Chapter 10
Convinced
Bex's P.O.V.
"Hey, hey!" Bella screamed, jumping beside me as I slammed my locker door shut. My hangover was long gone, well, it went yesterday. It had been a long weekend of pain and lying to my parents. They had their suspicions, but I kept telling them I was just not feeling too good. It worked, for the most part, anyway. The annoying little twits wouldn't leave me alone.
"Sooo, have a good weekend?" Bella asked, and, as usual, she didn't give me time to answer her. "Of course you did! Tell me all about the party; no details are to be skipped. No! Just skip right to the part where you and Mason went wild and, you know, did-" She stopped and looked around for a moment. "-IT!" She squealed like a young child at the very mention of it.
"Uh, Bella? WHAT PLANET DO YOU LIVE ON?" I yelled at her, playfully of course. "Me and Mason did nothing at the party, we danced, we talked, I got absolutely wasted and he helped me home." But Bella wasn't looking too convinced by my argument. She just wouldn't believe me, which was a sign that I was a terrible liar.
"Uh-Huh." She winked, skipping off down the corridor. It was a good thing I had somehow memorized how to get to English class by then; otherwise I would have been lost completely without Bella.
I made my way down the winding corridors of the school, replaying the scenes in my head from the weekend. Why did everyone seem so convinced that me and Mason had a good go at it in bed? It was one of the most stupid ideas I had ever heard. Then again, I had believed it myself for a little while...
The first thing I saw when I got into the English classroom was Mason's smiley face. That was always a good start to a Monday morning; having Mason to shake the Monday blues off.
"Hey." I smiled back, jumping into my seat beside him. It had been our routine to meet up in English every morning, discussing what we had done over the weekend. It was just our thing.
"Hey." He replied, holding his arms out for a hug. I happily obliged, wrapping my arms around his torso. I always had a funny feeling in my stomach when I hugged Mason. It was as if I had butterflies, almost as if I was nervous about something. I just never knew what.
"Have a goo-"
But Mason was cut off by the sound of my ringing phone.
'No matter how it goes, goes goes,
I just want you to know, know, know,
I'm reminiscing, thinking 'bout us kissing'
It was a good thing it was still five minutes before school officially started, so I was okay to pull my cell out of my pocket and answer it. My instant reaction was to check the caller I.D.
'DJ'
I almost jumped out of my seat. Devon Junior Thompson, one of the biggest directors in Hollywood was calling me. Plain, old Rebecca Naomi Evers. Of course, there was the fact I was an actress and he was one of my parents closest friends. Therefore, he had reasons to be calling me.
"Hey, DJ." I smiled, flipping open my cell and pressing it to my ear.
"Hey, Becky." DJ replied in my ear. He was one of the very few people I let call me Becky. It was the nickname I despised the most, so only DJ and Duncan could call me by it. They had their own special reasons for it. "So, I've been talking to your mother about a great part I have lined up for you in a TV show."
"TV show?" I repeated, making sure I heard him correctly. I had never been in a TV show before, only in movies.
"It is only a small part, only in the pilot episode so far." My heart sunk. Then rose again when I realized I wouldn't be missing school to film a long TV series. "However, if it all goes good, you could become a recurring character." I smiled at Mason, who I was still facing. His face was just plain confused.
"Thanks, Deej." I told him. "I would love to play this part." DJ laughed.
"So, you'll come to the audition tonight, then?" He asked and my smile widened.
"Why would I not want to come?" I retorted, rolling my eyes as if he was right in front of me.
"See later, alligator." He said, no doubt winking at the wall or something. It was his thing.
"In a while, crocodile." I replied. "Bye, bye." I hung the cell up and placed it back in my pocket. I finally had an audition. AT LAST!
DJ and I hadn't worked together for a while, though. Only on one movie, Destiny. In which my young sister was named. It was because of that movie that my life had played out the way it had. Destiny was the reason that mom and Duncan got back together. Then had the twin twits and got married. So, thanks to DJ, my life was perfect.
"And that was about...What?" Mason asked, clearly not understanding anything from a one-sided conversation.
"I got myself an audition!" I squealed excitedly. "It's for a TV show as well, can you believe it?" I asked, smiling as much as I possibly could.
"Congratulations?" Mason said, not quite sure what to say to me. "When's the audition?"
"Tonight, I cannot wait!" I replied, squealing happily again. Maybe Monday wasn't going to be a bad day after all.
"Tonight?" Mason repeated, his face falling a little from his perfect smile. "I thought we had plans tonight."
"OH MY GOD!" I cried out. I had totally forgotten about our plans. Mason had called yesterday and we had arranged to go to the park for a stroll and a talk. Not a date, definitely not a date. Just two friends hanging out. Nothing more, nothing less. "Mason, I am so sorry!"
"It's okay." He smiled back at me, his cute little face lighting up again. "This audition is way more important than a walk in the park."
"You should come with me." I told him, and I really wanted him to come with me too. Mason would have been great support and a way to calm my nerves, since mom and Duncan weren't too good at that themselves. Maybe Mason could have taken my mind off the whole thing, until it was my turn to go in, at least.
"No, no." He shook his head holding his hands up. "I couldn't do that."
"Why not?" I asked, sticking my bottom lip out slightly. That look usually worked for me. "I want you to be there, Mase. I want your support. Please come."
Mason sighed. I knew the look would work. It always worked on weak little boys. Not that I'm calling Mason weak or anything, I just knew it would work on him.
"Okay, I'll come to your audition." I squealed happily again, throwing my arms around Mason again. The butterflies returned, but I didn't care. I wasn't nervous about anything to do with Mason. It was just a weird feeling, was all. Nothing more, nothing less.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." I cried over and over again, receiving some dodgy looks from my fellow students who were already sitting in class. That was about everyone, since the bell rang just as I released Mason from my grip.
"Good morning, class." Mrs. D. smiled at us all, standing up from her desk. "I marked all your papers on Romeo and Juliet." She told us, holding up the pile. "Ethan, come hand these back out for me."
I turned my head around to see Ethan and Bella at the back. The two had always been sitting beside each other ever since I arrived in the class. I thought Bella had sat in the spare seat beside me, but she had moved to sit with Ethan. It was pretty obvious she had the world's biggest crush on him. And he also had one on her. But the just would not admit it to the other, it was actually quite funny to watch.
"Well done." Mason whispered in my ear, making me jump back to reality and turn to face him again. He pointed down to the desk and I saw in big, red, printed 'B' on my white paper.
I had gotten a B. A B! It was a good day for me. I had an audition and a B on my first ever English paper. No wonder I couldn't stop smiling all day.
