"Hello?" I answer as I picked up my phone. "Ari, I have really important news," my manager blurted out "come straight to the studio as soon as you get back in L.A." "Um okay, but that's going to be in a couple of hours." I said.

"It doesn't matter, just come straight over here, got it? Good. Bye." My phone then went silent as I shrugged it off and continued to listen to my music.

~2 hours later~

"Hey Scott!" I greeted my manager as I saw him walk out of the two French doors of his office. "What's the big news?" Scott quickly placed his hand on my mouth and looked around before pulling me into his office.

"Shh!" I rolled my eyes at him before licking his hand. "Eww, Ari!" Scott yelled before snatching his hand away and wiping it on his pants.

"Ok, since you're so impatient, what if I told you that I landed you a spot to perform on the Teen Choice Awards?" He said after he composed himself.

"I'm dead."

"You're so funny. But in all seriousness, you do know who will be hosts, right?"

"I don't know, who?" I asked.

"Jake Paul and Erika Costell... And they're going to perform, "It's Everyday, Bro" with Team 10." Scott said slowly.

"I can't do it, Scott, I'm sorry." I said after a couple of seconds.

"You have to, Ariana! You're the next big thing, everybody wants you to perform. Do you really want to let your fans down?" Scott persuaded.

"Scott even you know I have bad blood with them and it hasn't even been a year." I sighed.

"It doesn't matter. You don't have to talk or be near them, it's all covered. Trust me on this, Ari."

"I hate it when you do this." I said.

"So that's a yes...?" Scott said before I nodded my head and he gave me a smile then proceeded to excuse himself to take a phone call.

I walked out of the room and gave a Alissa a call to let her know, but it went straight to voicemail. "Hey Alissa, I'm going to be performing on the Teen Choice Awards. Give me a call if you ever hear this message. K bye."

I called an Uber to pick me up from Scott's office and gave directions to Rice's house. I was greeted by an unhappy sight when I saw- you guessed it- Chance and Anthony. Yay (note the very heavy sarcasm)

As mad as I was to see them in front of my home, I was a little bit nervous as to see how they would react. I regained my confidence and stepped out of the Uber.

I already had their full attention, but they did a double take when they saw me. They looked at one another before regaining their composer.

"Look who it is."

"Leave."

"Why?"

"I live here, you don't. Now leave before I call the police." I said with a straight face.

Chance smirked as he turned off the camera. "Jake wants to talk to you." He deadpanned.

'Oh hell no.' I thought.

"No"

"Too bad. He wants you to join Team 10 again."

***

"What happened next?! What did you say?" His eyes were big and filled with shock but curiosity was there.

"Chill, I'm getting there." I said as I adjusted myself on his couch. "Of course I said no."

"Ha. Brother Jakey never learns." Logan said with a sigh. "So did Chance and Anthony leave you alone after that?"

"Yeah. Anthony was all like 'Ooh, you're going to regret that' and I have to perform in the same room as them." I said in defeat as I threw myself to the couch.

"That sucks. Good luck." Logan said as he turned to walk away.

"That's it?"

"Well, what do you want me to do? My dad doesn't like me hanging around with you and I want to stay out of this." He said with his hands up as if he couldn't do anything.

"Just tell Jake and his 'crew' to leave me alone. I promise, that's all you have to do." I said sincerely.

"Ugh! Fine. But I don't know why my mom and dad don't like you. You're pretty chill."

"Thanks Logan, but they don't like me because I separated from your brother. I mean your mom's fine but your dad's not."

"Ok, enough of this weird emotional sh!t. Let's go with the boys!" Logan- being the big baby he is- ran to the front door but ran back to get Kong.

I rolled my eyes before walking out of his apartment.

***

"Honey, I'm home!" Logan yelled as he welcomed himself into the boys' house. "Logan, are they even here? And why do you have their keys?"

Logan looked at me before running through the house in an attempt to get away from the truth.

"Logan! We're in here!"

"Boys?"

"Logan?"

"Boys?"

"For goodness sake, they're in the living room, Logan!" I exclaimed after their exchange of questions.

"Ari?" I heard Daniel ask. Logan and I walked into the living room before being attacked with confetti.

"Congratulations!"

I stood there dumbfounded. "What? On what? Huh?"

"Logan told us that you are going to perform at the Teen Choice Awards!" Jack said. I slowly turned to Logan and he gave me a sheepish smile before shooting a confetti gun above me. "Surprise..."

Five seconds later and I was chasing him up the stairs, down the stairs, inside, outside, and everywhere else all while he blogged it.

"Somebody get her, I'm tired!" Logan said breathlessly to the boys. Jack got in my way and we fell down due to the force of my speed. So here we were. I was on top of Jack as we stared at each other from a close distance. Too close. Although, this would be worse if he was 18.

Awkward...

I was then pulled off of Jack and landed on the floor next to him. "He's mine." Logan said as he zoomed in on my red face.

I laughed before getting up and laying down on the couch.

"We have to go now."

"We barely got here like 20 minutes ago."

"Who cares?! I'm vlogger, dude!" Logan exclaimed.

"Ok...dude" I said mimicking him. "Bye guys."

Jack and Daniel walked us out and were closing the door but I turned just in time to see Jack wink at me with a smirk playing on his lips.

'I'm shook.' I thought as goosebumps crawled up my back.
