Jade's POV:
Allison and me decided that we would go straight to bed last night, and surprisingly, we did. We woke up at about 8:00 and started to get ready. Today we were going to have to start rehearsing for group week and we needed to get our butts downstairs and work hard. This was going to be a long day.
"C'mon
Alli! We have to get downstairs and start rehearsing! The guys are
probably on their way right now!" I yelled as Allison ran to find
her phone.
"Found it! Now let's go!" she said finally
finding her phone under her bed. She grabbed my arm and we both ran
downstairs.
We looked around the room and found Adam and Kris both reading the song "Some Kind Of Wonderful" and eating doughnuts at the same time. We made our way to them and sat down.
"Looks like some girls overslept this morning." Adam said
with a smug look on his face.
"We did not over sleep! Well some
one!" I looked at Allison and then continued, "Couldn't find
her phone this morning." We then all looked at Allison and she
thought she was in trouble so tried to change the subject.
"Does
it really matter? I mean we're here aren't we?" She said
nervously. We all still looked at her because we knew she didn't
like it. For some reason, we all like teasing each other. "Now
let's get rehearsing!" She said clapping her hands and sitting
next to Kris so she could read the lyrics. I sat next to Adam, which
got him to smile.
The day went by pretty fast. It's about 10:00PM and we are still working on our choreography, but at least we are having fun. Most groups hate each other.
"I don't
care if you cry!" We suddenly heard. It was Nancy Wilson yelling at
her team mate Kristin McNamara. Kristin was a blonde girl, and was
very nice to people, but Nancy on the other hand was yelling at her
because Kristin wanted to rest her voice. Kristin suddenly stood up
and walked away still crying.
"Hey guys you don't mind if I
go and talk to her do you?" I asked concerned about her.
"No
not at all." Adam said. I ran to find her. She was sitting on a
chair still crying.
"Hey, are you okay?" I asked as I took a
seat next to her.
"Ya, it's just that Nancy keeps yelling at
me, there's just so much drama in my group. I can't take
anymore." She said sobbing.
"It's okay," I said hugging
her, "sometimes, there are going to be people that you won't get
along with, but you should never give up. I know that you want this,
so don't let anyone bring you down. Okay?" She nodded, "Now
come on, we have to go rehearse." She smiled and said "Thanks, my
names Kristin."
"Mines Jade." I said as we walked to our
groups.
Adam's POV:
"Hey guys
you don't mind if I go and talk to her do you?" Jade asked when
she saw Kristin McNamara crying after being yelled at by her so
called 'Team Mate' Nancy Wilson.
'Wow,
I can't believe how nice Jade is to go and talk to her like that!'
I thought in my head.
""Hello earth to Adam," Allison said
waving her hand in from of my face, "it would be great if you
stopped day dreaming about Jade." Allison quickly put her hand over
her mouth. She obviously said something wrong.
Allison's POV:
'Oh
Crap! Did I just say that! That's like the number one thing I
shouldn't have said! What if he knows that Jade like's him now!!'
I
thought as I quickly covered my mouth.
"Huh, what do you mean
day dreaming about Jade? Why would I be doing that?" Adam said
nervously, and Kris slapped his head. I didn't know what to do so I
tried to make them forget.
"I said stop daydreaming about…
Umm… about, GOT IT! I said stop daydreaming about jam, and speaking
of jam, who wants a jam sandwich? Huh, anyone? Well I do," I got up
and tried to walk away, "later!"
"Hold it!" Kris yelled
and I slowly walked back towards them, "Jam? Is that really the
best you can come up with?" he said smiling.
"I'm 16 what
did you expect?!" I yelled thinking maybe that would make them
stop. I looked at Adam who was frozen. He didn't move a muscle! He
was like a colorful statue with its eyes wide open really shocked!
"Allison we know you said Jade! Right Adam." Kris said
crossing his arms, but Adam was still in a state of shock, "Adam,
hello, are you okay buddy?" Kris gave Adam a few nudges and Adam
finally budged. I tried to run, but Kris noticed. "You stay right
there Allison!"
"Fine!" I yelled again.
"Huh, oh ya,
I'm fine, just a little shocked that's all." He slowly turned
and faced me. "How long have you known?!" He demanded.
"Well,
I, well, umm, just guessed…" I lied. I really knew ever since the
first time I saw him look at her.
"Since we have a lot of work
to do, I take that answer, but you better tell me sooner or later,
okay?" Adam said.
"Yes Sir!" I said and ran back to my
seat, but Adam couldn't help but ask me a question.
"So, does
that mean she likes me?" he said smugly and Kris hit his shoulder.
"Ouch!" Adam yelled and then got straight back to work.
Right after that Jade came and sat down next to Adam again. Adam, Kris, and I all felt really awkward, we didn't know what to do, but we all knew that that little conversation should be kept a secret from Jade.
"Hey Jade." Adam said trying to sound
cool. Me and Kris both rolled our eyes and slapped our heads.
"Umm,
hey Adam…" She said sounding confused, and for the rest of the
day we worked on our group performance.
Kris's POV:
'That
was really awkward…' I
thought as we performed the song in front of a mirror.
'I have got to teach Adam how to sound like he isn't
nervous'
"Kris
are you listening?" Jade said as I snapped out of my trance.
"Huh.
Oh sorry. Just thinking, now let's do this!" I said as they all
nodded.
We practiced for 2 more hours and it was about 12:00AM. We decided to do one more run before going to bed. When we finished we all headed to our rooms to finally get some rest before the big day.
"So, about what Alli said, you didn't tell
her anything did you?" Adam asked me a few minutes after closing
the door.
"No. Of course I didn't. I don't break promises
and you should know that by now. Allison must have just figured it
out or…"
"Or what?" Adam asked me.
"Or, maybe Jade
told Allison she likes you, and well, she is 16 and she can't
really keep her mouth shut you know."
"Ya, I guess, but I'm
not sure. She might just think I was crushing on her,"
"Which
you are." I interrupted.
"Uhh, ya, whatever. She might think
I was crushing on her, but Jade might not."
"Well you never
know." I said trying to make him think positive. "She probably
likes you, now come on are we going to talk about this every single
night? Let's get some sleep!" I closed the lights and fell right
asleep, but Adam on the other hand probably took about 1 or 2 hours
to fall asleep.
Adam's POV:
Kris and I woke up the next day at about 8:00 AM like always. We headed straight downstairs and to the room that we would perform our group performance. Jade and Allison were already there and they were going through the song one more time.
"Looks like some guys
overslept this morning." Jade said with a smug look on her face. I
said the same thing to her yesterday when they were late. She and
Allison probably got downstairs earlier than us just to do that. Kris
on the other hand, giggled a little and I gave him a sharp look which
caused him to pretend like he was coughing.
"*cough cough*
Sorry, got a tickle in my throat." He said to make me look away.
"Ya well you better!" I said and then read through the song
one more time.
After about 30 minutes, the groups were asked to line up. We were going to be the 7th group to perform for the judges. During the day, most people made it through. Some of them were really pissed out that they didn't make it, but most were calm, but soon broke down and started to cry. It was finally our groups turn to perform.
We sang the full song
and none of the judges stopped us. Not even Simon! That was good news
so far.
"You are an incredible singer!" Kara said to me as we
stood in a line waiting for our fate.
"You know I actually
quite enjoyed the performance. It was in tune, no one forgot their
lyrics and well it was good." Simon said which got us all happy.
"Okay. For this particular group, were going to ask you all to
stay where you are…" Paula said and Randy finished the sentence
for her, "Because you're all going to Hollywood!" He yelled as
we all hugged each other and the crowd applauded. We made our way to
our seats and the rest of the groups had their chances to perform.
The day went by fast, most groups were good, and surprisingly, Tatiana Dell Torro made it through. The last group was Compromise, which had Kristin McNamara. I noticed Jade giving her a thumbs up before performing. Sadly Simon said that they didn't do very well and only one girl was going to the next round. Thankfully it was Kristin and not Nancy. When everyone finished, we all headed to our rooms and got some sleep. Tomorrow we would have to perform in front of the judges alone. We had all chosen our songs and rehearsed them a lot and then went to bed. Tomorrow would be the last day in Hollywood before the judges pick the top 36.
