Fame | Joel Pimentel

6

The next day, the first thing I did was call Kelly and she picked up after a few rings.

"Hello?" She said from the other line.

"You called last night?" I asked rubbing my eyes.

"Ah yes. Did Shawn tell you that you 2 are having a date coming up?" She asked.

"Yeah." I rolled my eyes.

"I'll tell you the details soon. Anyways today is the big day!" She sung.

"I know!" I smiled so big.

"Eddy will pick you up at 11:30." She informed me.

"Great, got it. See you later." I hung up.

I ate some breakfast and killed some time, since it was barely 10, by being on social media. Soon enough, Eddy called me telling me he has arrived. I locked the door and went inside the car.

When I arrived to the building, some staff immediately took me to wardrobe then to makeup and hair. After I was finished, I waited backstage along with Kelly. It was a commercial break, a guy came up to me and led me to the stage where Ellen was. We introduced ourselves and even took a picture! We sat down and then a guy began to countdown from 5 to 1. Then it started filming.

We talked about how my life has been like and about my music.

"So now that were good friends and all, why don't you tell us about you and Joel Pimentel?" She asked trying to get comfortable.

"What about us?" I asked.

"Everyone is saying there's some sort of thing going on between you two, is it true? There's many pictures of you two." She pointed to the back of us.

I turned around and it showed a big screen with pictures of Joel and I.

"No no no, we're just very good friends that's all." I smiled.

"I hope you're not lying to me." Ellen squinted her eyes at me.

I laughed a bit, "I'm not, I promise."

"Do you see you two being more than friends in the future?" She got closer.

"Yes I do, best friends." I nodded.

"No, that's not what I meant." She laughed.

"Well he's a good guy but I would just leave us as friends, we're both focused on our stuff right now so" I gave her a nod and a smile.

"Well you two would make such a cute couple."

"Everyone tells me that." I pointed out.

"Because they know it's true." She said which caused me to blush a little.

After the interview was over, Ellen and I talked a bit more. Then when it was time for me to go, I walked to the dressing room along with Kelly. She was on social media, posting my pictures with Ellen.

"So in 2 weeks, you and Shawn will start to be hanging out in public more often. Starting off with that date. It won't be like anything fancy, just a movie. We're starting off simple."

"Alright, I really don't like doing this. I don't want to fake a relationship." I sighed.

"Who knows? You two might actually build up a romantic relationship." She smirked.
