POV: Emma Miller

Kendall is really cute. Especially when he has a biscuit stuffed in his mouth.

"You're disgusting!" Jo punched him in the shoulder.

He laughed and swallowed.

I could see the way that Kendall and Jo stared at each other. It was clearly evident that there was something going on between them.

"When's the movie starting?" I asked.

Kendall held up his wrists, looking blankly from one to the other. "I don't have a watch."

Jo punched him again. "You have a phone!"

"I know. It starts in about an hour and a half."

"Okay." I reached for another biscuit.

I was glad that Carlos left. But I liked Camille. She and Jo were like best friends.

"So, Emma," Kendall started. "How'd you get lucky enough to get into the Palmwoods?"

"Just like everyone," I answered, "Talent."

"What do you do?"

"I'm the keyboard player in a band with some of my friends."

"Cool."

Cool indeed.

Kayla Ostman and Martha Higgins were my best friends. Kayla was the lead singer and Martha was back-up vocals. We share apartment 3B

Darren Ralles, Lee Morgans, and Micah Grimm are in 3C. Darren is lead guitar, Lee's bass, and Micah rules the drums.

Kayla Ostman, a.k.a. Mrs. Bookworm. If she's not rehearsing, eating, or sleeping, she has her nose stuck in a book, or is writing her own.

Martha… we're all convinced that she's insane. She's Kayla's adopted sister, but kept her last name.

Darren. Poor, poor Darren. He had an abusive childhood. His parents were always on drugs and beat him and his siblings. He was in foster care until we moved out here. He usually kept to himself.

Lee had a better life… kinda. He was on the streets for three years until a good family took him in about 8 years ago. Now, he always freaking flips out when he gets hungry.

Micah had the best history of the three guys. His parents got divorced a few months before he was born. He lived with his mom until we got discovered.

When we were leaving the restaurant, my phone buzzed. Ugh. It was a text from Kayla.

Dude! Dare's havin' a total freak-out moment! Get home, now!!!

"Jo, I have to go," I said. "One of the guys is freaking out."

"Okay. I'll see you later."

I ran to 3C and went through the unlocked door.

Darren was huddled in a corner, knees tucked to his chest. His bright green eyes were darting around under his dark brown hair that was hanging in his eyes.

"Dare, what's wrong?"

He pressed himself even more against the wall. "She's here." He pointed at Kayla, who was about to die of laughter on the couch.

POV: Kendall Knight

I was a little glad that Emma let. I wanted to be alone with Jo, but I didn't at the same time.

"Movie time." Jo smiled and entwined her fingers in mine.

I swallowed. "Just what I was thinking."

For the next two hours, her hand almost never left fine. I was so distracted by it that the only part of the movie that caught my attention was when Jo started to cry.

Our walk back to the Palmwoods was short and sweet. But too short and not sweet enough.

"That was a good movie, wasn't it?" Jo asked.

"I… I wasn't paying attention all that much," I admitted.

She laughed, hunching her shoulders a bit and crossed her arms over her chest.

"You cold?" I asked.

"A little."

I dropped my arm around her waist.

Passing James and Carlos in the pool, I gave them a subtle nod, a smug grin on my face.

"I think Emma might be asleep," Jo said as we turned a corner to her room. "She's a heavy sleeper."

We stopped outside of her door, her leaning against it.

"I'll… see you tomorrow," she said.

"Yeah." I rested my hand in the door over her shoulder.

I took a deep breath, put my other hand on her waist, and kissed her.

God, it was amazing.

While Jo and I were standing there with our lips pressed together, I felt Logan's nerd-waves hitting me, and heard Destinee's voice.

Jo was much, much more important.
