Katie Gibbs- singer, songwriter, and the servant of her stepmother Gail. She was a pretty girl, but was often overlooked because of her step-sister Beverly Van Ravensway's obnoxious and loud personality and beautiful appearance. Katie's dream was to become a famous singer so that she could escape her step-family, but Gail stepped on that dream at every chance she had. Katie was clever though, because she had several secrets and tricks up her sleeves.

On one particular morning, Katie was having a wonderful dream. She was making a music video for one of her songs and was so happy, that when she woke up due to her step-brother Victor's yelling, it was like crashing back to reality. It wasn't too bad though, because at least she was waking up next to her boyfriend of two years, Luke Morgan. Katie had met Luke at an indie music festival and they had hit it off immediately. They had fallen for each other quickly and within two months of knowing one another, they were dating. They had to keep it a secret though because they didn't know who they could trust not to tell.

"Victor!" Katie yelled in annoyance as she sat up in bed, making sure to use the blanket to cover herself up. Luke also woke up, though it was due more to the fact that Katie's body heat was suddenly gone.

"How much?" Victor asked with an evil grin. At Katie's confused expression, Victor explained further, "How much are you going to pay me to not tell about the boy?"

"I can give you a guitar lesson?" Luke offered.

Victor thought about it for a second. "Deal."

Once Victor had left, Luke chuckled. "Your brother is the spawn of the devil."

Katie sighed. "You're telling me. At least you don't have to live with him."

"True." Luke leaned over and kissed Katie. Smiling, he said, "Good morning by the way."

"Mmmm." She hummed. "Good morning." After a couple more kisses, she said, "You should probably get going. You have a meeting with Gail today, remember?"

"Right." He didn't sound happy about it. "I'll see you there?"

"Of course. I'll most likely be in the corner, pretending I don't exist." Katie was only half-joking.

"Hey, I know you exist."

Katie giggled. "I'm aware. You made that very clear last night."

Luke laughed as he slid from the bed. He quickly hunted down his boxers and clothes, gave Katie one last kiss and a murmured, 'I love you,' and left. Katie was left to get ready for the day alone and make sure everyone at the main house was also dressed and ready.

At the school, Katie was almost immediately called into Gail's office to take notes during her meeting. Luke and Guy were already in there and Luke was lounging on the loveseat. Katie shot him a look that said 'behave' without Gail noticing.

Business went as Katie had expected, but when Gail had told Katie to text Bev to give Luke a tour of the school, Luke interrupted her. "Do you mind if Katie gives me the tour? She's already here and I would hate to inconvenience anyone."

Gail hesitated, but eventually nodded. "I suppose that would be okay. You'll have to meet Bev sometime though. You'll just love her."

"I'm sure I will." Luke said with the easy smile that Katie loved.

Soon Katie and Luke were free to go. Katie showed him where all of the different buildings were and even where the best places to kiss were. They made a stop by the soccer fields where Luke was chatting with the soccer players and Katie was watching from the shade of a tree. It was there that Angela, Katie's best friend, caught up to her. "So did you do it?"

"Do what?" Katie asked.

"Give your demo to Luke Morgan!" Angela said in a 'duh' tone.

"Sort of? I kind of slipped it into his dad's bag. But at least it's with him." Katie assured.

"So is Luke as hot as they say he is?" Angela loved gossip.

Katie laughed. "Hotter."

"You think I'm hot?" Luke asked as he walked over.

"You know that I think you're hot." Katie joked with a smile.

Angela looked between the two in confusion. "What?"

"Angela, this is Luke Morgan, my boyfriend. Luke, this is my best friend Angela."

Angela stuck her hands on her hips and narrowed her eyes at her small best friend. "How long have you been dating? And when exactly were you going to tell me?"

Katie looked down in shame for not telling Angela. "We've been dating for two years. I was going to tell you, but I didn't know how."

Angela sighed and turned to Luke. "Let me be clear lover boy. You hurt my best friend, I hurt you." Just then, a soccer ball flew threw the air towards them, which Angela caught deftly. At the shouts from the soccer players, Angela looked down at the ball and innocently asked, "You want this?" She then dropped to her back and did a fancy but powerful kick at the ball and sent it soaring.

Once she had hopped back up, she arched an eyebrow at Luke. "I kick ass in my free time, so don't mess with Katie."

Luke chuckled. "I'll keep that in mind." He then looked down at his watch and frowned. "I have to get to class. I'll see you at lunch?"

"Of course." Katie answered with a quick kiss and a smile. "Angela and I usually eat in one of the practice rooms, so text me when you get out of class and I'll show you where we are."

Luke nodded and walked off with a wave. When Katie returned her gaze to her best friend, who had a ridiculous grin on her face. "What?"

Angela just smiled more. "You really love him."

"Of course I do. Luke has been there for me through a lot."

"I'm glad you found someone like him. You deserve it." Angela hugged her best friend. "Now, let's get going. We have class too you know."
