"Holy shit I'm cold," I state with my hands stuffed into my pockets to keep them warm, and my grey hoodie covered over my head.

"Agreed," Noah says. I take a seat on the sidewalk curb beside her and stare out at the street that we were on. It was a backstreet somewhere in Seattle, and I watched all the crew setting up cameras, mics and lighting so we could finally film the music video for Trust Fund Baby. We were about to film the opening scene with Jonah and Daniel when their car breaks down.

As we waited for the car to arrive, I watched Daniel attempting to bottle flip. "Dude, you've tried this like a hundred times already," Jonah chuckles.

Daniel tries again, and somehow got it to land. "You were saying?" He teases as the sound of a grunty car engine appears from around the corner. Our eyes turn away from Daniels water bottle and to the blue car strolls down the street.

"Woah, you boys are lucky," I claim as it pulls up beside us.

"Can I keep it?" Jonah asks.

"If I was still in high school, I would so want to have been able to drive that there," Daniel says as the director of the music video (also known as Jason) comes over to us.

"Hey guys!" He cheers.

"Hey," we all smile.

"So Jonah and Daniel, I'd like to start this scene with Daniel driving the car to pick Jonah up," Jason says getting straight into action. The boys nod as I see some crew setting big contraption on the front of the car with the camera attached to it. I look at Noah with my eyes wide just to see her looking back with the same expression.

"Where can I get me one of those bad boys?" I ask walking up to it.

"Imagine the quality..." Noah mumbles looking at the buttons. I take a step back from the car before bumping into someone. "Oh shit, sorry!" I exclaim turning to the person behind me. It was a girl around my age with brown wavy hair and darkly tanned skin.

"Don't worry about it," She smiles. "I wasn't looking where I was going," the girl says.

"Neither was I," I admit with a slight laugh.

The girl holds her hand out. "I'm Ava."

"Kelsey," I say.

After finishing Daniel and Jonah's car scene, I had gotten to know Ava pretty well. She seemed really nice, and Ava had introduced Noah and I to some of the other girls onset. They were all pretty hype about being in a music video, but I mean who wouldn't be? Especially if it was for a Why Don't We song.

I strolled through the corridors of Roosevelt High School with Noah by my side. The blue lockers and school halls reminded me of when we use to go to school. It feels like just yesterday I was standing at the front of my school with Noah standing beside me as we stared at the big brick building in front of us.

That was the day that we first met Cole and Arthur. Yes, I know that they are a year behind us, but this memory took place on our second year at school. They were both so friendly and always had our backs... oh how the times have changed.

The sound of people talking and laughing pulls me out of my thoughts. Noah and I both seem to hear the noise and turn to the nearest classroom that was occupied by several crew members along with Zach. The class dark along with red and blue lights shining across the room.

"Woah Herron, nice set up," I smile walking up to Zach with Noah by my side.

"Yeah it's pretty cool," he says picking up a photo from a tray in front of him.

"Do you know what you're meant to be doing?" Noah asks picking another photo and holding it up so she could get a better look.

"To be honest, no." Zach chuckles. I laugh and roll my eyes. "I'm a high school drop out, okay! Leave me alone!" He exclaims waving his arms around to make his point. I then hear the sound of footsteps striding through the halls outside of the dimly lit room that I was in. A few seconds later, I see a tall blonde boy walk past with his hands shoved into his white jean pockets with his hair bouncing at every step he took.

"I'll catch you guys later," I say waving to Noah and Zach before jogging out of the room. "Corbyn!" I cheer. He swivels on his heels and smiles when he sees me.

"Kelsey," he says.

"Whatcha doing?" I ask, mimicking Isabella from Phineas and Ferb.

Corbyn starts to walk again once I had caught up with him. I go to hold his hand, but then snuff it back into my hoodie pocket, realising that I couldn't do that. "Headed to where my scene is going to be filmed," he says. I nod. "My theme is like science and math."

"Definitely down your lane," I say as we turn into a class with several desks, cameras and extras all seated at a table each.

"Ahh Corbyn, there you are," a man says with a grin. "We'll begin filming after I give you a quick rundown of what you're going to be doing," he states pulling Corbyn aside. "Oh and before I forget, can someone please write some science and math shit on the board behind where Corbyn here is going to be sitting," he says.

I decided to make myself somewhat useful before heading to the back of the class and picking up a piece of white chalk. I start to draw different shapes and numbers, and I search up smart looking math equations before doodling them on the board.

"You need any help?" I hear a light voice ask. I turn my head and see two girls around the same age as me, both with friendly smiles plastered to their faces.

"Uhm, nah I think I'm nearly done anyway, but thanks for the offer," I say.

"No problem. Wait, aren't you Kelsey? Corbyn's girlfriend?" The taller girl asks.

That's when I realise that limelights and the shining stars think that Corbyn and I still date... Oh gosh what do I say? Should I be the bearer of bad news? Do I let these pretty girls know that my man is single and hopefully not ready to mingle?

Hell. No.

"Yeah I'm Kelsey, but I don't think I caught you're names?" I say with a smile, changing the subject.

"Oh I'm Tayler," the girl with a blue and white bandanna along with a pair of overalls says.

"Lindsey," says the second girl who had pretty blue eyes and dark hair.

I nod as Corbyn walks back over to us. "Lindsey, Tayler," He smiles.

"Hey Corbyn," Tayler says.

I hope like hell that they don't bring up anything about Corbyn and I's dating life. Corbyn sighs at a slip of paper in his hand. "You good?" I ask. He lifts the paper up and stares at it. "I got it wrong. I said that it was eighty seven, but I was two off. X actually equals the square of eighty five,"

I look at the two girls, all of us with our eyebrows raised. "I'm just gonna nod like I know what you're talking about," I say.

Corbyn chuckles. "You have no idea what I'm on about, do you?"

"Not a clue."

"Look, I'll teach you," He says leaning over to me and taking a pen from his pocket. I smile at how close we were as his elbow pushes against me as he scribbles down a long math equation.

"You two are cute," Lindsey says with a wink.

If only she knew...
