Alex's POV

"Hey hey hey who's got you smiling like that." Tobin asks as she walks over to me.

"Is it a secret lover we don't know about?" Sinc asks and I laugh.

"No."

Yes.

"I'm just watching an interview." I say as I raise my phone up for them.

"Of who? Yourself? Weirdo." Tobin say as she shoves my head.

"No of Natalie." I say.

"The singer?" I hear Hayley ask from behind me.

"That's the one." I say.

"I love her music, she's like a huge music producer too so that's like awesome. Happy she finally released some of her own music for once. Deserves the fame and recognition."

"I think you could beat Tobin for the number one fan spot." I say with a chuckle.

"Yeah that's a no, I'm a loyal fan. I'm the number one fan. Isn't that right Al." Tobin says as she looks at me.

"Don't get me roped into this, you two can decide who's the number one fan." I say as I set down my phone and get up to head onto the field.

Natalie's POV

"No one is going to scare me right?" I ask Ellen as I look around my surroundings.

"No of course not, not this time." Ellen says and I smile.

"Great. Cool. Great. Awesome." I say.

"So there was some pictures going around." Ellen says as she looks at me. I look at her confused and she looks at me like I'm dumb. Which I am but I'm currently very confused. "Of you and Hailee Steinfeld."

"I'm not following. I haven't- there's pictures?" I ask.

"Let's take a look at the pictures." Ellen says.

The crowd immediately starts whistling as the pictures come up and I shake my head.

"Pretty good pictures huh?" Ellen asks and I laugh. "Care to explain?"

"We went out for lunch, she was in town and I wanted to catch up with a friend. Nothing else." I say.

"Are we sure nothing else? I feel like she's definitely your type."

"I mean not necessarily? I mean she's beautiful I will admit that but we're friends nothing more." I say as I shift in my seat.

"Uh huh, so what about these pictures?" Ellen asks.

I look at the screen in front of me and the pictures change to pictures of me with Lizzie.

"This was a couple weeks ago, any sign of you two getting back together?"

I laugh nervously as I look at the screen and back at Ellen.

"We are never ever getting back together and I don't mean that in a bad way but Lizzie and I have been friends since before fame. We'd like to keep it that way. We'll always have each other."

"That's sweet but now seeing as you're single, I mean your song gives us hints that you're not but you whispered to me you're single so we're going to play Who'd you rather." Ellen says. "I'm going to try and find you the perfect girlfriend. I'm going to show you two pictures and you're going to choose one or the other."

"Oh god."

"Alright let's starts easy, are you ready for it?" Ellen asks and I lift my arms up.
