It can be fun to be famous, but sometimes it can go to your head. It can make you act obnoxious and seem like a real jerk, even if you don't mean to be. Davis is about to get a view of that. At the moment, he and Ken are at school now, but Yolei came running in and looked excited.
"Guys! You're never going to believe this!" Yolei said. "You heard that new student that will be coming to our school? It's actually the famous actress: Ashely Allson."
"Get out!" Ken said as he was surprised by that. "She's the star of that hit show, Teen Monster Huntress. She's also ranks in the top ten of the hottest teen actresses."
"I've heard of her." Davis said. "How come she's coming here?"
"Rumor is that she wants to finish her high school education and she's decided to come to this school." Yolei said.
"So she just wants to be a normal person for a while." Davis said. "Okay. So we just have to play it cool when we're around her."
"I'm so excited. I can't believe we're going to be in the same class as a celebrity!" Yolei said. Everyone heard of the news and they were all pretty excited for it.
"What am I? Chopped liver?" Davis said to the both of them. "After all, you two know who I am."
"Yeah, but Davis Motomiya isn't that glamorous." Yolei said and Davis felt a little insulted.
"She's coming!" A student said. All the students got excited as their new famous student was about to enter.
"Class. Say hello to our new student, Teen Monster Huntress: Ashely Allson." The teacher said. All of them cheered as a blonde beautiful girl with straight hair came in and everyone cheered.
"Thank you. It's nice to be here." Ashely said. "It's nice to meet everyone here. As you all know, I'm Ashely Allson. I just want to say I'm glad to be here."
"Miss Allson, is there anything you like to tell the class?" The teacher asked.
"Yes." Ashely said. "Listen, I know what you all think of me. I know I'm the star of Teen Monster Huntress and all that other stuff, but I want you all to know that I really am just a regular person. I'm not really that much different from the rest of you."
"See?" Davis said as he could sympathize with her.
"But you're….Ashely Allson!" Yolei cheered and everyone cheered for Ashely. Despite what she said, she actually welcomed it.
"Excuse me, Miss Hollywood, but if you're a regular person, how come the news is here?" Davis said.
"Excuse me?" Ashely said. Davis pointed to the door and saw a newswoman come in through the class.
"Hello. Robin Willow. I'm here to cover the story of Ashely here being a normal kid. You don't mind, do you?"
"A news crew in my classroom? How's my hair?" The teacher said.
"Don't really care since this is Ashely's story." Robin said. "Okay, kids. Just act like everything is normal, but we're going to need some makeup on Ashely and some pretty kids around her." All the students ran as fast as they could to get in the shot with her.
"Still think she wants to be normal?" Ken said.
"Not anymore." Davis said as he was thinking Ashely didn't really meant what she just said. The whole school became aware of Ashely and they were all trying to get as close to her as they could. "Move it. Out of the way!" Davis and Ken were trying to push through the crowd and were able to get through.
"Man. They're going at her as if their lives depend on it." Ken said.
"Oh please." Davis said. "It's probably because she welcomes all of it. Seems like someone enjoys the attention."
"Weren't you the one that said she wanted to feel like a normal person?" Ken said.
"That was before I saw the cameras and the bragging." Davis said.
"You sure you're no just jealous that she's getting all the attention when no one really knows who you are?" Ken said.
"I'm not jealous. I'm just annoyed that she's welcoming all of it." Davis said.
"Maybe she's not as bad as you think." Ken said.
"And that's when I told the president that I couldn't have anymore." Ashely said as she walked by with a bunch of students and was talking to the news lady. Everyone was enjoying her being here. Ashely looked over and spotted Davis and Ken. Ken seemed excited to see her, but Davis was annoyed. "Hi."
"Yeah. Hi." Davis said, but Ashely thought it was strange how he said that.
"Ashely, let's get you some shots over there." Robin said.
"Later." Ashely said as she walked on ahead. The other students followed after her and practically pushed Davis and Ken out of the way like a stampede.
"Okay. Maybe this isn't normal, but Ashely could still be a nice person." Ken said, but he didn't see Davis. "Davis? Where'd you go?"
"In here!" Davis called with his head down a trash can. "Get me out of here! The frogs we dissected are in here!" Ken hurried over and helped get Davis out of there. Going to school with a celebrity isn't easy.

The Penthouse
Davis was able to make it back home, but he was still annoyed about the whole day.
"Hey, Davis." Miley said. "I saw your school was on the news. So you got yourself a new student that's a celebrity? Seems like you got some competition."
"For what? Being a spoiled princess?" Davis said. "That Ashely wins. She claims she's like everyone else, but that was nothing, but a big act. People are following her like a queen bee and the fact that our school is on the news does not say normal."
"I take it you're annoyed." Miley said.
"You're darn right. She might be a big time celebrity, but if she was serious about being normal, she tell those people to take a hike" Davis said.
"Give her a break, Davis." Miley said. "She probably had no say in the matter. You know, back when I was in school, I had a similar problem. This big celebrity named Jake Ryan came to my school as well. I thought he was an obnoxious jerk, but I learned I was wrong. At least that was what I thought at first before I learned further down the road he is. Sounds like this Ashely is your Jake."
"So what happened between you and this Jake?" Davis said.
"Well….. I actually fell for him and we dated for a while." Miley said.
"What?!" Davis said.
"My point is that there might be more to this Ashely than you think." Miley said. "Maybe she is a nice person and you should just give her a chance. Imagine if it was you. You wouldn't want people to think your rude or anything, would you?" Davis gave it some thought and thought he was being a little unfair.
"Fine. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt." Davis said. "That doesn't mean I have to like it." Davis is willing to give Ashely a chance, but he's hoping she better shape up soon.
…
The Next Day
Davis went to school and thought of giving Ashely a real chance. Davis was on his way to his locker, but he saw it wasn't there anymore. It was replaced by a light up sign with Ashely's name on it.
"What the heck?" Davis said. He looked around and spotted the janitor. "Janitor dude, where's my locker?! Why is there an Ashely sign where my locker use to be?"
"I thought Ashely could use something to always perk up her day." The janitor said and that was when Ashely showed up and saw the sign.
"Oh my gosh! Did you do this for me? I love it!" Ashely said with the janitor flattered.
"Great. So can someone tell me where MY LOCKER IS?!" Davis said.
"Oh…. This was your locker?" Ashely said.
"Yeah. Now where is it as well as all my stuff?" Davis said.
"Calm down, David." The janitor said.
"It's Davis. There's an S instead of a D at the end." Davis said.
"Who cares?" The janitor said. "All your stuff is right here." He handed him a garbage bag with all his stuff in it. "You're locker is this way." The janitor showed him where it was and they were at the entrance of the boiler room.
"You're kidding, right?" Davis said.
"Nope. Here." The janitor said as he handed him a bag of cheese. "You're going to need them for the rats." Rats? Ashely gets a flashy sign and Davis gets rats? Things are not looking up for Davis.

The Penthouse
Davis had a rough day when he had to make it back and forth with his new locker. Davis was able to make it home, but he had scratches and rips through his clothes.
"What happened to you?!" Miley said.
"I gave Ashely the benefit of the doubt….and it got me rats!" Davis said. "Quick questions. Can you get rabies from rats?" Things were not looking up for Davis as things kept going up for Ashely.
….
The Next Day
It still isn't easy for Davis with Ashely as his new classmate. She's getting everything she wants and he seems to be miserable because of it. He's having a hard time seeing Ashely as really a good person because she doesn't seem to care
"Okay, class. I want silence during this test." The teacher said as he passed out some papers for a test. Silence was one thing that's going to be hard to get with Davis' stomach going off.
"Since when does a bear live in your stomach?" Yolei said.
"I had a Jason thing last night and got home late. I didn't have time for breakfast." Davis said. Davis had to keep his stomach quiet. So he reached for a banana he had. He was about to eat, but the teacher took his fruit.
"Mr. Motomiya, there's no eating in my class." The teacher said and threw it away and now Davis is starving. It was a different story for Ashely as she just came in.
"Sorry, I'm late." Ashely said. "I had a late night filming and I got home a little late."
"That's okay, Ashely. Just take your seat and get ready for my test." The teacher said as he acted like it was no big deal. Ashely took the test and took her seat. Davis couldn't believe this. It got worse as Robin opened the door and a lunch lady carrying breakfast food on a trey for Ashely.
"Sorry. I didn't get the chance to eat breakfast either." Ashely said.
"That's okay. It's the most important meal of the day." The teacher said.
"Come on! That isn't fair!" Davis said.
"Quiet, Mr. Motomiya. Focus on the test." The teacher said. Davis couldn't believe this. He strikes out again and Ashely gets more perks.
"Hey, Davis. Do you have an extra pencil I can borrow?" Ashely said.
"No. Stop talking before you get us both in trouble." Davis said.
"Here. You can borrow mine." Yolei said as she handed Ashely one and Ashely took.
"Don't you have any shame?" Davis said. "Now how are you going to finish your test?"
"Oh yeah. You got an extra pencil?" Yolei said.
"Weren't you listening?!" Davis said.
"Mr. Motomiya! Didn't I say there should be silence?" The teacher said.
"It's Ashely's fault!" Davis said.
"He's right. I…" "No, Miss Allson. You don't have to cover for Mr. Motomiya's bad behavior." The teacher said.
"Me?! She's eating in class, she was late, she's talking, but she gets off free?!" Davis said. He was causing a scene and Robin was taking an interest in this. "That isn't fair. Just because she's a big celebrity, it doesn't really mean she's better than the rest of us!"
"Well, let's see what the principle thinks of your comments." The teacher said. Davis couldn't believe this. He didn't really do anything wrong, but he's being sent to the principle. Since he didn't have a choice, he just grabbed his stuff and left.
"Wait." Ashely said as she stood up. "I'm the one you want. Leave him alone." Ashely was really standing up for Davis? "That's from an upcoming scene we're doing." So much for that. Everyone still loved it and cheered for her and Davis hated it. Ashely reached inside her bag and pulled out an autograph photo of her. "Here, Davis. The principle has been wanting one. This might soften the blow." She said as she handed it over to him.
"She never stops giving." The teacher said.
"Then she can give it herself." Davis said as he crippled the photo into a ball and tossed it with it bouncing against Ashely's head and everyone gasped. Robin saw a story and went in.
"Well, it looks like not everyone is thrilled to have Ashely Allson here." Robin said.
"You better believe it, sister." Davis said. He faced Ashely and was at his limit with her. "I actually thought you came here because you wanted to be normal, but I was wrong. You're just an obnoxious princess." Davis walked right out and left an impact on Ashely and the whole class.
….
Davis
Davis still got in trouble for what happened at class. He gets in trouble and Ashely gets out of it. When school was over, Davis was sulking by stuffing his face with ice cream.
"Don't people usually go for that stuff when they break up with someone?" Davis turned around and saw T.K. was there.
"T.K.? What do you want?" Davis said. "Came here to give me a hard time about what I said to Ashely? A lot of other people already have."
"Yeah. I heard about what happened there." T.K. said. "Kari did as well." Davis thought he was going to feel worse with what Kari thought about that. "She thought it was pretty cool of you. So did I."
"Huh?" Davis said.
"Yeah. Not many people probably had the courage to say something like that." T.K. said. At least he got a couple people on his side.
"Hey, Davis." Davis looked and saw Ashely was able to find him. "Is it okay if we talk for a minute?"
"I think that's something that should be done. Later." T.K. said as he left the two of them.
"What do you want?" Davis said as he had just about all he can take of her.
"I wanted to apologize for what happened back at class." Ashely said. "I'm not really a bad person and I hope I can prove that to you."
"Why do you care what I think?" Davis said.
"Well, you're really the only the one that doesn't treat me like a superstar and I like it." Ashely said. "Also….I think you're cute."
"You think I'm cute?!" Davis said as he was surprised by that.
"Look, I know I came across as some ego maniac, but that's only because my fans love me and are always do stuff like today." Ashely said. "I just didn't want to come across as rude or ungrateful, but it can get pretty annoying sometimes."
"You really think so?" Davis said as he can understand that and was thinking he was all wrong.
"Yeah. Davis, I…" "Ashely Allson!" A crowd of people started coming at her and pushed Davis out of the way. Ashely welcomed the crowd, but Davis got annoyed again and left with Ashely feeling bad for him.
…..
The Penthouse
Davis was still moping about today. He just finished telling Miley all that happened.
"At least she apologized." Miley said. "You going to be okay? I bet it's not easy dealing with that Ashely, isn't it?"
"Not really." Davis said. "I'm not even sure if her apology was sincere. I'm about fifty percent sure about that. I just wish I knew what to do about her."
"Sometimes people just let the fame go to their heads." Miley said. "Maybe you should just ignore her and continue on like she isn't even there. That is what I would say, but that be hard when she has an entire crowd following her around."
"Hey!" Jesse said as he came in and turned on the television. "You might want to see this." He turned on the news and showed it was Davis' school with Robin.
"Sadly, our time with Ashely Allson must come to an end because she asked us to stop filming." Robin said. "She said she wants to be a normal student and normal students don't have news crews following them. Maybe it has something to do with the comments a certain student said about her."
"She really did that?" Davis said.
"I guess you were wrong about her again." Miley said and Davis was starting to think so. That was when his phone was going off and he saw it was Ashely.
"Ashely? How did she even get my number?" Davis said and started to face chat with her.
"Hey, Davis." Ashely said. "I get if you don't want to hear from me, but I just wanted to show you something." She moved the phone and showed her some lockers.
"Lockers?" Davis said.
"Your locker. I had the sign removed." Ashely said as she turned the phone back to him. "I told you I wasn't a bad person. I'll see you in school tomorrow." She actually winked at him and ended the call.
"Wow. That was pretty cool of her." Miley said.
"If you ask me, she also seems to like you." Jesse said.
"What? You're crazy. No way I would ever go out her." Davis said. He thought he meant that when he said that, but perhaps there is more to her than he thought.
