Matt waited at the edge of the red carpet behind a steel fence. Thousands of professional reporters were behind and beside him. As limos passed by, dropping off stars from the movie, reporters tried to get closer. Matt didn't. He only waited for Inez.

You wanna be in the headline,
(Your name in black and white)
You wanna go for the big time,
Can't shake the feeling.

You wanna walk in the limelight,
(And take the world by storm)
You wanna reach for the high life,
And be the new thing.

Finally, the last limo pulled up.

Matt's heart skipped a beat when he saw who came out of the limo.

As the feminine teen walked down the red carpet, Matt hid his face behind the notepad that he was holding. The teen stopped mid-way when she noticed.

She pulled down the notepad to see a familiar red head boy.

"Hello, Matt." she said.

I told you from the start,
There's nothin' wrong with what you said.
But deep inside my heart,
I want to tell you!

"Inez!" Matt exclaimed, "Heh, you caught me."

"What are you doing here?" Inez asked, "Only VIPs are allowed here."

"I'm supposed to be a reporter for the school newspaper." Matt answered, "My columnist Eric made me come here. I told him I didn't want to come here."

Inez just smiled and said, "I was supposed to bring one guest with me to the premiere. Jackie was too busy and I couldn't contact you. But, you're here now, so, wanna be my guest?"

Mind your head,
Get out of bed,
Don't realise,
Your own demise,
You gotta redefine,
The state of mind,
So take as read,
The Word has said to mind your head!

Matt managed to suffice, "Sure."

"Then, let's go." Inez said.

You wanna be with the best of,
(And Hollywood in name)
Somebody nobody heard of,
Who made the big time.
You wanna see what you can do,
(When runnin' side by side)
You wanna know what you'll get through,
And make the headline.

Matt ducked under the fence and joined Inez on the red carpet. He smiled.

Inez just blushed.

But if you want to learn,
Then everything will be alright.
Take on what's in the Word,
Don't let it leave you!

Matt felt strange going down the red carpet with a movie star that was also his friend.

"So," Matt said, trying to remember one of the questions on his notepad, "H-how did you get to be a movie star?"

"I just auditioned," Inez answered, "Since the auditions were just in town. So, I decided to give it a shot."

Mind your head,
Get out of bed,
Don't realise,
Your own demise,
You gotta redefine,
The state of mind,
So take as read,
The Word has said you gotta mind you head!

"Uh," Matt stuttered, "So, do you plan on being something else famous in the future? Y'know, a singer? Musician? I mean, you do have a great-"

"Are you taking these questions off of your notebook?" Inez laughed.

"Um...yes." Matt answered sheepishly.

I tried to tell you how it is but you still disagree,
When will you ever see how faithfulness should be?

Inez giggled, "You make me laugh so much, Matt." she laughed.

"I know." Matt said, looking down at his walking feet.

Inez smiled. "That's just one of the things that I missed about you."

Matt looked up. His expression was dubious.

Mind your head,
Realise...

Be in the headline,
Go for the big time,
Walk in the limelight.

Be in the headline,
Go for the big time,
Walk in the limelight.

Matt's heart began to thud against his chest painfully as they entered the screening room.

"Nervous?" Inez asked.

"Yeah." Matt answered, sounding sheepish, "How do you stand it?"

"I guess I'm just used to it from the school plays." Inez answered, "It's kinda like walking backstage."

Mind your head,
Get out of bed,
Don't realise,
Your own demise,
You gotta redefine,
The state of mind,
So take as read,
The Word has said you gotta mind your head!

After the movie was over, Matt felt so relieved when he left. Not that the movie was bad, he just felt strange with him being beside Inez for so long. Especially in the dark.

"So," Inez asked,"Do you wanna, you know, hang out? I mean, I've hung out with Jackie for a long time now since she's my next door neighbour but, you, I barely saw you since the last five years."

"Sure." Matt said.

You gotta redefine!
(Be in the headline)
The state of mind!
(Go for the big time!)
So take as read!
(Walk in the limelight!)
The Word has said,
You gotta mind your head!
