Technically this is the first official chapter so here is the start of the story. This is random but has some strange rules involving publishing stories. Anyway here you go.
Disclaimer: I do not own BTR or the characters in the show. I do own the OCs.
Raine stared out of the limo taking her and her friends to Roque Records, the record company her dad owns. She couldn't help but wonder why her father, billionaire Arthur Griffin, would want to see her. She knew her father loved her and all but Raine was never invited anywhere with him when he was working. And with her friends!? Raine sighed.
Raine's best friend Storm looks up from her Sixteen magazine. Storm's silver eyes met Raine's green ones.
"What's up with the sigh?" Storm asked.
"It's nothing," Raine looks down at her blue and white plaid dress and began picking at a loose strand. Storm rolled her eyes. The one thing that annoyed Storm the most about her best friend was that Rayne always wore blue, black, or white only.
"Let me guess on this one. You are worried that your father caught us in some crazy scheme and wants to ship us off to boarding school, right?" Raine grimaced at the question. Storm knew her way to well. Raine made a mental note to stop telling Storm certain things.
"Puh-lease we are way too good to get caught!" Hail's voice came from the sun roof of the limo. Hail ducked her head inside the limo for a second. "Come on! We would never do anything bad enough for boarding school!" Raine scoffed at the last comment.
"You know that standing in the sunroof can get the limo a ticket," Raine said with an eye roll.
"Stop raining on my parade!" Hail yelled from the sunroof. Storm laughed and Sonny for the first time looked up from her pear phone.
"What did I miss?" Sonny had a confused look on her face but it was quickly dropped for a Sonny signature smile.
"Raine being Raine," Storm said and went back to her magazine. Sonny shrugged and continued fiddling with her phone. Hale didn't come back down. Raine looked at her friends and thought about what her dad could possibly want. Raine turned back to the loose strand and continued to pick at it.
10 minutes later
"We are here Ms. Griffin," the limo driver got out as he said this and opened the door for the four girls. Sonny bounced out first her curly hair flying. Storm shoved her magazine into her purse and got out after Sonny. Hail closely followed taking in the scene. Raine was last. She did not want to get out but she knew she had to.
"Wow this place is huge!" Hale said. The other girls couldn't help but role their eyes. Hale would never get used to the L.A. styled life the other girls lived. Her mom was an accountant in the outer parts of L.A. while the other girls had dads who produced and brothers who were teen heartthrobs. Raine suddenly wished she and Hale could trade places. Then maybe she wouldn't always have to worry about doing something wrong and being shipped off to a school in New York.
"Let's go. We don't want to leave the king waiting," Sonny said with a giggle. They all called Griffin the king for obvious reasons.
In the Studio
"Okay dogs! Griffin has asked me to meet him in his office," Gustavo said but also yelled.
"Does Griffin have an office here?" Logan asked.
"No! It is really my office!" The boys could tell Gustavo was not happy about this. "So just take a 5 minute break." The boys cheered. Gustavo headed toward his office but not before bumping into a nervous looking girl.
"HEY! Watch where you are going!" Gustavo yelled.
"Hey Uncle Gustavo!" said a voice from behind the girl. Gustavo saw his niece and two other girls behind the first girl. Gustavo looked at the first girl and realized it was Griffin's daughter.
"Gustavo!" said another voice that came from his office. It was Griffin. "Come in so we can talk. Girls you can stay outside." The other girls shrugged and walked into the room Gustavo came from.
"This is already not going well!" Rayne said.
"Nothing has happened and you dad did not seem angry," Sonny said and took a seat on a low, red couch. Storm and Hail both nodded and sat on either side of her.
Raine did not listen. "Soon we will all have one way tickets to New York to go to a boarding school and the only person we will see on holidays is my stepmother!" Raine sat on the opposite couch. Sonny went over and sat next to her. She hated to see her friends sad even if it was over something so stupid.
"Well hey, if that does happen we will still have each other!" Sonny said and patted Raine on the back. Raine responded with a high pitched noise and placed her head in her lap.
"We are not that bad!" Storm said with rage. This was absurd. They didn't even know what was going on and already Raine had begun to freak out.
"Oui, Tu es!" Raine yelled. Storm groaned along with her other two friends. When Raine begins to speak in French that means she has really lost it. Storm stormed over to the other couch. She grabbed Raine by the shoulders and shook her violently.
"Raine, NOTHING and I repeat NOTHING is going to happen. Your father just probably wants to tell us some pointless story or some stupid fact and we will be on our way!"
10 minute later
"I want you four to be my new girl band!" Griffin said enthusiastically. All the girls' mouths opened in shock.
"You want us to be your next girl band?" Storm asked still in shock.
"Yes. You and your friends will live in the Palm Woods and come here to record demos with Gustavo," Griffin told the girls.
"The Palmwoods?" Hail asked with a nervous face.
"Us a girl band?" Raine asked.
"With Gustavo Roque?" Storm asked after Raine.
"That's amazing!" Sonny said in a bright, cheery voice, "We accept!"
"WHAT!" the other three girls say at the same time.
"It is settled then. I already had a room done for you and all you stuff brought there so you can move in today!" Griffin said with a huge smile.
Raine made another high pitched noise. Storm looked at him. "So I'm guessing no was never an option?"
"Well hurry along. The limo is waiting," Griffin said as he pushed them out of the office. All the girls could manage was a small than you.
"Isn't this unbelievable!?" Sonny exclaimed still excited.
"Oh, it's something alright," Storm said and the other two girls just nodded.
At the Palmwoods
"So this is the place my dad owns," at the mention of her dad, Hail looked frantically around to see if Bitters was coming. Hail grabbed her friends and pulled them towards the pool area. The girls gaped at the pool but more importantly the people in and around it.
"What's the deal here?" Storm asked no one is particular.
"I can tell you," a voice had said, coming from nowhere. All of the girls jumped at the voice they turned to see a pudgy, red-haired boy hiding behind the bush.
"Tyler!" Sonny said with a pretty smile. The other girls looked at her in confusion. Storm knew Sonny was pretty connected but knowing a random kid at the Palmwoods was strange even for her.
"What? He was cute kid one on one of my brother's videos." Sonny's explanation was enough for the girls.
"I remember. You brother is so…" "Temperamental?"
"Okay let's talk about you*cough* hot *cough* brother later. Tell us the rundown before I feel like a total loser!" Storm said. Sonny gave her a look but Storm decided to ignore it. Storm could not deny Sonny's brother was adorable but now was not the time to argue and she was still stressed about working with her temperamental uncle.
"Okay so over there are the Jennifers," he pointed to a group of girls all in sunglasses and continued, "All three sing, model, and act. Over there is Guitar Dude." "Wait, is that his name?" Storm asked. Tyler nodded and spoke again, "That is Camille, the method actress." They all peered at the brunette girl in a shiny purple dress. She was holding a script and making dramatic arm motions. Storm raised an eyebrow while Sonny and Hail laughed. Raine just looked down at her black sandals. "Lightning the TV wonder dog, Jo the singer, and me, Tyler the juice box kid, are about all of the people you need to know."
"What about them?" Hail asked, motioning to four boys in chaises on the other side of the pool. They were all staring at the Jennifers.
"Oh, they are Big Time Rush or should I say the newest boy band at the Palmwoods," Tyler answered. The three girls nodded. Raine was now staring at the other end of the pool.
"Diving board!" Raine exclaimed as she raced over to it. She through her stuff on to a nearby chaise. She now had on blue and black tye-dye Speedo. Storm smiled. Even though Raine overreacts to everything, she is easily pleased. The other three girls went over and put there stuff down on chaises next to Raine's.
"I bet I can do a double (a/n two flips) right now," Raine said as she tightened the board.
"You cannot," Hail responded. Storm and Sonny noticed a hint of jealousy in her voice. Hail couldn't do a double like Raine.
"Fine if I lose I will unpack for you," Raine said, wanting a challenge.
"What do you get?" Hail asked.
"The satisfaction of seeing you lose!" Raine said with a laugh. She got to the end of the board and began bouncing. The girls stood at the side near the diving board. Sonny and Storm began to notice that most people at the pool were staring at Raine and them. More importantly to both of them, Big Time Rush was staring too.
"Are you going to go?" Hail yelled to Raine who was still bouncing. Raine laughed and nodded. She went back to the end of the board and put her feet at the three mark. She waited a few seconds and took some deep breathes.
"I can't wait for her to unpack for me!" Hail said. "I wouldn't be so sure," Sonny said in response. Storm nodded in agreement.
Raine took her last breath and stood up on her toes. She began her three step hurdle. She jumped at the end and flew up. In the air she threw hard and made it twice around. She landed in the water perfectly straight. Everyone at the pool was shocked. Storm guessed that not many people used the bored and the ones that did could not do anything close to what Raine just did. As Raine surface many of the people at the pool were clapping including Big Time Rush. Raine smiled and climbed out of the water.
"Well it looks like someone is unpacking and arranging for herself!" Raine said with a smile. Hail also smiled. While they were talking Sonny elbowed Storm. She motioned to the fact that the boys were coming over. One major thing Storm and Sonny had in common were there love for boys. Storm smiled and took breathe liked the one Raine took on the board. She elbowed Raine and Hail and they both looked in the direction she and Sonny were looking in. Hail also smiled but Raine just looked on. One thing Raine and Storm didn't have in common was boys. Although Raine would never tell Sonny, she was in love with Dak. Ever since he had given her a flower when she was eight, Raine was head over heals in love. Sure she flirted with guys but she didn't date them.
Storm prepared conversation in her head. She had met tons of Hollywood guys and hell she had met Hugh Jackman but these guys just seemed different. They were her ages.
Sonny tried like Storm to think of what to say. Maybe not as carefully as Storm but she still was thinking. Sonny had boyfriends before but now she was in a band. She was ready to move up.
Hail loved talking to guys but maybe not at the level of Sonny and Storm. She tried to pick out which guy to take before the other girls stole him. Something about the tall, brunette with long hair was appealing to her. She looked at her friends who were all smiling and twirling their hair. Well they were all smiling but Raine was above playing with her hair.
All the girls, even Raine, felt there heart beat faster as they approached.
Well that's all for now. I will try to post as soon as possible. Thanks for reading and reviews are helpful and much appreciated.
