[Author's note: I know some of you are probably like "What's up with these names?" but I needed names that sounded different from the rest, and also names that would just make you think "wow, she must be a dancer."]
Chapter 1-Aura Esteban
"Hurry up ya damn plane," I cursed to myself.
"I guess somebody's feeling impatient today," my friend Jana Sorriano
said to me.
"I'm sorry, I just really don't like planes-freaks me out," I
explained. "Besides, I wanna get to Paris for our two manth winter
vacation.",br>
"I know what you mean," Jana agreed. I could tell by her voice that
she too was restless and needed to get to a studio and dance, just like
I did. I, by the way, am Aura Esteban, and me, Jana, our three best
friends: Haileeh Yolton, Essence DeVarsa and River Agartua, and the rest
of our school's dance squad, were ready to get to Paris, where we would
spend half of our vacation working on our dance routine and competing,
and the other half relaxing and enjoying the sites in Paris.
"Passengers, please return your seats to the upright position at this
time and prepare for landing," a voice on the intercom said.
"Finally!" I thought to myself.
"Hey you guys," Haileeh said over the top of Jana's seat.
"What is it Haileeh?" Jana said, looking up at her very best friend.
"Essence told me to tell you guys to remember to meet at the luggage
carousel with the rest of the dance squad."
"Alright," Jana said. I smiled. That was just like Essence- always
taking care of the five of us.
Of course, it wasn't only the five of us on the dance squad. No way,
there were 25 girls in all, all of us lived in the same boarding house
at the same performing arts boarding school, all of us excited about the
World Dance Finals Competition. Essence was the manager and
choreographer, so she also had to keep control of the rehearsals and
things. There were maybe three chaperones, one of them the dance squads
advisor (she's more like a supervisor), so they would also help out at
the rehearsals, but it was mostly Essence who handled everything. Jana,
being the captain, helps out at rehearsals too, and she also does a lot,
but I have to admit, essense does help out the most.
Well, anyway, more about our little two month vacation... the
competition consists of 25 of the world's best dance troupes. We would
get there two weeks before the competition, then after the competition
the whole team would stay in Paris an additional two weeks. After those
two weeks, the team would leave, except for the officers, a.k.a. me,
Jana, Haileeh, Essence, and River. THe five of us decided to stay in
Paris an additional month since it was senior year, and besides, if we
had gone back, then we would have to stay at the boarding house (we
can't go hame to our famileis... long story) so we figured that we might
as well combine the money we have and stay in Paris together for
Christmas.
"Thank you for flying Delta. Enjoy your stay in France!" a voice
spoke on the intercom, interrupting my thoughts.
Jana was already up, grabbing her carry on from the overhead
compartment. I watched, amazed at how she could have so much energy
after this really long flight. But then again, we're talking about
someone who once stayed up 48 hours straight, and she didn't even drink
any coffee.
"Get your carry on Aura, so we can get off the plane faster," Jana told
me.
"Ugh," I responded. My energy was completely drained from my body.
"Can you get it for me?" I asked, smiling as sweetly as I could.
"Huh, you're such a lazy ass, Aura," Jana joked, smiling.
"Well, excuse me for not injecting caffeine into my blood stream every
morning," I said as I stood up.
River popped out from behind a sear and joined Jana and I in the line
to get off the plane.
"Play nice children,"River said as Jana janded me my carry-on.
"Yes mommy," I responded, giggling a bit.
Jana giggled too, and looked towards the back of the plane, just to
observe things, I guess. For some wierd ass reason, Jana has this thing
where she just kinda looks around the roomor wherever we are and just
sorta looks at people. She doesn't stare at them, she just gives them a
once over and she'll remember them. Jana has a phorographic memory, so
does Essence.
"Hey," I heard her say,"isn't that-"
"Com'n Jana,we're getting off the plane," River interrupted her.
Jana snapped her attention backto the front of the plane, and began to
walk forward off the plane...
"Quiet you guys! You guys? Hey you guy, be quiet!" We were by the
luggage carousel. Exxence was frantically trying to get us to quiet
down so that she and Jana could check if everyone was here, but so far,
she wasn't having any luck.
"Yo, you guys, shut up!" Jana yelled (loud enough for everyone within a
5 mile radius to hear). Everyone looked up at her.
"Thank you!" she continued. "Listen, I don't want to yell, but I
really need y'all to be quiet, cuz essence has some important
announcements to make, ah right? First, let's do roll call numbers.
1!"
"2!" I yelled
"3!" that was river
"4!" that was Haileeh, and it continued on, till number 25, which was
Essence.
"All right, all right!" Essence took over. "We got it arranged for
all the luggage to be picked up, so it should be at the hotel right
now. So let's just get on the bus, move it to the hote., and just chill
for the rest of the day. You don't have to stay in the horel, y'all can
just go wherever when you have chill time, as long as everyone sticks to
the schedule, and you're on time, ah right? So let's get to the bus."
Everyone filed toward the door.Once outside, Jana noticed someone
again.
"Hey, there he is again," she said.
"There who is?" Haileeh asked her.
"Hmm?" Jana responded. "Oh, that guy over there with the hat and the
shades... see?" she said pointing towards him. "He's standing next to
the guy with the beanie."
"I see him," I said.
"What about him Jana?" Haileeh asked.
"Well, I saw him on the plane, and I think I saw him on the cover of
one of those Teeny-bopper magazines Khyra always buys," Jana explained.
Khyra is Jana's little sister.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
Haileeh looked at me. "Aura, Jana has a photographic memory."
"yeah, i know, but..."
"I get what ya mean Aura," Jana told me. "But I really think I've seen
him-"
"Girls are you getting on the bus?" one of the chaperones yelled at us.
"Yeah, sorry," I said and the three of us climbed into the bus.
"Watch out Paris," I thought, "here we come."
So what do you think? I'm almost done with chapter 2, I'll send it to
you as soon as I'm done.
Chapter 2:A.J. McLean
"Thank God, there's no crowd," Brian said relieved.
"That's cuz the flight was booked last minute," I told him.
"We'd better hurry though, cuz soon their will be a crowd," said Jake,
one of our security guards.
"Jake, don't worry about it," Nick said, giving him a slap on the
back. "We're in disguises," he finished, shoving on a pair of Ray-bans
and did his little "Secret Agent" thing, which set all of us laughing.
"Hey," Kevin said as we neared the luggage carousel,"what's the deal
with them?" He said making a head gesture towards a group of girls
standing not too far away from us.
"I don't know," I said, looking over at them. All of a sudden the
finest girl I had ever seen in my whole life stepped up on something
(I'm assuming a suitcase or box). This girl had black layered hair and
I noticed it was streaked. Her eyes looked really cool, but I couldn't
really tell what color they were from where I was standing. She was
wearing a black snowboarding jacker and dark blue super bellbottoms.
She was hella fine.
"So, who's got your attention NOW, Romeo?" Howie said, standing next to
me.
"That girl over there in front of that one group of girls," I said,
"she's fine!!!"
"Yeah, she is kinda cute," he said as the girls started walking out the
door, "but I prefer her friend better."
He was referring to the girl that she was talking with. She had
shoulder length black hair with a lot of highlights, and her hair looked
kinda puffy, and some wierd-ass hazel eyes, they were, like, really
really really light brown, kinda like beige or something, but they
looked cool.
"Yo A.J.!" Brian yelled to me. "Get your butt over here and get your
suicases."
"Ah right, sorry Bri," I apologized to him. I grabbed my suitcases and
we walked out of the airport into the freezin cold.
Once we were outside I saw that one fine girl again, and she was kinda
away from the rest of the group and with two other girls, one of them
was the same one I had seen her with earlier. The other one was also
pretty fyne, she had light brown hair, blue eyes, and she was wearing
baggy black corduroy pants, a navy blue sweatshirt, and she was wearing
a black beanie on her head.
"Yo AJ, our bus is- oh, damn those girls are fyne," Brian joined me.
"Especially the one with the beanie."
I laughed. "So you think one of them's fine too?" I asked. "Great,
now maybe if we actually talk to one of those girls, you, me, and Howie
can hook up with them and go on a triple date or something," I joked.
"Yeah, we'll have time," Brian said sarcastically. "It'lll be even
better with the security guards swarming around and the press in our
faces." He rolled his eyes.
I laughed. "You never know Bri," I told him. "It could happen, I
mean, there weren't even any fans waiting for us at the airport, so you
never know, maybe these two months in Paris will be exactly what we
need."
Brian sighed. "Yeah, maybe you're right. So, anyway," Brian implored,
"which is the one you like?"
I made a head gesture towards the one I liked. "The one with the black
snowboarding jacket."
"Wow, she has nice eyes," he said.
"Yup," I agreed. "The view from behind ain't bad either..."
"Hey guys, com'n!" Kevin yelled to us. "Get on the bus, let's go!"
"Ah right, sorry cuz," Brian said, walking towards the bus. I followed
him, but not before sneaking one last long look at the firl who had
already stolen my heart.
* * *
The airport was about a one hour drive away from Paris, and Howie, Nick
and Kevin kicked back and got some sleep while Brian and I just kinda
talked about stuff... mostly about the girls we had seen.
"So which one did Howie think was cute?" Brian asked me. "The one in
the white jeans?"
"Umm, yeah," I said. "Too bad we more than likely won't see them
again, though."
"Yeah," Brian agreed. "But they sure did look good."
The two of us were quiet for a few minutes, while visions of the two
girls floated in our minds...
"Hey guys, we've reached the hotel!" our bus driver, Phil, yelled back
to us.
"All right!" I yelled. I hated not being able to move around, but now
that we were finally in Paris, I would be able to walk around, you know,
just do whatever. After almost two years of spending most of my time on
a cramped tour bus, I was glad to have two months of just doing whatever
I felt like doing. Of couse, we would be doing a couple concerts, and
also performing at some dance competition or something, but other than
that, the rest of the vacation was ours.
Well, the five of us got off the bus, with our suitcases and stuff,
which were immediately taken by some hotel staff members. That's one
good thing about geing in the entertainment business, you always get the
nice hotels.
We got into the hotel, and made our way to the front desk, where we
would check in
.
"May I heop you sir?" a desk clerk asked Kevin.
"Uh, yes, we have a reservation under the name Wright," Kevin said
[Author's note: Just in case you don't know, "Wright" is their managers
last name]
"Just a second..." the desk clerk said, as he typed some stuff into his
computer. "Oh, yes, suite number 48. How many keys will you be
needing?"
"Uh, 5 keys," Kevin said.
"All right then," the clerk said, handing Kevin the keys,"enjoy your
stay here at Paris."
"Thank you," said Kevin, and the five of us plus the two staff members
with our luggage headed up to the elevator.
Nick, who was walking in front of me, all of a sudden turned to talk to
me.
"Hey AJ-" he started, but stopped himself when something behind me
caught his attention.
I turned around to see what he was looking at. "What's up Nick?" I
asked, turning back towards him.
"That girl over there man," he said to meeh,"she hella fine."
I turned around again. And there I found (surprise, surprise) the fine
girl standing at the front dexk, along with the girl Howie liked, the
firl Brian liked, and a fourth girl, and I assumed that was the one Nick
was gawking at. She had chin length black hair, but the two strands of
hair in front were longer than the rest of her hair, and they were
highlighted. I couldn't see the color of her eyes, though.,br>
"Let me guess," I said to Nick, who hadn't taken his eyes off the girl
for even a split second, "it's the one with the big puffy black Nike
jacket and blue jeans, right?"
"How'd you know?" Nick asked me, with a quizzical expression upon his
face
.
"Lucky guess," I answere, shrugging my shoulders. This was honestly
getting kinda wierd... but I guess you never know.. love works in
mysteerious ways.
I let Nick gawk at that one girl for a few more minutes, I knew he was
enchanted by her, just like Brian, Howie and I had been. But when I
felt we needed to go, I gor him to snap out of his little trance.
"C'mon Nick," I said. "We really hafta catch up with the others."
"All right," he said.,br>
We hurried to catch up with them, each of us taking one more glance at the girls.
Chapter 3- Jana Sorriano
"You guys go and check in while I tell everyone else what's gonna be
going on," Miss Vasquez, our advisor/coach told me, River, Aura and
Haileeh. Essence would stay behind and help out Miss Vasquez.
So me, Aura, Haileeh and River stepped out of the bus and into the
(posh) hotel.
While approaching the front desk, I noticed someone out of the corner
of my eye... it was that one guy I had seen in the airport and on the
plane.
"Jana, what are you looking at?" my cousin River asked me. She
followed my gaze toward the guy (well, at least the back of the guy- he
was walking towards ann elevator). "Oh, so THAT'S what you're looking
at... hmm, not bad... definitely not bad," she said as she watched him
from behind.
"River!" I exclaimed. "Is that the first thing you look at in guys?"
"Come on Jana, be honest," she said, "I know you were looking at his
ass too."
"Okay, okay," I confessed. "I was looking, but I wouldn't have said
anything. Besides," I continued, ignoring the "yeah right" look River
was giving me,"I wasn't looking at him because of that. I might have
been looking at it, but that wasn't why I was looking at him."
"Really," River said, unconvinced.
"Really!" I said. "I just think that I saw his face on one of those
Teeny Bopper magazines! Come to think of it, his ass looks kinda
familiar too..." I joked.
River laughed. "Are you sure it was that guys face-or ass- that you
saw?”
I'm pretty sure," I told her. "But then again, I think we would have
heard of them or something. Oh well, just forget about it."
"All right," said River.
River and I walked up to the front desk to join Aura and Haileeh.
"Did you guys check in yet?" I asked Haileeh.
"Kinda,"she told me. "They still have to get all the rooms and keys
organized and everything."
"It's taking forever," River said.
"River, stop bitching," I told her.
"Great, now I'm bitching," she said, "and i'm gonna bitch some more
because..." she trailed off for a second,"who is that fyne ass guy?"
"Where?" Aura, Haileeh and I asked.
"Don't turn around!" River exclaimed, just in time. "I dont' want it
to be obvious. Hey, ya know what, I think he's friends with the guy
that has a nice ass."
"How do you know?" I asked her.
"Probably because the two of them are talking together, and the guy
with the nice ass is looking at you," she observed.
"What!" I exclaimed, "where?" I asked, almost turning my head towards
the two guys.
"No, don't turn around!" River said.
"Why not?" I asked her.
"Cuz that'll make it obvious!" she said.
"Wait up," Aura said," who's the guy with the nice ass?" she was
facing towards me now, so she was able to see which one he was.
He's the one wearing the hat and shades," River told her.
"Wow," Aura said. "He's pretty fyne."
"Wait up, he's not looking anymore," River said. "Okay, you guys can
turn around now."
We turned around. Aura was right, the guy in the hat and shades WAS
fyne. I had seen him earlier, but I never really got that good a look
at his face. But he really was fyne...
The guy with blond hair looked good too... he was really hella tall,
but River likes really, really tall guys for some reason. Me, I just
don't care, as long as the guy isn't shorter than me.
"Damn," Haileeh said,"I wonder if they got brothers..." Haileeh said as
they walked away...
