How's the first one? Good, bad? Well, here's the 2nd chapter. This time do comment alright? I'm not sure if I should continue or not. Thanks, MsSimplyFullOfFlaws. *wink*


I'm wearing my stretchy, scrunched styling, high shine finish and edgy liquid leggings with silk spaghetti strap top with an inverted pleat running along the center, made also with a self-tie belt which fitted me perfectly. I'm supposed to meet Gustavo today and Kelly is already waiting me at the lobby. I move on to the elevator and saw Kelly talking to three guys. Without any hesitation, I walk over to them and wave to Kelly.

"Hi Kelly!"

"Makayla! Morning sweetie. How's Palm Woods?"

"Awesome."

I then turn to the three guys, who are still standing in front of Kelly. My eyes landed on James presence and I smiled.

"Hi James!"

I wave to him after Kelly walk away to answer her call. It's probably Gustavo yelling in her ear asking why she's late and asked her to hurry up. Gustavo, he's a very loud person. And personally, I really hate loud people.

"So, you are the new girl name Makayla that Kendall and James met yesterday and we didn't?"

"Seems like it,"

"I'm Logan and this is Carlos."

I shook hands with the both of them after he introduce himself.

"I'm Makayla. I just moved here from San Francisco."

"You live alone?"

"Seems like it."

I answered Carlos and then the blonde guy run towards us. He's panting and sweating a little as me, the boys and Kelly stared at him. My first thought was, why did he suddenly came here?

"Kendall! You're late. Let's go Makayla, guys."

"Wait, wait, wait! Why are they coming with us Kelly?"

Kelly looks at me with her eyebrows up. It's an expression she gives me as in you-already-know-about-it-and-you're-still-asking. My jaw literally drop as I have no idea of why they should come along.

"Makayla, this is Big Time Rush. The band which I have told you about. They're also recording a demo with Gustavo."

"But why are they coming with us? Now."

"Gustavo wants them to practice their dance for their performance tomorrow."

"So, I'm not going to work with them or anything right?"

"Not today."

"Cool. Let's go."

I followed Kelly to the limo and we arrive at Rocque Records in another half and hour. I'm now walking with James, Logan and Carlos.

"So Ms San Francisco, you're a singer, in a band?"

"Yeah. And I'm also working on writing on my own songs."

"Wow, you're great."

"Thanks Logan. What about you guys?"

"We're still practicing on our dancing, especially Kendall."

"I'm sorry for not dancing to the beat James. It's natural talent!"

Kendall said loudly, being 100% sarcastic. We then step into Gustavo office and I'm the first one to sit on the chair.

"Hi Gustavo!"

"Ms,"

"Call me Makayla!"

"Okay okay. Makayla, you're going to sing a song that I've written for you today. It's called 'Ego'."

"Here are the lyrics."

Kelly handed me the papers and I flip through it. I look through the chorus while listening to the song that Gustavo just turned on. It's only an instrumental song without any vocal. Maybe I could sing the chorus first?

"And now you want to pretend that you're a superstar

And now you want us to end what's taken you this far

Don't tell me that you're done as far as we go

You need to have a sit down with your ego

When everyone's gone and you're all by yourself

You know that you're going to come to me for help

Don't tell me that it's time for going solo

You need to knock some sense into your ego "

I look up to Gustavo and Kelly. All of them clapped for me, even Kendall. But now he's crossing his arms, waiting for people to stop getting impressed with my singing. Obviously, he's jealous. Of me.

"Gustavo, why are we supposed to be here?"

"Oh yes, dogs! You have a dance practice for 5 hours right here. You have to get all the moves right because tomorrow Griffin wants to see you guys singing your new song! And performed it!"

"But we practiced yesterday!"

Logan and Carlos whined. James is combing his hair while Kendall still looks glum.

"And did Kendall get it all right? No! So you need more practice until it's perfect!"

"He can never get the steps right!"

James complained and everyone started blabbering as I watch them so. The only one quiet is me. A whistle then shuts everyone up and turns to look at Kelly.

"Makayla is an awesome dancer and if in another 3 more hours Kendall or anybody still have problems with the steps, she's going to help you guys out. Understood?"

"Alright."

They all muttered and went out of the office. Now how did I get sucked into this? I'm a singer not an awesome dancer or whatsoever! And Kendall is the horrible dancer who can't get his steps right and I am supposingly going to teach him how to dance? Oh my gosh, this can't be happening. Not to me! I'm not a good trainer or teacher, ever.

"Kelly! Why me?"

"Because you're a great dancer and he needs a great dancer to teach him how to dance."

"But!"

"We need you Makayla, or the music division will be done."

Kelly begged me. I turn to Gustavo and he gives me a look which instantly makes me feel pity of him. And if all this is done, then I left San Francisco for nothing. And I don't want that something to be nothing. I want to be a star and it's going to happen.


My practice with Gustavo is going on great. Only for the whole 3 hours of recording and I'm used to his noise. As for Kelly, she has been showing me a thumb up while Gustavo shows me a smile. And that already mean so much to me. I then stepped out of the recording room and meet with Kelly and Gustavo.

"So, what happens now?"

"You need to help out the boys. They're dying in there."

"Now?"

"Yes!"

Kelly exclaimed and push me all the way to the dance studio. By the meaning of them is only left with Kendall. He's sweating while sitting down on the ground, leaning against the wall. The others are nowhere to be seen, probably have gone back to Palm Woods. Kelly left me just like that as I walk into the studio.

"How did it go?"

I try to sound casual but I don't think he'd get that. Kendall would totally think that I still hate him for everything but actually, I'm an easy person. I try to let bygones be just bygones and learn how to forgive and forget. So, about yesterday's accident I think I can let that go too. I don't even know him and we already hate each other? That just doesn't make any sense.

"Don't go acting with me. You're not an actress."

"Kendall, I'm trying to be nice to you and everyone but why have you been hating on me? I'm sorry about yesterday and I didn't mean to do it."

"Right. So now, you're trying to steal all of my friend's attention away."

"I'm not!"

"It's a statement, not a question Makayla."

"Kendall, you're, you're not that good in dancing and I'm here to help you out. So that, this band of yours and everything here still exists after tomorrow! So can you please put aside every personal feelings you have to think about, all of these?"

I showed him the whole place, knowing that he wouldn't have the heart to kill Rocque Records. Or that's what I thought. But he doesn't seem to care about this band thing or, what he's doing this for. I just don't want this place to shut down when I just reach here. I may sound selfish and self-centered but what about Kelly and Gustavo? Where would they go after this? God, Kendall answer me already! You're killing me emotionally.

"Fine."

"Great!"

"But on one condition."

"What?"

"Meet me tomorrow morning at 8am at the lobby."

"For what?"

"I'm not a good dancer and I always,"

"I'll help you out. I'll do whatever it takes to make you get everything right."

"Good luck."

He wished me and we practiced till 6pm. We walk out of the building and take the limo, that Kelly have reserved for us, to get back to Palm Woods. Kendall did almost get 98% of it right. That's actually a great improvement. Before he was only at 20% but now, he have risen 78%. I take another gulp of water from his bottle before passing it back to him.

"Thanks Kendall."

"What for?"

"Understanding me and listening to what I've always tell you."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not the girl who people really understand easily. Like when I tell you how to do the part for the chorus, I think most of them will think that I'm trying to make them kill themselves."

"Really? Nobody understand you that well?"

"Yeah. I mean, most of them don't. Only my sister and friends understand me, most of the time."

"I think you're a great trainer than Mr. X really is."

"I'm not. I just don't like dancing like I love singing."

"Oh."

"And I'm sorry."

"You already thanked me and now you want to apologized?"

"About yesterday. I didn't mean to laugh and push you down into the pool. That must be so humiliating right?"

"And you're asking me that?"

"Kendall, I really am sorry. I just don't want you to hate me or what so ever."

"Too bad, I already did."

Just like that he went out of the limo since we've reach Palm Woods. He went up immediately without even notice Logan, Carlos and James by the pool, talking to some other girls. I wanted to follow him but the three of them already blocked my way. I sigh and look at them with my eyebrows raised.

"Yes guys?"

"How did Kendall do?"

"He's great Logan, no pressure. But I think he's dead tired right now."

"And you're not Ms San Francisco?"

"Of course I am Carlos. And I really need to get back to shower and hit the bed. There's school tomorrow."

"Hey, you want to come over for dinner tonight?"

James out of a sudden blurted out and I'm totally stunned. I stare at each of them, speechless.

"Dinner? With you guys?"

"Yeah. Dinner with us. Mrs. Knight won't mind. And you'll get to meet Katie."

"She's Kendall's sister, very sweet."

Logan added after James. Carlos looked at me with pleaded eyes and I couldn't just decline it. I mean, that'd be not nice. It's my second day here and they're the only ones whom I've talk to and make friends with. Exception Kendall. But, will he like it having me over for dinner? He did said that he hates me just minutes ago.

"What time?"
