in Logan's face. All while singing an "I'm gonna be famous!" song .
"Carlos." Alyssa said before Kendall got the chance to.
"Got it." Carlos replied slapping on his helmet, and tackling James to the ground. Alyssa started laughing as Carlos and James started fighting behind the couch. Kendall and Logan just shrugged and looked back to the T.V., where a man popped up on the screen.
"Do you wanna be a pop star?" The man said pointing to the camera. James and Carlos jumped up from behind the couch.
"I wanna be famous!" James said. The announcer continued.
"Well now's your chance if you're in, Minnesota! Are you ready?" He said.
"I'm in Minnesota!" James said, standing up.
"I'm gonna be the next Gwen Stephanie!" A high pitched voice came from the TV. A blonde girl was there holding a sign and jumping up and down.
"That's Jenny Tinkler from home room!" Kendall said as he, Logan, and Alyssa stood up and James and Carlos jumped back over the couch and stood beside them.
"Gustavo Rocque, 90's mega producer of bands like Boy Quake, Boyz In The Attic, and Boyz City is looking for his new pop superstar. He's even more famous for his quote in Rolling Stone, when he said 'I could turn a dog into a pop star!'."
"I-I sing better than a dog!" James motioned to himself. The announcer said the last thing.
"Sign ups are until 5pm so-" He was cut off when the TV was turned off and everyone looked at the clock.
"Call all moms now!" Kendall said. Everyone took out their phones and dialed their moms' number. The teens all shouted into their phones at once.
"Mom! Call me when you get this message! We need a ride real bad!" They all said. They hung up, put their phones on the table and sat down, waiting for someone's cell to ring. Not even after 2 seconds, James yelled.
"RING!" He shouted. And to their surprise, a phone started blaring out. All five of them stood up and Carlos grabbed his cell phone, answering and holding the phone to his ear.
"Hello?... Yeah?... Uh huh!... Great! Get here as fast as you can!" Carlos said happily into the phone.
"Your mom's coming!" James cheered.
"No! But this nice lady is sending her crew over to give us a free estimate on aluminum siding!" Carlos said excitedly. James' happiness quickly turned to anger and he tackled Carlos back over the back of the couch. A vase was thrown in Logan's direction almost hitting him and breaking at the contact when it hit the wall.
"Kendall!" Logan said.
"Oh, oh!" Kendall said quickly going to Logan and putting and arm over Logan's shoulder. "Logan has a learners permit!" He half said/shouted. Carlos and James stopped.
"But I need an adult in the car with me and a car!" Logan said. The door opened and Alyssa walked in. The four boys looked at her confusedly. No one had noticed her go out.
"I can help you with that! Go get changed and follow me! I'll drive you." She said.
"But what about a-" Logan was cut off by Alyssa.
"I got my driver's licence yesterday! And when you were trying to come up with a plan, I went next door and asked Mrs. Majikowski if I could borrow her car! Now let's go!" She exclaimed. And the boys hurried off to get changed.
Alyssa parked the car and everyone was out of the car in a flash. James ran inside the building while Kendall, Alyssa, Carlos, and Logan ran after him. The first thing the four saw once they had gotten in the building was James who had a number stuck to his chest and was holding a clipboard. The five teens cheered together until seconds later they heard yelling and turned to the door to see two security guards carrying Jenny Tinkler, who was yelling and kicking, away.
"He's a liar! I'm a star! I'm gonna be the next Gwen Stephanie! Ah- Oh, hi guys." Jenny said.
"Hi Jenny…" The friends said together. Jenny went back to her yelling.
"He's evil! I'm a star! A star!" She cried. An African-American women showed up in front of Logan.
"You. Name?" She asked. Logan looked at her confused.
"Me? No… I'm gonna be a doctor." He said smiling slightly.
"Well I'm a desperate talent scout, you have a cute smile, and Justin Timberlake made 44 million dollars last year." The women said. Logan thought it over a second.
"Hit me." He said, pointing to his chest. The women slapped a number on him, gave him a clipboard and moved on to Carlos.
"I wanna be famous too! Whoa oh…" Carlos started singing when the woman gave him a number and a clipboard. She moved to Kendall.
"You. Tall, blonde and eyebrows, do you want your dreams to come true today?" She asked. Kendall smiled.
"Sorry, my dream is to play center for the Minnesota wild. But I'll also consider the maple leafs…" He said.
"Oh." The woman said before slapping a number on him anyways. Lastly, she moved on to Alyssa.
"Hi! Do you want to audition?" She smiled brightly and the brown haired girl. Alyssa sighed.
"With what just happened to Kendall, I'm thinking you're not going to take no as an answer. So sure, why not?" She said, crossing her arms. The woman gave Alyssa her number and started walking back. Before disappearing, she turned to James.
"810 is next." She said, before walking back through the doors. James gulped and looked down at his number. Sure enough, it was 810. He looked at Logan and quickly switched numbers with him.
"Oh look! You're next!" James said. Carlos tapped Logan on the shoulder.
"Dude, you don't sing!" He said.
"Carlos, that was the worst pep talk in history. Luckily, I'm a genius. I'll think of something. Kendall?" Logan said looking directly at Carlos the whole time. Without hesitation, Kendall replied.
"Beat box."
"Got it." Logan said before shoving his clipboard at Carlos, taking off his sweater, and walking through the doors. The other four went and sat down. James closest to the door, then Carlos, Kendall and lastly, Alyssa. After about a minute or two, they heard screaming coming from inside the room Logan had went into. And Logan walked out with a petrified look on his face. Logan sat down before turning towards his friends.
"Don't go in there!" He whispered. "He's a Satan. He's a Satan with bug-eyed Sunglasses!" Logan finished before moving into a fatal position and started crying.
"811." The group heard the woman from before said. James then switched numbers with Carlos. After Carlos came back, happily said that he wasn't going to Hollywood, and then women came out once again to say that 812 was next, James switched numbers with Alyssa who didn't moved. Although she did talk.
"Diamond, switch our numbers back or your precious hair will be gone by morning." The petit girl spat. James yelped, switched back and then tried switching with Kendall. But before he could, Kendall Slapped his hand over his number, so James couldn't switch.
"James, this is your dream, not mine. Remember, opportunities like this come once in a lifetime. Now, grab onto that dream with both hands, and go big time!" He said pushing James to the door. Kendall, Alyssa, Carlos and Logan snuck into the auditorium and hid behind the seats to watch James. James shyly moved his hair out of the way before singing. His friends were smiling, silently cheering him on. Then, James looked into the record producers eyes and messed up his line. Then, Gustavo said his little speech about James having no talent. Before anyone could stop him, Kendall shot out of his seat.
"No talent? No talent? You're the one with no talent, you haven't had a hit in ten years!" Kendall shouted at Gustavo.
"Hey, Girl to my heart by Boy Quake was a hit 9 years ago!" The producer shot back.
"Oh, girl to my heart. Uh, let me see if I can remember that rock classic." Kendall said, pretending to think before he started singing and then jumping onto the table.
"Whoa, whoa security!" The African-American called after Kendall literally knocked Gustavo out of his seat.
"Here's a new hit for ya. Oh you're such a turd, oh yeah a giant turd, and you look like a turd and you smell like a turd. Hey! Hey! Get off me!" Kendall sang the shouted as the security tried pulling him away. Carlos looked at Logan.
"Okay, what's the worst that can happen if I try to get him free?" Carlos asked. Logan quickly thought about it.
"Uhh... Juvenile?... One prior for mooning?..." He said, trying to remember. Alyssa finished for him.
"20 hours community service." She said.
"Thanks…" Logan said quietly.
"I can live with that." Carlos said before running off to tackle the security guards. James silently put the microphone he was holding back on the stand. Then he walked to the edge of the stage, and jumped onto a security guy's back.
"I gotta get new friends." Logan said quietly. He looked at Alyssa and the two exchanged quick glances before they both walked over to the commotion. Logan immediately started trying to get the security away from Kendall although he was failing miserably. Alyssa walked over to Gustavo.
" I am so, so sorry about Kendall there, but he was just trying to stand up for James. I have a suggestion, maybe you should just be a little nicer… I you hadn't said that James had no talent then Kendall wouldn't have attacked you like that. Again, I'm sorry about him, I'm a big fan, but I gotta help my friends." Alyssa said nicely before running over to a security guard and jumping on his back.
"Let... Go... Of… My… Friends!" She yelled angrily.
