I woke up this morning with the idea to go to the park.

ZuZu.

ZuZu: Huh?

Jasmine: Be quiet Sam, just go.

Rocky: Yeah. Maybe we can finally find you a boyfriend...or girlfriend.

Angel: (Irritated sigh)

Whatever.

I rolled my eyes and threw the covers off me. I went into the bathroom and did my morning tasks.

Once I was done, I searched through the my closet for clothes to wear. I picked a Cosby looking sweatshirt and paired it with patterned pants and red Docs.

Back out in my room, I put my phone, wallet, sketch book/lyric book, marker, pencils, iPod and headphones into my Ouija board style backpack and went into the kitchen.

I found my sister sitting on the counter drinking coffee. I live with my sister in a 2 bedroom apartment in downtown Los Angeles.

Theresa is renting studio space to teach dance classes until she has enough money to get someplace to start her own dance company. She works part time as an assistant to this fashion designer, Kathryn Denori. She makes good money so it's worth it.

"Morning"

"Hey. How did the five of you sleep?"

"Fine"

"Where are you going?"

"ZuZu wants to go to the park, Jazz and Rocky are on her side, and Angel had nothing to say, so I guess we're going"

She laughed.

"A six year old is telling you where to go?"

"Obviously, with two supporters"

"Have fun"

"I'll try. Later"

(At The Park)

I found this bench in the shade under a tree. I got out my book and a pen, threw my Beats on and started listening to this beat I made for a song. It's called Work.

This song made me think about my life and how I wanted to make something of myself. I got inspired by my family.

Once I finished, I heard clapping. I looked up to find a small crowd had formed. I guess I had started to spit without realizing.

Soon the people disappeared except this one guy that approached me.

"Excuse me, can I talk to you for a second?"

I thought it over. This guy didn't look shady and we were in public so I guess I was safe.

"Sure"

He handed me a card.

"My name is Walter Millsap. I work at Interscope Records"

"I've heard of you before. My name is Samara"

We shook hands.

"It's nice to meet you. Now I have to say, you have got major talent"

"Really?"

"Yes. Have you ever considered getting signed to a label?"

"Sort of. I was never sure if I could get to that point"

"Well you definitely can. What are doing tomorrow?"

"Nothing"

"Great. I'll set up a meeting with some people and we'll talk about you getting signed"

"Thank you"

"It's not a problem. Now just come to the address on the card at noon, okay?"

"Sure"

"Great, I'll see you tomorrow"

And he left.

Jasmine: I'm not sure if you noticed but that was all me.

Can you say glory hog?

She laughed.

ZuZu?

ZuZu: Yes Sammie?

You know I love you right?

ZuZu: *Giggle* I wuv you too.

I was so excited. I called Theresa right away.

"Hello?"

"Hey. Where are you?"

"Home. I have a couple weeks off since KD is out of town. Why?"

"Stay there. You'll never believe what happened"

(At The Apartment)

ZuZu and I burst through the door. She was feeding of Jazz's and I excitement.

I dropped onto to the couch next to Theresa. She looked over the top of her magazine.

"Hi ZuZu" she cooed

I had a toothy grin caused by ZuZu.

"So what's up?"

"Okay, so you know how I can rap right?"

"Yeah"

"Well while I was in the park, I accidentally started doing a "show" and a crowd gathered"

"You're kidding"

"That's not even the best part"

I reached into my bag and took out the business card to give to her.

"You've heard of Walter Millsap right? He was there and he heard me"

"What did he say?"

"That I have a lot of talent and asked me if ever thought of signing to a label"

"I told you that you were good. Did anything else happen?"

"Just that he wants me to meet with him and some other people about me signing to Interscope"

"What?"

"I'm getting signed to -"

"I'm SO proud of you" she said pulling me into a hug.

"Thank you"

(Next Day)

I got up and got ready. Last night, I took the color out of my hair. It was just hair chalk so it came out easy. I'm thinking about getting highlights. Today, I just left it curly from washing it last night.

I settled on black and white split leggings matched with a tank top with a black and white picture of Nirvana on it. A jean jacket with black sleeves and hood. My black Docs, rib cage butterfly necklace, my diamond studs, Y U No Guy bracelet on my left wrist, chain bracelets on my right wrist, corset ring and black knit beret.

I went back into the bathroom to curl my hair and put on mascara and eyeliner. I left my bangs straight and brushed it over my right eye.

"Morning girls"

"Hey Essa. Need something?"

"I was coming for you. You're not 18 yet so you might need me"

"Right, forgot about that"

I looked up from tying my laces. My sister was wearing a dark blue strapless eyelet dress with a black blazer and blue and pink wedges.

She cut her hair really short. I was never gonna do that. My hair is staying near my waist where it belongs.

30 mins later went to McDonalds. After that was an hour drive to Interscope. My heart was beating super fast.

When we got there I couldn't believe my eyes. It looked so amazing. We went inside and walked up to the desk.

"Please hold one moment. Hi, how can I help you?"

"I have a meeting with Walter Millsap at noon"

"And your name?"

"Samara"

"Okay. Just have a seat, he'll be down soon"

"Thank you"

Me and Essa sat down. I was only getting more nervous.

"Calm down, everything will be fine"

10 mins later, he came down.

"It's nice to see you again, Samara. Who is this?"

"My sister Theresa"

"Hi"

"Hello. Let's go upstairs"

All of us took an elevator up to the 5th floor and went into this big room with a long table and chairs on all sides.

He introduced me to some other people like Vincent Herbert. He even had me meet a few people that would be part of my management team.

A few hours later everything was done. I was now signed to Interscopes Records as Supernova the newest singer and female rap phenom.

My new manager, Joy, told me that in few months I'd be going on tour with another artist Tru Vision and we'd both be opening up for Mindless Behavior.

Theresa said she'd come back for me later. They were giving me tour and since we would be coming out around the same time, I was meeting Vision.

We got to this lounge area and there was this dude sitting on a couch texting.

"Vision"

He looked up.

"Hey, Joy..."

Once his eyes landed on me, he didn't finish his sentence.

"Hi" I said shyly

"This is the newest addition to the Interscope family, Supernova"

He came closer.

"Sunny?"

How did he know my nickname?

I studied his face closely. Suddenly it dawned on me and I got dumb excited.

I tackled him into a hug. "JJ!"

He hugged me and spun me around.

"You two know each other?"

"Cousins" he said

"I missed you so much" I said

"I missed you too"

"Well seeing as you two are family, why don't you show her around?"

"No problem"

"I'll see you later, Sam"

"Bye Joy"

JJ or Justin is my cousin. We're exactly the same age but I'm a couple months older. He's pretty much my best friend.

"What are you doing here cuz?"

"I live here with Theresa. Lucas and Shawn joined the army and Tyler's in school"

"Wow. And we just so happen to run into each other here"

"I know, it's weird right?"

"A little. I'm just happy to see my partner again. We 'bout to take over the rap game"

"Yep, eventhough I'm going to be singing too, we gonna shut everything down just like old times"

JJ showed me around but we were mostly goofing off. We caught up on some other stuff from both sides of our families and talked about doing some songs together.
