Chapter 6
All the boys stormed angrily into the pool at sat down at a 5 person table by the pool. June looked up from her math homework.
"No, please sit down." She said sarcastically. They all shot her glares. June put her hands up in defense. "Okay sorry. Jeez, what's got your boxers in a twist?"
"Gustavo and Griffin said that we need a bad boy. And they said that was going to me," Kendall started. "Then I said no because I wouldn't turn my back on my friends, so Griffin brought in another bad boy to be part of out band." They all grumbled. June rolled her eyes. She knew she could get this guy off their back. These guys were starting to grow on her. They were nice and nothing like the normal Hollywood guys. June looked around the pool and spotted a total bad boy poser on the other side of the area.
"I'll be right back, I want a smoothie." June said. All the guys just grumbled in response. June picked up her purse and walked over to the stand, right near the "bad boy." She made sure her hair was right and her hips swayed a little more. She tilted her glasses down as she passed the "bad boy" and gave him a little wink.
June got to the stand and ordered her smoothie. She was about to pay when a hand got in front of hers. She followed the arm up to his face. Bad boy.
June smiled and slid her glasses on top of her head.
"Thanks." She said as she flipped her hair to the side.
"Anything for a pretty girl like you." He said back and handed her the smoothie. She smiled.
"I'm June." She stated.
"Wayne-Wayne." He said. Weird name. June smiled.
"What are you here for? Personal trainer? You have the muscles for it." June said as she ran her hand down his arm. He smirked.
"No, actually I'm in a band." He said all 'cool' like. June internally rolled her eyes.
"That's so cool!" June gushed. Wayne-Wayne smirked.
"Let's go out. Tomorrow?" Wayne-Wayne said with confidence. June smiled.
"Sure. Here. Call me with the details." She said. She took a eyeliner from her purse and wrote her number down on his hand. She smiled.
"Will do." He said with a smirk. June flipped her hair and turned to walk back to her stuff.
Yes. They guys were still at the table. And yes. They all looked incredably angry. And yes. James was the angriest.
June went and sat down like nothing happened and sipped on her smoothie. She picked up her pencil and started back on the math. All eyes were on her. Kendall took her pencil and chucked it across the pool.
"Dude that was one of my only pencils." June whined.
"Oh, well maybe you should use eyeliner. It seemed to work when you were writing your number on Wayne-Wayne's arm!" Kendall yelled. June rolled her eyes.
"Why do you care if I date him?" She asked. They all gasped and June tried hard not to crack a smile.
"He is the enemy! He's trying to get Kendall kicked out of the band!" Logan exclaimed.
"So that means I can't date him? I'm not seeing the connection." June said. She grabbed a pen out of her bag and continued. Until James took that out of her hand and threw it across the pool.
"Dude really? I need to do this homework!" June whined again.
"You'll date Wayne-Wayne, a bad boy, which I know for a fact that you don't like, over me?" James asked, shocked. June glared at him.
"I don't care how much I don't like bad boys, I like him more than I like you right now. And he bought me a smoothie. He can't be that bad." June said back. James took the smoothie and threw it in the trash.
"I can't believe you." June said. "We're not even dating!" She almost yelled. June picked up all her books and threw them in her bag.
"Bye." She said bitterly. She walked away. Once she was in the lobby and out of view from the boys, she cracked a smile. This was just too funny. She was only trying to play one guy, but she was playing 5. Too much fun.
The next day, June was getting ready for her date with Wayne-Wayne. He texted her and told her to dress casual, they were going out for dinner. June put on some white shorts and a loose tank top that she tucked in. She threw on some sandals, and did her makeup.
The boys didn't talk to her for the rest of the yesterday, or today. She knew they would either forget about it or she would tell them her plan later.
June got down to the lobby and saw Wayne-Wayne waiting, wearing the same "gangsta" poser clothes. She was shocked when she heard James say that she didn't like bad boys. June didn't think he would remember that. She didn't like the whole bad boy look. It just annoyed her. June put on a smiled and went up to Wayne-Wayne.
"Hey." She said. He looked up and smirked.
"Hey babe, you look hot." She tried her hardest not to roll her eyes. If she had already told him what she needed too, she would have had him unconscious for that. They weren't even going out and he was calling her babe. This was one date.
"Uh thanks." June said. "Ready to go?" She asked. He nodded and they walked out.
They went to a simple restaurant and had dinner. They didn't talk about much, just some small talk. Wayne-Wayne paid the bill and while the waitress was gone, June turned to Wayne-Wayne and her fake smile she had on all night was gone.
"Listen Wayne-Wayne. I know all about you and your whole bad boy in the boy band thing. The Big Time Rush boys, well minus James, are very important to me. So I suggest you back off." June said. Wayne-Wayne studied her.
"And what are you going to do if I don't?" He challenged her.
"Do you know who my sister is?" June asked. He shook his head with a 'who cares' look.
"Justine Cooper. I am her right hand man, or woman. Every producer in this town know us and respects us. You go against Big Time Rush and I will make sure that you never get another decent job in this town." Wayne-Wayne watched her.
"You're bluffing. No way that's true. There's no way she's your sister, you look nothing alike. Polar opposites." He said, leaning back in her chair. June smiled.
"Alright. I guess you'll find out." June said. They finished their date without much else being said.
That night, June called up Mercedes Griffin. They were friends, sure not as close as her and Camille, but they still talked occasionally. They had a lot in common. They were both good at manipulating people and good at having boys like them. They bonded over it. Plus she was good for these situations.
"Hey June!" Mercedes said. June smiled.
"Hey Mer!" June said.
"What's up?" She asked.
"Well do you know who Wayne-Wayne is? Camille said his really name is Wally something?" June asked. Mercedes scoffed.
"Yes. He's a loser. Haven't seen him in years. Why?" she asked. June smiled. This would be easier than she thought.
"Well did you hear that he's working with your dad and the new boy band they have? The guys in the band are fine, without Wayne-Wayne." June said. Mercedes gasped.
"OMG. He would be terrible in a boy band. No. This is not okay. I'm going to tell my dad to get him out." Mercedes said firmly. June smiled. Griffin did anything for Mercedes. They weren't able to spend a lot of time together so he would do whatever to make her happy.
"Alright, well I'll let you do that. Bye Mer!" June said.
"Bye June!" June hung up and hopped on her computer. She looked though the bookmarks and found the tab she was looking for. There was a online database that all the major producers, directors, anyone who had power in Hollywood, checked often for word on who to work with and all that. June signed on and put out a bulletin:
"Attention everyone in the music business. This is June Cooper, and, as you may know, Justine and I like to look out for good talent. Today, I met Wayne-Wayne, a poser you may know whose real name is Wally Dooley. He was rude and mean to everyone. I don't know anyone who would like to work with him. My advice to all of you is to not hire him in a music role. He is pushy and not pleasant to work with."
Pleased with her work, she submitted it. That will teach him to doubt her.
Break
The boys walked into the Palmwoods, confused, but happy. They looked around and they saw June approaching. They all started at her, still angry at her for going after Wayne-Wayne.
"Hey guys." She said. All the boys crossed their arms. She rolled her eyes.
"Kendall, why are you wearing that?" June pointed to Kendall's all black outfit. Carlos responded.
"Oh it was part of our plan to get rid of Wayne-Wayne, Kendall was going to challenge him to a bad-boy off, but when we got there, Wayne-Wayne said he wanted Kendall out and Griffin said that he wanted Wayne-Wayne out. So now we're confused." Carlos said. Kendall hit him on the back of his head.
"We're supposed to be angry at her for liking Wayne-Wayne." Kendall said. June scoffed.
"I do not like that poser. I hate bad boys." June said, like it was obvious. They all looked at her in confusion.
"2 days ago you were flirting with him and yesterday you went on a date with him." Logan said. June waved her hand.
"Yeah not because I liked him. I was helping you guys get rid of him, but I guess you guys had it covered." June said. All the boys were even more confused.
"How is that helping us?" James asked. June sighed.
"Well I went to tell him to back off all of you guys, but he refused. I told him that I was Justine's sister and had a lot of power in this town, which is quite true, and he didn't believe me. So I told Griffin's daughter and she got Griffin to fire Wayne-Wayne." June said nonchalantly with a shrug.
"You're friends with Mercedes?" Kendall asked. June nodded.
"We have a lot in common. We both like manipulating people, and have guys on us kinda often, so we help each other out." June said with a smile. James looked at her angrily, well jealously. He hated the fact that she was even more beautiful than before, so now all these guys were all over her with just a flip of her hair and a smile, including him.
"Why would you help us like that?" Carlos asked. June smiled.
"Because you all are growing on me. I like you guys." She gave Carlos a hug, which he gladly returned. She moved on to Kendall, and then Logan. She turned to James who had his arms open. She glanced at him. He did remember about her not liking bad boys. And he was cute when he was jealous. She sighed and walked over to him and hugged him. Her head his about his shoulder. She wrapped her arms around his waist and he held her tight. It would be a lie if June said that she didn't miss this feeling. James never wanted to let her go.
June pulled away before it seemed to long. She gave a little wave and turned around and walked to the elevator. James' eyes followed her until the doors shut. He then turned back to the guys, who were staring in shock.
"One step closer." He said, mostly to himself.
