"Man why won't the Jennifers notice me?" Carlos asked frustrated after the three girls blew him off again.
"Not like it didn't happen before," James teased. I rolled my eyes and scoffed a little bit. This was ridiculous. They've been talking about the Jennifers for hours and I swear if they don't shut up, I'm going to go insane.
"I don't see them begging for you to be their boyfriend."
"That's because I'm out of their league," James defended himself against Logan's accusation. Kendall watched the confrontation with a 'my friends are idiots' look plastered on his face.
"Ugh would you guys shut up!" I finally snapped, "Girls aren't as simple as your ABCs and 123s. Just because the Jennifers aren't giving you the time of day it doesn't mean they're not interested."
"Huh?" all the guys said in unison. I sighed in annoyance and put my face in my hands.
Men! Can't live with em, can't live without em!
"It's simple reverse psychology. Once a guy wants something he goes after it and when he finds out he can't have it he'll work harder to get it. You don't have to be a genius to figure that out!"
"Oh I get it," Carlos paused, "So the Jennifers wants to play tag?" The guys shook their heads at Carlos and Kendall patted the Latino on his shoulder. I was just wondering how he came to that solution.
"Not quite. I think what Mary is getting at is that girls like the attention and are purposely ignoring us to get it."
"That's exactly what I'm saying. At least Kendall got it."
"So we just play cool and ignore them back?"
"Exactly. It's not rocket science." I said confirming James summary of what I was telling them.
"Does that work on all girls?" he questioned further. I raised an eyebrow and answered slowly, "Depends, there are some girls who are straight about it. Why?" He shook his head and before I could push him to talk Carlos was in my face.
"She did the eye brow thing!" he yelled excited pointing at my eyebrow which only rose higher.
"Yea so what?"
"Kendall is the only person I know who can do it," he explained and again I felt like I was talking to a overhyped child. I looked at Kendall and he showed me.
"That's great Carlos but I got to go now so good luck with the Jennifers," I said remembering that I had to find my mom and tell her the good news. And if I don't do it soon I'll definitely get distracted.
"Alright but we should hang out again soon."
"Sure Kendy. You know where to find me," I chuckled when he groaned at my new nickname for him. I waved and jogged to the lobby elevators.
"Don't forget rehearsals tomorrow!" Logan called. I gave him a thumbs up as the elevator slid closed. When it did and I knew no one was watching I did a happy dance jumping in place and throwing my hands in the air. I dropped to my knees and whipped my hair in circles pretending I was strumming an electric guitar, basically going wild. Then the elevator opened and a brunette stepped in.
"Oh what role is that for?" she asked I instantly stood up, embarrassed.
"What? Oh it's not for any role I was just really," I paused, "happy."
"So you were dancing in the elevator because you were happy?"
"Sort of," I smiled sheepishly.
"That's not weird at all," she joked but when I didn't reply she continued, "Don't worry you'll fit in great. I'm Camille by the way," she stuck out her hand dramatically; "I'm an aspiring actress."
"Mary," I replied shaking her hand, "I'm a musician. Well sort of."
"Oh well have you met Big Time Rush? They're a band here at the Palm Woods."
"Already did. I hung out with them today," I said matter-of-factly and just like that tension rose and she glared at me with so much hatred I thought she was about to pull out a knife and stabbed me to death then toss my remains into the pool.
"Well here's a fair warning Logan is mines. You go anywhere nears him and you'll pay so you better watch out, Mary," then she laughed, "So how was I?" At the same time the elevator dinged.
"Oh that's my floor. Duty calls," I spoke quickly then hightailed it out of there because things were getting to creepy in that small space.
"Okay! See you later girlfriend," she yelled back enthusiastically. People here just went from weird to bizarre; I thought to myself as I unlocked my apartment.
"Mom I'm home," I yelled only because she made it a rule ever since I came home early one day and she thought I was a burglar and almost killed me so it was for my own safety.
"I'm in the kitchen!" I entered the kitchen and sat on top the countertop ignoring my mother's protest, "I have great news," I announced. She put the knife she was using down.
"Did you feed Roscoe?" I groaned.
"Mom I have life changing news and you're worried about a dog?" I exclaimed with disbelief.
"Roscoe is not just a dog he's family and besides you can tell me after your dog isn't starving."
"Fine," I said and quickly went to do what she asked before coming back and sitting on the counter top again. I petted Roscoe on my way back. He was a black pug.
"Oh one more thing before you tell me can you-"
"Mom I got a record deal!" I blurted out before she could ask me to do another time wasting errand.
"Honey that's great," she said ecstatic. She grabbed me in a death grip, "I'm so proud of you!"
"Thanks mom!"
"This calls for a party!" she concluded and I laughed shaking my head. My mom threw a party for anything. If I got an A on a test we threw a party. When we got a dog she threw a party. One time I had an allergic reaction to peanut butter and she threw a party. Once she tried to throw a party because I finally filled up an A cup but that's where I had threw the line.
"What doesn't?" I joked but my mom ignored me as she started making plans.
"I barely know anybody to throw a party and parties aren't even allowed here," I pointed out before my mom could get carried away.
"Fine it'll be a social gathering! No more than ten people, I promise. Please Mary? Just this one time?"
"Just this once," I gave in early knowing it was going to happen sooner or later so might as well get it over with.
"Thank you sweet heart you won't regret this!" she ran out to make calls forgetting about anything that had to do with dinner.
"I already am," I muttered when she left. I slid off the counter and headed for my room. I had an amazing inspiration for a song earlier and I didn't have my song book around so I was repeating it in my head for the longest. Grabbing my song book I scribbled it down quickly and thought of the chorus I wrote some rough drafts but gave up when none of them turned out how I wanted.
"Another song gone bad," I mumbled plopping on my bed to go to sleep but I was too wired to rest so I resorted to staring at the ceiling. My mom came in a few minutes afterwards.
"I was thinking we could have it tomorrow night?"
"Sure fine."
"So six sounds good to you?"
"Yea it sounds fine."
"Great I can't wait!" she cheered practically bouncing on her toes with excitement. She looked like an overgrown child and I instantly thought of Carlos and smiled. He was such a sweetheart. Then I frowned as I thought about how he tried to impress the Jennifers and they blew him off. They didn't deserve his attention at all. It is girls like that that make girls like us look bad or maybe it's the other way around. Who knows? Anyways any girl would be lucky to have someone like Carlos, or even James, Kendall, or Logan because they were all great guys. I knew that if a girl gave them a chance to prove themselves the guys will make her fall in love with them.
Logan could easily sweep a girl off her feet with his intellect and boyish nature.
Carlos would keep her happy with his energetic personality and she'll never be bored with him because the fun won't ever stop with him.
James could win a girl with just his smile and his looks are definitely the icing on top of the cake. He's also charming. He would make a perfect prince for a damsel in distress.
Kendall is just so easy to talk to and is so understanding that any girl would be more than satisfied with a catch like him. He would be the best friend a girl could only dream to have with the added benefits.
But why am I thinking about them like that? They're interested in the Jennifers and Kendall is entranced with Jo.
I snorted that relationship wasn't going to last long they just seemed to different. Kendall was a big thinker that made things happen on his own and Jo seems close minded from my point of view. I could be wrong but that doesn't happen often. Now I sound stuck up but it's true that I'm rarely wrong though I would like to say otherwise considering I'm a pessimist 24/7. I expect the worse. For example, the guys are wasting their times on three girls that are obviously not right for them.
The guys might be perfect for any girl but only a down to Earth girl can handle them. I groaned why couldn't I stop thinking about this? Whoever the guys want to date that's their choice and my opinion doesn't matter so this topic was a waste of time. I stuffed my head into the pillow and squeezed my eyes shut to force myself to sleep. After awhile though, nothing happened. I didn't drift off into the dream of consciousness; neither did I get a great idea for a song. I was just there, in my bed, thinking about the guys like some sick obsessed pervert with no life.
(A/N) - Well here it is. It's not my greatest but I've been really busy. You guys did deserve an update though so here you go. Please tell me what you think.
