Hello everybody! How's your summer going? I'm excited for BTR to release their album in august! So, furthermore, I guess this chapter can be seen as the start of the actually "plot." So, without further delay, I hope you all enjoy this chapter! By the way, I love you all for following me so religiously, it's something I've never had before!
It was a warm, sunny day. Everyone had gathered early for the first day of practice. Rows of studio rooms were filled, various actors and musicians practicing for their dance routines. The process of the movie had been placed down in a very organized manner. The first three days was dedicated to dance practice and choreography. The large rotation of instructors made this short time possible. Following the third day, a dress rehearsal , and then the day after that was to be set for the filmed sequences. Special instances were to be recorded in conjunction with the acting in the film, and those scenes would be shot after the dance instructions phase of production had begun. The boys of big Time Rush were anxious, the dance class about to begin. Grouped with actors, and professional dancers alike, they felt a little uncomfortable. Carlos looked around the room, observing the fellow cast carefully.
" I think we're in a beginner class or something, because there aren't any really famous people in this class" he said, feeling a senses of relief. He didn't want too look like an ass compared to someone who has had coaching for videos and live performances.
" Your probably right." Logan said, looking into the reflective mirrors of the dance studio. Without further time to discuss, a scraggily looking woman, who appeared to be in her thirties walked into the room. She had long, wavy blonde hair, and a thin, dancer's body. They gaped at how tall she was.
" I am Clarisse, and I will be your instructor for these next few days." She said, placing her black duffel to the floor. She smiled at the uneasy crowd, and flipped her hair as she walked toward the oversized stereo at the other end of the studio. A generic beat came on. " As you read, this is for the intro of the film, shot at the market place. The dancing that has been planned is something humorous, yet fitting to the busy life that is visible in a French market." she said, walking toward the front of the studio. " I want you all to relax yourselves, and follow me in these stretching exercises." she added, rolling her neck, alluding to the others to follow in her way. Logan smiled, he was excited. He had been concerned that his lack of rhythm might dissuade him into performing well, but, he felt he could do well, as long as he was in a positive environment.
" I can't believe I've been cut!" Logan said, sighing as he sat on the set. They had been in practice for no more then two hours when the unanimous decision had been made to remove him the studio.
" He's a hazard to the other dancers." Clarisse had proclaimed to the producer on her break. Logan sat indignantly outside of the dance classroom as he waited for his friends to finish. He was heartbroken. It wasn't as though he had been excluded from the film's production, but he didn't feel particularly inspired for success, being relocated to the hallway instead of the studio dance room. He took a sip of his vitamin water. It wasn't as though he tried to be a bad dancer, he just couldn't grasp the techniques at all. He was a much better singer anyway, he thought. Within after what seemed like a tireless waste, dance rehearsals had been finished for the days. James, Kendall, and Carlos eagerly found their friend. They gave him a sympathetic look.
" Don't feel so down, Logan. At least you got to rest for the day, right?" Kendall offered, running a hand through his damp hair. " You were probably just a little stressed out, I'm sure tomorrow will be better!" he added, placing a hand on the brunettes shoulder. Logan looked up remorsefully.
" There isn't going to be another dance opportunity for me." he said gloomily rolling his eyes. " They thought I was so bad, that I'm out of all dance numbers indefinitely." he spoke looking down softly. " they said I can help out backstage while you guys practice. It's only a few more days, then we move on to the rest of the film." He smiled in a fake way, rising from his seat to be at eye level with his friends.
" I'm sorry, Logan, this sucks! Not cool at all!" James responded, sighing as they made their way through the studio. There wasn't much to say to the brunette in such a situation of gloom. After a long day of rehearsal, they were all exhausted. They walked through the studio, arms over each others shoulders, when The producer approached them.
" Hello boys, May I borrow Kendall for a moment?" Ashton asked, Smiling eagerly. The all nodded in agreement, the producer leading Kendall away. Kendall looked to them giving a confused look, but followed the exhilarant man anyway. After they had found privacy, Kendall was given an answer to his dislodgement to his friends.
" What's going on, Mr. Ashton?" Kendall asked, awaiting a response. The director smiled.
" Clarisse was so impressed with your performance in today's class that we are moving you up to an advanced area of the film production. We feel your talents could be more well displayed in a more intimate way. You'll be working among the leads." he spoke, his volume raising obnoxiously loudly. " That is, if you'd accept our offer." he added, smiling in his wait for a response. Kendall was in shock. He didn't think his dancing was anything special, and her certainly didn't think that he had enough talent to work with the leads of the film. He pondered at what would have been the right decision.
" Yes, I'll do it!" he said eagerly. His friends would understand, right? This wasn't just an opportunity for Kendall to move up, but also a chance to bring Big Time Rush's name into a more important area of the casting list. It would benefit them all in the long run.
" That's my boy. Your new studio is down the hall to the left, with the black door. You can't miss it. Be there , same time, tomorrow!" the producer reminded, still smiling at the blonde.
" Thanks so much, Mr. Ashton, sir. This is an amazing honor." He said, shaking his hand firmly. He couldn't wait to tell the others. They would be so excited.
" you best catch up with your friends, they're probably just as tired as you." Mr. ashton added. " and don't thank me, thank yourself , you have major star power!" He smiled kindly as Kendall ran to his friends, waving to the older gentleman in the midst.
Okay! So, chapter four, finally up. I'm setting ya'll up for heartbreak, but I can't reveal a lot more than that. This is going to serve as the backbone for the plot, and trust me, once I'm past this set up, it's going to start getting intense. I love all of you, and I'm SO grateful that your dealing with my lazy updates! I hope you all enjoy, and review! You all inspire me!
