Chapter One

Aria walked through the front doors of the Palmwoods and made her way to the front desk. Behind the desk was a short, plump man wearing a name tag that said "Mr. Bitters".

"Welcome to the Palmwoods! How can I help you?" he said with a smile. "Um, My name is Aria Smith and I'm supposed to be living here." Aria said nervously.

"Oh yes! I've been expecting you! You're recording with Mr. Rocque, correct?" he asked. Aria nodded. "Well you'll be in apartment 6D, I'll show you to it."

Mr. Bitters showed Aria to the elevators and brought her to her room she thanked him for his kindness and for showing her to her room.

Aria stood in her new apartment in awe. Just a few weeks ago she had been in southern Ontario, Canada and now she was in Hollywood! She sat down on her brand new couch in front of the huge TV. She needed to occupy herself before her Mom finally arrived. Aria couldn't wait to get the Palmwoods and see where she would be staying while recording so, while her mother went to get her rental car that she would be driving for the next few months. Aria's mom said she could take a cab to the Palmwoods.

Aria looked out her window. She had the view of the Palmwoods pool. From what she had read online, it was an amazing pool. She decided she'd try it out. She dragged her suitcase into her bedroom. It was fairly large, with a big bed, night stand, lamp and dresser. She set her suitcase on the bed and fished out her bathing suit and a cute dress to go over it.

She headed out the door and ran straight into a boy running down the hallway. "ooof!" she grunted as she fell back into her room.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so so so sorry!" the boy said as he helped her up off the floor. She found herself looking at a boy with the most amazing smile.

"I haven't seen you around here before…" he said raising his eyebrow.

"I just moved in here. I'm Aria." She said holding her hand out.

"I'm Logan, welcome to the Palmwoods" he said with a smile while shaking her hand. "So, where are you headed?" Logan asked.

"The pool. I hear it's awesome…"Aria said.

"That's where I'm headed too. My friends are already there, wanna come with?" he asked in a hopeful tone.

"I'd like that" Aria said with a smile and they walked to the pool together.
