Chapter 2
I pulled out my luggage from the airport as I walked out. Where am I you ask? Well, I'm in Los Angeles CA.
What am I doing here?
I honestly don't know
It was all a blur which I don't want to bore you with. Getting straight to the point, my dad, one of Hollywood's leading directors convinced me, his only daughter, to act in his next movie.
I did try to argue by stating a fact that I didn't know acting and that I'm too modest and down to earth. My father and mother looked at me like I'd grown two heads and informed me that they knew what took place in school today.
Yup. Aaron turned out to be a traitor.
If you're guessing how Aaron comes up in this, his dad is the producer of the movie. So basically, our dads go long back. That's how I met him in the first place.
You can say we're diaper buddies .
Best friends!
Enemies...
Frenemies.
Yup, that's gotta be it.
So long story short, here I am, at Los Angeles airport waiting for my dad's secretary to come pick me up.
I mean, how bad could it be? Maybe I have to play the quiet girl in the background or something. My dad cunningly escaped before I could ask him what the movie was about.
Dammit. He's learning my skills.
Well, looking at the plus side- I get to bunk school... at least the last week of it. Our vacations start after that. Plus, I also get to spend time with my dad.
Yay!!!!
Don't get me wrong, it's not like my dad is never around or anything it's just, he's gone most of the time. Mom is great and all but sometimes, a girl just needs her dad.
Another thing in this deal is that Aaron is coming too. I didn't include it in the pros coz I don't know how to feel about it...
He'll be arriving tomorrow. He said something about how he needs more time to pack. Sometimes it doesn't feel like he's a brother. He might as well be my little sister....
OK, OK, just kidding. He's the only person in my life I have closest to a sibling. In a group that brother-sister bond doesn't show but he's the one guy (granted he's crazy and a pain in the ass) I can always rely on.
Being an only child I always complained that I don't have a brother. But once Aaron and I became close, he filled up that vacant spot. He teased me, stole my food, fought with me for the remote, pranked me, made me cry, consoled me and always gave me a shoulder to cry on.
Yup. You just gotta love him! And you most definitely got to hate him...
I'm a pretty confused person even though you would never know unless I tell you.
"Avalon! Honey is that you?" A honey sweet voice called out.
Yup lady. It's me!
I'm legit, I'm no counterfeit.
OK, I'm stopping.
I turned around to see a slim fair lady, dressed up in posh attire. She was most definitely pretty. Got to give her that. Her hair hung in loose brown curls around her unlined face while a small smile played on her lips. She waved at me from afar and I waved back.
We made our way towards each other and she finally stopped in front of me. She then extended her hand towards me with a warm smile.
"Hello, I'm Angelina, your dad's secretary," she greeted.
I shook her hand. "Nice to meet you," I said with a bright smile of my own.
"Come on. Let's get going." Angelina said as she picked up one of the suitcases.
I know this is the time I say 'it's fine' and she says 'no, I insist' but I don't want to take the risk.
One time, this guy was carrying my luggage and I said that he doesn't have to bother with it so he shrugged and gave it back to me.
People are becoming more selfish I tell ya. They don't follow the damn script.
I got into a blue mini Cooper and put on my seatbelt waiting to go.
Angelina started driving.
"So, we'll be going to the hotel today. Your dad's house is kind of in a mess and not fit for staying in so you'll be at the hotel for a few days." Angelina said briefly looking towards me still smiling.
"I know, I know." I said with a poker face.
"Uh...What?" Angelina asked me curiously.
"The old guy's watching porn isn't he?" I asked as the poor lady choked on her saliva.
"What? No! It's purely recreational purposes-" she stuttered but stopped when I laughed out loud.
"I was just pulling your leg Angie, I know my dad wouldn't do that." I said. Once she realised I was joking, she visibly relaxed and chuckled.
"Well, you never know," she said with a wink. "You know what? You're not as snobby as I though you'd be. You're a cool kid. I like you," she said looking at me with a genuine smile.
"Right back at ya," I said. Well, I've always liked people who like me. Maybe this won't be so bad after all.
We finally came to a stop in front of this hotel which went by the name of Paradise. I assessed the place I was going to be staying at. It was nothing I wasn't used to.
It was well kept, posh and looked expensive.... sometimes I wish I could live in a normal hotel, just one cosy room, with my family and friends.... I shook my head at the thought.
Not going to happen any time soon.
We entered the lobby and made our way to the reception. The guy immediately recognized Angelina.
"Ah! Ms. Jones! How are you doing this fine day?" He spoke in a British accent. He was a stout old man who looked in his late forties.
"I'm, good Mike!" Angie- that's her new nickname now, said. "Oh, and meet Avalon! She's Mr. Karson's daughter," she introduced me.
"Sup, Mike?" I asked happily extending my fist and he bumped it with his own.
Yeah, I like the manager as well. These people are all cool.
In case you didn't get the memo I get along with everyone really well. It's one of my many talents.
"Hello there young lady," Mike beamed as he handed us the keys. Some other customers came up to him and he said a curt 'enjoy your stay' before going off to attend to them.
I looked at the room number on the key. 3036.
Angie suddenly got a phone call and she gave me an apologetic look before picking up the call. I was sorta tired and hungry so I decided to just go to my room myself. I beckoned to Angie that I was going and she just nodded with a smile.
I got in the elevator and reached the third floor. I was leaning against the back of the elevator closing my eyes until someone cleared their throat. I opened my eyes to see this small boy grinning at me. I narrowed my eyes at him but he simply smiled mischievously. I straightened up and walked out.
Something tells me I'll see a lot of him in the days to come. I shuddered. Some kids had the capacity to be very creepy.
I reached 3036 to find it unlocked.
Talk about carelessness!
I shrugged, not wanting to make a huge deal about it. I pushed open the door completely and entered.
Ah! Home sweet home!
I went straight into the bedroom and switched off the lights deciding to call it a day. Suddenly someone held my hands and pressed me against the wall.
Before I could comprehend what was happening the guy whoever it was held both my hands on either side of my face. I tried kicking him in his family jewels but his knees held mine against the wall. He held both hands above my head and my mouth before I could scream.
God dammit!!
"How much for the night babe?" He asked me in a husky voice.
How bout a 1 million punches and a push off the freaking balcony!!
I struggled to get out of his grasp but his hold was too tight. I felt completely helpless as I tried getting out of his hold but he didn't budge.
Before I could stop it my eyes welled up and a tear slipped onto my cheek. The second it hit the guy's hand his hold loosened.
"Shit! Don't cry! I'm sorry!" The guy said, releasing my hands. He reached behind me to switch on the lights but I took this time to regain my posture and I slapped him hard. The lights flickered on this very moment and I took a minute to praise his looks.
Wait, I know him! Everyone knows him! I just slapped my celebrity crush! I slapped Jason Saunders!
Kill me now! Just kill me.
"What the-" Jason started off before turning to look at my face but I slapped him again, harder than last time.
Yup. He ain't going to see my face any time soon.
But he wasn't one to give up as he tried to turn around once again and I slapped him?
Nah!
I punched him.
Let me rephrase that.
I punched Jason Saunders! Straight on his freaking perfect nose. I hope it doesn't break! Please god! That will be a shame.
I think I hit a nerve or something because he fainted on the bed behind him.
Shoot!
I was tempted to sit and ogle his features but I had more pressing matters to attend to. Before I could go see the damage done another voice interrupted me.
"Hey bro! What's all the noise ab-" A guy with dark brown hair and Hazel eyes whom I recognized as actor, Kyle Anderson came and halted at the door when he saw me. We both looked at each other with wide eyes.
And we did what anyone would do at that movement. We screamed. Loud.
Did it become legal to just pop into anyone's room without freaking knocking?!
Geez, talk about getting a little privacy.
"Aaaaaaaah!!! We both screamed and then stopped. Kyle started again and I followed suit.
Yeah, I'm competitive. Sue me!
We finally stopped as he placed a hand to his chest. "You scared me!" He said breathing out loud.
"I could say the same to you," I said scowling at him. He was about to reply when his eyes fell on something behind me and his eyes widened in fear. I looked back to see Jason lying there unconscious.
Right.
I slowly turned around to look at Kyle as I put my hand in front of me in self defence. "OK, I know it looks bad but it's not what you think it is." I said slowly as he raised his perfect eyebrow at me incredulously.
"I think you punched Jay on his nose and he became unconscious." He asked looking at me wearily.
I shrugged. "Well, in that case, it is what you think it is, but let me-" I tried but was cut short as he ran away.
"Security! Guards!! Crazy fan in my room is abusing my friend." He screamed as he ran out.
Oh nuh- ah. I'm not getting hauled up by the police on my first day here. Dad will flip!
I ran behind Kyle to stop him but noticing this he ran faster.
"She's trying to abuse me now!!" He shouted as I used colourful words under my breath for the coward.
I suddenly bumped into a stone and fell back but two arms securely caught me. Oh. So it's a statue. A really fine one at that. I glanced up into the most striking blue eyes I'd ever seen. His brown hear was messily spiked up and all I needed was a popcorn to thoroughly ogle him.
"Hey there, beautiful," he chuckled out as he gave me a small smile.
I think I died a little.
"Hello?" He whispered out tilting his head as I sighed dreamily.
Wait, do statues talk?
Oh my god! He was real. What the hell is he doing in my room?!
But, no real guy can be this hot, can he?!
Statues are made of stone. So he won't feel pain.
As I was contemplating all this, he smiled at me.
"Are you okay?" He asked me.
And what did I do? I got my hands up to his and I pinched him. Hard.
"Ow!!" The guy said as he let me fall to the ground on my butt.
Doesn't a person get immune to this at all?!
He's real!
I embarrassed myself in front of him.
Why god?!
Why?!
Ground, just swallow me already. Please! I don't deserve to live!!!
Before he could react I ran into the nearest room to see Kyle on the bed with a sausage in his hand. He pointed it towards me like a sword while backing away.
"If you come near me, I will harm you," he said in a scared tone.
I rolled my eyes. I was hungry anyway.
"Put it down..." I said in a strict tone while he shook his head defiantly.
Oh god!
"Hey, what the hell is going on here?" A female voice suddenly came from outside.
I turned around to see Angie and then a sausage.
I looked back at Kyle to see that he had indeed thrown the chicken sausage on her face. He immediately paled as Angie directed a very lethal glare at him.
"She did it!" He shouted, pointing at me.
I scoffed. But immediately widened my eyes as the glare came my way.
So this is how Aaron feels...
Suddenly the hot guy from earlier made an appearance as he regarded the situation with raised eyebrows. Jason came in behind him, rubbing his head. Once he saw me his eyes widened.
Jason pointed an accusing finger at me "This girl punched me and she slapped me thrice!" He claimed as I immediately argued.
"He pushed me against the wall and shut my mouth. A girl's got to have self defence!" I cried out.
"Guys-"
"And I slapped you only twice." I said determinedly.
"See, she just accepted it."
"She's abusing everyone!"
"He threatened to throw a sausage at me!"
"Aha! But I didn't!"
"Yeah genius! I said threatened!"
"Stop fighting!"
"I can't believe you punched me!"
"I'm sorry, OK?!"
"Hey, why don't I get a sorry?!"
"Coz I didn't freaking do anything to you buffalo!!" I said exasperatedly to Kyle's last comment.
He furrowed his eyebrows and shrugged. "Fair point," he said.
"Sir, are you fine?!" Two guys in black came from the door. "You said someone was abusing you."
"She punched me!"Jason said as they looked at me and when they didn't recognize me they made a move to catch me.
I jumped to the side and hot guy came in front of me. "It was a misunderstanding. We're sorry to have bothered you." He said in the deepest voice ever.
The guards nodded and left as he turned around to talk to me. He regarded me with raised eyebrows.
"Introduce yourself." He ordered as I nodded timidly.
"I'm Avalon Karson," I said waving at them.
"So you're Mr.Karson's daughter!" Kyle said recognition crossing his eyes.
"Wow, nobody could have possibly guessed it from my surname! Gee, you're smart!" I said sarcasm dripping from my words.
"I know right! These people call me dumb though," Kyle said with a sad face.
Shocker!
I gasped exaggeratedly putting my hand to my chest."They do now?!" I asked as Jason smirked at me.
"So," Jason started off as I turned to look at him. "I believe you know our names, we're you're co-stars in the movie." He said with a smile, probably recovered from the punch. "Before moving on ,care telling us what you were doing in our room?" He asked with a smirk.
"Your room?!" I scoffed. "It's my room! 3036" I said waving the keys in front of them.
Hot guy whose name I still don't know chuckled "Yeah, sweetheart, this is 3035," he said with a smug look as my jaw dropped. I slowly stood up and made my way to the door. Opening it, I went outside to see that it was indeed 3035. The '5' was written in a font where it looked almost like 6. My mouth formed an 'o' shape.
I opened and closed it trying to come up with an argument. Too tired to think if anything I shrugged. "Stupid door," I muttered as I went back inside and made myself comfortable.
"Now that introductions are made and all, I hope it runs smooth," Angie said yawning softly.
"Hey guys, um.. what's the movie about?" I asked stifling my yawn.
"It's action." Jason said with a shrug.
"Oh..." I said with a loud yawn.
"You should get some sleep. You need to wake up early for physical fitness training tomorrow." Angie said as my eyes popped open.
"What?! Why me?!" I shouted as they all looked at me like I was the dumbest person alive.
"Because you're the heroine," hot guy stated as I froze in shock.
Say what now?!
0 to 100 real quick...
Oh boy!!!
