The Bully Affect

Movie audition?

>Katie's POV<

         Before we left L.A. Drew gave me his number and told me to text him later. It is now Tuesday and we have barely stopped texting each other. I still get hate mail from a few of the popular girls at school who claim 'I am stealing there spotlight.' Trevor started up a rumor about the two of us though. Since I wasn't home and nobody saw me he told everyone that I stole my dads boat and went to sea with him. He told everyone that it was my idea and I brought drugs, liquor, and condoms. So now everyone is saying that I did the nasty with him ALL weekend. Ew! No! I would never do that with him. So now every guy thinks they can get in my pants. I'll be walking down the hall and they will slap my ass, whistle, or try and grab my boobs. It is really pissing me off. I told Drew last night when he called me and he sounded pissed.

        Right now I am sitting at lunch with Lizzy and a few other girls texting him. We are sitting at a table on the lawn in front of the school. He texts me and asks if I am in class.
        'no, im sitting out front of school having lunch with a few friends' I text back. Then Trevor comes and sits beside me, slamming his tray onto the table.
        "Hay sexy." He says kissing the side of my neck. He nips my neck as a motorcycle rips into the parking lot leaving skid marks. The guy jumps of the bike and pulls his helmet off to reveal Drew.
        He walks up to the end of the table and stares at Trevor. "This the asshole that started those rumors about you?" He asks.
        I nod my head yes and jump up when he starts to walk closer to hit Trevor. I press myself against his chest to push him back. "Don't babe, he isn't worth your time. Lets go, you don't need to be getting in a fight."
        "You want to come with me for a little bit? Just to get away from this hell hole they stuck you in." He asks, a small smile playing on his lips.
        "Sure." Butterflies dance in my stomach as I grab my bag and walk to his bike.
        Before we get on he turns around and yells at them, "By the way, she was in L.A. last weekend auditioning for a part in a movie." We both get on the bike and he gives me his helmet. "You ready to get out of here?"
        I wrap my arms around him tighter as we leave. We arrive in front of a restaurant a few towns over and he leads me inside. Inside the lights are dim and it has a nice romantic feel to it. We are seated at a table for two in a corner and given our menus. "So why did you tell them I tried out for a part in a movie?" I ask, taking a sip of the iced tea I ordered.
        "Well, you were in L.A. last weekend and you are going to try out for a part in a film so it wasn't a lie." He says, taking a drink of his Coke and avoiding eye contact.
        "What do you mean I am trying out for a part in a movie?" I demand in a hushed whisper as to not interrupt the few others that are here.
        "I am playing a role in a film for a friend and in the film my character has to hook up with a girl. Its more then just one kiss though so I wanted it to be with a girl I actually know and like, not just some random. I was hoping you would take the part. It is an important character you would be playing though." He looks at me pleadingly.
        I cant believe he wants ME, of all people, to do this. I have no acting experience and I have no idea what the movie is about. When he says 'hook up' does he just mean date, kiss, and do some small stuff or does he mean we pretend to do the nasty? So many thoughts run through my head as I look at him as if he is mad. His eyes are pleading though and I cant lose the opportunity to spend time with him. "When is the audition?" I finally say.
        "It is tonight at the hotel we are staying at. Thank you so much Katie, you are going to be perfect for the part." He smiles at me and my stomach flips a few times in worry.
        We order our food not long after, I get a chicken ceaser salad and he gets a steak cooked medium rare with mashed potatoes and steamed vegies. We eat and talk about little things and I cant help but to feel like I belong here with him. After almost two hours of joking around, sipping our drinks, and sharing a few kisses he pays and we go to his hotel.
        When we get there I check my phone and see I have a text from Jonathan. 'Where are you?' We have 6th hour together so he is referring to my not being there. 'Drew got me... don't wait up after school ttyl'
        The hotel room is nice and big, it even has a balcony. When I look at Drew he is taking off his leather jacket and unbuttoning the top two buttons on his black shirt. He kicks his shoes off then lays on the bed. I sit at the end of the bed, legs tucked under me, arms at my side to keep me from falling off. He stares at me with his bluish gray eyes as if questioning what I am going to do.
        "So, what exactly is the movie about?" I ask, kicking my shoes onto the floor behind me.
        "Its about these friends who go to a party on a boat. There is alcohol, drugs, the normal teenage party. The cops show up and some of the friends use a raft to get away without the cops noticing. They are to drunk to know where they are going though and all end up stranded on an island together. Its my character with 3 other guys, my sister, my friends, girlfriend, some other girl, and you, who none of us know."
        I role forward so I am on my knees with my hands in front of me and I slowly start to move forward. "When you said we hook up, what exactly did you mean by that?" My hands are on either side of him on the pillows he is leaning back on. My knees are on both sides of his hips so I am directly over him.
        "Well, we don't have exact plans for it. We were going to kind of play it by ear. I guess we can go as far as you want to though." He lifts his head up slightly so his lips barely touch mine. I push my lips harder onto his and he puts his hands on my waist pulling me down so I am laying on him.
        I then hear a door open. "Whoa, dude, at least let me know you are going to get with some girl first so I'm not walking in." I hear a male voice say.
        I pull away and look at the guy (picture to the right) who has a slight British accent. "First, we were not getting it on. Second, we were just kissing and there is nothing wrong with that." I say, looking straight at the guy. I was still straddling Drew though so it wasn't helping my case. I get off of him and walk over to the unknown man. "I'm Katie by the way, not some girl."
        Drew walks over and wraps his arms around my waist while standing behind me. "Katie, this is Terence, my friend that I am doing the movie with. Terence, this is Katie, the girl that I was going to have audition for the part of the girl I get with."
        "You obviously have the chemistry but you still need to audition love. You have a good chance though, looks, style, nice voice, and he likes you. Its hard to find someone he approves of. Well I have to go get a few things. You want anything love? Coffee, condoms, contraception, food?"
        "No thank you, I don't need any of that. I'll see you later." I say laughing a little bit.

             *few hours later*

        I sit in a crowd of about a hundred other people as Terence calls out who got what parts. "James, you got the part you wanted. Abby, you will play the 15 year old sister. Katie, you get the part you wanted..."
        I squeal and run to Drew after he is done. "Oh my god! I am going to be in a movie! Thank you so much Drew!" I wrap my arms around his neck and give him a deep kiss.
        "I knew you could do it." He says once I pull away. We are both smiling like crazy.
