Your Fantasy is My Reality

Chapter 4

Julie's POV

As we finish the last of the pizza, I look at the time. 2:55.

"Guys," I start, "we need to be back in 5 minutes." The guys look at me with wide eyes.

"What are we waiting for? Come on, let's go!" Ivan says getting up. He helps me out of the booth, the other guys hurrying behind me. We all start running back to school. Well, the guys run, I somewhat limp/ walk as fast as I can since my knee still hurts a bit.

"Come on Julie," Joel says.

"I'm going as fast as I can," I reply. "My knee still hurts." I see Cole run back to me, carry me bridal style for the fourth time today, and run back to the guys. We run back to the school and through the front doors as fast as we could. We make it to the conference room. The guys all take their seats. Cole puts me in the seat right next to Ivan before taking the empty seat beside me. I look at the time. 2:58.

"We made it," PJ says still trying to catch his breath.

"Yeah," we all agree. Just then, Matt walks in.

"Jules," he says, "Tina and Ed have to take a call about the thing so you have to explain everything with me."

"But why?" I whine.

"Because you're the head of the thing," he says. "Now get up." I sigh, standing up. "What happened to you knee?"

"I fell and scraped it, sort of," I admit. "It was bleeding a lot."

"You can sit if you want," he says starting to ramble.

"I'll be fine," I say. "I'm pretty sure that the bleeding has stopped by now." He chuckles, we we make our way to the front of the room.

"Oh," Matt starts as I quickly look over the list of mentors, "you forgot to call Reece."

"Shoot," I say quickly taking out my phone. "I knew I forgot something."

Just then, the girls walk in, taking their seats across from the boys.

"Just call him later," Matt says to me.

"Remind me to," I say putting my phone away. He nods before turning back to look at the people in front of us.

"So," Matt starts, "Tina and Ed are taking care of a few business things to make sure everything is prepared for when you guys get to Australia, but Julie and I are here to give you a few of the general rules, general information on what you will be doing for this competition, and introducing a few of the mentors."

"So first rule is not to get on our bad sides because we can and will kick you off from the competition," I say.

"The next few rules are just the general stuff like curfew is normally at 10. You don't necessarily have to be asleep, just in your room. Next is that you are not allowed outside of the campus unless you have special permission from one of us. And lastly, you must be on time for practices. Some of the mentors are strict about being on time while others are lenient towards being late," Matt says.

"This competition is a combination between live performances to film making," I state. "Two days to a week is usually given depending on the task. It is important that we all work together and such."

"And, you have a group leader," he adds in. "It was going to be Julie, but since she's already working on everything else, your leader is Ivan."

"Congrats Kuya," I say giving him a hug.

"Can I have a co-leader?" Ivan asks.

"Sure," he replies.

"Julie, you're going to be my co-leader," he tells me. I just nod.
