Jade's House

…

Jade chewed on the tip of her black pen and sighed. She knew she had lost her cool today when she dumped that lemonade on Trina. And Beck had been right there to witness it. Now she had to do something to redeem herself, so she'd decided to let him make his stupid Top Five list after all.

But she wanted to make hers first, so she could show it to Beck at lunch the next day. Then she would watch as he made his and make sure he left out Emma Stone. The problem was, she was having a really hard time thinking of guys she'd rather kiss than Beck.

After a lot of thought, she finally settled on:

...

1. Ian Somerhalder—because he played a sexy, badass vampire and not a gay sparkling fairy like Edward. Plus he was breathtakingly gorgeous. He'd won Choice Male Hottie at the Teen Choice Awards, but "hottie" was an understatement.

2. Drake Bell—Jade had thought he was super-talented ever since she watched Drake & Josh with Cat when they were little girls. He was an amazing actor, singer, musician, and songwriter. Pretty much everything Jade wanted to be. Plus he was cute!

3. Shane Dawson—because he was her favorite YouTube star, and he had a wildly inappropriate, twisted mind, kinda like hers. She loved that he wasn't afraid to be himself, especially since that meant swearing, acting crazy, and telling a bunch of dirty jokes.

4. Trace Cyrus—because she needed someone that would fit with her punk/emo phase. Yep, Trace would definitely understand her.

5. Ryan Gosling—Jade would never admit this to anyone, but he'd made her cry when Cat got her to watch The Notebook.

...

Satisfied with her choices, Jade put down her pen and grabbed her PearPhone which was sitting on her black bedside table.

She ran her hands along her snow-leopard print comforter and straightened her black and gray pillows as she speed-dialed Danni, her best friend from middle school.

Danni didn't go to Hollywood Arts, but the two still saw each other occasionally. And they always called each other when something interesting was going on in their lives.

"Yo yo, Wicked Witch of the West, how can I help you?" Danni answered.

Jade rolled her eyes at the nickname she only allowed Danni to call her by.

"Hey, Dan…" Jade proceeded to tell her about Beck's celebrity list idea. Then she read her list to her. "What do you think?" She asked when she finished. "That took me like, twenty minutes to come up with."

Danni laughed. "I think you're putting way too much thought into this."

"Well, we live in LA. There's a good chance I might actually get to meet some of these guys." Jade said, annoyed. "And I bet Beck is gonna put even more thought into his."

"Well, in that case, that list is stupid." Danni said pointedly.

"Why?" Jade frowned in annoyance, but she knew that was why she loved Danni. She always told it like it was, just like Jade.

"Well, I mean, those guys are hot, but they're all too old for you and probably have girlfriends. Would it kill you to include at least one guy you might actually have a chance with?" Danni snapped her gum as she talked, a habit of hers that irked Jade to no end.

"I don't know…the teen stars these days are so lame! There's no way I'm gonna put Justin Bieber or some shit!"

"Okay, hang on. Let's turn on the TV and think." Danni said.

Jade grabbed her remote from her bedside table and turned on her TV, flipping through the TV guide until she finally found the Disney Channel. There was a show playing about two skinny idiot girls who thought they could dance. After watching for five minutes, Jade wanted to rip her hair out.

"Uch, this is torture! And where are the hot guys?" Jade whined into the phone.

"Yeah, seriously…Disney's turned to shit these days…whatever happened to the good ol' days when they had Lizzie McGuire and Zack and Cody?" Danni whined back.

"Wait! Zack and Cody…they're not too old!" Jade quickly opened up her laptop to look them up.

"Aren't they in New York for college now?" Danni asked.

"Oh yeah…never mind. Let's check on Nickelodeon." Jade changed the channel, and a show about a boy band (how original) came on.

"Oh, hey! What about Avan Jogia? I saw him in some Nickelodeon movie with Drake Bell, I think it was Rags. Anyway, I saw those pictures of Beck on your Slap page, and he looks exactly like Avan." Danni said.

"Hmm, lemme look this guy up…" Jade quickly Googled the name. "You think he looks like Beck? Yeah, I just don't see it. Hang on, I'm gonna watch this interview with him." Jade clicked on a YouTube link.

"Wow, I can't believe girls actually like this guy." Jade scoffed when she finished the interview. "I mean, he looks like a girl, dresses like a Jonas Brother, and has the emotional capabilities of a rock."

"Yeah…and Beck is just sooo different!" Danni teased.

"Okay, so they kinda look alike." Jade admitted. "But then why would I pick him when I can already kiss Beck?"

"Hmm, good point."

"Hey, are you watching Nickelodeon right now? The guys in that boy band are pretty hot." Jade squinted at her TV, trying to decide which band member was the most attractive.

"Big Time Rush? Yeah, they're totally hot! Which one do you like?" Danni asked.

"The one with the dark, spiky hair." Jade finally decided.

"Logan? Yeah, he's definitely the cutest!" Danni squealed. "What? My little sister watches that show…that's how I know."

"Uh huh…you know, I don't think they'd like the fact that you're hiding your love for them; you should be a proud Rusher!" Jade laughed.

"Oh, shut up, you know they're cute!" Danni laughed as well.

The show went on a commercial break and Jade raised the remote to turn the TV off, but then paused when she saw an extremely attractive guy in a trailer for some kids' movie.

"Oh. My. God. Are you seeing what I'm seeing right now?" Jade managed to choke out.

"What, the trailer for the next Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie? Yeah, my sister's obsessed with those books…I should probably take her to see it."

"Take me with you!" Jade blurted out. "Did you see how sexy that guy in the trailer was? I'd throw Beck under a bus just to be in the presence of that guy!" Okay, that was an exaggeration. She was just trying to sound cool.

"Oh, you mean the guy who plays the wimpy kid's older brother? Yeah, he's pretty cute."

"Pretty cute? He's a sex god! Hang on, lemme look him up." Jade Googled Diary of a Wimpy Kid Movie, and finally found the guy who played the older brother, Devon Bostick.

He was perfect. He looked like a younger, less muscular version of Ian Somerhalder. And Jade was fine with the less muscular part. She had a thing for scrawny guys—they were less intimidating, and that made them easier to dominate. His only flaw was that he was also from Canada.

"Oh my God, it says on this site that he'll be doing a meet and greet in Hollywood this weekend at the premiere of that Wimpy Kid movie!" Jade couldn't believe how stupid and fangirl-y she sounded. "It's probably stupid though." She cleared her throat, trying to redeem herself before Danni made fun of her.

"Oh my God. Put him on your list!" Danni said urgently.

"What?" Jade turned off her TV so she could hear her better.

"Just put him! We are so going to that premiere this weekend…and Beck's gonna wish he's never even mentioned the idea of that list!" Danni said mischievously. Jade could practically hear her smirk through the phone.

She picked up her pen, crossed off Ryan Gosling's name and replaced it with Devon Bostick's.

Well, this could be fun.

…

A/N: Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your reviews! I can't believe I got 25 reviews for this spur-of-the-moment idea I got just last week…guess you guys really liked it! Let's try to beat 25 for this chapter, shall we? And tell me what you thought of Jade's choices/considerations! :D

Also, if you'd like, tell me who would be on your Top Five Celebrity list! (I'm guessing at least one of you will list all five members of One Direction :P) ...For me, since I'm an 80's movie buff, all my celebrity crushes are old now. So I'd need a time machine if I wanted to kiss any of them, lol.

But if I had to pick present-day celebs, they'd probably be the same as Jade's…except for Trace Cyrus.

PS: Did anyone else go see the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies 'cause of Devon Bostick? I'm 19 and I did that…but I have a little sister, so taking her was my excuse. :)
