"I could sing about how love is a losing battle. Not hard, it's not hard, it's not hard, it's not hard. And I could sing about cupid and a shooting arrow. In the end, you'd find out that my heart was battered real hard, it's so hard, real hard, it's that hard"

ARIANA'S POV

"Okay." The director on the set of Victorious calls out. "In this scene, since Tori is jealous that Cat is dating her ex, at the party, Tori will see them kissing, then turn and leave to go cry. Take one. Action!"

As much as I hate this whole fake kissing part in acting, I get over myself and pull the guy by his jacket, smashing his lips to mine.

I'm confused when Tori misses her cue to gasp and run, and instead takes the cheese fountain, and sprays it on us! We pull away, and I gasp as the hot goo gets in my hair.

I glare at her. "You little--"

"Cut! Cut out that last part, too. Ariana, please remember, this is a children's show, call her a bitch offset. Tori next time, follow the script. We're gonna make some changes to the script to add that in." the director says. "Take five everyone!"

"Oops. Silly me...." Tori says sarcastically before walking past me, harshly bumping my shoulder.

I storm out, and go into my dressing room. I close the door, and I hear someone in the room say, "woah, you look like shit...."

I look up to see Selena Gomez sprawled out on my couch.

"What are you doing here? Nickelodeon and Disney Channel stars aren't supposed to associate with each other...." I tell her, and she rolls her eyes.

"Well, considering that skank Tori just walked all over you, and you didn't do shit, you definitely need my association...." She points out.

"You don't get it. Your show is about being wizards, and you are the main character...."

"But my best friend in the show is a bitch in real life. She tried to do shit like this to me too. Just do something spontaneous. Whatever feels right....."

"Maybe..... So what's the real reason you came, 'cause you're not one to come play Dr. Phil....." I ask my friend of 2 years.

"Oh, you're taking me out to lunch after this......" She replies.

"Whatever--"

"ARIANA!" The director yells.

I roll my eyes. "Back to the shit..."

"Remember, spontaneous!" As she says it, she makes an imaginary rainbow with spirit fingers.

I nod, before heading back on set. I get in place and the director explains the scene.

"Alright, now thanks to some changes in the script, Cat is gonna run into the bathroom to clean up, while her boyfriend and Tori are out waiting for her. As Cat comes out of the bathroom, Tori and Cat's boyfriend will kiss. Take one. Action!"

I go into the 'bathroom', waiting for my cue to come out. I get back into my Cat voice, and walk out to see them kissing. I do a little whine, and they turn and shake there heads no, and I whine again pointing at them. I stand there, looking hurt before storming away to go cry. Easier than it would seem since I had to go through it in real life. Not exactly but close enough.

"Cut! Great job, Ariana." The director says then sends us off for the outfit change and makeup.

I run into my dressing room. Selena is still in there, but so is my outfit guy, Jones, and my makeup girl, Emma.
