How Lovely { Johann Vera }

Chapter 2

"Here we are." My mother claimed while we parked our car in an assigned parking space behind the studio.
"Great." Joel sighed, attempting to contain his nervous emotions aside. 
"Joelito don't be nervous. Just don't make a fool of yourself on live television and you'll be fine." I patted him on the back and stepped out of the car. "Liz!" I heard him exclaim from behind me and I just chuckled, walking behind my mom towards the entrance of the studio.

We made our way to the waiting room and there was already a bunch of other teenage boys practicing their songs and receiving pep talks from their families.
"Ustedes arréglense aquí. I'm going to find out more information." Our mom said to us before heading over to the workers and starting conversation.

"You have some good-looking competition, Joelito." I looked around the room and noticed that the guys here weren't half as bad as I thought they would be.
Joel didn't answer me and I realized he had already started a conversation with one of the guys, leaving me to my own thoughts.

"Confía en ti, Sebastian. If it doesn't work out now, siempre habrá otra oportunidad." I turned to see one of the guys talking to his mom.

"Lo sé, mami. But you know how much I want this. I want to make you proud." He responded and my heart throbbed.

She hugged him. "I'm already proud of you, hijo. Te amo."

"Yo más."

The mom got up and made her way over to the receptionist.

"Aw." I muttered.

I'm guessing Sebastian had heard me considering he turned his head and gave me a bright smile. Damn. He's very attractive to say the least.

"Hi," He greeted standing up. He was a few inches taller than me and I'd say I was pretty tall for a 16 year old.

"Hi." I said back while my mind pointed out how adorable this guy's dimpled smile was.

"I'm Sebastian. It's nice to meet you. You're really pretty." After he said that last part he quickly shut his eyes and face palmed himself. I laughed and felt my cheeks heat up, I already knew I was blushing.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean-" he began to apologize but I cut him off before he could finish. "no no it's fine. Thank you, I suppose." I smiled and looked back up at him.

"I'm Elizabeth."

"Elizabeth. I like it." He looked back up at me and we locked our eyes for what felt like the longest time before my brother's voice snapped me out of my trance.

"Joel Pimentel. I'm her brother." He extended his hand out for Sebastian to shake. I'm already expecting him to question me about this whole thing later.

"Sebastian Rivera." He replied.

"Well I'm glad we all got to know each other here. Elizabeth, if you wouldn't mind? Mom's calling us." Joel said making it sound more like a statement instead of a question.

"Of course." I sighed and turned back to Sebastian. "It was really nice meeting you, good luck out there. I'll be cheering." I gave him one last smile and I could feel Joel's eyes piercing between the two of us.

Before Sebastian even got to reply, Joel was dragging me back through the big crowd of people.

"Where's mom?" I asked him once we we were clear of the crowd.

"I don't know," he blankly replied shrugging his shoulders.

"What do you mean you don't know? You just said th-"

"I lied. Who's the new guy?"

Of course. Every time I talk to a boy or even acknowledge one he gets like this. Annoying sin causa.

"Sebastian Rivera."

"I know his name is Sebastian Rivera. But why were you talking to him?"

"I'm a social person." I stared at my twin brother dead in the eyes struggling not to break down in laughter.

He broke from my stare and shook his head. "I'm not going to get on your case, Elizabeth. Not right now. Just don't do anything stupid."

Well he gave up easily. "No worries, Joelito. Just because we look the same doesn't mean we act the same too." I smirked and he rolled his eyes before disappearing back into the crowd of people to practice his song.

This should be fun.
