Hollywood U

Chapter 1

~Matt~

I got out of the car and stepped on to the grass. I was at Hollywood U. The place was tiny. There was a few classrooms, 3 dorms, and an admissions office. All of it was on a few small plots of land. I grabbed my bags and dropped them on the ground.

I locked the car behind me. The place was deserted. I was here to be a director and was hoping I could learn here but it seemed like that wasn't going to happen. I started walking to the admissions office. I got there and the secretary was sitting at the desk.

"Hello," she said. "You must be Matthew."

"That's me. Matt Adams."

"Yes, you're our second enrolled student."

"Only two kids go here?"

"Yes. We accept directors, movie stars, and fashionistas. Let me know if you find any."

"I'm sorry, what?"

"We don't have many students. You should see if you can get any. It's May right now. Kids are gonna be getting out of high school. We'll need your help getting the kids here."

"Just me?"

"Well, no. You and the first person enrolled."

"Who's that?"

~Ally~

I unloaded my bags and put them on the bed in the large fashionista dorm. I had my own room because there was no one here. I was the only one that I knew of. I looked out the window and saw a kid with blond hair walk out of the admissions office and go to the directors dorm.

I moved my hands through my wavy blond hair and adjusted my scarf. I left the dorm and headed over to the directors dorm. I wanted to meet this boy if we were recruiting together. The reason we were here in May was because we were smart enough to finish school a month early and decided to come here to help us become stars.

I entered the dorm which had a large common room and then two different hallways that branched off. All the doors were closed except one. I walked to the open door and lightly tapped the wall.

"Hello?" I said.

"Come in," said the deep voice. I walked in and saw the boy putting things in a drawer. He looked at me and gave me a half smile. "Kind of a dump, huh." He said.

"Yeah," I said chuckling.

"So we have to recruit the kids?" He said.

"I guess so," I said. I held out my hand. "Allison James. Fashionista."

He shook it. "Matthew Adams," he said.

"Can I call you Matt?"

"If I can call you Ally," he said still putting things away. I preferred Allison but I just accepted.

"Fine," she said. "So what should we do to lure in the kids?"

"Well," he said, "We have a director and a fashionista. We could use an actor. Maybe expand what we teach here."

"Where do we get an actor?" I asked. He shut the last drawer.

"Spring productions. Would you care to join me for a few performances?"

"I'd love to," I said. We left the directors dorm and got in his car and then drove off through L.A. high schools looking at performance dates. It was a Friday so we could see two plays tonight and then three on Saturday.

~Matt~

Ally is gorgeous. Her hair is amazing and her body is fantastic. She has a great personality and beautiful eyes. I love this school. Anyway, we got tickets to the two plays. One at 5 and another at 8 in a school down the road. We handed brochures to our two favorite actors in each performance. Our favorite by far was a girl named Alexis. A pretty girl with long brown hair that was a fantastic actor.

We told her that she could enroll anytime over the summer and we'd be happy to have her. On Saturday there was a matinee performance at 2 then one at 5 and then at 8. We did the same actor rule and this time gave a brochure to a student director named Laura.

We got back to the campus, tired after our second day. We went to the admissions center and told them our progress. Ally asked for a clothing store on campus to bring in fashionistas. Apparently we have a lot of money in our budget so it wouldn't be hard. I went to sleep that night in the directors dorm and woke up to the sound of new students pulling into the campus.
