Regina's Darkness

Six

"And that's a Wrap!" The video director calls out. Everyone cheers in celebration for Bruno's new music video for his hit song. All except me that is. We've been shooting this video for three days. I'm glad its over and I can go back to school.

"Regina!" I tense at the voice of the well know celebrity and plaster the best smile on my face. He flashes me his cute little grin and holds out his hand. "It was great working with you. I had no idea that you were so talented."

"Yeah well." I shrug and brush off the compliment. "I mean, I'm okay."

"You're more than just okay." He compliments some more, forcing a deep blush to creep up my cheeks. I mean, it's so hard not to freak out when an icon is literally telling you they think you are great!

"Listen, I'd love to have you open up some shows in a few cities. You definitely are a star and starting off putting your name across the states is a big start."

"You're joking!"

"Nah! I'm serious, my manager will keep in touch with the details. The tour starts in a few weeks."

"Thank you so much. It's an honor."

     Bruno Mars want me to tour with him! This is like the happiest moment of my life! As soon as he's far enough away, I squeal and whip around towards my manager. She smiles happily with me and pulls me in for a hug.

     "You're going to be a sensational icon soon! I can feel it!"

"Me too!"

        "Alright, let's fly you back to Cali. You have a big day tomorrow. Don't forget you have the photo shoot to be on the magazine cover of Teen Spirit and then a few interviews."

"Okay," I nod professionally as she hands me the schedule for tomorrow. Just as I was about to ask something, she opens her mouth.

       "Also, in a few days or so, we'll be dropping your second single. We decided to switch out Dear No One with Fighter. I think fighter will definitely put you in the spot light."

"Cool," I nod in agreement. I have maybe two or three rock style songs on my album completely inspired by my father. Fighter is probably the best choice and would get me alot of attention for sure. "Um, do you know when I'll be back at school?"

         "Ohh," Katherine seethes through her teeth and goes deep into thinking. "I know you want to graduate at the very least love. How about this? I'll make sure all of next week is cleared up and you van go and play catch up. That way you can sing at your Homecoming as well."

"That's perfect, thanks."

While in the limo, I let Kate know about the good news on the way to the airport. That turned into a whole entire group call with she, Bridget, Kate, China, and I but no Emma. Of course there's no Emma. She's not exactly apart of our clique; not yet anyways.

The plane ride was the first time I've actually gotten good sleep in a while. As soon as I landed, my day began. It was morning and entailed with the rapid life bustle of a semi famous star. Well, here in Cali, I'm far from famous. I'm even seen as the queen of L.A. Everyone relishes in my fashion sense, my smile. Everywhere I go there's always paparazzi, just like now as I head into a studio.

"Regina! So excited to meet you!" I woman beams towards me as I attempt to catch my breath. Fighting through a crowd of desperate people is the absolute worse.

"It's a pleasure," I express as kindly as I can. I know she's in charge of everything happening right now as far as fashion and what not but I can't help but roll my eyes when I turn away.
