I'm so glad to have enough OC's to start the real fun! I wanna thank FurryFriends143 for the help :)

Also, I could actually use a few more OC's, but I have enough to start now. PM or leave in a review, and thanks so much!

Lastly, for the karaoke, here is the key. (1: Ariana's lines are in bold, Andre's in italics) (2: Cat, bold, Niall, italics) (3: Tori, bold, Beck, italics) (4: Serianna, bold, Ethan, italics). So basically girls sing the bold parts, guys sing the italics.

Three hours after the gang arrived at Venice Heights dorms, they sat in the huge ballroom, a stage set up in the middle. They were waiting for Alexandra Jones to come give the opening speech.

The gang sat on the first row. Jade sat on the end, Cat by her, Annabella making and appearance with the group, sitting next to Cat. Tori sat on Annabella's other side, listening to Cat tell her about some crazy thing her brother did. She felt a bit sorry for the girl. Jade wasn't speaking to anyone. She had to remember to ask Annabella about that later.

Andre sat on Tori's other side, and next to him, Beck found himself in a bit of a mess with a short, dark haired girl. She was practically in his lap, running a hand through his hair. And he was polite at first. He tried to have a conversation with her. Then when that failed he kindly asked her to leave him alone. And then when that failed he turned to Andre.

"Hey, man, switch me seats."

Across the ballroom, Ava Bowen sat by herself. The New Yorker definitely wasn't the type to sit alone. From her wavy dark blonde hair, to her blue eyes many boys have drowned in. She had the style of any cover girl, and it was clear as day, despite her inner difference from the stereotypical girl of her manner.

Soon she was joined by the compellingly blue-haired Ariana Dekone and Serianna 'Seri' Velequian.

The girls made quite the group. They were different in every way, but came together for the love of preforming. Everyone in the ballroom came together for the love of it, actually.

Ava Bowen was another roommate of Jade and Annabella. The fourth girl, Emily Ann Wowk, stood across the room, wrapped in conversation with Ethan Taylor.

Ethan. James. Taylor. He looked the part of any pretty boy, with his dark brown hair, gorgeous blue eyes and athletic build, although the only time he spent playing sports was with his friends or by himself, not with a team. But that's just the thing about some of the people in the ballroom….

They could be beautiful…..

….talented.

They could seem perfect.

Or, they could wear their flaws and hearts on their sleeves.

But everyone had more depth than meets the eye.

It was really a thing of observation. And that was what Serianna loved best. She sat and watched as Ethan talked to Emily. While the kind, blonde cousin of Cat Valentine had lots of guys looking, Ethan wasn't really into the conversation.

Serianna watched as every so often his eyes would drift towards the front of the room. She couldn't pinpoint who, but it was either Tori, Annabella, or Cat who caught his eye.

Serianna observed as Emily twirled her blonde bangs around her finger in a loop before letting them fall against her face. She was nervous to talk to Ethan. She didn't look like the insecure type. But something told Serianna that looks were deceiving with this bunch.

She watched as Niall Daly, the gorgeous seventeen year old from Ireland, shifted as two girls chirped away in his ear. He seemed almost unused to the attention, which backed up the statement that looks can be deceiving.

See, Serianna was an actress. She wrote songs, lyrics only, and sang when she felt confident, which wasn't often. But mostly, she liked listening. Observing. Not so much as stepping back and letting everyone else have the floor, but simply stopping to smell the roses and know the people.

Alexandra Jones then walked up on the stage and a hush fell across the room. The gorgeous actress flashed a welcomed smile to the students. Her dark brown hair fell in curls around her face, tied together in the back with a ribbon. Her black dress was noted by Ava. It looked like something only the great Alexandra could pull off. The gold accented lace at the top to the black ribbon around the waistline, cascading down in a spiral.

"Welcome! I'll make this brief so the fun can begin. Here at camp, we have three rules. Number one, boys stay in boys' dorms, girls stay in girls' dorms at night. In the day, visit all you want during free hour. Number two, nothing illegal or mean. We don't break the law or judge people here. And number three: no fear. You do everything with confidence here. Like I said, we don't judge. We perform." She made her speech as brief as she insisted it would be, and that was appreciated. Because anything Alexandra Jones did could be appreciated.

"Now, to get us into the swing of things and practice rule three, we are going to play a game. I call it Karaoke Lottery. We have entered the names of all of the students who included singing as one of their talents into this computer, and it will randomly pick two people to come up and sing. You can pick your song, but there's no backing down." She added with a smile.

No questions were raised about it, so she went over to the computer on the small table next to the podium, clicking once, waiting a second, and reading the first two names.

"Ariana Dekone and Andre Harris." She announced.

They both made their way to the stage, looking at the song list for about five seconds before Ariana spoke.

"Ooh, that one!" she said.

Andre seemed impressed with her song selection.

"Okay. Andre and Ariana with Just Past Midnight by Vera Sims." Alexandra said as she went to stand off to the side of the stage.

The lights dimmed, spotlights were brought out, and the words were put up on the screen near the back of the ballroom, though neither needed the words. (See top for key)

Just past midnight

The lights are too bright

I'm wide awake but too tired to fight

Ariana sang smoothly, her voice as exotic as her hair. Like a mixture of Jade and Cat's voices, with a hint of an unknown spice.

The music gets louder every second I dance

It doesn't matter if you spare me another glance

I know in ten minutes you'll be begging me to talk to you

Andre fired the lyrics back with the spirit he always put into his music. Ariana's eyes widened, and by the time the song was over, she was completely captured. Not love at first sight, love at first sound. She wasn't sure if she just loved his voice or if it was more, but she intended to find out.

Next to sing were Cat and Niall. At first he seemed a bit bored, and maybe a bit uncomfortable, but by the time they hit the chorus, he was looking like the performer he is.

Take a step back

Looking from a distance

But it's too hard to be resisting

We both got cheated

I think we need a new card game

One day with you and I won't remember her name

Oh, run with what we have now

Don't look back to what you had

She treated you bad, she treated you bad

I know I won't regret taking your hand

Time will pass like hourglass sand

Yes, one day with you

One day with you

And I won't remember

And I won't remember

My name (sang together)

They finished the song a minute later and were rewarded with loud applause similar to what Ariana and Andre received.

And then the shocker of the night: Beck and Tori. As they walked up on stage, Serianna ran up to Tori and whispered something in her ear.

"If you wanna knock 'em dead, you should sing-"

Tori frowned, and then nodded. Something was strange about Serianna, but her gut told her to listen.

She walked up on stage, and before Beck could object, she took the mic.

"We're gonna sing 'Don't You Want Me'. If…that's okay with Beck." She added with embarrassment.

She had always had feelings for him. And she hated turning him down during the PMA's. But it was just a song, right? She wasn't hurting Jade, right?

Right…..

And the music began.

You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar

When I met you

I picked you out; I shook you up, and turned you around

Turned you into someone new

Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet

Success has been so easy for you

But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now

And I can put you back down too

Don't...don't you want me

You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me

Don't…don't you want me

You know I don't believe it when you say that you don't need me

(together)

It's much too late to find

You think you've changed your mind

You better change it back or we will both be sorry

Don't you want me, baby

Don't you want me, Oohh oh oh

Don't you want me, baby

Don't you want me, Oohh oh oh

As the song continued, Beck found himself leaving the song. He found himself really meaning what he said. He was remembering the PMA's, how she turned him down. And she saw that. At first she kept looking at Jade, but then she got lost in the song. The confident edge to her voice had her laughing in between verses. She genuinely enjoyed this, even though it was only opening night.

Eventually, it was over, and, and Jade looked at neither of them. She didn't want to sort through what she felt. Because whatever it was, she didn't want to feel it.

And then Serianna and Ethan were called up. Ethan pointed to one, and Serianna's eyes lit up at his taste in music.

Down in the front, Annabella kept her head as low as Jade's.

Don't look at Ethan. That was then, this is now. YOU turned HIM down, not the other way around.

When Beck and Tori sang, she could imagine it being her and Ethan up on that stage instead. She'd been the only one to turn him down. And she wasn't sure if that was a brilliant or stupid choice.

Separate Ways, by Journey, began to play.

Here we stand

Worlds apart

Hearts broken in two, two two

Sleepless nights

Losing ground

I'm reaching for you, you, you

Serianna sang, heart and soul. It was her favorite feeling. She wasn't often brave enough, but she couldn't have backed out, so she instead enjoyed it. She always felt like she was a mediocre singer, but the cheers said otherwise.

If he ever hurts you

True love won't desert you.

Nooooo

Nooooo

And the song was over. Everyone was tired, but who said sleep was on the list? The students returned to their dorms, their happiness apparent.

But it wasn't ALL fun and games.

But…but, but, but.

They could always try to make it that way.

Because adventure WAS on the list.

Lol, the last line was so cheesy.

Okay, so starting next chapter, it will be OC's POVs.

Here are a few questions to answer in a review!
-Who's your favorite and least favorite OC?

-What pairing should be used?

-What all do you want to happen?

-Is you character well written?

THANKS!

I wrote this late, so sorry for any errors. I proofread, but who knows!
