A/N so this chapter was going to be about Kendall and Jo but their story needs to be fleshed out more so it will be about Carlos and Stephanie. Enjoy!
The Palm Woods lobby
"I just don't know about this Stephanie. I'm not sure I want to be major villain in your new movie. I just don't think I'm cut out to be the bad guy" Carlos says looking at Stephanie with puppy dog eyes.
"But Carlos please do this for me" Stephanie pleads with him. "It will be a great movie and you will be great in it."
As Carlos is getting ready to respond two guys are walking through the Palm Woods lobby checking out Stephanie. Before Carlos gets a word out in reply the guy on the right pipes up "I wouldn't mind being in your movie. Especially if I would be working close to you." He says smiling at Stephanie.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" Carlos demands scrambling up out of his seat. Carlos gets in the kids face, "You know what? It doesn't matter who you are or who you think you are" Carlos's veins are popping out and he is gesticulating wildly. Stephanie comes over to try and drag Carlos away. She gets her body in between the two guys and pushes Carlos away.
"My name is Chris!" the new kid yells as Carlos is dragged away by Stephanie into an awaiting elevator. Chris tries to break away from the guy he is with only to find that a firm hand is clamped on his arm.
"Just let it go dude" Roy whispers into Chris's ear. "It's not worth it man."
"I know I'm just tired of everyone treating me like shit" Chris says "it's the same no matter where I go."
In the Elevator
"Carlos I like this energy. I want you to use this energy in the movie!" Stephanie explains as she touches his arm. She is bewildered though as he pulls away as if her touch burned him.
"Is that all you think about Stephanie? Your stupid movie? Do you even think about me or anyone else for that matter?" Carlos says his voice getting louder with each word. The doors open and he steps out and looks at Stephanie. "When you figure out what you want let me know" he tells Stephanie as the doors clang close. He thinks to himself "I need Fruitsmackers to calm down."
Carlos takes the stairs down to the lobby and elicits a ton of stares from the people still down there. Fortunately Chris was nowhere to be seen. As he buys his candy he turns around and is face to face with an incredibly cute girl. "Sorry" carlos mumbles as he brushes past her.
"Hey, it's not a problem" the girl replies with a smile on her face. "Aren't you a member of Big time Rush?" she asks shyly.
"Yeah my name is Carlos" he replies with a smile. "Who are you? I haven't seen you around here before" he replies with his customary bluntness.
"My name is Gwendolyn Jones. I saw you almost get in a fight earlier" she says almost shyly.
Carlos shakes in head still angry about the confrontation. "I'm sorry usually I am a lot more calm than that. There is something about that idiot that really makes my blood boil, but I can't think of where I've seen him before" Carlos says with a look of concentration on his face.
"Well I just wanted to let you know that I thought it was sweet the way you stuck up for your girlfriend like that. I think it says a lot for a person that they are willing to stick up for the people they care about." Gwen says with a smile on her face.
Carlos is taken back because he isn't sure if she is hitting on him or not. "Thanks but technically we aren't dating, just close friends. She is too wrapped up in her directing career to be worried about dating me" Carlos says wondering why he is spilling his guts to a complete stranger.
"Well you deserve to be with someone who will appreciate you. Here is my number" Gwen says writing her number down on Carlos' hand. "Call or text me anytime, Carlos" she says with a flirty flip of her hair and she walks away. Carlos is blown away by the turn of events over the past hour. He is excited he got a girl's number and he is excited that is a girl with no frills judging by the fact she didn't have any makeup on. He walks aimlessly thinking about everything that has happened.
