SUPERSILLYSTORIES: Thank you for the reviews Amanda! Now I know what you mean when you say they mean so much! It really does.
Ugh. Yesterday, I was actually looking forward to work. Now I don't even wanna go in. But this is my dream, and I am not letting a stupid boy stand in the way of that.
"You guys ready for our first day?" Of course, Sarah was completely excited. She's practically been bouncing around for 2 weeks, since Gustavo Rocque called us to say he was signing our band, Chordstruck. Callie had already been signed by Atlantic Records, so we decided to move out here together.
"Yeah, Sars! How bout you Callie?" I knew Callie would be psyched. She's going to see Ed, after all.
"I can't wait. I mean...ED SHEERAN YO! SHEERIOS FOR THE WIN!" We all chuckled. She is sooo in love. Just wait till she meets him.
Grace came out of our shared room, dressed in jeans and a nice shirt, same style as the rest of us. "I'm all good to go" she told us.
We left the Palmwoods and went our separate ways, wishing Callie good luck after making her promise not to jump Ed if she saw him. Of course, she had to scoff, "If? I HAVE TO MEET HIM!" God, I love that girl.
Sarah, Grace, and I walked into Rocque Records, surprised that we hadn't seen the guys yet. Before the whole "Truth or Dare" incident, I was actually hoping to walk here with them. We met Gustavo who told us that since it was our first day, we would lay down one demo track and then just get to know the studio. We decided to record the song that was most popular back home, "Just Run With It", and then walked around the studio a bit. We were just peeking our heads into the various rooms. We ran into Kelly; god, she is so sweet! I love her already.
And then...there they were. Well them, I didn't mind so much. It was HIM. He gave me a tentative wave through the glass. I half smiled and waved back. Grace gave him a look and pulled me and Sarah away to talk.
"Ok, what is with you?"
"What?" I questioned.
"He kisses his ex-girlfriend in front of you, you're completely pissed, and then you're just back to waving like good old friends?"
"Grace, I can be civil."
"Please" she snorted. "In tenth grade, Claudia called you a bitch because she thought you liked her boyfriend; should I remind you of what went down after that?"
Ok, so in tenth grade this blonde bitch tried to make my life hell for talking to her boyfriend. Just talking. I know, insane, right? Naturally when I caught her telling everyone what a supposed man-stealer I was, I switched out her shampoo with hair dye. So when we showered after gym she got the lovely surprise of looking in the mirror, and her blonde hair was hot pink. But on the bright side, she didn't have to pay for the new style! See? She should be THANKING me.
"No, no Grace, we really don't need to talk about that."
"Exactly," Sarah smirked. "So why are you just letting Kendall slide?"
"Well, I'm still insanely pissed...but we do kinda live in the same place. And he's James' best friend."
The guys had come out of the booth by then. James walked over to give me a hug and whispered, "Doesn't mean he's not an ass. Sonia came over this morning and we talked- well, she talked." I smiled. I knew this side of my sister very well.
I nodded at the girls. They were right. I shouldn't let him off that easy. Thankfully, we managed to get through the day without ever being left alone together. Gotta thank the girls for that later. At 5, we left Rocque Records and returned to the Palmwoods. The three of us walked into 3D and settled down on the couch, waiting for Callie.
She came running in breathless, super excited to tell us about her day.
"Ok, so I saw him, he was recording and ohmygod he has the voice of an angel and then he saw me and smiled and waved- I guess our producer told him I was signed on- so I waved back and ohmygod he's just so..." she slid down the wall, whispering, "Ginger Jesus."
I couldn't help myself. I burst out laughing. "Seriously?" I choked out between giggles. "GINGER JESUS?!" I squealed.
She glared at me. "Yes. Ginger Jesus. His fans gave him the name."
I stared at her. "God, that is too good."
She huffed and went to her and Sarah's room to change. We followed suit and came back to the kitchen in sweats to make dinner. After eating, we shared stories about our first days at work. We filled her in on the Kendall situation, and she agreed with the girls that I shouldn't let my guard down.
We watched a comedy, because we all needed a laugh after that conversation. At around 9, we called it a night. I was walking to my room when I heard a knock at the front door. I thought it might be Sonia, so I told the girls I would get the door. I opened the door to a very apologetic Kendall holding a bouquet of tulips. I mentally slapped myself when I realized I was in sweatpants and a tank.
"H-hey."
"Hi," I muttered back.
"So, I know last night was kind of...awkward, but I wanted to make it up to you by taking you out on a date."
Wow. Kendall Knight with the sparkling emerald eyes just asked ME out.
