Author's Note: I Hope You're Enjoying It!
When they arrived back home, they climbed out of the cars and headed inside the went into the common room and saw the chalk board with "Individuality" and the song "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" written on it. They were so excited and quickly got started rehearsing it.
Marissa was blown away when she heard Samuel sing his part. He sounded so beautiful. After 2 hours if rehearsing, they decided it was time to go to sleep. They went into their dorms and changed. The guys came into the girls' dorm after knocking and hugged everyone goodnight. When Samuel hugged Marissa, she hugged him tightly, not wanting to let go, but did so he could go to bed. "Goodnight." The boys left and everyone went to sleep, excited for tomorrow.
When they woke up, they said their good mornings and got ready for the day. The guys were in the common room, playing pool and talking, when Marissa and Lindsay walk in. "Hey guys," Linsday said, walking over to the bed and hopping on it. "Hey. Where are the rest of the girls?" Alex asked from his spot on the bed. "Getting dressed," Marissa replied, leaning on the edge of the pool table, where Samuel and Cameron were playing. "Still?" complained Damian, "I'm hungry." Marissa looked over at Damian in the egg chair and made a face at him. "Yes, still." She rolled her eyes at him then looked away. "Woah! Attitude problem much?" Damian said. Marissa turned around and glared at him. "Don't mess with me." "Are we missing something?" asked Lindsay, confused that their fighting.
"No," Marissa said, not wanting to tell them that Damian has a picture of her half naked. "When you set that picture of Marissa in her bathing suit as her profile pic, I saved it onto my phone," Damian explained with a smile, enjoying messing with Marissa. "Damian!" Lindsay scolded. "Hey, you were the one to put the picture on their in the first place," defended Damian, putting his hands up. "As a joke. Not for you to save it," Lindsay explained. "This IS a joke. I find it hilarious," Damian smiles. "Just be quiet. I'll get you back," Marissa said, annoyed their having this conversation in front of the other guys. "Oh really? How so?" Damian asked, curious. "I have my ways." Then the rest of the girls came into the room, ending the conversation for now.
They discussed where to get some breakfast and decided on IHOP. They split into the same groups and drove to the restaurant and got some breakfast. After about 2 hours, they finished eating, drove back to the house so they could perform their song for Robert and the guest. They were all sitting in the choir room, excited to see who the guest was. They heard the door open and footsteps walking down the hall. People were saying "who is it?" when Robert walked in the room with Darren Criss. "Oh my God!" Everybody went crazy when they saw him. All the girls were blushing and putting their hands on their face, thinking that he's so hot. Darren introduced himself and talked about the theme, individuality. Then the contenders started singing "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" for Darren. Marissa loved the way Samuel sang his part of the song. He sounded amazing. When they finished, Darren eventually chose Matheus as the winner of the homework assignment. Everyone clapped and patted him on the back, congratulating him. When Darren left, everybody gathered into the common room.
"Congratulations on winning the first homework assignment Matheus," said Ellis. "We're happy for you," added Machynleigh. "Thanks everyone," Matheus said with a smile. Marissa was sitting in an egg chair, on twitter, looking at everyone's tweets and pictures they tweeted via TwitPic. She followed some more people and saw that she had 73 followers since yesterday. She was following all of them back when she saw someone standing in front of her. She looked up to see Damian there, holding his iPhone. "I was just playing with you, Marissa. I'll delete the picture. Look." He chose the picture of Marissa and showed her. He pressed delete, making the picture vanish into the little trash can. "Thank you Damian," Marissa said, smiling. "Your welcome." He gave her a hug then sat in a chair near her, happy that she wasn't mad at him anymore. "Ok guys, we should head to the studio," said Lindsay.
Everyone was hanging out in the boys' dorm talking when Lindsay spoke up. They all exited the dorm and walked to the studio where Niki Anders was there waiting for them. She introduced herself and explained how they were going to record their voices. When she was done, she took Matheus into the recording booth so he could start first. The rest of the contenders recorded their parts one by one until they were all done. When they left the studio, they started to talk about how they did. "I think I did horrible!" Hannah exclaimed. "I'm sure you did fine. This is your first time in a recording studio," replied Emily. "Yeah, but still..." "Nikki said I did really good," Lindsay said with a smile. They kept talking until they got back to the girls' dorm. Marissa laid down on her bed with her iPod, going through Twitter. Her bed sunk from where Samuel sat down on it. She moves over to give him more room. "Here, you can lay down." "Thanks," he says with a smile, lying down next to her, taking his iPhone out.
"Hey guys, I think we should get each other's phone number," Mackynleigh said from her bed. "Ok," says Hannah. They all said their numbers out loud while everyone typed it in and saved it. "I want a picture of each you guys for the contact picture," Marissa says, sitting up. Lindsay takes Marissa's phone and squeezes next to her on the bed. She goes to the camera and changes the setting to the front camera, which makes the screen flip around and they see themselves, like a mirror. She holds the phone slightly up and puts her head next to Marissa's, smiles, then takes the picture. "I like that one," she says, handing it back to Marissa and going back to her bed. Marissa saves the picture as Lindsay's contact picture and proceeds to go around the room, take pictures of each person then saving the picture as the contact picture. When she gets everybody except Samuel, she sits next to him on her bed and taps his arm.
"Sit up and take a picture." He sits up and gets close to Marissa. She holds out the phone and makes sure their centered on the screen. They both smile and Marissa takes the picture. "Is it good?" she asks Samuel, showing him the picture. "Yeah," he says with a smile. She smiles back and saves it as his contact picture. Everybody takes pictures to save as their contact pictures. Samuel takes a picture of everyone except for Marissa. She was a little hurt but figured he just forgot about her because there were so many other people.
She was about to go to him and tell him he didn't take a picture of her when he got a phone call from someone and stepped outside to the boys' dorm so he could talk to them privately. Marissa watched him leave and wasn't paying attention to Lindsay trying to get her attention. "Marissa!" Lindsay snapped her fingers in her face, snapping Marissa back into reality. "I'm sorry. What?" she says, looking at the blue-eyed girl. Lindsay's eyes shoot to the door to Marissa, to the door and back to Marissa. "I don't know. You tell me," she says suspiciously, raising an eyebrow. "What are you talking about?" Marissa asks, playing dumb. Lindsay looks around to make sure no one is listening then leans in closer to Marissa and lowers her voice. "Why are staring dreamily at Samuel? You never take your eyes off of him!" Marissa blushes and says, " I can't help it. He's a wonderful person and his eyes...His eyes are just so...captivating. It feels like every time I look into his eyes it's like I'm seeing into his soul."
Lindsay smiles. "Your totally in love!" "Shhh! I am not in love. I'm crushing on him," Marissa corrects. "Crushes don't say when they look into his eyes that they can see his soul. Thats called love." Marissa blushes and looks away. "I'm FALLING in love with Samuel," she whispers, looking at the door.
