Chapter 1: Photography
"Matty!" screamed a smiling blonde girl, jumping up, throwing her thin arms around the younger teen.
"Misa." Smiling slightly, the redhead patted her on the head, motioning for the pop idol to sit down.
"Oh, Matty, I missed you while I was in Japan!" Misa smiled, bright hazel eyes looking at the orange lenses, trying to make eye contact.
"Me too, Misa. How was it?" he asked politely, gathering the brushes, powders, creams he needed.

"Oh, how's Light?" Matt asked, evening out Misa's already near perfect complexion.
"He's fine. He's gonna be here soon for make-up anyways." Misa closed her eyes, Matt brushing on brown eyeshadow onto her pale eyelids.
"Matt put on too light a color for Miss Amane." said the monotonous voice of Near, the silver haired boy walking over to the pair.

"Hmm, really?" Matt muttered, rolling his eyes behind the orange plastic.
"Yes. Miss Amane is needed to have a tomboy look in this photo shoot, and Matt made Miss Amane's eyes not stand out enough." Near explained, walking away.
"Jesus Christ." muttered Matt, brushing a deeper onyx on Misa. "Ok now, open your eyes just a tad, Misa. Ok, thanks. Umm...close for a minute..there we go, thank you Misa. No,no, keep those eyes closed!" He instructed the girl, using a brush to paint on cream eyeliner on her top lid.
"Hey Misa, Matt." Light called, walking into the studio.
"Ok, you can open your eyes now, Misa. Hey Light, long time no see." Matt smiled slightly, watching the pop idol jump up, and hug her boyfriend tightly.

"Yeah, tour in Japan to promote the movie." the brunette sat down in a chair, yawning.
"Ok, Lemme finish Misa here, and I'll do you up, Light." Matt said, dabbing on coral lipstick on Misa, adding black glittery mascara to her lashes, and directing her to Matsuda for her hairstyling.
"We have 30 minutes until the photo shoot. Light, Misa, please hurry up." Near called, from the front.
"I hate that bastard." muttered Light, as Matt airbrushed foundation on the older man's face.
"Most people do. But he's good at his job." Matt admitted, cheerfully looking around.
"'Kay. See you around." Light stood up, smiled, and walked over to Matsuda.
"I see Matt has finished his work for the day." came a voice from behind him, easily startling the boy.
"Whoa, L, you scared me!" Matt sighed, putting a hand over his striped shirt, where his heart was located.

"There you go, now, arm around Light, yeah, like that...more sass...yeah, perfect Misa! Light, c'mon man, lean forward a bit...stop...yeah, that's awesome!" The photographer, Linda said happily.
"We're done for today!" L said into the microphone, observing the photo session, Matt beside him.
"So, what's this movie gonna be about anyways?" Matt asked, watching the cheery blonde girl run off to a change, yelling about having to do a singing in an hour, yelling various 'Byes' and 'I love yous' everywhere.
"She's the movie's about a girl named Viola who cross dresses to get into an academy's soccer team and ends up falling in love with her roommate who loves Olivia, and the girl is in love with Viola, thinking she's a guy. It's based off Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. " L explained, waving a thick script in front of Matt.
"So, Misa is playing Viola, and Light is Duke. Typical." Matt laughed, looking down the names of the actors.
"Wait, who's playing Sebastian?" he asked after scanning over the first few pages.
"We have no idea yet, but I'll announce it tomorrow when we start filming." L said, catching Light's eye as the walked together, apparently discussing the movie.
Not. It was obvious to everyone but Misa, but Light was cheating on her. With L. In various closets, empty rooms. Loudly.
'Man, is that girl retarded.' thought Matt, waving bye, and getting into his red car, a smile on his face.
"I wonder who'll play Sebastian though." he muttered, driving off to his house in downtown LA.
"What the fuck, you damn cunt?" yelled a blonde man, icy blue eyes glaring as he stomped downstairs of his newly bought 2.5 million dollar mansion in LA.
"Shut it, Mello. You have an audition for She's The man." Mikami rolled his eyes, glaring back at his friend, and client.
"Suck a dick, why would I audition for that pussy play, anyways?" Mello sighed, pissed off.
Name: Mihael 'Mello' Keehl
Occupation: Singer, model
Age: 20
Intelligence: Highly genius
Status: Single
Birthday: December 13
"It'll be your acting debut." the black haired man calmly said.
"Wanker! I'm a fucking singer, not an actor, fucktard!" Mello rolled his eyes, pulling at a rosary around his neck.
"Well, this will expand your borders, and you'll get more fans." Mikami sighed."And more money." he added.
"I'm only doing this for the cash. Who the hell am I auditioning for, anyways?"
"Sebastian Hastings. The movie is called She's the man."
"Sounds fucking gay."
"It's a remake of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night."
"Where are the auditions, anyways?"
"Wammy's studios."
"Where the fuck is that?"
Mikami sighed, giving the blonde the directions, watching as he ran back to his room to grab a jacket, and strut over to the garage.
"Oh, and Mikami. Get the fuck out of my house." Mello called over as he straddled his motorcycle, and raced away to where the auditions were taking place.
"Alright. Thank you for coming out and auditioning. I am L, the director. Now, please state your name, age, what scene you are reading." L spoke, eating a piece of cake.
20 boys were lined up at the studio, waiting to audition. Mello sighed, looking around, glaring at whoever stared at him. He stood out compared to the other actors, who wore jeans and t-shirts and converse. He himself wore a typical black tank-top, tight leather pants, combat boots and leather jacket. Black eyeliner and nail polish completed the look, as Mello sighed for the millionth time that day.
"Ok, next." L called boredly.
"Hi. I'm Mihael Keehl, call me Mello. I'm 20, and I'm gonna read the scene where Sebastian leaves for England." Mello smirked, reading the lines perfectly.
"You are hired, Mello." L said, as the other actors glared at the boy, and left.
"Thanks, L." Mello smiled.
"Filming starts tomorrow at 9. And Mello, please don't wear the nail polish and eyeliner."
"Fine, fine. Thanks again!" With a smirk, Mello strutted away, script in hand all eyes on him.
"Who was that, L?" Matt asked, looking at the blonde.
"That is the man who is playing Sebastian, Mello."
"You mean MELLO?" Misa yelled out, suddenly appearing with a smile on her face.
"You know him?" Matt asked.
"Duh, everyone knows Mello. He's a popular singer now." Misa pulled out her iPod, handing an earphone to Matt.
"Push the limit, are you with it, baby, don't be afraid
Imma hurt you real good baby
Let's go, it's my show, baby, do what I say
Don't trip off the glitz that I'm gonna display
I told ya, Imma hold ya down until you're amazed
Give it to ya til your screamin' my name"
Mello's voice rang out, and Matt looked over at Mello's back.
"Dayum." he muttered, smirking slightly.
"He's quite a racy performer. His music videos are rather provocative." Linda said, the photographer giggling lightly.
"I know, eh?" Misa giggled also, Light rolling his eyes, as he looked at Matt.
Ok, there we have it, first chapter of Backstage.
The song is 'For Your Entertainment' by Adam Lambert. Really, Adam Lambert reminds me of Mello so much, and I fangirl love them the same!!
Heehee, please leave me a review :)
