Julia’s pov>>

“Julia!!! The phone!”>>
That’s my older brother, Trey. And no, he’s not one of those annoying brothers. He used to be. But not anymore. He’s 21 and so now that we are both older, we never fight, we are actually closer then ever and support each other. >>
Oh, you’re probably wondering who I am. My name is Julia Rose. Julia for short. Anyways you probably knew that. But I’m 14 years old. I have long brown hair. With highlights of course. I’m 5’4” and everyone thinks me and my brother look just alike! Sometimes, I’ll be like at the mall and someone walks up to be and they say “aren’t you Trey’s little sister”. Helloooo, I’ve never met you before. I mean, how would they know that! Anyways, my best feature is my eyes. They are naturally blue, but it’s always about what I wear. My clothes always accent my eyes. So they either look, blue or green. People tell me they are really pretty. >>
Anyways, back to the story…>>
“Hello, this is Julia”, I said into the phone. I mean, who would be calling me? >>
“Hi, this is John, the manager”>>
“Oh, Hi! How are you?”>>
“ Great, thanks. I just wanted to call you to tell you I would like to be your manager. You know, for you music.”>>
“Really? Thank you so much! Definitely!! Um, hold on one sec.”>>
PAUSE: ok, just to catch you up. I am a singer and I was just discovered but this agency. So, you would think my parents or a friend would be my manager. Well. They can’t. My parents both work full time and my brother is a firefighter. So I had to find one. I ran into this ‘John’ guy and he told me he is a manager and we did the interview thing blah, blah, blah….so here we are. PLAY!!!>>
“Thank you sooo much!” I couldn’t stop saying it. Hehe.>>
“no problem, I’ll see you tomorrow at the studio around…12? We can grab lunch or something. Is that good for you?”>>
“perfect!!!”>>
“ok. Good. See ya tomorrow.”>>
“Yea. See ya and thanks!”>>
“no prob.”>>
>>
“MOM, DAD, TREY COME HERE!!!!”>>
My family run into the room freaking out!! Ha!>>
“where’s the fire?” trey asked me. Heh. Now that he’s a firefighter he thinks everything has to have something to do with fire.>>
“there isn’t any Trey. Gosh, I just got a call from that manager guy!!! He said he wants to be my manager!!”>>
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”>>
That’s my mom. Hah. She is all about the “living your dream” thing. Now that I have got a manager and all she thinks I’m gonna be famous. Pshhh. Like that will happen.>>
“I know!!” I have to meet him tomorrow at noon at the studio!” anyways, I need to call Brandi and Dana!>>
Dana’s my best friend. We’ve known each other since we were like five. And I met Brandi at a Paramore concert about 2 years ago and found out she lives within 5 blocks of me, how cool!>>
I change into some blue jean shorts and a green cami and I run over to Brandi's house down the road. I walk on in because we are practically like sisters and we live at each others houses. >>
“Hey Brandi! Guess what?”>>
“You met the jonas brothers!!!!!”>>
Yeah, she’s a huge fan!! I love them too but not that much. Anyways, she wants to marry Joe. Hah. If I had to choose it would probably be nick. >>
“uhhh, no. But I got a manager!!!”>>
“ahhh! That’s great!!!!”>>
“yeah, I know!!” His name is John.”>>
“omg, you know that the Jonas brothers’ manager’s name is John. Isn’t that soooo cool. Maybe it’s the same guy!”>>
“Brandi, please, be realistic. That guy is too busy to have any more clients. Anyways, John is a common name.”>>
“yeah, but you never know.”>>
Next day at noon>>
> >
> >
I was waiting in one of those little conference rooms for John. Ugh, I hate those rooms. They make me feel like I’m a lawyer or something and that’s just not my type of thing. >>
“Hey, Julia! Sorry I’m late.”>>
“oh, that’s fine. Don’t worry about it.”>>
“k, here’s the thing. You want to start recording right?”>>
“Yeah, as soon as possible.”>>
“well, we have a problem. You see, my other clients are a huge band that are going on tour next week. They’ll be gone for about 5 months and I have to go with them. You need me around to do all this recording and stuff so I had an idea. Since, you’re going to need to get used to touring because your music is wonderful!—“>>
“Thanks!”>>
“yea, well I think you should go on tour with us so you can get the hang of things. Is that ok?”>>
“uh, I guess so”>>
The truth was, it wasn’t. I didn’t want to waste my time on tour with another band. I wanted to start my career. Start recording and all. But hey, who was I to argue.>>
“great! Well you will stay on the bus with the band. And bring your music, maybe you can get a couple songs on stage. Who knows! Anyways, the bus will pick you up next week at 4 in the morning. On Saturday. Will you be ready?”>>
“Yeah, definitely.”>>
“Great well I need to get going. Cant wait to see you again next week! Remember, five months!”>>
“ok, bye!”>>
Ugh, this was a huge bummer!!! O well, I’ll live. O maybe I can get Brandi to come with me. Wait, she has to come if I perform a little. She’s my lead guitarist. >>
So I called John and cleared that with him! He said she could come and that both of us would be on the bus with the band. Dang, he said they have three buses for them. Who needs three buses? Gosh.>>
I went home and called Brandi and Dana to tell them to come over. I sat all my family and friends down to tell them the news. My mom wanted to know everything right away.>>
“Honey, what did he say?” >>
“Well,….”>>
I told them all about how he needed to go on tour and how I was going with him. My family was cool with it and sooo happy! But the girls looked sad.>>
“You mean, your leaving for five months? How can we live without you for five months?!”>>
“well here’s the thing….he said I might perform a little! But don’t your hopes up. It’s a maybe thing. But I kind of need my lead guitar—“>>
I was cut off by Brandi's slamming into me with a massive hug!!! She knew the rest of the sentence! Haha. She was sooo happy! Dana on the other hand almost cried, she knew she couldn't come. "Dana please don't cry," I begged "We'll text you every day, and John said he could most likely hook you up with tickets for a few concerts. Every time we're near town we will stop by. I promise!"
"Alright I guess, but it's still not fair."

Next week on Saturday, 3:55 in the morning>>
> >
My family said goodbye last night. They didn’t want to get up this early in the morning. Pshh, they are sooo selfish. >>
“So, who is this band that we are touring with?” >>
Brandi was still half asleep. We didn’t get much sleep the night before because we were sooo excited to meet the band!!>>
“I don’t know, we’ll find out in a minute won’t we?”>>
Right on schedule, the bus—or should I say buses—pulled up next to my house. Brandi and I walk outside with our five suitcases—each. Hey, we are going to be gone for five months. Anyways we are standing there when the door opens and three sleepy boys walk out.>>
“wow, how much stuff do girls need?”>>
That for your information was a boy named joe.>>
So what do you think? do you like it? please comments! praise or critizism,both ore welcome!! Thanks
Julia Rose
