"They what?" Jo was absolutely furious at the news she'd just heard.
"They made a record deal with Gustavo! Isn't that great?" Kendall scooped her into a big hug and she hugged back lightly. Well this was just fantastic. Now Kellie and her friends would be moving into the Palm Woods. She glared at Kellie over Kendall's shoulder and Kellie stormed off in a huff. Jo smirked a little, loving that she could get under her skin that easily. If that had worked out so well, it would be no time before they were out of the Palm Woods for good.
"Kellie, what's wrong?" Lindsay asked, after her best friend had stormed across the lobby. They were now back in the boy's apartment and in the room they were sharing.
"Jo hates me," she said. "And I can't figure out why."
"How do you know she hates you?" Lindsay asked, sitting next to her on the bed.
"She told me. Yesterday at lunch. Kendall went to the bathroom and she said she couldn't be friends with me because Kendall was my best friend and that we had something going on before he moved out here," she huffed.
"What?" Lindsay asked. "That's insane!"
"I know!" Kellie said. "I haven't done anything to her and she just hates me automatically."
"Who hates you automatically?" asked Geena, coming in and flopping on one of the beds.
"Jo," said Kellie.
"Yeah, well," said Geena. "I've noticed that since we've gotten here she's been a bit of a drama queen."
"No kidding," said Kellie as Geena's phone rang. She squealed.
"It's Josh!" she exclaimed. "I'll be back." She went out to the living room. The girls both rolled their eyes. Sometimes Geena got just the slightest bit overexcited when it came to her boyfriend, the guy she'd been silently crushing on since kindergarten and finally asked her out a year and a half ago.
"Like Geena said, she's just a drama queen," said Lindsay, trying to comfort her friend. "I'm sure she'll get over it. Just don't let her get under your skin. We're here to have fun remember?"
"Right." Kellie smiled a little.
"That's my girl," Lindsay said, giving her a squeeze around her shoulders. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go find Summer. We have a song to write."
Carlos entered the apartment later to find Geena on the phone.
"No, you hang up first…no you…no you!" she squealed and Carlos rolled his eyes. Three guesses who that was. "Okay, I've really got to go. Okay. Love you too. Bye." She hung up the phone, noticing Carlos was in the apartment. "Oh, hey Carlos."
"Hey Geena," he said, trying to keep the bitter taste in his mouth out of his voice. "Who was that?"
"Josh," she said.
"Go figure," Carlos grumbled under his breath.
"Huh?"
"Nothing. You want a sandwich?"
"Sure," Geena said, following him to the kitchen and sitting on a barstool. "I think you and Josh would really get along. He's really sweet and friendly."
"I'm sure he is," said Carlos, knowing very well how 'sweet and friendly' he was. He'd known the guy since the second grade. He was very sweet and friendly. In fact, so sweet and friendly it made Carlos want to puke.
"He said he might come to L.A. sometime this summer to visit me," she said. "Isn't that great?"
"Wonderful," Carlos muttered.
"Is something wrong Carlos?" Geena asked.
"No, not at all," he lied.
"Hey Camille!" Summer said brightly, going over to the girl in the lobby. Camille looked up from her script and smiled.
"Hey Summer!" she replied. "I heard you scored a record deal with Gustavo. Nice."
"Thanks, "said Summer, flopping on the couch. "But James somehow managed to get me and Lindsay to write a song."
"Really?" said Camille raising an eyebrow.
"Yes," said Summer. "He figured that since we write stories, that writing a song won't be that much different."
Camille laughed. "I swear, sometimes that boy has a brain the size of a walnut."
"That's what we all said back in Minnesota," said Summer. Camille thought for a minute, then decided this was the perfect opportunity to bring up her and Logan.
"Speaking of Minnesota," Camille said. "Did you and Logan ever have anything going on before he moved out here?"
"What do you mean?" Summer asked, puzzled.
"Did you like…never mind, it's stupid," Camille said.
"What?" asked Summer.
"Nothing."
"Camille," Summer said. "What?"
"Well, I was wondering if you like…dated or anything?" she asked.
Summer laughed. "No way. I'll admit, I did have a little crush on him, but I'm over it."
"Ok, thanks Summer," Camille said. "I feel a lot better now."
"No problem," Summer smiled back.
"Hello ladies," Logan said, coming into the lobby and planting himself on the couch next to Camille. "What are we talking about here?" The girls exchanged a nervous glance.
"Camille's audition!" Summer said quickly.
"Yeah, that's what we're doing," Camille said, breathing a quiet sigh of relief.
"Oh, that's cool. Need some help?" asked Logan.
"That'd be great," Camille smiled. As the three began to work on the audition, Summer thought about how lucky she was to have them as friends, even if it meant she dealt with heartbreak every day.
A/N: Ohhh Summer still has a little crush on Logan….how will this turn out? Review please!
