MIKAELA's POV

"Hey Camille, what was that about earlier? Do you know something?"

Camille glanced over her shoulder at me, and looked a little confused. "What are you talking about?" Did she already forget? I hope she doesn't think that Kailey has a crush on James, because I can reassure her that she doesn't. Twenty minutes ago she was talking about how obvious it is that Kailey and Carlos like each other.

"You were smiling ear to ear when Kailey was talking about James. Do you know something that I don't?" I asked, crossing my arms over my chest. I glanced towards the main lobby, and saw James walking towards us.

"I still don't know what you're talking about."

I grabbed hold of her right arm. "If you know something, please tell me. Do you think that Kailey has a crush on James, because I can speak on her behalf. She doesn't. I've known her for a long time." I kept my voice low.

Camille made an 'O' with mouth. "No I don't think that. You thought that I figured that Kailey was crushing on James now?"

I nodded. "Well yeah."

"No."

"Hey Mikaela."

I glanced over my shoulder at James and smiled. "Hey yourself." I let go Camille's arm, and crossed my arms over my chest. I didn't have a tight hold on Camille's arm, so she had nothing to worry about.

"So we're wondering if you'd want to come on a camping trip with us?"

I glanced at Camille. "I don't know, I'm not the camping type." I said, running a hand through my long hair.

James looked at Camille. "What do you say Camille?"

"I don't see why not, though the only way I'll go is if Mikaela goes." She said, smiling. I narrowed my eyes slightly, wondering what she has planned. I didn't bother questioning her at the moment since James was standing right in front of me. I just said that I wasn't the camping type, so why bother to make me come along on a camping trip?

"Kaela?"

I glared at James. "I don't like that, and my answer is still no." I walked away.

"Well since Mikaela isn't going, guess I'm not either." Camille said, walking away in the opposite direction.

"Mikaela. Can you please just put aside your hated for nature and come camping." James said, placing a hand on my left shoulder to stop me from walking away some more.

"I don't have a problem with nature." I said, spinning around to face him. I'll admit that I'm a drama queen at times, but most of the time I'm down to earth.

"Then why not go camping?"

I sighed. I really didn't have an answer for that. "Fine I'll go." James hugged me, causing me to tense up. "Uhh...James, your invading my personal space." I'm not a big fan of hugs, I feel that it's invading personal space.

"To bad Mikaela." James said, walking away. I rolled my eyes, and decided to go find my best friend. I decided to check my apartment room first, since she's been hanging out there a lot lately. I was starting to think that she was hiding from someone, but I didn't know who. I walked into my apartment, and found Kailey sitting on the couch.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Kailey jumped a little. "Would you hate me if I went home?"

That caught me by surprise. "You don't like it here?" I asked, sitting down next to my best friend. I didn't want her to leave Palm woods, she belonged here. Well I thought she did anyways.

"I don't know if I belong here.

I pulled my best friend in to a comforting hug. The only time I'll actually hug someone is when I'm comforting them. "It's your decision, but I think you belong here. And you should know by now, I would never hate you. Why do you want to go home?" I asked, pulling away. I'll admit there has been times when I want to go home, but I never do. I come to think of Palm woods as my second home, and would hate to leave. I know Kailey thinks the same, but it's her decision and I wasn't going to force her to stay.

Kailey wiped her eyes. "Mikaela I'm not talented like you are. I love it here, but I haven't had much luck landing a role. I think it's time to go home, I already talked to my parents."

I stood up. "How long have you been deciding this?"

"Just this morning."

I shook my head. "You were happy this morning. So what happen?" I asked.

"My parents. They gave me a time limit, and that's up."

I ran a hand through my hair and put my hands on my hips. "Why didn't you tell me? I could have helped you get something going. All you had to do was ask." I said.

"I'm sorry. I didn't want to bother you." Was all she said. I sighed and then walked out of my apartment. She has already made her decision, and I wasn't sure if I could accept that but it's her decision. If I were in her shoes, I would have done things differently but since this was Kailey, she doesn't like to ask for help.

KENDALL's POV

"Hey Mikaela!" I seen her come out of her apartment, and start walking in the opposite direction. She glanced over her shoulder and stopped walking, I could tell that she was slightly frustrated. "Is everything alright?"

"No. Kailey's leaving palm woods."

I looked at her. "Your kidding, right?"

She shook her head. "I wish I was, but I just got done talking to her. She's made her decision." She said, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Why?"

"Because she hasn't landed a role yet. She's audition for a few but never got any calls back. I wish she would have said something, I could have helped her." Mikaela said. I didn't know what to say. My best friends were in Big time Rush with me, I don't know what I'd do if one of them decided to leave or got kicked out. I'd probably be upset, which is what Mikaela is.

"Maybe you can help her."

She frowned a little. "How?"

I smiled a little. "Help her get a role, and make sure she lands it."

"Like I haven't already thought of that?" Mikaela asked, placing her hands on her hips. I could tell that she was even more frustrated. "Kendall, she doesn't want to be here. She's made her decision, and I don't think we should change that."

I raised my eyebrows. "Are you sure that's what she wants?"

Mikaela narrowed her eyes at me, and then shrugged. "I don't know. I doubt it because she was crying."

I smiled. "Then we'll convince her to stay." Mikaela looked at me for a few seconds and then nodded in agreement. She even managed to smile a little, which was a little progress. I'm sure she'd be miserable if her best friend leaves palm woods.


So I got a couple requests to update the story...So here is the newest chapter of 'That Girl.'
I know the story has been on a long layoff, but I've had a lot going on...and honestly didn't know where to go with this story...I was considering to just delete it, but clearly never did.
I think there might be five chapters left to this story...I might make a sequel but I don't know. The next chapters will be long, hopefully.
