"why is olivia the only nice, sweet, nice girl at the palm woods?" kendall asked as he sat down on the chair with logan and james. carlos had gotten shoved in the pool after getting pushed in by the sims twins.

"yeah, she's not stuck up or crazy," james agreed and looked at the blonde singer, who was sitting a few tables away from them. "and she's really hot."

carlos surfaced and saw olivia, before gasping.

"now's my chance," he said, before climbing out and rushing over to her.

"olivia," he called and said girl looked at him with a bright smile.

"hi carlos!" she greeted, lowering her guitar as he sat down. "oh, why are you wet?"

"oh, uh, i got shoved into the pool by the sims twins," he chuckled and olivia nodded.

"got their names mixed up?" olivia asked and he nodded with an embarrassed look.

"yeah..."

"that's okay, it happens," olivia told him and carlos sat down next to her.

"what you, uh, working on?" carlos asked olivia as he grabbed a towel nearby and began to dry himself off.

olivia saw carlos's hair get ruffled and her cheeks turned pink when she saw how good he looked.

"oh, uh, just something for my album," she told him.

"can i have a listen?" he asked her with a smile and olivia couldn't deny him.

"just a little," she said before adjusting her guitar and playing a few notes.

"We are young, we are gold
Trying things we didn't know
Looking at the sky
See it come alive
All our fears became our hopes
Climbed out every locked window
We rode a lion's mane
And fell upon the rain"

olivia finished the verse and carlos was amazed at her talent.

"wow..."

"it's the last song i need to write, but i'm having trouble finishing it," olivia told him.

"i can help!" he blurted out and cleared his throat.

"have you ever written a song before?" olivia asked him and he shook his head.

"no, gustavo writes our songs," he chuckled nervously. "but it doesn't hurt to try."

"true, very true," she smiled. "maybe we can write some lyrics later today? i need to record a few songs today but after that i'm free to write. also, my dad won't be home so it's better that way."

"is your dad that strict?" carlos asked.

"yes," she nodded. "he's in charge of everything i do. i'm barely able to be friends with you and your band."

"that's horrible," carlos remarked. "you should be able to do what you want."

"i wish," she sighed. "but it's what i gotta do to be the artist i wanna be."

carlos nodded, feeling bad for her.

"don't feel bad for me, it's okay," olivia assured him. "well, i need to go record. text me later when you wanna come over to work on my song, okay?"

carlos nodded as they both stood up and olivia smiled.

"thanks for the help," she told him, before leaning up and kissing his cheek.

carlos became frozen at her kiss and his entire face flushed bright red.

"bye, carlos," she giggled, before walking away from him.

carlos then smiled with a sigh, before falling back into the pool again.

~few hours later~

olivia was outside at the pool, hanging out with the new girl, jo taylor. her and jo had become super close in the past few hours and olivia was beyond happy to have a friend like her. carlos, logan, and kendall were hiding behind bush wearing bush hats, and watching both girls.

"logan, what's the intel?" kendall asked and logan pulled up a cosmopolin magazine.

"well, according to your mom's cosmopolin magazine," logan began. "75% of the female population is attracted to the bad boy type."

carlos eyes grew, "i call the bad boy type!"

he ducked his head and popped up wearing bad boy clothes and sunglasses.

"dude, we've established that olivia doesn't like bad boys," kendall reminded him.

"it won't matter because 100% of the female population is attracted to men with british accents," logan informed them.

"but none of us are british," kendall reasoned.

"speak for yourself, governor," logan spoke in a british accent.

"what are you gonna go with kendall?" carlos asked kendall.

"60% like the steamy fireman, 40% like the brooding loner, and 0.7% like the jolly pastry chef," logan informed the guys, reading the magazine again. the three looked over and saw bitters stirring mix in a bowl while wearing chef clothes.

"how long will you be staying at the palm woods?" bitters asked the woman he was trying to flirt with.

"oh, and 10% like the goofy, caring type," logan added and carlos felt himself smile. "seems like olivia likes that type."

carlos removed his sunglasses and sighed, looking at olivia.

"i hope so."

"i'm gonna be myself," kendall smiled and the two boys laughed at him.

"that never works," both boys told him in a british accent and kendall rolled his eyes.

——

olivia was sat in her apartment, reading a magazine and watching tv when she heard a knock on her door. she got up and walked over to answer it. she was glad her dad wasn't home, because who knows who it could be.

she opened it to reveal carlos dressed in bad boy clothes and sunglasses. she looked past the clothes and smiled.

"carlos!" she greeted, "nice to see you. you didn't text me about wanting to write songs.

he shrugged and lean against the door, "just thought i'd pop by and uh, check out how the hottest girl in palm woods is doing."

olivia blushed with a chuckle, "oh, uh, thanks? to be honest, i'm not a fan of being called hot."

carlos took note of that and walked inside the place, moving past olivia, who gave him a look.

"you okay?" she asked as she shut the door and watched carlos act like a bad boy.

"yeah, babe, why wouldn't i be?" he chuckled with a smirk and olivia shifted uncomfortable at his behavior.

"because this isn't you," she said and carlos tilted his head in confusion.

"of course this is me, carlos, the bad boy."

"no, you're carlos, the caring, goofy guy that i... like," olivia softly admitted with a soft smile and carlos stumbled over his feet, doing a double take at her words.

"you-you what?" he asked her and olivia sighed, going up to him and removing his sunglasses.

"carlos, why are you doing this?" she asked him and carlos hesitated for a moment, before sitting on her couch and she slowly sat next to him.

"look, i read in a cosmopolin magazine that most girls like bad boys and i thought that maybe if i acted like one, you would be interested in me?" he informed her and olivia giggled.

"but i told you i don't like bad boys," she reasoned. "i just don't see the hype with them. i personally want a guy who's caring, kind, and isn't afraid to show a girl how he feels about her."

carlos seemed relieved and over the moon at her dream guy.

"i agree, i want a girl exactly like that," carlos agreed and the two teens blushed with a smile.

"so, uh, you did this because you... like me?" olivia asked with a warm smile and carlos slowly nodded.

"i do," he admitted and olivia's smile grew with butterflies entering her stomach. "since the first day i met you, i thought you were the most beautiful girl and wanted to get to know you better."

"well, i think you achieved that because we've become pretty close friends in the last two months and i'm really happy we did," olivia remarked and carlos nodded.

"me too.. and i was hoping we could be more then friends?" carlos asked, slowly moving his hand to touch hers and she smiled at this.

"i would like that," she said and carlos smiled. "but... my dad wouldn't allow it."

carlos's smile faded and he pulled his hand away with sorrow.

"oh..."

"i'm sorry, i'm supposed to be dating this actor, but i really don't like him, so i don't know what to do. if he ever found out, my whole career would be over," she explained and carlos took her knee.

"it's okay, i understand, i've seen your dad and i wouldn't want to get on his bad side either," carlos remarked and olivia nodded with a chuckle.

"i wouldn't, cause he could end yours too," she told him and carlos get really nervous. "he won't, because i won't let him."

"i won't let him end yours either," carlos softly told her and took her hand. "i'm okay if we can't date yet, i'm just glad you feel the same."

olivia blushed, "me too and we'll make this work. i want too."

"me too," carlos agreed before olivia leaned her head against his and carlos smiled down at her, feeling his heart rate increase.

he couldn't believe olivia fernow likes him
back, he was so happy. he just needed to get passed her dad and everything will be perfect. however, it won't be so easy for him and will need to face consequences and the unfortunate reality of fame.

~later~

jo, camille, and olivia were at the pool, hanging and talking when james approached the three. the girls looked up and saw james entire body swollen and full of hives.

"hello," he greeted, unaware of his appearance and the girls yelled in shock. "not the reaction i usually get. but i'm james, i'm in a band."

camille and olivia shared a look as jo greeted him.

"hi, i'm jo," she introduced, feeling uncomfortable but kept her smile. "it's... so nice to meet you."

"hey, i was thinking maybe we could see a movie later on- ACHOO!" james suggested, but sneezed in the middle of his sentence.

"don't you think you should see a doctor first?" jo suggested.

"oh, because of my sneezing, right?" james asked as he wiped his nose, but froze when he saw his giant, swollen hands and panicked at the sight.

"AHHHH!" he yelled. "what happened to my hands?!"

jo sniffed him, "are you wearing barracuda man spray?"

"yeah!" he cried out and turned around to face the invisible camera, holding the spray. "better wear your cuda."

"you do know that stuff was recalled for causing a severe allergic reactions, right?" camille informed him, before handing him a mirror.

james took the mirror and yelled when he saw his appearance. he dropped the mirror and walked off in a panicked, still trying to strut his way across the poolside.

——

camille, jo, and olivia ran out onto jo's balcony after kendall and logan had stopped fighting over her with a song. jo told the boys she has a boyfriend, but she actually doesn't and lied to to them.

"uh, you told us you didn't have a boyfriend?" camille asked jo.

"uh, i don't, but i can't deal with that everyday," jo reasoned, seeing kendall, carlos, and logan trying to get gustavo off the floor.

"boys are stupid," camille laughed, before looking at the other two. "remember, logan's mine."

"and carlos is mine," olivia added. "so, have fun with kendall or james."

"got it," jo said.

~rocque records~

(james, carlos)
Here I am
There you are
Why does it seem so far
Next to you is where I should be (where I wanna be)
Something I
Want so bad
Know what's inside your head
Maybe I could see what you see (tell me what you see)

(logan)
I gotta keep on believing
That everything takes time
I'll make up any reason
To make you mine
If you're staying or leaving
I'll follow your lead
So why keep pretending
Open your eyes
I can be what you need

(all, logan)
Any kind of guy you want, girl
That's the guy I'll be
Turn myself upside down (yes I will, yes I will)
Any kind of guy you want, girl
You know I'll agree
Turn your whole world around (yes I will, yes I will)
Any kind, any kind
Any kind of guy you want
You decide
Change your mind
I will be there
Won't you try
One more try
Be my any kind of girl
You decide
It's all right
I will be there

(kendall, logan, james, carlos, james and logan)
Let me know if I'm getting through
Making you understand
If it's wrong I'll try something new
Don't look away
'Cause I'm here to stay
If it's a game
Then I'm gonna play

(all, logan)
Any kind of guy you want, girl
That's the guy I'll be (that's the guy I'll be)
Turn myself upside down (yes I will, yes I will)
Any kind, any kind
Any kind of guy you want
You decide
Change your mind
I will be there

Up Next: big time break

skipping big time mansion and big time photo shoot because it wouldn't make a lot of sense for olivia to join the boys for these ones, so, just gonna skip ahead and go to big time break. also i'm sorry if the song at the end is not correct with who's singing what, it's hard to tell in the last verse haha :)

carlos and olivia admitted their feelings to each other, but can't date cuz of olivia's dad. it's unfortunate but the reality of the world of fame. this will be the main thing that keep them apart, but their love for each other will bring them together. a chapter will be written for olivia's album release, idk when but it will be soon.

i'm excited to write drama for olivia, her dad, and carlos i never do this with relationships. i usually like it being smooth and simple, but not with this one. real life romeo and juliet, but without the death part haha.

see ya in the next chapter!
