((Ight, here goes.)) Midnight. How are they still awake? It's 3 a.m. in Ohio! Anisa thought through her fake grin. She was up have the first Skype-Over with her back home friends. She was absolutely exhausted but they were all still so giddy, wide awake.
"Get out Nebula! let me see that little chubber!" Kayla commanded with a giggle. Anisa sighed, rolling out of her bed and snatching the spotted grey rabbit from her cage. She held the fluffy creature's nose to the camera and sighed. The 4 voices on the other end of the camera cooed and "awwhed" at the tiny animal cradled in Anisa's pallid hand.
"I just wanna snuggle her face!" the freckled ginger, Pamela, squealed.
Anisa set Nebula back into her lap. She could hardly stand the dying conversation. That was until...
"So, Nisa, have you met any boys yet?" Kayla hinted.
"Dude, Hollywood is full of handsome, young actors, innit?" Gretchen asked.
"Oh, it has to be!" Harley butt in.
Anisa shifted on her bed and bit into her lower lip. The girls begged her to tell, they'd seen that look before. She caved in and blurted: "His name is James Diamond. He's in this new boyband called Big Time Rush and he has skin the color of shimmering bronze. His eyes are a balanced olive and chocolate mix and his hair is shaggy, a deep brown that looks as soft and sleek as a puppy's fresh coat. Not to mention, his toned arms and abs. He's as sweet as a honey bee and clever as fox. His jokes make me laugh so hard tears come to my eyes. All I really want in life is for him to burst through my bedroom door, toss me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, and carry me off into the sunset."
Her friends sat in a glorious silence until Pamela let out a dramatic breath.
"What's stopping you?!" Kayla exclaimed.
Anisa arched her brows and rubbed Nebula's ears for comfort. "He doesn't like me like that." She explained to them the pool situation and emailed them the mp3 of her duet, filling them in on the last few weeks. They still didn't understand.
Gretchen finally spoke up before they signed off and went to bed: "Risk it. Ask him. Anisa, you are a beautiful, talented, hilarious, brilliant girl. You've got nothing to lose."
Nothing to lose.

"A whole new world! A new fantastic point of view, a whole new world! A dazzling place I never knew!" Juniper sang loudly from her balcony with her arms stretched out wide.
"What...on earth, do you think you're doing?" Violet asked after coming up behind her sister, she was giving her the "look" with her arms crossed over her chest.
"You know what it's like having a boyfriend Vi?" Juniper turned around and asked her.
"Umm, actually yes, yes I do" Violet told her, nodding in Kendall's direction, he happened to be sitting on the couch in their apartment.
"Ya know, most people who sing off of their balconies are in movies, or at least wait until their alone." He told Juniper, he and Violet had just been sitting there talking before Juniper had dramatically run out of her room belting tunes from "Aladdin"
"She's not most people" Violet told him with a smirk "So you were explaining this to me June?" Her older sister continued, then propped her chin in her hand.
"BOYS! I mean just... BOYS! I mean before I was like 'So what Violet has a boyfriend, I have friends who are boys' and 'Who cares if Anisa likes James, I like a lot of people!" Juniper stopped to take a breath and Kendall's eyes got wide.
"Wait, what did you just say?!" He asked, scrambling up from the couch, but Juniper just kept on going.
"But now I get it! It's like I just learned a new language! I mean, did you know that boys could be attractive? I never even noticed it until now, there are so many cute boys here! Like Kendall, just look at his face!" Juniper said, then ran over to Kendall and squished his face in her hands "JUST LOOK AT IT!"
"Now I see why you guys are freaking out about them all the time! That tingly feeling I always got when I was around Logan, I always just thought it was indigestion, do you know how much peptobismal I could have avoided?! Oh, and Logan... LOGAN! I can't even describe it... I miss him... Can you believe it, I miss a boy! A BOY! WHO IS LOGAN!" She then left Kendall to take hold of her sister's face, she really wanted to get the point across. Then Juniper let out a big squeal and ran out the door to find Logan.
"Wow... she was even more clueless than I thought!" Violet said while dropping onto the couch.
"Did you hear what your little sister just said? Anisa likes James, JAMES LIKES ANISA!" Kendall yelled at her, throwing his arms out in exasperation.
"Well, I guess she still held onto some of her ignorance for letting that slip with you in the room... but you can't..." she didn't have time to finish, Kendall was already running for his apartment. crap... Violet hated running, but she managed to catch before the got the door open, she grabbed his arm and whipped him back.
"But you can't tell James that!" Violet finished.
"Well why not, he needs to know!"
"No, because if it wasn't for my stupid baby sister you wouldn't know anything about that, just let it be, they need to find out for themselves! It's more romantic" Violet told him with a smirk. Kendall frowned at her than sat back on the couch.
"Don't worry, James and Anisa will get it figured out, in the meantime, we could try making cookies again!" She said with and over-enthusiastic grin. ------------------------------------------- Juniper sprinted down the stairs and burst into the lobby, she saw Logan right away and ran to hug him. He turned around just in time for them to lose their balance and fall to the ground. They laughed for what seemed like forever and when they finally caught their breath, Juniper smiled down at Logan.
"Hi" was all she said.
"Hi" he replied with an even bigger smile. They rolled over and Logan helped Juniper up, they walked onto the pool deck, hand in hand, grins on their faces. They didn't even hear Camille when she stomped her foot and huffed "That's what I do!" angrily.

Camille stomped on her wedges into the elevator that Anisa had just entered. Anisa was exhausted and not exactly up for an awkward elevator ride with the over dramatic actress. But she had no choice. She wanted so badly to take a nap.
Both girls unfortunetly lived on high floors, making for an extra long wait. Anisa secretly prayed Camille wouldn't try to talk to her, but it was unlikely.
Highly unlikely.
"Can you believe that Juniper girl?" The actress huffed crossing her harms over her chest.
Anisa looked up from her phone. "Excuse me?"
Camille leaned against the wall and began, "Before she was here, Logan liked me. We hung out all the time, talked, helped one another... He even kissed me once."
Anisa rubbed the tips of her hair with her fingers; uncomfortable. "Maybe he just isn't the one for you?" she squeaked.
Camille pondered this for a minute before stepping out onto her floor. She shook her brunette curls and defied the idea. "He feels too right." She called back before the elevator doors closed.
"Right." Anisa whispered to the metal doors. She added 'Help Camille find a new hot dude' to the schedule on her phone and stepped out of the elevator two floors later.
Entering her appartment, her 'Kitten-A-Day' Calendar caught her eye as she turned to face it. August 14.
That's almost August 15th. She thought to herself. Did anyone know the next day was her birthday? She couldn't help but hope so.
Her old friends would call, her parents would make her breakfast, her brother would pretend to like her, but what about her new friends? What would James do? It hadn't even crossed her mind to plan a party, she used to have the girls back home over and that was that.
She slowly sat down onto her bed and snuggled her fluffy plush sheep. She sent out a text to Juniper and Violet asking if they'd want to spend the night for her birthday that day. It was good enough for her but she couldn't help but wish James knew, too.

"You have a standard to uphold, Juniper." Violet stated. "What are you talking about?" Juniper asked. "You threw me a surprise party, and now we have to throw one for Anisa." Vi smiled. "OHMIGOSH! That's such a good idea! We could have balloons, and clowns, and music, and food, and boys, and splashing, and dancing, and boys, and boys." Juniper rambled. "Hey, I'm a boy. Can I come?" Kendall piped in from his usual spot on the Dixon's couch. "Of course you can!!" Violet said, she continued to Juniper, "We need to get James involved. I'll be right back." She walked out the door and knocked on the next one over. Luckily, James answered. Violet explained that she wanted to throw a surprise party and that she wanted him to be involved. He just held up and hand and said, "I already got it covered. You don't need to so anything." He shut the door, and Violet stood there, stunned. She turned to go back to her apartment. She walked through the door to Juniper's expectant face. She said dismissively, "Never mind." Juniper shrugged, and walked out the door. Probably to find Logan.

((OK, I was going to do a post about that, but now that James has it all covered I want to make sure Grace gets all the right details in there So I'll just do another lovey post with Logan, I like writing those anyway)) Violet was right, if Juniper wasn't with Logan for any period of time the reason she left was always to go find him. It never took long either because he was always doing the same thing. Even the clueless Carlos noticed how much time they spent together now, he even asked if they went to the bathroom together once. It was so odd to for Juniper though, she loved being with Logan and always wished they could be together more, but at the same time she wasn't used to having a boyfriend at all. She surprised herself with how often and how long she could just sit and think about just one thing, one person, she never expected she would be one to lose sleep over a boy. The whole... touching thing, was quite new to her too. Juniper loved to hold Logan's hand and hug him hello and goodbye, but ever since their first kiss she could never bring herself to do anything more, she got so nervous and anxious when she thought he might want to kiss her again. And of course that was today. They were just sitting on a bench in the park, out of the way of other people, reading together. Juniper found that a little odd too, they did this all the time and it was so much fun, but she'd never seen anyone else to anything like it. They didn't sit there and read next to each other, they read the same book out loud to each other. It made it so much more exciting, Logan could explain the words she didn't know, and he would laugh and all the different voices Juniper used, and they would always take turns flipping the pages. Today it was Juniper's turn to pick the book, she had just gotten a new one. It was all action and adventure, no romance, as they often did this alone that was always something she tried to avoid. She had just turned the page when she glanced over at Logan, a smirk began to play on his lips and Juniper knew that he had just read ahead of her, she quickly turned to the book to see what happened. "What?! What is it?!" She asked, trying to not to squeal. Juniper launched her hand at the book but Logan was too fast. "Ah ah ah, you took your eyes off the book... I guess you'll, never know! Oh well!" he told her, closing the book but keeping his finger in between the page they had left off on. "Tell me what happened!" she yelled at him, and he looked around like he hadn't heard her. "PLEASE!" She begged now. Juniper saw that happy glint in his eyes as he began to chuckle. Juniper reached for the book again but he pulled it away. They began playing a game of cat and mouse, Juniper grabbing for the book and Logan pulling it away over and over again. She came close once, so Logan threw his arm up, holding it where Juniper couldn't reach. That was one of the things that Juniper hated that people do to her, but secretly loved it because she loved being so small. She humphed and just trying to get the book, not realizing how she was going about it, she climbed over onto Logan's lap and reached up for it. "Just tell me what happened!" She pleaded again, lowering her arm and looking down at him. She hadn't noticed that he had stopped laughing, she looked closer at him, he was looking at her that way he did whenever he... "SO! DID YOU HEAR THAT JAMES IS THROWING A SURPRISE PARTY FOR ANISA?!" Juniper blurted out, while trying to scramble away from Logan. He was too fast again and grabbed her arm before she could leave. Juniper plopped back down on his lap, unable to do anything else, sighed, and looked down at the ground. "I'll tell you what happened in the book." Logan told her quietly, lifting her chin with his hand. THANK GOODNESS Juniper thought to herself, she was relieved that that had passed. "See the two main characters, the guy and the girl. Well the guy realized that with everything going on, this would be the perfect time, and maybe the only time, that he would be able to tell the girl how he really feels about her. So he took her hand," Logan gently took hold of Juniper's hand "pulled her in close" Logan pulled her closer to him "wrapped his arms around her, and kissed her" Logan put both his arms around her and leaned in... but when he was only inches away from her face she took her opportunity. She ripped the book out of his hands, jumped off the bench, and quickly read the last of the chapter. "THAT'S NOT EVEN WHAT HAPPENED! THEIR HORSE JUST DIED!" Juniper screamed, then threw the book on the ground. She could feel tears welling up in her eyes, she hated doing this to him, and she hated people seeing her cry... she let out a sob before running in the opposite direction. She could hear Logan's feet thundering after her and her name being called but she didn't stop, that is until he caught up to her. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and pulled her back, stopping her dead in her tracks. He turned her to face him and looked into her eyes. "Wait! What's going on?" Logan now pleaded with her. "It's not me, is it?" he squeaked, then swallowed worriedly. "No, no... it's, I don't know, I guess it's... I don't know" She sobbed again and leaned her head on his chest. Logan held her there and let her cry while he gently stroked her hair. "If you can't tell me what's wrong, how am I supposed to fix it? I am a genius you know." Logan asked her. She couldn't see him, but Juniper could hear the hint of a smile in his voice. Juniper took a deep breath, forced her tears back and looked up at him. "I just, HATE doing that to you! I know I'm your girlfriend, and I know you don't mean anything bad by it... but, I don't know if it's because you're two years older than me, or if it's just because I'm not used to being with someone... but you're so wonderful, I just hate myself for doing that to you. But I know you really want to do that." She said, emphisizing the word 'that'. If anyone else had heard their conversation they would have taken it much differently. "What? You mean this?" Logan breathed into her ear, then suddenly reached down to her waist and poked her in the sides. Juniper squealed and jumped out of his arms and began to laugh uncontrollably. Just as soon as it started though, it stopped, Juniper wanted to get this conversation over with, she hated talking about serious things. "I mean, when you...when you try to kiss me and I won't let you, I just don't think I'm ready yet... for that, you know?" Juniper said, not able to look in his eyes, still waiting for his anger. But when she looked up into his face again, he looked relieved. "Well if that's why... I was afraid it was just me! I'll wait for that kiss as long as I have to, it'll be worth it." Logan smiled down at her. "But we've been together for over two weeks! And we've already kissed! How are you not upset right now?" She put her head back on his chest at that, but he made her look up at him so he could meet her eyes. "Do you remember the first time we kissed?!" Logan asked her, she nodded "If it's like that, I could wait years." He ended simply. and she could tell he was telling the absolute truth. Then he leaned down, a smile on his face, and lightly touched his lips to her cheek. Logan put his arm around her shoulder as they began to walk together. "You know, you just made it so much harder on me now" Juniper told him "How so?" Logan asked, looking down at her. "You always say the right thing, Mr. Wonderful" Juniper said before wrapping her arm around his waist and leaning her head on his shoulder. Logan gave her shoulder a little squeeze and kissed the top of her head at that, and they just kept on walking together, smiling. ((I honestly don't know how these keep on turning out so long... I swear I'm not trying at all))

((Juniper is 14? Dang it, Taylor! Now I have to plan my own surprise birthday party! )) Camille sat alone in her apartment; 4J. She was busy rehearsing for an audition: Space Adventurers 2. She was becoming the character of "Coco" when a knock at the door threw her off. She agressivly opened the door and glared at the tall, ditsy boy standing on the other side. His egar grin spread from ear to ear. "What do you want, James?" she said trying her best to keep her voice down. The boy's Barbie doll plastic smile was glued to his face. He was desperate for help but didn't want to show it. "Camille!" He cried gleefully. "How would you like to help me plan a party for a girl?" He leaned forward with a hopeful look in his eyes. She stared blankly back at him. "No." She replied as she began to shut the door. James began to beg and pushed it back open. "PLEASE!" He began, "I'll do anything! Just help me!" "Why do you need help? You're great with girls!" Camille exploded. James got up from his knees and looked her in the eyes. "This girl is different! She... makes me fell different." Camille rolled her eyes. She contemplated for a minute and told him, "Okay, okay I'll help you!" "YES!" James cried, engulfing the skinny girl in his arms. "BUT!" She interrupted. He let go and allowed her to continue. "You have to help me with this script." She lifted her copy off the glass table, forcing it into his hands. "Whatever." he mumbled flipping it open to the page she instructed him to. "Now, you read for Waldo. He's a brave space commander whose fallen in love with Coco, a fellow astronaut who came on this mission to Jupiter in hopes of finding new lifeforms. They're currently trapped in a space cave, running low on oxygen and are fearing for their very lives! Afraid he'll never get the chance again, Waldo must tell Coco he loves her! Alright? Go!" It only took a moment for James to absorb it all and off he went. "It's no use!" Camille huffed, exhausted. "This space boulder wont budge!" James grabbed at her arm and turned her towards him, "Don't say that! If we believe, we can make it!" "How?!" She exclaimed in surprise, throwing a hand over her mouth. "With the power..." He took a dramatic pause and threw his script to the floor. "Of love." He whispered, pulling her to his chest. --- Anisa Hated being alone in her room. She hated being alone to think on her days off because her brain took her all over the place. It could ruin any good mood she was in or create a reason to get her hopes up; only to be let down in the end. To avoid being alone, she'd take walks around the complex and listen into others conversations for pure fun. She'd hear the most amazing things about others and turn a corner into the world's most awkward conversations at times. It was entertaining and gave her something to do. Today, she decided to snoop around floor J. Sometimes she'd overhear Camille rehearse for the moast bizarre roles. It could be entertaining, but often times dangerous. The aspiring actress was outgoing to say the least. The wandering girl's heart sped up when she could hear a familiar voice through the open doorway. She stealthily peeked over the door frame only to see the heartbreaking scene James embracing Camille. She quickly covered her gaping mouth and bit down on her palm to hold back a wince. Anisa pushed her back against the wall beside the door and weakly slid down it until her bottom reached the floor. She couldn't believe what they were saying. "C," James said softy from the apartment, "I.... I love you." "Wow..." Camille breathed. "I just never knew. I-I think I love you, too." Anisa was outside in the hall, her knees pulled tight to her chest as she breathed heavily. Holding back tears. She didn't want to hear anymore, pulling herself up off the warm carpet flooring and down the hall to 3J. She needed to let it out on someone. She stumbled into the Dixon's apartment, leg's weak and mascara on every bit of her face but her eyes. Juniper looked at Logan and Violet at Kendall. "Out!" The girls said in unison, directing the boys to the door. "Call me!" Kendall cried before the door shut on his face. "Sit." Violet said, patting the space on the couch between she and her little sister. Anisa sniffed strongly and fell back onto the couch. She glanced at both of the girls before letting out a long wail. Junpier snuggled her in a hug as she began the emotional trauma she had just suffered through.

((Hey guys. I'm back! I know, it's hard to believe, but Gracey convinced me. In terms of what Lydia has been doing with her life for the past few months, she's been working on her album, and there's been some flirting with Dominic going on. But she's a very busy person, and hasn't had much time to build on their relationship. Instead of chronicling all that, I'll start in the present. P.S. I read everything you guys have written so far, and, Grace, I have to thank you for that "making simplicity beautiful" description you gave of Lydia )) Lydia's drooping face reflected in the soundproof glass of the recording studio. She was slumped over the soundboard, struggling with the tempo of a new track. She had insisted on working alone that day, and was beginning to regret it. But this was the way it had to be if she wanted to produce a sound she was completely satisfied with. A rapping on the door yanked Lydia from her stupor. She forced herself to her feet and opened the door. "Yes?" She did her best not to groan. It was an office assistant, a young blonde in a sharp pantsuit. "You're needed in conference room D. ESX Theatrical Equipment is here to discuss your tour setup." Lydia felt her shoulders sink. She had to think about her tour already? Of course she did. You always have to think ahead in this business. She forced a polite smile. "I'll be there in fifteen minutes." The blonde nodded and made a note on the digital tablet in her hand before turning on her heel and hurrying down the hallway. Lydia slammed the door, not on purpose, and retreated to the coffee maker. She took a few soothing sips, and felt some of the stress fall off her shoulders. Lydia checked her appearance in the studio's mirror. She reminded herself to stand like her chest was being held up by a string, and instantly, her reflection looked cool and confident. She popped a travel lid on the cup of coffee, and made her way to conference room D. ~Three hours later~ "We'll give you a call to schedule the next meeting, Lydia. Sound good?" the prim brunette from ESX proposed. "Great. I promise I'll have a more solid vision of the setup by next time. My mind has been on other things lately," Lydia replied tersely. The meeting hadn't gone that badly. The ESX representative had been open-minded and fair, to a point. There were always expectations to meet. It didn't seem fair to make her think of things like lighting combinations when she still had 4 more tracks slated on her album. "Understandable. Until next time, then, Miss Moore," the representative said with a smile as they shook hands. Lydia returned to the recording studio. All motivation to work had been sucked out of her. She scribbled a note for Mercedes and left it on the soundboard, explaining her early absence. As she repacked her bag with lyric notebooks and staff pads, she noticed a drawing that had been tucked between her pocketbook and a magazine. It was of a beautiful girl with what looked like swan wings flying away from the dark, chaotic ground into the peaceful sky. A message in flowing cursive was written on the back. Don't let yourself be buried. -Dom Lydia felt her throat close up. It was exactly what she needed. Driving home, she felt a lightness in her heart that hadn't been there in a long while.

Juniper gulped down the last of her grape pop and set her cup down, Carlos was challenging her to a burping contest. It had taken at least an hour to convince Anisa to get off their couch and redo her makeup, but Juniper and Violet would not let her miss her own surprise party. After she had told them what she had seen, the two sisters had kept Logan and Kendall occupied with manual labor and took care of all the details themselves.
"HA, I WIN!" Juniper yelled, giving an on-looker a high five. Carlos pouted and tried to come up with some excuse about it being unfair but Juniper wasn't cutting him any slack. Just after Logan sidled up to them with his hands in his pockets, then smiled at his girl and laid a hand on her elbow.
"Ya know, even though that was kind of gross" he began
"Aw come on! That was totally awesome!" Carlos said, raising both his fists in the air.
"It was" Juniper chimed in after him. Logan just rolled his eyes at Carlos and then looked back at her.
"So, even though that was kind of gross... I just can't resist a girl with purple lips, come here Missy" He smiled at her again and leaned in to touch his lips to hers. The kiss was awkward and clumsy, especially since she had moved at just the last second so Logan missed her lips entirely. Juniper really wished he hadn't done it all though, still wasn't quite comfortable with public displays of affection yet. But the gesture itself was adorable and just her style and he used that smirk that just got her every time, so she let it slide this time. Suddenly she pulled away and pointed over to one of the tables.
"Hey, Violet just brought the cake out, come on!" She grabbed Logan's hand and pulled him over to where everyone was beginning to gather around Anisa. She was sitting at the table as Violet set the cake down in front of her.
"Now even though your birthday wasn't as perfect as it should have been" Violet told Anisa, flashing a look at the boys that they didn't quite understand "You still have a wish, and maybe that'll change" She continued, leaning over to light the candles. The two girls smiled at each other as everyone joined in for "Happy Birthday". When it was done, Anisa closed her eyes for a moment and thought to herself...
((I figured that was a good point to stop for you to pick up Grace, she doesn't have to wish for you-know-who but I thought it would be cute if his big romantic gesture came just as she was making a wish, I can change it if you like))

I wish my demo would just fail. So I can just get out of here... She softly blew out the brightly colored candles, leaving every wick but one flameless. "One candle left," Violet announced the obvious. "That means you'll get one boyfriend this year!" She gave Anisa a smirk that the pale girl ignored. "Ah, right." The birthday girl mumbled under her breath. She licked her index and thumb and put out the flame with her fingers. Smoke rose in a cloud over her head, making her feel even more miserable. Anisa had been ignoring James this entire night. She didn't even know he'd put this all together; every time he approached her she'd walk away or pretend she was uninterested in what he had to say. So far, she'd been doing an excellent job at avoiding him, until he had her cornered in the lobby... "Anisa, wait!" James called after her. Anisa stood uncomfortably waiting for the elevator. (The lobby didn't have bathrooms, which was a really stupid idea on the architects part.) Her heart sank down to her feet, weighing her down and making her unable to move. She pursed her ruby red lips tight and did everything in her power to avoid looking into those brilliant olive eyes. "Hey," was all he could say. His hand reached for her elbow, then slowly slid down into her hand. She quickly pulled away, aggravated, and shot him a tiny, careless glance. James let out a heavy breath and crossed his big arms. His eyes dropped to the floor before the boy spoke again. "You're being ridiculous." "I'm being ridiculous?!" Anisa snorted, finally looking at his face. Her voice had risen a lot more than she expected; made her feel like a chihuahua barking up at a doberman. "I saw you with Camille today, James Diamond. I heard what you said to that girl." The lump in Anisa's throat signaled the tears bound to come. James' lips curved into an irritated smile, his slit eyes rolled over at the ceiling. "Really?" he grumbled. "And I hate to sound like a whiny brat, but you really didn't feel anything between us? At all? Seriously, you can try to find one, but most girls wont take the blame when you get in trouble for being naive and sneaking into a public pool in the middle of the night." James could tell the color had vanished from his face at this point. Anisa felt all that too? "And I certainly didn't think every boy would leave a pretty great party to come help a stupid emotional girl with freaking body issues. But, apparently, only the worst of them do." A soggy tear dripped from her eyelashes, pulling her thick eyeliner down her cheek and to the carpeted floors. There was no stopping the water-works now... "I know it isn't a big deal to you, but I pretty much just wasted a few good months of my youth chasing after the type of person I said I'd never pursue." James stood speechless in that hall as she turned to enter the elevator. "Here's hoping Mercedes chooses someone else's album. That way, we can just forget about this." -------- I'm sorry if I'm dozing off, but darling your heart beat is like a lullaby I think our pulses have synchronized; I want to live in those green eyes forever While we're away tonight off in our cold comas, know you're in my sweet dreams May I never wake up from those brilliant fantasies"I hate this song!" Anisa screamed, knocking her speakers to the floor with a startling crash. She squeaked and fell back onto her bed. "I'm such a drama queen." She murmured, using a bony finger to smear mushy make-up from under her eyes. The room was quiet for a moment, the sound of her own breathing began to drive Anisa insane slowly. She gasped when the window clunked; leaned over, pressing her nose to the cool glass to peer down below. A doll-sized James stood at the pool side with a sympathetic gaze, a white sign was in his hands. MEET ME AT THE POOL It read in his usual fat handwriting. Somehow, Anisa knew this encounter would be awkward but she'd have to face him eventually anyhow. Besides, she couldn't be mad at him forever, right? After taking a minute to re-apply make-up and look as little like a crazed psychopath as possible, she reluctantly headed to the lobby. Taking the stairs to prolong time. ~~~ "Anisa!" Junpier exclaimed running to her friend's side. "James and Camille," she blurted, taking Anisa by the hand. She continued as the walked together to the pool. "They were rehearing for an audition. He did that so she would help him... Throw you this party." Anisa's attention was drawn to the far side of the patio, where an entire stage was set up with four microphone stands and a tall wooden stool. Her hand dropped from Juniper's as she slowly walked forward, towards the tall, tan pretty boy standing proudly on the stage beside his four friends. Music played loudly from the speakers as the boy leaned into his microphone to sing. " There were so many things that I never ever got to say... Cause I'm always tongue-tied and the words gettin in the way" Juniper couldn't help but smile when she saw the awestruck girl's mouth slide open slightly. " If you could read my mind, then all your doubts would be left behind" Carlos sang out as James lead Anisa up onto the seat on the stage. " And every little thing would be fallin into place" James continued, cradling her ivory hands in his own. "He's good." Violet laughed resting her elbow on her sister's shoulder. Juniper shook her head with a grin. "Such a dork, though." Her stomach fluttered when Logan sang, and grinned when he pointed to her. He was such a tease. " Keep gettin stuck, stuck. But I'm never givin up, up~" The four harmonized as the music faded. "I-" Anisa studdered. "I'm sorry. That I yelled at you, I mean. I didn't know..." "Don't worry about it." James pulled her up from her chair and into his arms. He slid a hand up into her thick auburn curls. They came together so naturally, and time stopped in their embrace. Anisa stood up on her toes and pressed her sweet glossy lips to his own. She could feel him smile as they kissed and it caused a fuzzy feeling to bubble up in her chest. She locked her arms around his neck and pulled back to look into his eyes. She rubbed her nose against his in a quick Eskimo kiss and licked her lips. "That color looks good on you." She teased poking at the strawberry sparkle gloss she'd mashed on his lips. She felt his throat vibrate when he let out a deep laugh which made her feel even more bubbly. Meanwhile, Logan and Kendall had wandered over to Violet and Juniper to watch the scene from afar. "He's so good at that!" Kendall exclaimed in outrage. Violet giggled, "Don't worry babe. You're better in my opinion." She slipped in her hands between his open plaid flannel and black v-neck tee, looking up into his bright green eyes. "At least someone appreciates me." Kendall replied sarcastically, giving his girlfriend a quick smooch. "Bleh!" Carlos gagged. "Do that at home, love birds!" He stuck his helmet over his head and stormed off to the lobby. "Uuugh." Logan groaned watching his buddy stomp off to the stairs. "What's wrong with Carlos?" Violet asked turning to Logan. He stuck his hands shyly into his pockets and explained, "Well, now we all have girlfriends, but he's still single." "Poor guy..." Juniper sighed. "We can cheer him up with corn dogs and video games tonight!" Kendall suggested with a positive additude. "Yeah," Logan cut in. "But I don't think James will be there." The four of them all looked to James and Anisa, who had both jumped into the pool and were now occupied in an intense splash-fight. "I give them the world's weirdest couple award!" Juniper announced. They all nodded in agreement. ((THAT TOOK ME 3 HOURS BECAUSE I'M EASILY DISTRACTED. Grace, your is still the longest post. You beat me by 900 characters ))
