A/N The conversation with Vanessa's uncle doesn't really mean a lot in the whole scheme of the story, but i needed to make my chapter longer, and I needed to make my story seem more real. I also want to let you know that a line of dashes represents change in time. They didn't show up in some of the previous chapters though, sorry to confuse you. Also thank you for all of your comments and subscriptions, keep 'em coming. Love you all 3

Chapter 5

"Wow it's like, vacant in here," Cameron said gazing around at the empty tables.

"We're in a local Canadian pizza shop at 9:30 at night. This isn't exactly their

busiest hour." Matt said sarcastically.

"Well, rush hour or not, I call picking out the table."

"Pick any table you want Cameron, they're all empty," I laughed. "Vanessa and I will go place the order.

"We'll take two large plain pizzas and a pitcher of root beer please." Vanessa said when we reached the counter.

"Just a minute Vanessa."

"Um," I looked at her, a confused and probably nervous look spreading across my

face. "How does he?"

"Baily, meet my uncle Vinny. Uncle Vinny, this is my friend Baily, she on "My

Babysitter's A Vampire" with me." Vanessa introduced me to the man behind the

counter.

"Nice to meet you," he shook my hand and smiled. "I look forward to seeing you

on the show." There was a ding. "Oh, and here are the pizzas." he walked over to

the oven and pulled out two steaming pizza pies. He put them in boxes and handed

them to us. We began to walk away when he called me back. "Hey Baily, would your

last name happen to be Estavato?"

"It would, actually." I said slowly.

"And were you in School of Rock?"

"Did my dad tell you?" I laughed. "Gosh why doesn't he just buy me a billboard?"

"Actually, I just recognized you. I loved that movie, great job by the way."

"Thanks," I turned and followed Vanessa trying not to drop the pitcher of root beer.

"So what did you guys order?" Matt asked jokingly as he helped us prop the pizza boxes onto the tray Vanessa's uncle had given us.

"Pizza," I laughed. "That's all they make at this hour."

"That's all they make here at any hour." Vanessa said setting down the glasses.

We began to talk between bites of delicious pizza. I got to know my cast members as the pizza disappeared from the tray and now they wanted to know about me.

"So how long have you been acting, what other acting have you done? Any other TV or movies? Live theater?" Cameron asked curiously.

I took I sip of my root beer and thought. "Well, I've been acting since I was about 11, so about 7 years." He nodded. "When I was little I was in a commercial for some tooth paste. And then I did a bunch of live theater at local play houses. I guest starred in a bunch of TV shows, and did some extra work. I starred in a movie called "Operation Find My Father." And I recently finished up filming a new movie, that should be out in a month, called "I Don't Belong Here," where I played a crazy teen in a mental institution."

"Operation Find My Father, I saw that. Great job by the way." Matt said.

"Thanks, that was probably one of my biggest roles."

"No, it wasn't," Vanessa smiled. "Your biggest role was in School of Rock."

"You were in School of Rock?" Atticus gasped. "Greatest movie ever!"

"Thanks," I laughed at the funny expression on his face.

"Why didn't you tell us this?" Matt shouted. We all paused to listen to the echo of his words in the empty restaurant.

"You never asked." I said sheepishly.

"She didn't wana seem like she was bragging." Vanessa said.

"That is something to brag about!" Atticus waved his hands in the air frantically. "Now I have something to brag about.I get to work with somebody who was in School of Rock."

We continued to talk, I told them all about my music and promised to sing more for them, and show them the recording studio in my basement. We talked more about me moving here and what I thought about Canada.

I faint beam of light shone in the bottom of my eyes. I looked down at my lap to see my phone. There was a new text message from Vanessa. "Meeting in the bathroom, NOW." the message read.

"Uh, excuse me, I just have to go to the bathroom real quick." I said casually sliding out of the booth. Vanessa followed.

"I gotta go too," she said.

"Women," Matt smirked.

Vanessa led me to the bathroom, pulled me in, and locked the door quickly.

"Admit it, you like Atticus," she smirked.

"I like him a little bit," I said sheepishly, trying not to think of his green eyes, or the way his hair falls perfectly over them.

"You like him," Vanessa sang.

"Okay, I like him," I cracked. "But so, it's not like he likes me any way."

"Did you see the way he was looking at you? I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. I like Cameron, like a lot. And if you and Atticus start dating I was think you know, we could double date." she smiled. "Not that I'm like, using you."

"Okay, I'll think about asking him out." I grinned. "But give me some time."

"Yay," Vanessa cheered. "Now let's go eavesdrop on the boys."

She quietly opened the bathroom door and we slowly crept out. We didn't go far, just far enough to be able to hear the boys. I was glad we were the only people in the restaurant.

"I'm telling you she's my perfect match," it was Atticus.

"Doesn't even matter if I've only known her for a day, this is fate."

"Sorry man but, I'm gonna have to ruin your fate. I'm asking her out." it was Matthew.

"Come on, don't move in on another mans girl."

"She just got here, that makes her fair game."

"I call dibs." Cameron raised his hand.

"You can't call dibs on a lady. Okay, here are the rules. Who ever asks her out, and gets a yes, gets her. Then the others MUST back off. "

"I'll just,"

Atticus cut him off. "And you can't ask her out until tomorrow."

"Fine," Matt and Cameron whined, but the shook with Atticus in it anyway.

Vanessa and I began walking back to the table.

"Act natural," Atticus mumbled.

"Welcome back ladies," Cameron said cooly. Matt kicked him.
