Thank you for hitting the next button! This is where our story begins . . .

Kendall sat on the recliner on the edge of the pool. his hand were behind his head and his feet were crossed. He had on his Ferrari sunglasses and was feeling pretty sweet. Next to him was Carlos, Logan, and James. They were all sitting in a line and were sipping on fresh Lime Mango smoothies.

"Ah, Hollywood." James said, basking in the surplus sunset.

"The only place on Earth you can sip shattered ice and slaughtered fruit out of a hairy fruit." Carlos said going in for another slurp of his drink.

Kendall laughed. "Amen."

Logan took off his sunglasses and turned to the closest one to him, James. "We need to study our Spanish for our exam on Thursday."

"Come on, dude. We're in L.A. and all you can think about is homework? You're a disgrace to teenagers everywhere."

"Thanks a bundle Sir Flunked-third-grade."

"Fine, I'll help you study. And I only flunked because Ms. Tantaga was out to get me." James shot him a look. "But you have to come with me to get my textbook." Logan nodded and they started to walk away.

Carlos sat up, too. He explained to Kendall, "They have a new gift shop over there. I hear they got some T-shirts that they'll put your face on! I've always wanted to wear me." Before he got up and dashed after James and Logan, leaving Kendall alone once again.

Sometimes it was nice just to be alone. That was when Kendall could just relax and think about weird things like what he would do if he was a super spy.

The pool made subtle flowing sounds that reminded him of the ocean and he could hear the chatter of random people, which had always soothed him since we was in Pre-K. That's when he noticed her.

There were two girls walking toward the pool from the building. The one on the left was hot. She had a lovely tan spread across her muscular legs and her hair was bleached a light brown from the sun. Her white shorts didn't leave much to the imagination and she wore bulky sunglasses.

But she wasn't the one he found himself staring at.

Next to her was a slightly shorter girl. Her hair was a warm milk chocolate and cascaded down her shoulders in waves. Her face was a little freckled and she had lines by her eyes from laughing all the time. She wore a tank top with little blue music notes on it and had converse with a heart painted on each toe. But her eyes, ah, her eyes were the same blue as the sky and they twinkled with happiness.

Something about her made his heart stop. Kendall found himself smiling for no apparent reason.

Her friend was saying something to her, and she half-heartedly smiled, before nodding and rolling her eyes while her friend hugged her, squealed, and ran to join some jock at the hot tub. She was left alone.

A man bumped into her and she spilled the contents of her bag onto the deck. automatically, Kendall jumped up and scurried to her side, helping her pick up her papers.

She was kneeling right next to him. As he picked up one of her papers, he couldn't help but glance at the intricate design and hearts on it. "Oh," He said, looking at it more now, "Are you an artist?"

She alarmingly and quickly swiped the picture back, "Uh, yeah." She stuffed it into her bag and stood up, now that all her belongings were safely back inside. "Thanks for the help . . . ?"

"Kendall." He said, smiling and sticking out his hand to her.

"Hi," she replied jollily and her eyes sparkled, "I'm Jenny."

Her friend yelled for her across the pool. Jenny rolled her blue eyes and yelled back, "It's in your pocket!"

Her friend checked her pocket and, sure enough, produced a cell phone. She waved back and yelled "Thanks!" before proceeding to write down her number on some guys arm.

"Who was that?"

"Kelsey. She's my best friend, has been since I was a little kid." She turned back to Kendall, "So what do you do? I mean, you have to have some sort of talent to get in here."

Maybe I wasn't meant to be loved for me. The thought coursed through Kendall's head and he had a sudden urge not to tell her about his band. Think of something, Kendall! "Uh . . . , I'm still figuring out what I want to do. You know . . . so many good choices!"

He sounded like an idiot.

Luckily, she bought it.

"That's cool. I'm an actress." She said, glancing over Kendall's shoulder at Kelsey to see if she was getting into any trouble.

Kendall pretended not to notice. "Oh. Have I seen you in any shows or movies?"

Jenny looked over his shoulder again but this time she had a look of sudden alarm. "I got to go, Kendall. It was nice meeting you. I'll see you around?" She quickly walked around him toward Kelsey, unintentionally pushing him a little.

He turned around "Yeah! I'll see you around!" but she didn't hear him because she was too busy scolding Kelsey. Kelsey said something and Jenny sighed, but smiled and hugged her. Then they laughed and Kelsey swaggered into the building, with her friend following her and listening to the story Kelsey was telling.

Wow.

Okay, since this story is really easy to write and I seem not to have a social life (jk) I can probably update regularly.

PS just BTW i can never pronounce 'probably' right. I mean in my head I got it down but when I talk it sounds like "pro- bab-bibly"

Idk
