"So what's on todays schedule?" I smiled, whilst tucking into a bowl of cereal.

The night before, i'd hit 100,000 views on my first video (which was amazing), so i decided to upload another one to say thanks. This time i sung 'U Smile', which is one of Justin's songs, and immediatley after posting, it started getting loads of views and comments. It was unbelieveable. I loved watching the views tot up and reading all the comments.

I mean some people were negative and sometimes mean, but i soon learned to ignore them. Not everybody is always going to like you.

"Today, you're going to the studio." Scooter replied.

My eyes lit up. "Really?!"

"Mhm. Usher is meeting you there at 10." He confirmed.

My Mom put down her spoon and got up from the table. "Are you writing?"

"Yeah."

"Yeah i think so. Usher want's to work on some ideas with her." He nodded. He glanced down at his watch. "Ri go get ready, you need to be there soon."

I rushed off upstairs, doing as i was told, and in less than an hour, i was t the studio. I dressed in a cute skirt, blouse and a pair of heels, all which i had bought whilst shopping with Scooter, and i loved my outfit. It was so fashionable!
When i got there, i parked up to my uncles Mercedes-Benz (which he has let me borrow) and made my way into the studio.

I wrote. I mean i'd been writing songs for as long as i could remember, but i was way too shy to share my songs. For a moment, i thought about taking my songbook to show Usher, but then i didn't. I chickened out. I needed more confidence and experience before i did that.

I walked up to the front desk where Lauren, the receptionist who'd id spoken to so many times during the summer, was sat typing away on her computer. I hadn't seen her since the end of summer break.

"Hey." I smiled, shifting my weight onto one foot. I looked at her.

"Morning." She replied. She glanced up at me briefly then back down to the screen of her computer. "Can i help you?"

I tried not to laugh, she hadn't recognised me. I guess i did look totally different..

I smirked and took off my sunglasses. "Lauren, its me."

She flickered her eyes back to me and then her jaw dropped. "OH MY GOD. ARIANA?!" She jumped up out of her chair and ran around the desk to hug me. "You have changed so much! Oh my god you look amazing. The hair! I love it."

"Aha thankyou." I blushed. "It's my new look."

"You are so beautiful." She squealed. "And a lil birdie told me you got signed. Congratulations! I didn't even know you sung!"

"Aha thanks, not many people did." I giggled.

"But boy do we now! I saw your videos, gurl you have one heck of a voice! You're going to be a star."

I smiled at her.

"I mean it." She beamed. "Are you here for Usher?"

"Yeah, is he here already? I was supposed to meet him at 10?"

"He got here about 15 minutes ago." She winked. "Studio 7."

I waved goodbye to her then walked down the hallway to room 7. I pushed open the door to see Usher sat on one of the chairs texting.

I blushed shyly. "Hey. Sorry am i late?"

"Oh hey Ri. Nope, you're good." He smiled. I took a seat next to him. "Wow cool hair. You look great."
