Star's POV

My heart was racing as I pulled up to the Label. My hands were shaky, and I felt lightheaded. On the outside, I looked calm and collected, but on the inside, I'm freaking out! Ronnie decided to tag along, which I didn't mind at all. The building looked like any other building: big and it had the look of, "Richer than you."

I took a deep breath, grabbed onto Ronnie's hand, and walked inside. I was greeted by a pretty girl behind a desk.

"Hello! Are you Star?" she asked with a slight accent. I don't know what specific accent, but it didn't sound like Ronnie's voice.

I didn't answer right away, mainly because I was now thinking about Ronnie. Ronnie nudged me, so I snapped out of my thoughts.

"Parden?" I asked, embarrassed.

"Are you Star?" she asked sounding annoyed.

"Um, yeah. Do you know where Richards' office is? I'm supposed to meet him in 5."

"Yes ma'am. Follow me." she said, standing up.

Ronnie and I followed the girl until we were at a huge, white door. Ronnie turned to me, "Are you ready to become number one?"

I laughed, "What if I don't become number one?"

He shrugged, "You'll always be number one to me."

A blush crept upon my face. Ronnie and I weren't dating, but I definitely did like him. We always make flirty jokes and we've been going on "friendly dates" as he puts it. I think he likes me, but I can't make assumptions.

"Star?"

I looked up and saw Ronnie staring at me questionably.

"You ok?" he asked.

"More than ok." I smiled.

Ronnie knocked on the door and I could faintly hear someone say, "come in."

We walked into the room and were greeted by Richard and Tom.

"Hey, Star! Thanks for calling us back! We're glad you agreed." Richard smiled while hugging me.

"No problem. I really love music and performing, so it's an opportunity I can't pass up."

"That it is! Anyway, to get some publicity started, we were thinking about showing some of your older stuff. Is that ok?"

I gulped, "I don't really want people to know about my older stuff. I kind of want to start over. I love the challenge of starting from the beginning and working myself up to the top. What's the fun of just being there, you know?"

Richard and Tom whispered to each other for a second and I became a little self-conscious.

"Very well," Tom finally spoke, "How about we do a stage name for you?"

I smiled, "That's what I was thinking of. Something bold and new."

"Sounds good. Now the stump, what should it be?" Richard asked, "I was thinking something like, Star Alexa."

It was a pretty name, but it'd be too close to my real name.

"Ah, you're right." he said.

Whoa. I said that out loud?

Ronnie snickered, "How about Miss Anonymous?"

We all thought about the name, and I had to admit, it was amazing!
