haha thanks Lizzie!! Here is the new chapter!! :D
Chapter One
Julia
“Stupid cupid stop pickin on meeeeeee” I finished and curtsied as the parents and kids who were not in the talent show stood and clapped. I skipped off stage and stuck my tongue out at Nick. He’s such a loser.
“You do know I was way better than you right?” Nick said walking up to me as someone else started to sing. Someone less fortunate than me in the vocal area.
“Puh-lease Nick. I so just won this!” I said with my hand on my hip.
“Nuh-uh! I did!” He exclaimed, standing up straighter.
“Nuh-uh!” I yelled, standing up from my seat.
“Uh-Huh!”
“Nuh-uh!”
“Uh-huh!”
“Julia Martin and Nick Jonas!!!!” our names being called snapped us back to the show. We both realized that they had called us on stage.
No way. We both won?!?! Nuh-uh!! I am not sharing my trophy and prize with him!!!!!!!!
“Congratulations kids! It was a tie!!” Our principal said to both of us as we stood beside him on stage. We smiled for the crowd. We both got trophies. He got the teddy bear and I got the cute little flowers. We kept smiling and waving as we walked off. Once we were out of sight we both glared at each other and screamed, “I HATE YOU!!”
I sat up in bed as my alarm blared. I could still hear those three words ringing in my ears. Ugh, first grade talent show. That was a disaster. As was everything else that happened when he was around. Trust me, that wasn’t the last time I told him that I hated him. I really reallyyyyy hated him.
I sighed and crawled out of bed. I jumped in the shower and got ready for my day.
Nick
“You’re my best friend!” She exclaimed, taking my hand. I smiled and replied, “And you are my best friends!”
“We’ll be best friends forever!” She said happily. That’s when Julia kissed me on the cheek.
“Ewww!” I screamed and jumped away from her. “What did you do that for?!” I exclaimed.
“It’s in the script!” She yelled back. The casting directors all stood up and glared at us.
“You didn’t actually have to do it!!” I screamed at her.
“You’re so stupid!! This is an audition!! We do what the script says!” She screamed.
“Be quiet!!” One of the casting directors screamed. We both froze and stared at him in horror. “You two, obviously can’t work together. Neither of you get the parts!” He said. He pointed his finger to the door. We both walked out in shock and fear. Once we had both calmed down and we were out of the building we glared at each other and screamed, “I HATE YOU!!”
I opened my eyes as my alarmed went off. I hit the snooze button and rolled over. “I Hate you!!”
That was when we were six years old and we were auditioning for a TV show that is now a big hit. I’m glad I didn’t get the part though. Working with Julia? Talk about a total nightmare.
The alarm when off again, saying that it had been five minutes. I got up and jumped in the shower, getting ready for my day.
Julia
I rushed into the awaiting car and drove to the studio. Just to fill you in, I am sixteen now. And so is Nick. We both are in the teen celebrity spotlight. When we’re in the spotlight together we’re “Best friends” but other than that, we hate each other. Luckily, we never see each other. Everyone knows about the tension between us. They would all prefer not attending both of our funerals anytime soon, on the same day. So the record companies keep us apart.
I was now on my way to a meeting about my next step actually. My CD is coming out in about a month and I should be going on tour soon. Headlining I believe. And some promotional things.
We pulled up to the studio and I got out of the car. I took my time walking inside since I was so early. I’m always early. When I got to the conference room, I sat down in my usual chair. At the head of the table was my manager. At the other end was another guy that looked very familiar. I just couldn’t place him. He must be a manager also. He’s the manager of whoever I will be touring and promoting with. Maybe I know them, that’s why he’s so familiar.
I looked back to Dan, my manager. He was playing with his hands. That means he’s nervous. The other manager looked just as nervous. “What’s wrong Dan?” I asked, concerned. Was I getting booted? Had my fans lost interest? Was the company dropping me?
“Julia...this is really hard to explain…”He trailed off and he was avoiding my eyes.
“What is it?” I asked. Now I was really scared.
“Hey!” Sarah said as she walked in. Jay was right behind her, “Yo Jules” She said, smiling.
Jay and Sarah are my two best friends. We’ve been tight since first grade. They’ve always been by my side. So they’re always coming to my meetings, shows, CD openings, etc.
“Hey!” I smiled as they sat on either side of me. There were three chairs on the two sides of the table. And one chair at each end of course. I wonder who was coming in to fill the other three seats across from me.
“You were saying?” I looked back at Dan.
“Julia, the teens you are working with...well they will be here any minute. You will see in a minute” He said. I guess he really didn’t want to tell me their names. Could it be that bad? Oh no. Don’t tell me its some little girl band. What’s next? The It Girls? My God this was going to be a disaster!
The door opened and I looked up.
I was wrong. It’s not the “It Girls”. It’s much. Much worse.
“Him?!” I shrieked. I felt the tears rush up. This was going to be a nightmare! A disaster!! Worse than the IT GIRLS!! Why can’t I have it girls?!?!?
Nick
We ran through the studio. We were late. Again. Our manager had told us that we were going on another tour. Headlining of course. We were going to do some promotional things beside the band or singer that was touring with us this time. Our CD, Lines, Vines, and Trying Times, was actually coming out in about a month.
I was excited to meet the new band or singer or whatever. I was hoping they had a girl. I really need a new girlfriend.
We opened the door.
Well part of my wish came true. It was a girl. The last girl I wanted to see actually.
“Him?!” She shrieked. I felt myself pale and felt Joe push me forward. Kevin took the right-hand seat and Joe the left-hand. This left me the middle seat…across from her. Joy. I slid in slowly.
“Boys, meet your new roomie for a while” our manager said, trying to sound enthusiastic.
“Oh God” Kevin whispered.
“They’re going to kill each other” Joe said, shocked.
“This isn’t even the worst part” Julia’s manager whispered.
I felt my breakfast trying to come back up but I pushed it back. I wasn’t going to throw up.
Wait, is Julia crying? Ha! Pathetic.
