I DON'T OWN DEGRASSI OR THE DIALOGUE

I told Rick about my meeting with Silent Bob & he was stoked. I asked him if he wanted to be my plus one, but he was busy. I thought about going with Emma, but she was already going with Peter Stone. So, in the end, I called Terri & invited her to come with me. We went to the premier & it was petty high class, just like you'd expect. A lot of kids from Degrassi were there. Jimmy was with Hazel, Craig was with Manny, Paige was with Alex Nunez, of all people, & Emma was with Peter.

"Oh my God, this is so exciting, i've never been to a movie premier before." Terri said excitedly.

"Me neither." I told her as we went inside the theater. As we started to watch the movie, I had to admit it was pretty funny; but it was sobering to think that while this hilarious movie was being made, Rick was in therapy for almost pulling a Columbine & I was going through alcohol withdrawal. A lot had changed, I swear to God it had. After the movie was over, we went to the after party & honestly, it looked pretty lame.

"This is the after party?" Marco asked, clearly unimpressed.

"The kiddie version." Ellie said, "the real party is over there." she pointed to a couple of security guards, letting a line of people in.I put my arm around Terri & walked over as everyone watched me. I held up my V.I.P. pass,

"James Stark." I said, the security guy looked at his clipboard.

"Go on in." he said as Terri & I walked in. All the other kids watched with their mouths Terri & I went into the after party, we could see that the place was pumping. Eventually, we saw Kevin & Jason at the bar drinking.

"James." Kevin said as he came over to me.

"Hey Kevin." I said as he gave me a pound. "This is my date, Terri Mcgregor." Kevin kissed her hand.

"Say, do you mind if we borrow James for a little bit?" Jason asked.

"No problem." she said as Kevin & Jason took me aside.

"So, I wanted to talk to you because I thought that your book was amazing." Kevin said as Jason nodded.

"Thank you."

"We were wondering if you had a manager?"

"Um...not really, no."

"I was kind of hoping you'd say that James, I'd like you to come work for me at View Askew Productions." I was definitely shocked.

"Really?" I asked.

"Absolutely, We were thinking that after you graduated, you could come out to California & work with us full time." he said.

"Well Kevin, it's a great opportunity & I should jump at the chance... could I have 24 hours to think it over.?" I asked.

"No problem, sleep on it tonight, talk to some people, I'll get a contract ready & we'll meet up tomorrow before we leave." Kevin said as we shook hands. Before I could talk to Terri, however, I saw Alex Nunez coming for me.

WHAT DOES ALEX WANT WITH JAMES? WILL JAMES SING ON WITH VIEW ASKEW PRODUCTIONS? REVIEWS & INPUT APPRECIATED.
