Animal I've Been Come

Chapter 1

Gabi McCoy crosses her arms across her chest as she tilts her head to the right and just glares across the conference room table at Gustavo. To show how annoyed she is at him, she snaps the gum she is chewing.

Gustavo just glares back at the five foot two, rocker, black and red haired girl sitting across from him who used to be a beautiful blonde girl.

"Ok, I'm here, what do you want?" Gabi asks him annoyed.

At that moment Kelly walks in the room with Griffin.

"Sorry if I'm late," Griffin says to Gustavo. "I had to go get some warm pants,"

"Don't worry, you are just in time," Gustavo tells him.

Griffin then glances at Gabi sitting at the other end of the table.

"Am I seeing things, or did she really get her nosed pierced?" Griffin asks as he looks at her.

Gabi just gives him a sarcastic smile before continuing her death glare at him and the rest of the people in front of her.

"Ok then, lets get started," Gustavo says. "Kelly, hand me the first CD,"

Kelly opens up a file folder she is holding and hands Gustavo a CD. Gustavo then holds it up and on it is a picture of her from last year, still being blonde and beautiful along with her name and the CD title Me Against The World. He then puts it on the table and slides it towards her.

"Ok, why am I looking at this piece of crap CD?" Gabi asks him annoyed as she leans forward and pushes it away.

Gustavo and Griffin just look at the girl sitting in front of them who once was a great role model and amazing singer, and all they see is the new her, black haired, heavy eye liner, black finger nails, don't give a damn attitude her.

"That CD is yours," Griffin says. "It came out last year, right after you performed with Eminem on the Today show the song Love The Way You Lie,"

"I know," Gabi says annoyed.

She then snaps her gum again just to annoy the three people she was glaring at standing in front of her.

"look at these songs," Griffin says as he leans forward and flips the CD over to look at the song list of the back. "Right Here, Slipped Away, My World, Stand In The Rain, I Learned From You,"

"why are you naming off the crappy songs off that crappy CD?" Gabi asks as she continues to glare.

"This Is Me," Griffin says ignoring her comment. "that is the song that got you out there in the first place, its what made Gabi McCoy,"

"no, its what made another pop wannabe preppy girl," Gabi says annoyed. "its not what made Gabi McCoy,"

Griffin just looks at the annoying seventeen-year-old girl in front of him.

"anyway," Gustavo says. "the lyrics on these songs, there innocent and fun and perfect for kids, ages nine through seventeen,"

"again, where the hell are you going with this?" Gabi asks annoyed as she snaps her gum again. "I have a life,"

"Kelly, hand me the article," Gustavo says.

Kelly reaches into her file folder and hands Gustavo an article from an Internet website and Gustavo puts it on the table and pushes it in front of her.

Gabi just looks down at it with no emotion then looks back up.

"why am I looking at this?" she asks him.

"what are you doing in that picture?" Griffin asks as he crosses his arms.

"I am punching Vanessa Hudgens in the face," Gabi answers him.

"why did you punch Vanessa Hudgens in the face?" Griffin asks her mad.

"because she was being annoying," Gabi answers him.

"so you punched her in the face?" Griffin asks her.

"yeah," Gabi replies simply to him. "If you ask me, someone really needed to, I am so tired of hearing about her and Zac Efron, and all those other stupid Disney stars, who the hell even likes High School Musical, it's the stupidest thing out there,"

"ok, listen McCoy," Griffin says through gritted teeth as he glares at the girl in front of him who just looks back emotionlessly.

"whoa…" Gustavo says. "Griffin, take a seat, I think I can take it from here,"

Griffin sits down at the table.

"ok, Gabi, why we called you here is because you need to look at yourself," Gustavo says. "look at you, your hair is black with red in it, you are wearing a dark red and black stripped shirt, black mini skirt, black boots, all that eye liner,"

"ok, I know what I am wearing and what make up is on my face," Gabi interrupts him. "just get to the point,"

"look at the CD in front of you," Gustavo tells her.

Gabi looks down again to see her sixteen-year-old self when she was blonde and happy. Gustavo then grabs the folder from Kelly and places a picture on the table of the blonde her and Kendall where they are happy and smiling.

Gabi instantly pushes it away.

"don't make me gag," she says.

"ok, here is the deal," Gustavo says. "you are not who you are, you are not the pretty teen great role model everyone loves, you are a gothic chick who everyone thinks is insane, what do you have to say for that,"

"time has changed me," Gabi says before snapping her gum again.

"Gabi, four months ago, you were this beautiful teen queen who everyone loved and wanted to be," Gustavo says. "you were gorgeous, famous, and humble, now you are gothic, creepy and a snob, we can't sell this image, we need to fix it,"

"where are you going with this?" Gabi asks annoyed. "I have places to be,"

"listen to me for one minute," Gustavo says mad at her. "what the hell happened to the old you, four months ago, everyone wanted to be you, now ever since that breakup with that monkey dog, you have changed"

Gabi quickly stands up causing her chair to fall backward. She puts her hands on the table and leans forward.

"you don't want to go there," Gabi says intimidating, "and you don't want to mention that son of a bitch in front of me, or my fist will connect with your face, got it, I already punched Vanessa Hudgens for less, don't think I wont punch you Gustavo,"

Gustavo just glares at her and Griffin stands up.

"that is what we are talking about," Griffin says mad. "we cant have you glamorizing this animal you've become, now, you either go back to the old Gabi McCoy, the teen queen who everyone loved, or you can continue being the bitchy new one and I will fire you,"

"at least I don't do drugs, I don't drink, and sleep with random guys whose names I don't even know like Miley does now," Gabi says through gritted teeth, "I am still clean, sober, and would be a virgin if what didn't happen to me over a year ago happened,"

Gabi then takes her hands off the table and grabs the picture of her and Kendall and tears it in half without taking her eyes off Griffin or Gustavo.

"I honestly don't give a damn what people think about me, this is real, this is me, this is exactly where I'm supposed to be, now I'm am going to let the freaking light shine on me," Gabi says stubbornly "I've finally found who I am, there is no way to hold it in, no more hiding who I want to be, this is me, understand that, I am not going to change,"

"we just want to know why you changed," Kelly says stepping forward trying to relieve the tension between the three of them. "four months ago, everything was going great,"

"four months ago, I was dating that stupid idiot from your stupid boy band, Big Time Rush," Gabi says spitefully. "now I'm not, this is who I am, deal with it,"

Gabi then grabs her bag off the table, throws it over her shoulder and walks out of the room.
