Airika's P.O.V

"AIRIKA, AIRIKA WAKE UP PLEASE, AIRIKA" Is all I sorta heard as I began to feel the bed sink down next to me and a woman's voice trying to wake me up.

"AIRIKA PLEASE GET UP I'M BEGGING YOU TO PLEASE!!!"she pleaded with me as she thought that I wasn't waking up. I began to feel the bed pop back up and the presence leave. I thanked god that she left and gave up so I could sleep in more.

As I buried my face more into the pillow I felt something on my face it felt like drops, but from what? Next thing I knew I sprung up from my bed and I was now fully awake breathing for air through my mouth, that's when I realize she had just thrown water all over me.

"REALLY JENNYE REALLY THAT'S LOW" I yelled as I saw Jennye my "aunt" standing there with a bucket of water."Well how else was I supposed to wake you up huh?" she asked and smirked at me.

"I don't know shake me awake I guess but not with FREAKING WATER!!!"i said as my voice got a little loud at the end.

"Well than what's the fun in that" she winked at me before leaving. She was just about to leave when she reminded me of something that would change my life forever.

"Hey Airika?"she asked as she stopped at my doorway."Yes" I said as I got up from bed and grabbed a towel to try to dry off my body from the water.

"Um I got a call yesterday from someone named Scooter Braun ever heard of him?"she asked as my I stopped dead and my tracks and my eyes darted toward her.

"Um yeah of course I do he's signed so many amazing artists!!!"i said happily."Well he called me and asked for you while you were in school yesterday and wanted to speak with you." she said grinning so wide it scared me.

"WHAT NO WAY!!!"i said as she kept looking at like if she was lying."How did he even get your number and why me what's so special about me huh?" I asked as I walked close to where she was by the door.

"Well he said he found your YouT-"is all she said before I realized exactly what se was going to say. Scooter Braun the Scooter Braun called my "aunt" and asked for me NO WAY but wait why? My YouTube account is not popular at all how did he even find one of my videos. I mean I knew I can sing but I'm not no Katy Perry or Beyonce. I think my voice is acceptable to sing for a group of friends but for the world so why would he call Jennye?

"HELLO EARTH TO AIRIKA!!!"she said as she snap her fingers in my face."Yeah yes I'm back earth came back to me"i said.

"Well ok Scooter said that whenever you get a chance to call him." she said and looked into my brown orbs."Um no don't call him back."i said as I thought about my decision."Ok great i'll call him and tel-WAIT WOAH WOAH WOAH NO???"she yelled at me.

"No." I said as suddenly my feet began to look interesting."Airika you're kidding me right?"she asked."No I am not, no do not call him back!" I exclaimed hoping she would let me be with my decision.

"No Airika just no, this is a once In a life time opportunity and you are just going to throw it away? This is your dream ever since you were in kindergarten and you have a chance to live it and now you just suddenly don't want to?" she said hoping to change my mind.

"Jennye I said NO so please can you drop it ok I have reasons" I said as I started walking away from her going to my nightstand taking my phone off the charger and checking the time. "Damn" I mumbled under my breath as I saw that it was 5:00am.

"Well Airika I'm not going to argue with you about your decision," she said before turning around to walk away from my room.

"But Airika I might not be for your choice with this phone call but just know that I love you and I respect your decision but I just feel like your going to regret it for the rest of your life." she said as she looked at me and walked away from my room this time and descending from the stairs.

I thought to myself do I really want this? Do I want to give up my dream? in a way I don't but then I do. Half of myself that wants to give it up is because one I don't want to be become a stupid pop star because they are always making fun of them and two I feel like this opportunity is just being handed to me on silver platter and I don't like that I'm not one to take I give back. But then there's this other side of me that wants to go run back to Jennye and tell her to call him so I can live my dream. Ugh why does this have to be difficult!!!

I grabbed my phone from my hands turning it on checking the time realizing that it is now 5:30am and only have 15 minutes to get ready for school and with that I rushed to my closet and put on my school uniform.

As I put on my khaki pants, navy blue polo shirt, black vans, and my black belt I went to the mirror and looked at my dark chocolate brown hair. I brushed through it and pinned my hair half up half down and looked at my eyes and applied just a little mascara. I looked at myself once more before and approved then grabbed my big black galaxy hoodie and my backpack and headed out of my room because it was already 5;43am and I only have two minutes to get to my bus stop.

As I was walking outside of the house Jennye threw me a water bottle and waved me a goodbye and told me I love you. I said bye and love you to and headed out the door of the house towards my bus stop seeing my bus already there I walked faster. As I was getting on the bus my phone rang wondering who could be calling me this early in the morning, it's probably Jennye I thought as I answered it without looking at the caller's number.

"Hello" I answered it questioning and kinda groggy from the morning still.

"Yes is this miss Serna?"some man with a deep masculine voice asked me through the phone. I'm kinda scared how does this man know my last name?

"Um yes and who am I speaking to if I may ask?" I questioned while looking out of the window of the big yellow bus and admiring my house from a far.

"Ah good hello miss Serna this is Scooter...., Scooter Braun."
