Chapter 7

June strolled through the lobby. The boys were all riled up about something earlier, but she hadn't heard what is was about, she was already late for class. Now she was back and the boys were at the studio.

June was going to walk to her normal table, where she went to everyday after class to work on homework, but there was a girl there. She had dirty-blondish hair that was up in a ponytail. June walked over to the table.

"Um hello." June said to the girl. She looked up. June had to admit, this girl was pretty cute.

"Hi!" The girl said cheerfully.

"Are you new here? Because everyone knows that this is my table." June said, but not in a rude way. The girl gasped.

"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry. I'll leave." She started to get up, but June grabbed her arm.

"No, don't worry about it. This table is big enough. I'm June Cooper. You are?" June stuck her hand out. The new girl smiled and shook her hand.

"Jo Taylor. Nice to meet you. You're defiantly nicer than the Jennifers and not as crazy as Camille." Jo said. June laughed.

"Thanks! The Jennifers are stuck up, so try to avoid them. As for Camille, she seems crazy at first, but she's pretty cool. And my best friend. So what are you here for?" June asked. Jo lifted up a script.

"Acting. What about you?" Jo asked. June sat down and started to get her biology book out.

"I'm going to college. I live here with my sister so she's not alone. Have you heard of Justine Cooper?"

"Oh my gosh, that's your sister? That must be awesome." Jo said in awe. June shrugged.

"It's cool. She's really down to earth, L.A. never changed her. I'll introduce you some time." June said nonchalantly as she took out a highlighter and some paper for notes.

"Really? Thanks. So what's up with those 4 guys? All attractive. Kind of crazy. They all have been flirting with me." Jo asked. June felt a tinge of jealousy, though she had no reason to. It wasn't about Logan, or Carlos, or Kendall. It was James. She said they all flirted with her. Including James. They may not be together, but last week he was trying to get her back and he tried to kiss her. No. June told herself. They aren't dating and she is over him. Sure she hugged him and really enjoyed it, more than she would like to admit, but he was over and done with. All the past.

June realized she hadn't given Jo a response. "Oh, those are the Big Time Rush boys. They're from Minnesota. Super down to earth and really nice. They'll do something crazy to get you." Jo nodded.

"I don't really want to be in a relationship right now. I just got here and I want to focus on my acting." Jo said. June nodded understandingly, even though she had never been in that situation.

"Well you can either tell them that, I could tell them, or pretend you have a boyfriend." June said. Jo thought about it for a second.

"I'll go with the boyfriend thing." Jo said. June nodded.

"Okay, but when you do want to go out with them, you have Carlos, James, Logan, and Kendall. I'm not telling you who to pick or anything, but Camille and Logan like each other, but won't admit it, so not him. James is an ass, so don't pick him, I learned my lesson there. So that leaves Carlos and Kendall, and, as much as I love Carlos, Kendall is better 'boyfriend' material." June said. Jo studied her.

"What happened with James?" She asked curiously. June picked at her piece of paper.

"Uh, we dated for 2 ½ years and broke up when he cheated on me for like 5 months." June said, looking down. Mine as well just tell her what happened. Jo would probably get more details as their friendship progressed, but that was enough for now.

"Oh I'm so sorry June!" Jo said and took June's hand. June looked up and gave her a slight smile.

"Hey, it's all the past. That happened two years ago in Minnesota. This is a big world, that was a small town. I'll find the right guy someday." June said. Jo smiled.

"That's a great way to look at it. I really like you June. You're so positive!" Jo said happily. "I'm glad we met."

"Me too. Call me anytime that you need someone to talk to, or you have boy troubles. I'm a songwriter and I need inspiration." June said. She handed her phone to Jo to put her number in. Jo did so and handed her phone to June. They handed their phones back and June got a text.

"I'd love to keep talking to you, but Gustavo needs help with the boys. I help Gustavo with the boys and with my sister. I'll talk to you later." June said. The girls said goodbye and June headed into the lobby and out to her car.

June walked into the studio. She saw the four boys in the recording booth. Gustavo at the sound mixer, Kelly behind him. And finally Freight Train in the back.

"Sup Freight Train." She said and fist pounded him.

"Hey Gustavo." June said. Gustavo turned.

"Hi June. These boys are driving me crazy. James keeps sneezing and all the other guys are arguing." She looked at the boys who were all yelling and using hand motions, but Gustavo had muted them. June walked up and turned the mics on.

"She will be mine!" Was shouted over and over along with other phrases to that effect. June leaned over and turned on the mic.

"Hey guys. Talking about Jo?" All the guys went silent and snapped there heads toward June.

"That's the new girls name?" Logan asked. June nodded.

"How do you know?" Kendall asked. June shrugged.

"She was at my table after school so I introduced myself. We talked about some stuff and exchanged numbers. She seems pretty cool." June said. All the guys eyed her suspiciously.

"What stuff did you talk about?" James asked. June waved her hand dismissively.

"Oh you know, about the 4 kinda attractive, crazy guys who have been flirting with her." June said. All the guys went wide eyed.

"You think were attractive?" James asked smugly. June smiled sweetly.

"Don't get excited. Her words, not mine." Like you would care how attractive I think you are June added silently.

"What did you say about us?" Carlos asked. All the guys raised their eyebrows at June.

"Ah, it's not important. She just needed advice." June said. All the boys gasped.

"It is important! Tell us!" Logan said. June rolled her eyes.

"You will all find out soon enough." June said. James sneezed.

"Gustavo, why did you need me here?" June turned her attention to him.

"Well. I needed you to help me to mix the harmonies, but James here can't stop sneezing. Kelly take him to a doctor. Freight Train, take the dogs and June back." Gustavo ordered. James left with Kelly and June went in to the recording booth.

"So what is your new song about?" June said.

"It's called 'Any Kind Of Guy,' about how we would be any kind of guy a girl wanted." Kendall said, like he was annoyed that he was still here and wanted to be back at the Palmwoods, getting to know Jo.

"I would love that if a guy sang that to me." June sighed dreamily, looking up in thought. All the guys exchanged glances.

"She will be mine!" They all said and started fighting again. June came out of her little dream. She turned to Freight Train.

"I'll take the boys back. Come get us when you need us." June said. Freight Train nodded thankfully.

"Come on boys, you need a way back, and that's me." June said. All the boys nodded, excited to get back to the Palmwoods. Logan, Carlos, and Kendall followed her out to the car. Their mouths dropped when they saw it.

"You have a Mustang?" Carlos asked incredulously. June nodded.

"Yeah, the perks of having a rich and famous sister. I wasn't going to go convertible, but this is L.A." June said. All the boys just stared at her. June walked over and got in and put the top down. All the guys just stood there.

"Are you coming?" June asked. They all came out of their trance and battled each other for the front seat. Finally, Kendall sat down and put on his seat belt. Logan and Carlos grumbled and hopped into the back. June rolled her eyes at their childish behavior. She turned on the radio and, to no surprise, it was one of Justine's songs. A recent single called "Mean" and yes, June had written it. June turned it up and sang along.

"Someday, I'll be living in a big ol' city, and all your ever gonna be is mean. Someday, I'll be, big enough so you can't hurt me, and all your ever gonna be is mean. Why you gotta be so mean?" June sang along loudly. The guys were staring at her.

"What?" She asked.

"We didn't know you could sing. Why don't you record your own songs?" Kendall asked.

"Because I don't sing." June said obviously. They guys started at her in shock.

"Yes you can. You just sang. Really good." Logan said. June waved her hand.

"Well yes I can sing, but so can everyone else. Sure I can sing pretty good, but I'm not a singer. I'm a songwriter/forensic scientist." June said. The boys shook their heads, but let it go.

"Wait you said you write Justine's songs, did you write that one?" Carlos asked. June nodded.

"Yes I did. Pretty proud of it." June said with a smile.

"So were you bullied a lot then?" Carlos asked, despite Kendall and Logan's desperate attempts to get him to stop, thinking this may be a sore subject for June.

"No, not really, I was bullied a little, but it wasn't nearly as bad as some people have it. It was nothing I couldn't handle. The song was mostly inspired from other people's experiences." June explained. The boys nodded. June pulled into the parking lot. The boys jumped out quickly and ran into the building before June could even turn the car off. She sighed and got out.

She walked into the lobby and walked out to the pool to finish her homework and maybe talk to Jo or Camille. June walked out and she heard music. She turned and saw Logan singing and guitar dude playing next to him. June looked at him confused. Then Carlos came by and knocked him out of the way, and started singing. June looked around and finally found it. Jo. Standing on her balcony, listening to the music and seemingly enjoying it, but then cringing when someone was knocked away. June sighed and shook her head. Jo was seriously lucky. Even if June didn't want to date any of them, it still would have been cool.

Soon enough the boys had to leave, this time, June didn't come. June was sitting at her table, the math equations being to confusing for her. June sighed. A smoothie would help, right? June got up and walked into the lobby to the smoothie stand. She noticed everyone looking at someone. June took a quick glance, rolled her eyes, new kid wearing a ridiculous outfit.

Then June stopped. Wait. She only knew one person who had hair that perfect. June looked back. No way. Why was James dressed like that? He looked like… well June couldn't think of anything. He was wearing skinny jeans that were like paint splattered. James started to head to the pool when June realized where he was going. Jo. June ran out and stopped him.

"Hey James." June said. James stopped and looked at her confused.

"Uh hi. What do you want? I need to go flirt with the new girl." James said. June looked down. She guessed he was really over her. Well good. That's what June wanted. She looked back up with a smile.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." June said. James eyed her suspiciously.

"And why not?" He asked.

"Well I was talking to Jo, and she already told me she's not going to go out with you." June said. James laughed.

"If your jealous, you can just tell me." James said in a baby voice. June rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

"In your dreams. I was just going to save you the embarrassment, but go ahead, let her tell you that she has a boyfriend and isn't interested in any of you." June said and added a sugar sweet smile on the end. James looked at her, than out at Jo, who was going over her lines, and back at June. He sighed.

"Fine. Do you want to go out with me? Give me another chance." James said. June looked at him incredulously. He really was just talking to her about flirting with Jo and now he wants to date June? And she thought he was getting better. June scoffed.

"Nice try." She flipped her long hair over her shoulder and headed out of the building.
