Clare's P.O.V
I've never been so nervous. My heart racing, my hands sweating, waiting for them to reveal who would be in my band.
Just breathe, I reminded myself.
"And the winner is" Chris started. "Fitz, Owen, K.C and Dave."
My heart stopped beating, and my anger exploded, like a nuclear bomb.
"What?" I spat, interupting Chris's apology speach to Eli, Adam, Ali and Drew. "You are joking right?"
"Clare, sweetheart, this is none of your concern. Let us deal with this while you take the day off." He said while trying to walk me out the door.
"Excuse me? None of my concern? The band that I will have to do everything with and spend almost all my time with is none of my concern? Tell you what? Unless you choose Eli, Adam, Ali and Drew, I quit." I said and everyone's faces froze, wide eyed and opened jaw. "That's right, you heard me. Good luck trying to make money off St. Clare and her band, without St. Clare."
"Sweetheart, don't you think your over reacting?" Chris asked, with a hint of anger in his voice.
"Yes, but I wouldn't have to if you gave me the choice." I stated.
"But statistically speaking, a band of four boys and one attractive girl seems to be very appealing to the targetted audience." Daniel shot back.
"Yes and statistcally speaking, unless you announce you were joking, I walk." I state.
"She's bluffing." Chris mumbles.
"I'm sure any other recording studios would be delighted to sign with me." I say as I turn around. "Eli, Adam, Ali, Drew, you joining me?"
And with that the five of us left, and created our own band.
Five Months Later…
"Girl I've been all over the world
Looking for you
I'm known for taking what I think I deserve
And you're overdue
And if you listen you can hear me through the radio
In that bright white noise
What I been missing in my life
What I been dreaming of
You'll be that girl
You'll be that girl
You'll be
Everything you want so let me get up there
I'm the baddest baby in the atmosphere
Tell me what you want so we can do just what you like
Ooh
Everything you know I'm flipping upside down
Take you 'round the world
You know I like it loud
Tell me what you want 'cause we can do just what you like
That was DG5 with their latest single You Make Me Feel. Be sure to catch them on their last show of their first world tour tonight!" the DJ anounced.
"I stil can't believe were on the radio, with thousands of fans, and finishing our world wide tour." Adam said as he attempted to tie his tie.
"It's crazy! But I'm so excited!" Ali said stepping in and doing it for him.
"Do you even remember how we became famous?" Drew asked.
"Of coarse! Don't you remember us walking out on DAC Records?" I exclaimed.
After walking out on DAC Records, I called a few recording studios and made appointments to meet with them. After about five meetings with different studios we signed with Def Jam Recording Studio and created a whole new idea. We created the name, DG5, after the one thing we had in common, Degrassi.
We'd have a unique sound, style and image to match all of our unique personalities. Def Jam really loved how diverse we all were, so for our individual styles they decided to invigorate our original image. So they pretty much let us style ourselves, except they took us shopping at more expensive stores.
Drew was on drums, Adam on base guitar, Ali on keyboard, Eli on guitar and me as lead singer. However sometimes we would switch it up and Ali would be on guitar and Eli would share the position of lead singer with me. Ali and Adam would always sing backup for Eli and I, and Drew would rap when needed.
Our label was ecstatic about Eli and I being together. They said that it reached out to our fans because it was like polar opposites coming together and it gave us great chemistry on stage. They encouraged us to go out in public together and have interviews together. Which sounds annoying to some people, but Eli and I just thought of it as spending time together.
"Ready to perform? We go on in ten minutes." Eli said walking through the door to our dressing room.
After performing our last song we were finally finished our world tour. We had literatly traveled across the globe and done at least seven hundred shows, from Paris to Tokyo to Brazil to Hawaii.
We were our hotel celebrating a great show, with pizza and a movie marathon when my phone started ringing.
"Hello," I answered as I walked into another room.
"Hello, Saint Clare? It's Jacob Rieber*." The voice said. My eyes widened. Jacob Rieber was a multi-millionaire pop star that had just as many haters as fans, but still managed to have dozens of records, star and produce many movies and have thousands of girls fall madly I love with him.
"Well hello Jacob, it's a pleasure to finally meet you." I started, "But please, just call me Clare."
"Well Clare, my manager tells me you would like to take up acting. I am staring and producing a new movie and I wanted to call you and ask you personally if you would like to star in it."
"Seriously? I would love to! But I must tell you I have absolutely no experience in acting." I stated.
"I've seen what you can do. I've watched all you music videos and met with all the people that have worked with you, and just watched your last performance." He replied.
"Admiring from a far, I had no idea you knew I existed! Anyways, if you are sure we can meet for coffee, say tomorrow?" I insisted.
"Sounds terrific, I'll have my chauffeur pick you up at your hotel at two."
"Okay see you tomorrow, bye!" I replied.
"And Clare, just call me Jake." He said as he hung up.
I took a deep breath and processed what just happened before going back to my friends.
"Guess who just called me?" I questioned as I entered the room.
"Who?" Ali and Adam asked in unison.
"Jacob Rieber." I said and all five eyes in the room went wide. "He said he is producing a new movie and would love for me to star in it. We are meeting up for coffee tomorrow."
"Oh my god that's amazing!" Ali said as she got up to hug me. "You'll let me dress you right?"
"Oh course!" I replied with a smile.
"Good, because you are going to look so sexy he won't be able to keep his hands off-" she said, before realizing I'm not single.
"Wait, you agreed to go on a date with this guy?" Eli asked, a little angry.
"No, it's not a date. It's a professional business meeting, Ali was just over reacting." I said hoping he would calm down. "He said he's watched all of my music videos and seen our performances, and thinks I'd be good for the part."
"Oh great, so this guy has seen you dancing around like a slut in revealing clothing and then comes to the conclusion he would love to meet you." Eli stated getting more and more angry.
"I can't believe you would say such a thing." I said, hurt.
"No I- I didn't mean it to come out like that, I'm just not comfortable with you going out with another guy."
"So you don't trust me?" I asked.
"No it's just-" he started. "Drew, Adam, I'm not going crazy here right."
"Sorry Clare, but I'm on Eli's side. You don't know anything about this guy, and if Eli's uncomfortable with it-" Adam started.
"First of all, when did Eli become in control of my life and my decisions? And second, if I were to listen to what Eli's wants, we all probably wouldn't have been here, because Eli would never have let me go to New York by myself."
"But Clare, I've heard things, Jacob is a player." Drew said.
"I can't believe it, you're actually taking his side?" I questioned. "This could be a great opportunity for me and your afraid that Jacob might 'make a move' on me? Unbelievable!" I said as I headed for the door.
"Clare, where are you going?" Eli asked.
"I'm going to my bedroom, because I don't want to talk to any of you." I said before slamming the door in his face.
First my apologies for not updating for a few months, however I know it's a lame to give excuses so I am just going to take the blame and say yup it's all my fault. However now I have a little more free time, so I will be trying to update all my stories regularily and creating new stories as well. Any ideas, comments or constructive critisum is very appreciated.
Also Jacob Rieber, if you can't tell is going to be a mix of Justin Bieber and Jake. I will not state whether or not I am a fan of Justin, so I don't offend anyone. However I will say I am not a big fan of Jake, I mean dumping Clare at prom, not very classy, but I hope that opens the door to Eclare.
