Joel's P.O.V.

I was really close to Valerie at this point. Everything about her is just perfect. She's absolutely gorgeous. Before I knew it I kissed her. She seemed surprised as so was I. She began to kiss back. I could stay like this for a while. She backed up and looked at me. Valerie: "I'm sorry I should really get going now." She gave me a small smile. Did I just really mess up things between the two of us? Yes, I think I did. Joel: "I'm sorry I didn't mean to." Valerie: "No, it's fine but I should really get going." I tried reading her face expression but there wasn't any. I followed her to the door. Joel: "Umm... I'll call you or text you later." Valerie: "Uh.. Yeah sure. Bye." Joel: "Bye." She walked away and I closed the door. I walked back to sit on the couch. What a move huh? I'm such an idiot. Yoandri walked in and interrupted my thoughts. Yoandri: "Hey! Where's Valerie and Monica?" Joel: "They left." Yoandri: "What's wrong?" Joel: "I kissed Valerie." Yoandri: "YES! I KNEW YOU HAD IT IN YOU!" He must have noticed something was bothering me because he sat down next to me and frowned a bit. Yoandri: "I mean what happened? Did you not like the kiss?" Joel: "Not like the kiss? Dude I loved the kiss but I think she didn't. I think I just made things awkward between us. When I kissed her I wasn't even thinking." Yoandir: "Joel I'm going to be honest I've seen how she looks at you. It's clear that she likes you and you never know she may have liked the kiss as much as you did." Joel: "I don't know Yoandri. She may not."

One week later...

For the past few days I've been trying to contact Valerie. She wouldn't answer my calls or texts. I really messed up. Maybe she didn't feel the same way. Maybe she hates me now. I haven't seen or heard about her in a week. Yoandri and I have been really busy lately and the fact that tomorrow is the last day of La Banda is nerve wrecking. We have been working really hard and I'm just glad that we have made it this far. On our way to rehearsals I spotted Monica in the lobby. Joel: "Hey Monica!" I walked up to her. Monica: "Hey Joel!" Joel: "Do you by any chance know how Valerie is doing?" Monica: "She's good just busy." Joel: "Oh okay I was just wondering since I've been trying to reach her." Monica: "Yeah, she's good like I said she just has been working a lot this week and she doesn't want to get distracted. Trust me when I tell you that she gets easily distracted." So now I'm just a distraction. She noticed what she said. Monica: "Not that you are a distraction she just wants to get work done. She has also distanced herself from me a bit but I know how hard she is working. But I'll tell her you said hi?" Joel: "Okay and yeah if you could do that for me I'll appreciate it." Monica: "Yeah, I will. Well I got to get going, see you around. Bye." Joel: "Bye" Hmm... maybe after all she may not hate me.

Last day of La Banda

Today was the day we all found out who was a part of the band. The first one to make it in was Christopher, the second one was Richard and guess who was the third one? You guessed it it was me! The fourth one was Erick. For the fifth member it was between Yoandri and Zabdiel. Zabdiel won. I was heartbroken but at the same time happy that Zabdiel made it in. Yoandri was my best friend, he helped me out a lot. We basically were like brothers. After the final member was announced we went to commercials. I went running up to Yoandri hugging him. Joel: "Yoandri I know you have a big bright future ahead of you and I'll be here to support you." Yoandri: "Thank you and I'll also be here to support you too!" We got ready to preform as a band and were on stage. Alejandra announced our band name which was CNCO. We didn't know the band name. We started to preform one of our songs "Devuélveme mi corazón" and I was looking out in the crowd. I saw her. She was here. Valerie was here and she was smiling. We made eye contact and smiled. My day couldn't have gotten any better. But wait why was she here? It made no sense. Unless she just wanted to support us. Who knows but I do hope I have time to talk to her. After the show we were rushed into interviews and I didn't get to see her. But I did see when she quickly got up and left once the show was done. Maybe she didn't want to talk after all. I really want to speak to her but it'll all depend on how busy I am.
