'Extras!' The director yelled, I got up from the couch seeing it was my turn to be in the spotlight 'Get on the set!' I jumped to Becky's side as we walked onto a futaristic looking set.
'Dance to the music and look natural!' The director ordered and soon after the music came onto the speakers. I danced as best as I could, looking to my side from time to time. Other girls were partically doing flips there. I noticed Liz and Mel standing by the crew watching me and Becky with laughter.
'Cut!' The director yelled just when I was getting the feel of the song 'Okay, get the guys out here for their single shots!' We were rushed off the stage and moments later the lads appeared in their outfits looking very handsome.
Ritch noticed me from the side and waved slightly. I waved back and blew him a kiss.
'He waved to me!' some girl screeched next to me 'Ritchard waved to me!' Other girls screamed with her from excitment.
'No he didn't!' I told her firmly 'He waved to me...he's my man!'
'Excuse me?' She stopped jumping and looked at me as if I was mad 'Who do you think you are?'
'I'm his girlfriend!'
'How dare you think that!' Another girl stepped in 'Who would want to date your english ass anyways!'
'Someone like Ritchard!' I yelled back, stepping to her face for a challenge 'I'm sure he wouldn't want cellulite ass of yours!'
The crowd that has gathered around us gasped at my remark. The girl stood there, her eyes narrowing at me.
'Cat fight!' I heard one of the crew members yell.
'Break those up before I'll have to sweep some hair of the floor' The director ordered. Liz jumped into the crowd and pushed everyone from me. 'Alright gals...there is enough of Ritch to go around' She laughed at her joke.
'Ritch is mine!' I yelled, stomping my foot down.
'No he's not!' The girl yelled jumping towards me 'Well atleast he wasn't 20 minutes ago in the backroom' Everyone around us gasped in shock. I couldn't take it anymore. I jumped foward, but Liz caught me quickly and the best thing I could do was to pull a handful of the girls hair.
'Everyone break it up!' The assistant to the director stepped in 'You 2! You're fired. I will not take such behavior on this set!' I jerked my hand from Liz and ran into the bathroom.
'There must be something in the food' I laughed to Becky 'Everyone is in the fighting mood'
'Its the American way' Becky snickered. We watched Liz ran after Amanda to the bathroom while the other girls gather up their things and began leaving.
'Well..you'll have more room to spread your arms out on that floor' I pointed out, trying to hold my laughter in. The guys finished their shots and left the stage. The director looked at the remaining bopper girls and sighed.
'Find me more girls!' He yelled to the assistants and stormed out of my sight.
'Excuse me' Someone tapped me. I noticed one of the young woman assistants standing by me 'Would you like to earn some cash'
'Oh no!' I quickly disagreed to it 'I am not taking part in this video!'
'Than what are you doing here?' Becky pointed out, I shot her a warning look and turned back to the girl 'Sorry but no'
'Its almost free money' She pleaded 'Plus my job is on the line here!'
'So?' I shrugged carelessly.
'Come on Melanie, we need you' I heard Abs say, I noticed he was standing only few feet away from me with a cup of water in his hand. He had a huge grin on his face which made me hate myself for agreeing to come to this place.
'Yes we need you' The girl nodded, she looked at me hopefully, awaiting my answer.
'Fine' I gave in 'But only because I need money!' She jumped excited and led me to the dressing room 'If anyone from school sees me in this video I will die' I mumbled to myself.
'Me in a video?' I laughed at that idea 'Yea right!'
'We need people!' The guy exclaimed 'We need you!'
'How much' My face turned serious for negotiation.
'Depends how much you'll do' He exasperated and shoved me to the dressing room.
'Oh God' I mumbled as soon as Melanie appeared in front of me. Her expression seemed to be the same.
'What are you doing here?' She asked moodily 'Aren't dogs supposed to be kept outside?'
'Then you should leave!' I retorted and went straight to the rack of clothing.
'Don't tell me you're in this video too?' She asked, looking at me picking out an outfit.
'No, I'm just here to rummage through clothing' I mumbled. Mel let out a loud groan of frustration and went back to her make up.
10 minutes went by without us saying a word to each other. Not like I had anything to say to her, but then it hit me.
'So what made you take him back?' I asked.
'What?' She looked at me irritated.
'What made you forgive Scott?' I repeated myself with a better explanation. Melanie's expression seemed so amusing to me that I just couldn't help but laugh.
'What the hell are you talking about?' she snapped 'What are you laughing at?'
'Nothing' I calmed down and put on my serious face 'You should talk to Scott or Marissa, whoever you see first'
