Okay guys, so I stayed up late and asked my dad for starbucks so I could write you this chapter! I'm going to be out of town starting tomorrow for the entire weekend. So I won't be able to post.. :(
I super sorry for how long this took. Chapter 12...is kinda transitionish...I wanted to get more in there, but it was getting a bit too late and I probably should go to bed...I have a study hall tomorrow at school right before I leave and I think I am going to try to speedy type chapter 13 and maybe 14, depending on how fast I am. Since I know what is going to happen in the next chapters, they should be like cake to write. Thanks so much for sticking with me. If I do get chapter 13 and 14 or one of them up then I am going to PM them to Faye and she will post the next chapters over the weekend. Chapter 12 kinda ends cliffhangerish so you will probably kill me when I get back, I know I would, but I really will speedy type for you in my study hall!!! Thanks soooo much guys! I'll probably be dying of JBF withdraw by the end of this weekend! :o ;)
U ROCK MY SOCKS GUYYYZZZZ!!!

Da...da...da.daaaaaaaa Chapter 12 - hope you like it....its kinda shortish
Chapter 12
“Okay, so we’re going to start exercising with a bit of improvisation today as well as continuing with our characterization techniques, so everyone please get with a partner and warm up by cold reading a script, and I’ll be right back. I have to check with the office about an incoming student that wants to organize an audition.” Ms. Catherine’s blonde curls bounced as she glided out of the doorway of the small, drama room. My gazed was fixed upon the red wall in the front of the room. For the 10 minutes I had been in the drama room, I heard nothing that Ms. Catherine, our drama instructor, was saying. Well, I did…but it came out more like:
“Nick Jonas loves me. Nick Jonas does not. Nick Jonas loves me. Nick Jonas does not, Nick Jonas loves me. Nick Jonas does not.”
I let out a sharp sigh releasing everything that was crammed into my brain. Biting my lip, I nervously flicked my finger up against the bottom of the red plastic chair I was sitting on as my stomach churned continuously. I blamed the feeling in my stomach on Nick’s smile, and his curls, and his beautiful brown eyes….and about every other thing about him. It was either Nick or the fact that I had skipped my daily morning pop-tart to keep Gabby distracted so I could convince myself I needed more time to think of what I was going to say before I texted Nick. Ever since noon, I barely paid attention to anything at all, which was unusual for me. The only thing my brain could manage to do was play everything that happened yesterday over and over again. Each facial expression, ah-dorable ruffle of his curls, and every word and syllable that came out of Nick’s mouth, ran through my head making me nervously tremble. Tapping, drumming, and rapidly biting my lip were all actions I exhibited to release my nervousness for the text message I had yet to send, for the concert and dinner with the brothers tomorrow, and to even look at Nick’s face again.
“Kati…?” Devon, my partner for the day snapped her thin, tan fingers in front of my face. Devon had always been one of my close friends since I entered the class alone because Gabby didn’t audition until later in the year that I was enrolled in the class. Her soft, dark, brunette curls hung over her face as she grabbed my shoulders and shook me.
“What? Huh? What happened?” I jumped in my seat as my stomach flipped to churn in the opposite direction.
“Kati, are you okay? You seem kind of jumpy and very interested in the wall,” Devon giggled as she pushed her soft curls behind her ears and grabbed the scripts that were by our chairs. I took a deep breath trying to focus on what Devon was saying. This was something that any normal person would have no problem with, but just in case you forgot…I’m not normal.
Okay, what did she just say….I heard jumpy and wall…then she said something about muffins…wait…no….uh, I shouldn’t have skipped breakfast, I should have just texted something stupid to Nick so he would think I was a creep, satisfy Gabby, and eaten my cherry pop-tart. If I had done that and been smart, I would have my best friend off my back, this stupid churning in my stomach would stop, I could erase the never ending tape of Nick that someone jammed into my mind, and I would be full of itsy bitsy pieces of cherry flavored pop-tart. I could have been a normal person and just given up Nick and I could find out what Devon is saying AND I would have a stomach full of POP-TARTS! Gosh, I’m so stupid, why do you have to be so stupid Kati, why do y…
“KATI! Don’t make me get Gabby over here,” Devon yelled grabbing my earlobe and jerking it downward.
“Ah! Okay, Okay, I’m here, I’m ready…” I said still staring at the red paint on the rough wall in front of my. My stomach flipped and switched directions.
Stupid stomach
“No, you’re not, GABBY!” Devon yelled cupping her thin hands over her mouth. My head whipped around to stare at Gabby whose eyebrows were raised as she held a script in hand. Gabby quickly stomped over to where Devon and I sat.
“What did she do?” Gabby asked noticing that Devon was still yanking my earlobe.
“Ow…” I said jerking my eyes toward Devon’s smirk that sat on her face.
“This girl right here has something on her mind and won’t pay attention and you need to get her t…” I cut Devon off quickly.
“I’m fine, can we please warm up now?”
“Nope, not till I find out what is going on in the brain of yours” Devon laughed tightening her grip on my earlobe
“Ow…” I said again glaring at Devon’s aqua eyes, “Why do we need Gabby over here. Can’t you just ask me what is wrong?”
“Puh-lese and you expect me to believe you are going to tell the truth, I don’t think so,” Devon said pulling on my earlobe even more, “Now Gabby, you know our friend Kati here, what happened last night that I don’t know about. Its only been about 12 hours since I’ve seen her and she’s completely changed her focus level and attitude, can you explain this to me?” Devon held her free hand up to Gabby’s thin lips like she was holding a microphone.
“Well, last night I slept over at Kati’s house and we had some very unexpected guests, Devon, would you like me to elaborate?” Gabby replied sweetly as she smiled at me.
Oh, no, Gabby…you wouldn’t
“Yes, please,” Devon replied in smiles. I jerked at my captured ear only to find Devon holding my ear tighter. I knew as well as anyone that the Jonas Brothers was the biggest boy band on the planet, and mentioning them in a room of teenage girls would set off a screaming fest of “OMG”s and “I love them!”s. Not that I was against any of this, I would do the exact same thing if I hadn’t met them last night, but if your mind was stuck on the image of Nick Jonas’s gorgeous smile and the sound of his soft, comforting voice causing your stomach to twist in knots, adding an additional headache caused by screaming girls wasn’t exactly your top priority
“Well, last night, I stayed over at Kiwi’s house, and there was just a simple *Knock* *Knock* on the door and BAM! Standing right there w…” I sprang up tearing my ear from Devon’s grasp clasping my hands over Gabby’s mouth and squeezing it tightly against her face. I suddenly felt a wet streak on my hand. Pulling my hand from Gabby’s mouth I rapidly wiped her spit onto my jeans.
“Sick,” I gagged.
“You asked for it…now, before I was rudely interrupted, Devon, there at the doorstep was the Jonas Brothers,”
Here comes the headache
Screams filled the room as I covered my ears and collapsed on a chair nearby ducking from the crowd of girls that now surrounded me.
“Did you get to talk to them?”
“Why were they at your house?”
“I wish I was you, Kati”
“Come on Kati, tell us more.”
I refused. That wasn’t going to happen, the situation was already constantly haunting me, I didn’t need 9 other teenage girls reminding me of it everyday.
“Yup, the Jonas Brothers, and Nick even has a thing for my friend Kati here,” Gabby giggled as I curled up on the red plastic chair.
“Nu-uh!”
“Kati, you need to go out with him!”
“No fair, I wanted Nick!”
This is just peachy! No breakfast, a room of screaming girls, and a boy I can’t get off my mind, this day couldn’t get any wor…
One minute and the earth begins to shake
two minutes and my hearts begins to break
Another minute and she makes me feel brand new
That's just three minutes with you
Four minutes and she's everything I see
Five minutes and she's that were I wanna be
Another 6minutes everything feels so new
That's just six minutes with you
I swiftly grabbed my phone from underneath my chair as the entire room fell silent. Biting my lip, I closed my eyes then peeked slightly at the display screen. Nick’s name flashed vibrantly as squeals filled the crowd around me. I hesitated before answering, but quickly flipped open the phone after several urges by the “audience”.
How did he get my number?
All the blood in the limbs of my body drained at the sound of Nick’s light voice echoing through the phone.
“Hey…Kati?”
“Hey Nick…” a round of hushed squeals embraced the girls standing behind me leaning their ears toward the phone’s speaker to catch every word.
“Girls? What are we doing in here, I said warm up didn’t I?” Ms. Catherine’s voice broke the focused silence as I snapped my phone shut and Gabby and Devon’s eyes shot wide open and stared at me. Everyone rushed quickly back to their places and started to warm up.
Wow…hanging up on Nick Jonas...thats a nice start to my love life
