Different P.O.V.

'So, this is her...' I thought to myself. 'She looks...interesting.' I studied the picture carefully, taking in every detail. My eyes switched from the picture on the sheet in my hand to the information printed beneath it:

Name: Jade Tanner

Age: 14

D.O.B.: August 10th

Gender: Female

Interests: Baseball, Roller Skating (not blading), Equine Activities, Giraffes, Reading, Harry Potter books and movies (especially Harry/Daniel and Draco/Tom)

Other: Loves the colour purple, animals, and being around other people. Spends every second possible with her friends. Wouldn't trade them for anything.

Friends Being Included: Alexis Maxwell, 14, F

Jacob Johnson, 16, M

'Easy enough. Likes to be around others, likes animals, birthday is in one month. Got it.' Now all I had to do was watch out for these friends of hers. 'A 16 year-old guy friend, huh? So I'll have to be careful about what I say around him.'

"Oi! What are you doing in there?" I heard from the hallway. I laughed to myself knowing that the owner of the voice was most likely needing to use the apparently occupied restroom across the hall.

"What do you think? I AM a girl, you know. I need time to fix my hair and all that." Came the uptight response. My laughter was getting harder to contain. I had realized who the voices belonged to, and it made the whole situation funnier.

"I know that Ems, but come on! I gotta use the loo!" At this point, I couldn't take it any longer. I fell to the floor, laughing loudly and clutching my sides.

'Shuddup mate, before I come in there and beat your arse." Now the yells were directed towards me, but instead of cutting off my laughs like I should have, I laughed even harder. In fact, I was laughing so hard, tears were running down my face. And the sad thing is, it wasn't even that funny.

All I saw was a flash of red hair, before another body collided with mine.

"I warned you!" I heard the voice of my attacker exclaim. I managed to get out from under him, and we scuffled for a few minutes. After a while, we fell down, both of us cackling as hard as we could.

"You two are so immature." Another voice, this one belonging to the bathroom hog, echoed from the doorway. Laughs were hidden in this statement, and we knew she wasn't serious anyway.

"And would you prefer it if we sat around on our arses and did nothing all day?" The question came from the redhead on the floor next to me.

"No, of course not. Then where would I get my money? There's no one else to babysit around here." She retorted. With a silent exchange of looks and a mental agreement, we got up from the floor and mauled the girl, our hands reaching for her sides. This turned into an all out tickle war. Once we were all exhausted-

"Okay, I'm about to piss myself. Back in a few." I watched him walk out of the room, then checked my watch.

"I'm glad we have the day off from filming. I need to get out of here. Ready to hit the town?" I asked the girl, and turned to face her.

"Sure, why not." She replied. I got up from the floor, straightened my clothes, and offered her my hand. She took it, and I pulled her up. We walked out of the room, and I went to the bathroom door.

"Rupert, hurry up. Emma and I are going to head to the car. Meet us out there." I said loudly.

"Be out in a few." Came the muffled response. I shook my head with a chuckle, and headed down the hall with Emma. We stopped outside and leaned against my red Cadillac. Rupert was by our side a second later, and we all climbed in.

"How come I always have to sit in the back?" Rupert complained from behind the passenger's seat.

"Because, it's my car, I drive. And Emma's a lady, we certainly aren't sticking her back there by herself." I told him. I then reached over and hit the CD button, and a song by Red Hot Chili Peppers blasted from the speakers. The three of us sang along to the music. Rup and Em only knew the words because I made them listen to this CD so many times, but I knew that no matter how much they pretended, they didn't mind my music.

We drove around town for a bit, then Emma decided she needed more clothing, so we went to the shopping district. A majority of the afternoon was spent with me and Rupert following her from store to store, saying she didn't look fat even though we weren't really paying attention, and carrying her bags around. It was 5 o' clock by the time we got back to the filming site, which meant that we had been gone for almost 6 hours. I went into the mansion that was being rented for the cast and crew as a sort of daytime resting place. That way everyone could be together in a bigger place than the trailers. I gathered the papers that I had been going over earlier, and decided to head back to my trailer, where I could have some quiet.

I decided to finish what I had started, and picked up a pen and piece of paper. I began a letter to the girl that I didn't yet know, a Ms. Jade Tanner.

Dear Jade,

Hi, how are you? I wanted to introduce myself before we officially meet. Maybe there won't be as many awkward silences that way. P

The people from the agency sent me a sheet with some information about you on it. According to it, you like baseball. Are you on a team, or do you just play for fun? It also says that you like animals. So do I. You probably already know this, but I have two dogs, Blinka and Nugget. They're great fun, and I'd love for you to meet them. Hm...how come you like roller skating, but not roller blading? You'll have to explain that to me.

I can't wait to meet you and your friends. Rupert and Emma are excited as well. Tom knew about the contest, but hasn't heard who won yet. I'm sure he'll be happy to have you here, too.

I apologize for the shortness of this letter, but I must go. It's quite busy around here, and I have lots to do. Please tell Alexis and Jake (or would he rather be called Jacob?) that I say hi.

Sincerely,

Daniel Radcliffe
