Chapter 11

Jasmin's POV

   Lu-an and I are out exploring, going just about anywhere we can find.  We end up spotting Selena Gomez.  She's with a few bodyguards, though.

"Lu-an, we gotta go talk to her."  "You think she'll let us?"  "Only one way to find out."

We approach her and her bodyguards respectfully.  "Hi, um-"  Lu-an begins to speak, but gets cut off by one of Selena's henchmen.  "Step away.  From Selena."  He says with utmost authority.

"Nah, Josh, it's cool."  She says.  The henchmen separate, opening up a space for Selena to move.  She steps towards us.

"Hi, Selena.  I know you don't know us, and we don't mean to bother you on your day out, but I was wondering if we could get a picture with you, please."  Lu-an gracefully says.  It's like she's always prepared to meet celebrities.

How many has she met before?

Selena smiles.  "I don't mind taking a picture with my fans."

Well, I wouldn't exactly say I'm a fan of hers.  Like, I definitely don't hate her, but I don't listen to her music religiously or keep tabs on her life.  It's just the normal thing where I've heard some of her songs (especially in her Disney days), seen Wizards of Waverly Place, and now I want to interact with her because I know of her and she's famous.

When you break it down like that, it seems kinda mean and shallow.  Oh well.

Lu-an gives Selena her phone.  The three of us get in position.  Selena throws up a peace sign and we make silly faces.  Selena takes the pic.

"This one's for the books."  Selena claims, giggling.  "Thanks so much Selena.  We'll be on our way now.  We don't wanna bother you any longer."  Lu-an says.

We turn to walk away.  "Wait,"  Selena says.  We turn back around.  "You guys seem cool.  There's a party tonight, and it's gonna be filled with celebrities.  You guys are welcomed to come, if you like.  Let me give you the deets."

She takes Lu-an's phone and types until she gives it back.  "See you later......."  Selena says, trailing off because she doesn't know our names.  "Oh, Lu-an."  "And I'm Jasmin."

She smiles.  "See you later, Lu-an and Jasmin."  And with that, her and her bodyguards walk away.

I high five Lu-an, a happy smile on my face.  "We did it!  Not only did she talk to us, but we got a picture with her!  You totally have to send me that.  I can add it to my collection of celebrity photos."  I say.

"Sending it to you right now."  She responds as she smiles.  I look at my phone.  The pic looks perfect!

"Oo, Lu-an, I just had the perfect idea.  What if we make this our thing?  What if we go around L.A. and see what celebrities we find and take a picture with them?  We can even start a YouTube channel."

"Jasmin, you're a genius!  I like that.  It's good to be back in L.A. again."  "Prepare to make multiple trips back here.  I can't believe we got invited to a celebrity party!"

"I'm hoping I see Kehlani.  She's fiiiiiiine as fuck." 

.....

We're at the party of our lives.  Selena wasn't kidding when she said it would be full of celebrities.  In the span of ten minutes, I've seen Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, Tana Mongeau, Logan Paul, Nikita Dragun.  Just to name a few.

Well, there's definitely some influencers here.  I don't know if they qualify as celebrities.

Lu-an and I are looking our best.  "Look over there,"  I tell her.  She looks in the direction I am.  "The Weeknd and other celebs are doing drugs."

"Oh yeah.  Drugs are huge in Celebrity Land."  "Heartless" by The Weeknd comes on, and everyone gets bumpin'.  We dance to the song.

Lu-an's got some moves!  "Alright, Jasmin.  I see you."  She says, hyping me up with a smile and biting her lip. 

I dance on her.  She puts her hands on my hips and dances against me.

.....

We've been dancing for awhile.  Just then, Selena comes up to us.  "There you guys are."  She says with a smile.  "You've been looking for us?"  I inquire, smiling.

"Of course!  I'm not gonna invite you to a party and not look for you."  She giggles.  Another absolute banger comes on, and the three of us dance together along with the crowd.

.....

"I forgot to ask.  Are you two dating?  You seem really cute together."  Selena says to us.  We're sitting at the bar.  Selena takes a sip of the drink she's holding in her hand.

Lu-an and I look at each other before looking back at her.  "We're just best friends.  I'm engaged."

"Oooooooohhhhh.  I am.  So sorry.  I didn't mean to make it weird."  I laugh.  "It's fine, Selena.  You didn't know."  I respond.

Out of nowhere, Demi Lovato pops up next to us.  "A group of us are playing spin the bottle.  The more the merrier."  She says to us.

The three of us follow her.  There's a group of people sitting on the floor.  There's only a few spots left open.  Lu-an sits down next to someone I don't recognize, and I sit down next to Wiz Khalifa.

Tana spins the bottle.  It lands on her and Bella Thorne.  They hesitantly kiss.  RiceGum spins the bottle.  What the hell is RiceGum doing here?  He's not relevant anymore.

It lands on him and some chick.  They kiss, and it looks like he's really enjoying it.

.....

The bottle has been spun so many times.  It's Lu-an's turn now.  She spins the bottle...............and it lands on.........me.

I awkwardly look at her.  She looks at me.  "I, uh, don't wanna play."  I say.  "Aaahhhhh, come onnnnn!"  People say.  "Party pooper!"  Someone responds.

I get up and walk away from the group.  I go outside.  Moments later, Lu-an walks up to me.  "Are you ok?  Why are you out here?"

"I just needed some air."  "What's wrong?"  "I can't kiss you, Lu-an."  "I know.  You can't kiss anyone, for that matter.  By the way, what were you gonna do when it was your turn?"

"I was gonna kiss my hand then put it to someone's cheek."  "Damn, am I not worthy of your hand?"  She jokes with a smile.  I break out into a smile as well.

I throw my arm around her.  "You're worthy of a lot of great things, buddy."  "You wanna bail?"  "Yeeeah.  Let's get out of here."
