Lost & Found
Ch. 6 – Superstar
As Pia and Utt hung out together they became real good friends. They became 'out of nowhere acquaintances' to 'galleria buddies' to 'friends'. Pia was real happy to be a friend of her idol. She never thought that this would happen.
Pia was sitting on the counter of PIA; reminder…Pulp In Alley. Kyle came from the kitchen to sit down with her.
"So, the business is going A Ok huh?" asked Kyle.
"Yeah, it really is." replied Pia.
Kyle could see that Pia was bothered by something. She had a look, a look that made her seem like she took a test and she failed it.
"What's wrong?" Kyle lifted up Pia's face.
Pia smiled and said, "Nothing. It's just you know…"
"You know...what? I'm confused here…very."
"I think I'm starting not to love Utt anymore."
"So? Is that your big problem? My goodness Pia!!! What's up with you these days? You're so loca crazy crazy!!!
Pia laughed and said, "Hey, honestly! I'm troubled about this. This isn't supposed to happen. I'm supposed to be in love with Utt. That was my role in being his fan."
"No…it's not. You don't have to love him to be a fan! You can just like him! My gosh Pia! You're really killing me! Really crazy!!!"
"It's not like I'm the only crazy one here!"
"But you're the most hyper and talkative and crazy and extreme!!!"
"Ok…I give up. I guess I am too crazy!"
"That's why you should break the sad face up and turn that frown upside down." Kyle sang in a comical tune.
Then Pia and Kyle just laughed and laughed. Suddenly Pixie came rushing in.
"Oh hey Pixie" Pia was still laughing.
"Whoa…What happened here?" asked Pixie. Pia and Kyle were in tears of laughing.
"Sor-ahhah-ry!" Kyle said as she fell off the chair she was sitting on.
"Okay…weirdos! Anyway, I'm going to continue telling you my story. Kate couldn't contact you guys because she's been busy in the shop."
"Why did anything happen?" Pia suddenly turned from hysterical laugher to a serious listener.
"Yeah, something did happen" Pixie replied in a serious matter.
"So what happened?" asked Kyle.
"Uh…hold on." Pixie gave a pause and started talking with such speed that Kyle couldn't understand her anymore.
"Well…MTV's at the Pulp and they want to feature your shop for one of the new popular hang out's at the new galleria! Since a lot of people have been hanging around your shop. – Honestly I think that making a branch of your shop have been really successful. Well to cut to the chase…they'd like to interview you in about what fifteen minutes? You better get there now!"
Pixie grabbed Pia, and both of them ran out of the shop to get to the galleria. Pia was still in her kitchen apron when she got into the mall. When they got to the shop, Pia's hair was messy and her clothes were so raggedy. With her black and white striped long sleeves and her black floods; she didn't look so presentable. Her hair was all over the place, her 'always on reading glasses' was all crooked. She needed air. They ran to the nearest Giordano boutique and grabbed a cute outfit. It was only a few minutes before Utt and Donita would review the shop and want to interview her. As Pia ran out of the store with khakis and a baby blue top, she noticed Utt's sweet and charming smile on a big poster over the store's window.
A few minutes, they got to the store just in time. Pia tied her hair in a pony tail and she went off to scan the crowd for Utt or Donita.
Donita found her just in time.
"Hey! We've been looking all over for you! Where have you been?" she asked.
"Oh, I was –." Pia broke off as the camera man grabbed her and flashed the lights on her face.
"Here she is…Pia!" said Utt cheerfully.
"Hi!" Pia waved and smiled, showing her multicolored braces.
"So do you know that your shop has been voted as one of the top hang out's of the new galleria?"
"Uh…no not really."
"Well, I'm letting you know now. It is! It's been voted as number one actually…"
"That's great."
"I really like your shop; I find it very cozy and cool. Since your little café/ lounge has been voted as the coolest shop in the whole galleria, you deserve a little acknowledgement from the galleria owner and the MTV vjs who have been chillin' here."
"Thanks! I really appreciate it. I feel happy that everyone is enjoying the service and pleasure they are getting from my little café!"
"Yes, and for that we'd like to give you an MTV goodies bag, and a cool MTV acknowledgement poster signed by our very own VJs!"
Pia smiled in delight when she heard this. Utt seemed different to her from now on. She felt like they were close and really good friends.
Utt hugged Pia back and announced that Pia was his great friend, and that he was really proud of the work she put in the shop. She hugged Utt and kissed his cheek. Utt paused as Pia kissed him. He felt different about Pia. Something inside him made him feel nervous and shaky, but he didn't know what it was and he didn't want to show it.
After the interview Utt was finished with work and decided to stay with Pia and Pixie. The conversation went on and on until Jay, Utt's friend, had called him.
"Hello?" answered Utt.
"Where are you?" asked Jay.
"I'm at Pulp. Where are you?"
"I'm at the galleria, too. I heard you were here with Donita, and that you guys were doing some kind of interview."
"Yeah. I think you should come over to the shop and meet Pia!"
"Is she Pia, Pulp Pia?"
"Yeah, she's my friend Pia."
"Okay, is she pretty?"
"Yeah, very." Utt joked, but he knew Pia was pretty inside and could be outside too.
Jay hurried to meet this 'beautiful' lady. He didn't expect her to be how she is though. He expected the model type of girl in Pia. As he turned to see who Utt was talking to…he thought that Pixie was Pia and shook her hand.
"Hi! So you're the famous Pia!" he smiled.
"No not quite." Pixie turned to Pia and gave her a smirk.
"Hey!" Pia waved.
Jay took a seat and whispered to Utt;
"I thought she was pretty…the other girl looks prettier than her…"
Though as the conversation went on Jay saw the beauty Utt was talking about. By the end of the conversation Jay really seemed to like Pia.
Utt offered to take Pia home, but she refused. She insisted to have Pixie take her home.
"Okay. See you tomorrow I guess…" Utt and Jay waved bye and they headed the other way.
Pia and Pixie went as well.
"I really like Utt." said Pixie. "Well not in a romantic way, but how he is…with you."
"With me?" Pia laughed.
"Yeah, and I could see how that Jay looks at you."
"Uhuh…you just keep on going with your little theories and I'll try to believe you. I don't think so. All I know is that I really appreciate how Utt is my friend."
"Yeah, right."
"No! Really! I'm not in love with him or anything. I just like him as a really close friend. He's not like other superstars I guess. He's really…just so out of this world!"
"You'll never find one like him! Imagine a friend of a famous star!"
"I don't really like to think of it that way. He's just a, a..." Pia smiled to herself, "friend."
