I am so sorry! I was just really busy the entire week and I had writer's block (that's why I had a new one-shot). Here's chapter 15...
15. Just Friends, Really
"So, how are you?" The editor began.
"I'm great, thanks," I replied.
"Well, let's get started, shall we?" the editor said. "Everyone who's a big fan, including me, knows you're a pure American. How come you decided to begin your career here?"
"Actually, it was not my decision to make," I began. "Turns out Mr. Jameson was a Forks High alumnus, just like me. He flew all the way back there to look for someone to take back. They held an audition there, but nobody was chosen. Then, he bumped into Miss Hale, a former teacher of mine, who showed him my album and had a conference with me. The rest, as they say, is history."
"So you've already recorded an album?"
"Yes, but only for our school prom."
"Aha. Okay, here's another one. I'm pretty sure you have a celebrity crush. Care to tell us who?"
I laughed at the question. OMG, I'd forgotten about my crush on him. "Caleb James," I replied confidently. "I mean, which teenage girl didn't have a crush on him?"
"So you're actually experiencing a dream come true?"
"Yeah. It was definitely awesome, having him as my tour guide. It's been twelve years since I last came here."
"A lot of people are seeing you with Caleb all the time. What's the status of your relationship?"
"Friends. We're best friends now, actually he's been there with me all the way since I got here, but we're not taking it to the next level."
"I see," the editor said. "What do you look for in a guy?"
I looked at Jacob and thought about it for a few seconds.
"Someone who'd stand my antics, who understands me perfectly well, who's been there always and someone who won't use me as a trophy," I replied. And I definitely found that in Jake, I wanted to say. But I can't reveal him to the world just yet.
"Anything you want to say to your fans?"
"Well, if there are any," I began. "I just want to thank them all for the support and the love. If not for them, I wouldn't have gotten as far as getting a gold record label in a week and a half. So, just a lot of thanks."
"Okay, that's just about it," the editor said, flipping the notebook close. "Let's get you into hair and make-up!"
Well, what really happened was I just got my hair softened up and straightened just a teensy bit since the make-up artist said I already looked like I had make up on.
The photo shoot lasted for an hour and a half. Jacob and Caleb were staring at me and smiling.
Afterwards, we got to check the pictures out.
"Wow, not bad," the photographer commented. "With these frames, we don't have to do any digital editing. Have you ever thought of becoming an editorial model?"
The four of us just laughed, but Jake and I did so uneasily.
After the photo shoot, they gave me some sort of questionnaire that I had to answer for the editorial.
Things I couldn't live without? My guitar, my piano, my music room, music, my family (I could've written blood, but I didn't).
Favorite pastime? Songwriting.
There were a lot of questions where I could say so much, but I decided to keep my mouth shut since it might be too much of a giveaway.
I loved the last question.
Something that would surprise people? I could've written I'm a vampire, but instead I scribbled, I believe in vampires and werewolves on the blank.
I can't wait for everyone to read it.
I'm focusing on the Harry Potter side of me again because I feel like I'm neglecting my Potter fics nowadays. I'm also on the search for Filipino fic writers. I'll update soon :)
