Sarah Lynn Logan and I have been best friends for a long time.
We met on the Internet, and when we got old enough we got an apartment
together in Florida. We are very talented, and we share a lot of
the same interests.
Mainly Sarah and I like to talk on the phone, sing, draw,
listen to music, talk on the phone, play basketball, shop, roller blade,
talk on the phone, obsess over their favorite music group "Backstreet Boys,"
and most of all
writing stories. One day we got the idea to send a story Sarah
had written about Backstreet Boys to the Backstreet Boys Fan Club; hoping
Backstreet would get it.
And now here we are, two weeks after sending in the story. Sarah is setting at the kitchen table writing, and I come walking through the front door just as the door rings.
"I got it." I yell
through the house as I run to the door.
"Hello!" I say
"Hello. Is Sarah
or Suzanna there?" asks a voice.
"Yes, this is Suzanna.
May I help you?" I ask in a confused voice.
"Yes. This is Johnny
Wright, one of the managers of the Backstreet Boys. We received a
letter and
a story from you and Sarah. We were interested in asking you some
questions about it."
"Sure you can!!
Hey Sarah come here." I yell in an anxious voice.
We talk to Johnny about the story and he says
that he would like to turn our story into an actual movie. He
would like to star us and the Backstreet Boys. We agree to
it.
"Good. We would
like you to leave today. We already have someone coming to pick you
two up. Well, I'll
see you in a bit. Bye." says Johnny.
We quickly put on decent, but not too dressy, outfits. We want to look nice, but not look like we want to be all dressed up for it. Just as we are sure that we're ready we hear a honk outside. Sarah looks out the window and sees a limo.
---------------------------------------------
"Hello, I'm Donna
Wright, I think you spoke to my husband on the phone. You two ladies
must be Sarah and
Suzanna"
We shake her hand and I say, "Yes that's us. But you can call me Suzy-Q, everyone else does."
"Well, OK then.
Would you ladies please follow me?" asks Donna while motioning us
to go into the
building.
---------------------------------------------
Donna leads us to a room. On one side of the room, there are cameras, lights, and chairs with people standing all around. On the other side we can see what looks like the inside of a school.
"What is all of
this?" Sarah asks.
"This is part of
the set to the movie. You and the guys will be playing teenagers
in their senior year in high school. The reason I asked you two here
was, mainly, so we see how you guys are at acting, we also want you to
meet the guys." Donna says just as Brian and AJ walk onto
the set.
Brian walks up to
Sarah, extends his hand, and says, "Hi, I'm Brian. So you two are
who we're working
with?"
I smile, extend
my hand towards him, and say, "Yeah, you have a problem with that?"
AJ walks towards me with
a smile as he studies me and says, "I'm not sure about him, but I have
NO problem
with it. Hi, I'm AJ."
As Howie, Kevin, and Nick walk in, a group of girls comes running into to room and surrounds them. Sarah and I walk away from the group and sit down on the stage. After the bodyguards work the crowd back, the guys walk over to us.
"Are you even a fan?"
Asks Nick
"Yeah, were just not
dingy. We love you guys, but you're just normal guys." Sarah
says
I look at the guys and
say, "Yeah, we love you're music and all of you guys. I can tell
you must not be used
to being treated normal, since you don't think we like you."
We all start talking with the five guys. Then the manager comes over to us and says, "Since you guys are so good together I want you girls to be main characters in this video.
Sarah and I both say, "Cool,
what parts do we play, what do they consist of?"
Then Johnny tells Sarah, "
You'll be playing a girl that has a secret admirer. And you
think it's the new
guy, Nick, but it's actually your best guys friend, Brian."
"And Suzanna, you will be playing
her best friend who is going to be having a secret fancy with AJ.
AJ and you
are friends but you'd love to go out with him. And he turns out to
like you too." Donna tells me. " I want to
see if you guys all act well together. So rehearse this scene,
to see how you all do. Suzanna, go stand
next the lockers."
I walk over to the group
of lockers and open one of them. When the director gives the cue
to roll film, my acting side just comes out. A group of girls (apparently
supposed to be part of my group) come up to me and start
telling me about how Sarah is getting love notes from someone and
that Brian said he thinks it's the new guy. Then they tell me that
they heard that AJ likes me. Then like an angel from heaven
come to save me from the gossip crew, Brian walks up to me(we're best friends
too).
I ask him, "Do you know
who wrote the letters, to Sarah?"
Then he leans in and
says, "I did."
I go speechless, my mouth
just hangs open. Then AJ walks up to us and says, "Hey guys.
Brian can
Suzanna and I talk alone?"
Brian looks at me and
says, "I'll call you tonight, until then keep it a secret. Bye Suzy-Q,
bye AJ."
As Brian walks away I
turn towards AJ. He looks at me seriously and says, "I want to know
if...well....if you'd
like to...go out sometime."
I start getting mad at
him and say, "This is a mean joke Alexander James McLean."
But then he grabs me
by the arm and said, "This isn't a joke, I'd really like to." Then
he leans in to kiss me
and just as our lips are about to touch, Sarah comes running around the
corner yelling.
"Suzanna I have to talk
to you....Whoa I'm sorry!"
AJ and I jump back from
each other and smile kind of embarrassed. Then Sarah says, "Hey,
it can wait
you guys." with a smile on her face.
He says "Nah, that's
ok. I'll call you later Suzy" Then he leans forward and gives
me a kiss on the cheek.
As he leaves, Sarah
runs up to me and starts talking a mile a minute about AJ and me.
Then she hands me a letter and tells me to read it, even though she keeps
going on about AJ and me. I read the letter, and it's the sweetest
thing anyone's ever written. Knowing that Brian wrote the letters, I get
all soft, and say,
"Oh he's so sweet."
Sarah looks at me funny and says
"You know who it is,
who is it? You have to tell me who it is, friends don't hold those
things from each
other. Come on Suzy-Q, tell me!" Then I remember that it is a secret
about Brian writing them.
"I just proposed it was
a guy" I reply.
She says, "Oh ok.
I know he's sweet, should I go meet him?"
I make her promise me
she'll go.
---------------------------------------------
The director says,
"Cut."
We walk over and talk
with him. He says, "You guys are good actors, this is going to be
a great film."
We sit there talking
with the guys. Mainly Sarah and me talking and joking around with
Brian and AJ. Then the manager asks us if we could be romantic, if
we would feel, uncomfortable.
I say, "Who, me?"
Then I wrap my arms around AJ from the back and Sarah interlocks arms with
Brian.
We all laugh and the
guys say, "I think they'll be just fine."
Then Brian asks us, "Do
you guys want to go to a party with us tonight?"
We say, "Yes" as we walk
out.
AJ grabs my arm and pulls
me closer to him.
