Chapter8: Good Girl Goes Bad

Chapter8-Good Girl Goes Bad

April 14th, 2011

 It's a few weeks later. Ever since the photos of Andrew and Brandon kissing surfaced, Andrew came out as bisexual. He and Brandon came out as a couple. The Andrew fans were split. They wanted him to stay with Alyson, whereas others were turned on by him playing both sides. On top of that, he gained a bunch of new fans.

 But the group most worried were 7th Anthem's PR people and marketing team. They knew Andyson was one of the most popular, and the most banked-on, couple in the teen music industry. After Andrew came out, there was a lot of money on the line. They tried to convince him and Alyson to get back together, but Alyson refused. Andrew was heartbroken to hear her say that. But they both agreed that they don't want to be money-making machines. Knowing how persuasive the two were, they backed away.

 In the meantime, Melissa was on her office computer, looking at recent photos of Brandrew (Brandon/Andrew). She gave a half-satisfied smile. She knew that Andrew was bi, which meant that he'll very likely go back with Alyson. But at the moment, he's gay for Brandon.

 Just then, Ethan entered her office. She saw him, and asked, "Don't you have a tour with The OutLaws?"

 He replied, "We wrapped it up in January, remember? We have a recording session this afternoon for our second album."

 "That's right. I forgot."

 "Anyway, we need to talk about what our next step is."

 "Well, we can't make Andrew gay. He may not show it now, but he's still in love with her. But for now, let's enjoy his moment with his first boyfriend."

 "So which couple do we break up next?"

 "Bailstin. They're now the most popular couple of that band."

 Ethan sat down on a chair, and thought for a moment. Then he asked, "What can we do to break them up?"

 "Well, here's what I know about Justin. He used to date Alyson. She would gush about dating a British guy, as she was a big S Club 8 fan then. But he seemed mysterious. I mean, he's nice, but he's very much kept to himself."

 "I know. Justin is not a very open person. He wasn't a jerk like Andrew, but you couldn't quite figure him out."

 "Now Bailey is a different story. Me and Alyson met her at a church when they were both 4. It turned out they were from the same area. Bailey is a very nice, sweet person. She was always there for her best friend. Of course, she would get tired of hearing Alyson gushing over Andrew. She didn't even like being popular. But what are best friends for?"

 Ethan then started thinking again, and asked, "So you could say that Bailey is a good girl? And that Justin might be a bad boy?"

 Melissa gave a sly smile as she said, "I never thought of them like that. So we need to expose Justin, and shatter Bailey's image."

 It's about an hour later. 7A just finished a photo shoot for their up-coming album, The Anthem. As they were getting ready to leave the studio, they were met with Melissa. Alyson approached her, and asked angrily, "What the f*ck are you doing here? Checking to see if I'm heartbroken over Hawthorne? Well, guess what? I'm fine!"

 Andrew rolled his eyes. Melissa ignored him, and said, "I'm not here for you, bitch. I'm here for Bailey."

 Bailey was surprised. She asked, "Why me?"

 "I just need to talk to you."

 Bailey nodded her head, and they both went to a dressing room. Alyson said bitterly, "Why does that bitch need to talk to my bestie?"
