Logan's POV
I walked into the ice rink in my hockey uniform. It was Monday and we had the day off and while the others were doing one of the various activities going on at the Palmwoods, I chose to head to the ice rink and clear my mind of Holly. Something about her entranced me and I was doing my best to hide it from Camille but I knew sooner or later she would find out and go bipolar on me if I didn't clear my head. And sense homework didn't help, I chose to go play hockey alone.
As I entered the rink, I noticed it was empty but there was still some light music in the background. It sounded as if someone was singing. I stopped on one of the benches and put my skates on when I heard a thud from the opposite side of the rink.
It was Sophia.
She was skating around the net in circles and singing to herself with her eyes closed.
"Check yes Juliet,
Kill the limbo,
I'll keep tossing rocks at your window.
There's no turning back for us tonight…"
I made my way over to the rink's wall and leaned over and watched her. I know I seem to be doing this creepy stalker like thing lately but I can't help it. When I had seen her yesterday at the short meet and greet I had thought she was pretty, but now she was just gorgeous. Her straight long dark brown hair flew around her defined face gracefully as she swished around in circles.
She sped out as she started at the chorus.
"Run baby run,
Don't ever look back…
They'll tear us apart if you give them the chance…"
"Don't sell your heart," I started to sing with her and she made a dead stop and looked at me with wide eyes as I made my way onto the ice. "Don't say we're not meant to be…" I continued but she still looked like I had killed her mom or something. I sighed as I stopped in front of her.
"I didn't know anyone else was here…" She said as she gained her confidence once again. I smiled.
"I just got here. I didn't know you played hockey!"
"I was on the team back home in Middletown, New Jersey."
"Really?" I asked curiously.
"Yeah, I was on the guy's team."
"I don't believe that." I said shortly. She looked like I just slapped her before she gave a scuffle/chuckle.
"And why don't you believe that?" She glared deep drown daggers into my chocolate eyes. I smirked.
"Because, they only let girls on guys teams if they have better skills than the guys."
"Well you never know. I could be better than you."
"Care to make a friendly bet? First one to ten. I win and you admit that its bull, but if you win, I'll have to admit it's true."
"Deal!" She shouted rather loudly and shook my hand valiantly.
We played for about an hour before I made it by one more point than her.
"Oh come on! You cheated!" She shouted from the other side of the rink.
"Considering I'm the only one on my team, it's pretty hard to cheat!"
She skated over to me. "Well, either way, I was on the team so saying I wasn't would be a lie and I don't lie… or cheat!" She gave me a playful shove that soon escalated into us chasing each other around the rink until the guy at the concession counter told us to keep our yelling down. We laughed as we started playing another game of hockey.
I learned that Sophia was very easy to get along with.
James's POV
'Looking for Next Cuda Model'. I read the headline on the magazine cover three times before searching frantically through it to see where auditions were being held. And just to my luck, it was at the Palmwoods.
"YES!" I yelled to the heavens and ran to my room to put on my famous lucky white v-neck and black skinny jeans with a black vest and I ran out of the apartment down to the lobby.
I ran out to the lobby only to crash into something wet and hard. I fell on top of it and I soon realized it was a person. I looked up and saw who it was a smile played my features.
It was Evangeline.
She was in little brown running shorts and an orange tank top with her red hair pulled back into a pony tail. She was very pink faced and sweaty.
"You just can't keep away from me can you, red?" I joked but silently bearded myself for the not-so-unique nickname.
She groaned. "Can you please just get off me?"
"Not the response I was hoping for but sure." I got up and offered her a hand up that was accepted quickly. "So, why are you all sweaty?"
"I just went for a run… why are you all dressed up?" She shot back at me with a smug grin.
"Trying to get your attention." I replied with my signature flirty smirk. Evangeline raised her eyebrows.
"Yeah right…"
"Fine, I'm going to an audition."
"That makes more sense."
"Well maybe if I would have known that you and I were going to run into each other, again, I might have dressed up for you."
"And why would you do that?"
"Because I think you're really cute." I smirked when she blushed so hard that I could notice it through her already flushed cheeks.
"You think I'm cute?" She asked timidly.
"Yeah… really cute. And maybe if you wouldn't mind, I could take you out for dinner tonight?"
Evangeline smiled and replied with a happy, "Yeah, sure, that would be cool! See you tonight, James!" and ran off to the elevators.
I smirk before I realized why I came down in the first place. CUDA!
I ran down the hallway of the lobby till I reached the audition room where photographers were lining the walls taking pictures of every model. I stood in line and waited till I was instructed to go to photographer 9.
When I got up there, I was pleasantly surprised to see my photographer was a pale Emma Watson look alike that I had met yesterday.
Ariana turned around from reloading her camera and smiled when she saw me.
"Hey James!" She said excitedly.
"Hey Ariana—"
"Just call me Ari!" She interrupted me before I could finish.
"Oh, well, hey Ari!"
"Okay, so stand still and just look, well… GORGEOUS!" She shouted it loud enough that several others turned to look at her but she simply smiled a huge white smile and turned her attention back to the camera and started to take my pictures.
Even though she was quiet obnoxious and definitely loud, Ari was amazingly like me. We both get creped out easily and we both like surfing and watching the stars. I thought that if I hadn't just asked Evangeline out, I might have asked Ari but by the way Kendall was staring at her yesterday in the studio, I thought I would at least give him a chance before I swoop in for the pray that I always catch.
Besides, something about Evangeline just made my stomach turn and dip and swim and dance and any other verb out there. It was an odd sensation that I had never felt before and I couldn't wait to get to know her better tonight.
But just in case it was a total bomb… I knew at least one other girl that I could try my luck on.
Holly's POV
I was pretty bored sitting alone in the apartment I shared with the other girls. Well, I wasn't alone. Hazel but she was busy playing her guitar and writing some jealousy-romantic type of song on the porch. I had no doubt that it was about her, Carlos and Sophia. Something happened between them that Sophia wasn't quiet understanding. It's not like Hazel was making a big deal about it, but there was just a slight change in her attitude when Sophia brought Carlos up. Which was a lot. I don't think anyone else noticed but being Hazel's best friend, I did.
We are all very close but we all have our one bestie. For Sirena, it's her and Evie. Always has and I'm pretty sure it always will be. Ariana and Sophia are both to goofy and obnoxious and loud to be best friends with anyone else so they have always been very close. That leaves me and Hazel.
Anyway, Sophia went to the rink, Sirena went shopping for a swim suit, Evie went for her afternoon run and Ari was doing some photos for a modeling company. I decided I want to take some pictures of the Palmwoods to show my brother, Luke, when he gets home from medical school. I grabbed my camera and started out the door.
When I got to the pool area, I started taking pictures of couples.
One couple was especially cute. A blonde boy and a blonde girl who both had dark eyebrows were sitting by the pool drinking smoothies while laughing to themselves. I took several pictures before I realized the boy was Kendall.
I guess that when we met yesterday I was too tired to truly see him, but now that I got a good look at his face, I noticed he was very handsome.
He saw me just standing there staring at him and I got shy from embarrassment and looked at the ground before I heard someone shout, "HOLLY!"
I looked up to see Kendall standing on one of the lawn chairs in a stance that resembled a game show model. He was looking at me with a smile on his face before sighing and making his hands into a box and pretending to snap pictures then returned to his pose.
I got the hint and started taking his picture.
I must have taken about 15 pictures of him and every time I snapped the photo while looking at his beautiful yet manly smile, my own smile grew larger.
After I stopped we just stood there laughing shyly at each other until I heard a crash and turned around to face the lobby to see Evie pinned beneath the handsome brunette that kept trying to get Evie's attention at the meet and greet.
Not wanting to interrupt what could be a moment for Evie, I snuck past around them without being seen (but not before I heard the words 'Dinner' and 'tonight' come from the brunette) and back to the apartment.
Hazel was waiting for me when I got back.
"What are you smiling about?" She asked when I entered. She was in the kitchen making what smelled like Mac & cheese.
"Nothing but I know what Evie will be smiling about when she gets back."
"Yeah," Hazel chuckled slightly, "And what's that?"
I smiled. "You remember that tall brunette from yesterday, right?"
"Yeah, you mean James?"
"Yep! But I'm pretty sure he just asked her out!"
"Oh really?" it didn't seem like the happiest reply but I didn't have time to ask before Evie came into the apartment with a bright smile.
"Isn't it a wonderful day?" She asked with a smile but ran to her room before we could respond and we heard her yell, "YES!" excitedly from her and Sirena's room.
Me and Hazel laughed as she handed me my bowl of Mac and Cheese and we watched 50 First Dates together.
