Just Not Sure - Chapter 10 - Bring It
Maria turned the gold door knob but it wouldn’t budge. "It wont turn!" She acknowledged. Deidra rolled her eyes. "Ugh, let me open it." Deidra tried but the door knob wouldn’t turn. "I think it’s locked." Lindsey pointed out. All the girls gave her that "no shit!" look. "What?!" She asked. Just then Claudia came walking by the girls. "Claudia!" Maria screamed. She turned around, "Oh Hey girls, here to see the boys?" "Yea, well, we’re trying to atleast." Deidra said pointing to the door. "But it’s locked." Claudia looked confused. "Hmm...it shouldn’t be.." She pulled out her ring of keys and went to open the door only to see the boys wern’t in there. "Oh Great, now where could they be!?" Lindsey asked. "OMG!!!!!!!!!!!" They heard a girl scream. They turned around and saw a girl running carrying 5 teddy bears and a bunch of posters. "No way!! It’s Dream Street’s dressing room!!! Like, this is sooo cool!!!" Deidra looked at the girl up and down. "Like who are you!?" She asked, imitating the girl. "My name’s Amy!" She said cheerfully. "I’m only the BIGGEST DS FAN EVER!!!!!" She screamed. "Yea, i think we established that." Erica replied. Amy looked at Maria and Deidra. "Heeeeyyyyy...... aren’t you guys Greg and Jesse’s Gi-" "Yes, Yes, we are." Maria answered before the girl could even finish her question. Claudia gave the girl a sympathetic look. "Hun, i’m sorry but you can’t be back here without a pass, the guys aren’t here anyway." Amy gave a depressed look. "Why are they here then?" She asked, pointing to Erica, Lindz, Deidra and Maria. "They know the guys, I’m sorry hunny." Claudia replied. The girl shrugged and turned away to walk out the door. "Woooowww...that was freaky." Lindz concluded. "Yea, that’s nothing." Deidra replied back with a laugh. Maria agreed. Claudia looked at her watch. "Well girls, the show starts in about 40 minutes, so, I’m going to go find the guys, your welcomed to help if you want. If I find them, i’ll tell them your here." The girls just nodded their head and continued down the hall. Then Lindsey stopped in her tracks. "Wait, we’re NEVER going to find them this way, why don’t we just split up?" "Yea. That’s a good idea, I mean, like we’re making progress by doing this." Maria added. So the girls split up.

After wandering around for about 15 minutes Erica figured she was going around in circles. How big could the hallway be? Just then Deidra, Maria and Lindsey all came around different corners. Deidra laughed. "wow, I guess we got far." The other girls laughed. "Haha Frankie!!!" Erica turned around. "What was that?" Maria looked over to a door that was cracked open. "It’s coming from over there." She pointed out. The girls walked over to the door. "What the hell are they doing?" Lindz whispered so Frankie and whoever was in there could hear her. "Personally, I really don’t wanna know." Deidra joked. The girls tried not to laugh. They crouched down near the door and looked inside. Erica covered her mouth at the sight. In there was a girl, about 5’2 with brown hair that had blonde highlights in it. She was sorta tan and looked about 13 or 14. The girl was kissing Frankie as he ran his hands up and down her back. "WHAT THE HE-" Deidra tried to scream but Erica covered her mouth. "SHHHHHH!!!!" The girl stopped kissing frankie and stood up. Frankie looked confused. "What?" She looked around. "Did you hear somthing?" Frankie looked around with her. "No, why?" The girl sat back down. "Oh....... well I thought I did. Never Mind. Now where were we?" She asked, a slight smile crossed her face. "I can’t see!!" Maria said as she shoved Deidra over. "Well now I can’t see!" Deidra replied. "Here, let me get on your shoulders." She suggested. "Yea Right!!!" Maria exclaimed. "Shh! Guys, just figure out something!!" Maria sighed and let Deidra climb on her shoulders. Maria squinted. "What the hell Deidra! Cut down on the McDonalds!" Deidra looked down at Maria. "Shut up tubby, I weigh less than you." Lindsey hit both of the girls. "You guys are both thin! Cut it out!!" She semi-yelled. "Woah..Deidra Get off! I’m gonna drop-" as Maria went to finish her sentance, her shoulders gave in and Deidra collapsed into the room followed by Lindsey and Erica. Frankie and the girl stopped kissing and jumped up. Frankie looked suprised. "DEIDRA!?? MARIA!?" He shouted. Deidra got up and brushed herself off. Maria got up too and walked over to Erica and Lindsey. "Um... this isn’t what it looks like...." Lindsey tried to explain. Frankie looked pissed. "Oh Really?" He asked. "Then what is it supposed to look like other than that you guys were spying on me and Kristen." "Kristen? Is that who this is?" Maria asked. Kristen stepped in front of Frankie. "Yea... is there a problem?" "There may be one now." Maria snapped back. Kristen shot Maria a dirty look. "Wow Frankie, looks like you like to kiss both of us, seein as how you kissed me when I was here, guess you found another partner." Erica said matter-of-factley. Kristen looked at Frankie. "What does she mean by that?" Frankie looked at Erica. "Uh...um....you see....I...uh....well....I-" Kristen grabbed her jacket. "No, you don’t have to explain! You Lied to me!! That explains enough!" and with that she stormed out of the room. Deidra looked at Frankie. "Wow, 2 girls mad at you within 5 minutes, I think you broke Chris’s record." Frankie shot Deidra a bad look. "Shut Up Deidra." and looked back at Erica. She shook her head at him and walked away from the door, leaving Maria and Deidra, and Lindsey standing there. "Well, you girls gonna leave too?" He asked. "Yea we should go after her." Maria said to Deidra. "Yea, we better, at least my Greggy isnt as bad as you guys, or I would of dumped his ass a long time ago." "Keep it up Deidra!" Frankie warned her. He slumped down on the couch and ran his fingers through his black spikes.

"Guys, what time is it?" Lindsey asked. Maria looked at her blue Roxy watch Jesse had given to her for her birthday. "Well, let’s just put it this way, 15 minutes till show time." She replied. "Shit, we better find her." Lindsey protested. "And I really want to find Matt." She added. "And why would you want to do that?" She heard an unfamiliar voice asked. She turned around and saw a girl with light brown hair and hazel eyes that was like 5’2 and a half. "Who are you?" Lindsey asked puzzled. "The name’s Nikki, you?" Nikki asked stubornly. "Lindsey, why do you care if I need Matt?" Nikki looked at Lindsey. "Because.... there’s really no need to go look for him, you see, you won’t find anything, he’s already mine." "Oh Really?" Erica asked stepping up next to Lindsey. "Say’s who?" "MATT!!!!!!!!!" Nikki yelled. Matt came around the corner out of breath. "Nikki! I told you to leave me-hey lindz!" Lindz glared at Matt. Matt looked at Nikki, then Lindsey. "Oh nooo.....Nikki, did u tell Lindz you were going out with me? I told you.... we’re THROUGH!" Nikkie looked at Lindsey, then back at Matt. "Oh really?" Nikkie stated. "Then how about this?" Nikkie walked over to Matt and gave him a long kiss. Lindsey burned up with anger. She ran over to Nikkie and jumped on top of her, pulling Nikki away from Matt. "YOU BITCH!" Nikki screamed as she pulled Lindsey’s hair. By now the girls were sprawled on the floor attacking each other furiously. Erica and Maria jumped in and pulled Lindsey off of Nikki. Lindsey’s hair was all messed up and her lip was bleeding, Nikki was the same only her nose was bleeding. Matt just sat there shocked. Deidra looked at Matt. "Well!?" Matt looked at Deidra confused. "Well what?" Deidra rolled her eyes in disgust. "Lindsey just jumped on top of a girl u cant stand because she knew you didn’t want to touch her and your just standing there!?" She yelled. Matt looked back at Erica who was holding Lindsey and walked over to them. Lindsey looked up at Matt. "Sorry, if you wanted to kiss her..I just thought that-" Matt looked at lindey with simpathetic eyes. "Lindsey, I.... I don’t even like her....... noone’s ever done that for me..... i’m the one who should be sorry....." He took Lindsey from Erica and hugged her. Nikki squirmed to try to break free from Maria’s grip but Maria tightened her grip. Nikki wasnt going anywhere. Matt broke away from the hug and looked over at Nikki. "It’s OVER..do you hear me!!?? OVER!!!" And walked away. Silence over came the room and the girls just sat there. They heard "Let Get Funky tonight" blasting from the speakers. "Oh shit! The show started!" Erica yelled over the music. Lindsey cleaned up her lip and the girls ran over to behind the stage. "We wont be able to get seats with that crowd." Maria said pointing to the 900 girls screaming outside. "Yea, no shit." Lindsey replied. "Well...should we just hang out here? I mean, would it be ok?" Erica asked. "Why wouldn’t it be? I mean, we DO know them, we couldn’t really get in trouble...." Maria guessed. "Then I guess that settles it." Deidra concluded. The girls sat down in a circle and listened to the guys and looked out in the crowd at all the signs that displayed sayings such as "Lets Get Funky Frankie!", "Shake it Greg" and "Dream Street is my Sugar rush". Once It Happens Everytime ended the girls knew that the concert had ended. "Well, that means the meet n greet is next." Lindsey said. They walked over to FYE where the meet n greet would be and sat behind the tables. Greg came out and saw Deidra. "Hey!! I tried looking for you in the crowd and you wern’t there!" He said while giving Deidra a hug and kiss on the cheek. "Yea...looooonngg story." She said, hugging him back. Jesse walked over and sat int he chair infront of Maria. He turned around to face her. "Hey, where were you for the performance? I look all over for you." He said, bringing her closer to him. "Well I looked all over for you too, I thought you were in the dressing room but you wern’t there." "Yea, I know, we got ready early so we hung out in the mall." He replied, kissing her. Frankie came out and walked over to Erica. "Hey.... listen...after the show...can we talk?" Erica looked away from him. "I guess" she mumbled. He gave her a slight smile and took his seat. Chris came out and winked at the girls. The girls just sat there throughout the whole meet and greet, making fun of the teenie bopper fans that were coming upto the table. One girl looked over at Erica, she was wearing a shirt that said "Take your Trousers off Trousdale!" on it. Erica smiled at her. The girl walked over to Erica. "Hi, what’s your name?" Erica asked. "Angela, what’s yours?" The girl asked snobbishly. " Oh.. um.. Erica." Erica replied. "I like you shirt, so Chris is your favorite?" Angela looked at Erica. "Yea, looks like it, He knows me, i’m just waiting for him to finish up here. Who’s your favorite?" She asked. "Chris too... but they’re all pretty cool." Angela laughed. "Whats so funny?" Erica asked confused. "Let me guess..... you pray every night that there will be a chance you two can will go out or atleast be friends right?" Erica looked down. "PUH-LEASE hun, it’s NEVER going to happen, look how popular these guys are! You think they’re gonna have time for little fans like you? You have a better chance of getting hit by lightning, look around hunny! look at all the girls around him. What makes you any different!?" With that, Angela picked up her purse and walked away. Erica kept her head down and thought about what the Angela had said. ‘Maybe she’s right.....’ She thought.

"CHRIS! CHRIS!! SIGN MY SHIRT!! PLEASE!!!!!??OMG AHH I CANT BELIEVE ITS REALLY YOU!!" A teenie screamed. Maria rolled her eyes. "Chris! Chris! omg!" She imitated. Lindsey laughed. "Hey Callie!" Deidra heard Greg yell. "Callie? Who’s Callie!?" She asked impatiently. "Callie is the Fan Club vice prez." He replied. "Ohhh...." Deidra stated. Callie walked upto Greg and the guys. "Heyy guys.... wow, looks like a lot of people showed up, you guys were gr.....oh...hi, you must be Greg’s girlfriend." Callie retorted, glaring at Deidra. Deidrea gave Callie a dirty look. "Yea.... yea I am... is that gonna be a problem?" She asked. "Not unless I want it to be." Callie replied meanly. Brian came out and told Callie to go back stage and wait there. She kissed Greg on the cheek and glared back at Deidra. "Oh, isn’t she a freaken ray of sunshine." Deidra exclaimed sarcastically. Greg gave her "that look".
