AJ walked onto the Orlando College of Music campus and headed into the building. Looking around the hallways, he eventually found his room. AJ had decided to specialize in recording, and writing songs, which would help him with his solo career. Learning how to record and write his own songs would allow him to make songs at his own home, in his recording studio in his basement.
For his first day of College, AJ decided to wear something funky, as always. AJ chose a pair of dark green cargo pants, with a black tank top, with a black shirt ontop of that. AJ's hair color of the week was black with bleached tips. As he took a seat, he put his briefcase on the seat beside him and waited for the lecture to start. Adults and other young adults were filing into the room, people of all ages.
A group of girls, who looked to be around the age of 19 and 20, entered the room and took up the few seats infront of AJ. AJ's eye caught hold of the girl sitting right infront of him. One of her friends looked back and saw AJ sitting there.
"Hey isnt that AJ from the Backstreet Boys?" One of the girls said.
Karine looked behind her and saw AJ sitting there, smiling at them. Karine smiled back at AJ.
"That sure is!" Karine said, smiling to herself after facing the front of the room. When backstreet boys were together, AJ had been her most favourite, and she liked him even now, even after the BSB had broken up.
After the lecture was over, everyone left the room. Karine, Jenny and Abby walked to the student lounge area, which was a place in the College where students could hang out, eat and drink. There was a McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Tim Hortons and more little fast food outlets in the lounge that the students could choose from to get food.
Karine, Jenny and Abby got some McDonalds, and took a seat on one of the couches in the lounge, talking about their summers. and other subjects.
"I went and saw N SYNC" Jenny said "I just love Justin!!!" she added.
"So, Karine, who are you sharing a dorm room with?" Abby asked. Abby and Jenny were sharing a dorm room, since the three of them moved from Quebec to Florida.
"No one, I have a room all by myself" Karine said.
"Oh your soo lucky!" Abby said.
"hey!!!" Jenny said, realizing Abbys joke.
AJ entered the student lounge and grabbed his favourite McDonalds meal. AJ looked around for places to sit, and then spotted the three girls that sat infront of him in lecture.
AJ sat down on the couch across from the girls.
"Hello girls" AJ said, trying to be all flirty, just like what hes known to be like.
"Hello AJ" Abby said flirtingly back. Karine shot Abby a glance.
"Hello AJ" Karine said after Abby.
"Whats your names?" AJ asked.
"Im Abby, and thats Jenny, and thats Karine" Abby replied.
AJ smiled at Karine, making her turn into a shade of blush.
"Where are you girls from?" AJ asked.
"Montreal, Canada!" Karine said.
"wow! Thats a long ways away!" AJ said. "Why did you choose to come here?"
"My best friend Tara lives here, and I have also always wanted to move to Florida, so I thought "why not"?" Karine said.
"Where's your friend Tara?" AJ asked.
"Oh shes still in high school, shes in grade 13" Karine replied.
"oh!" AJ said.
"SO how old are you girls?" AJ asked.
"We're 19" Abby said, referring to her and Jenny.
"Im 20" Karine said.
Karine was writing down something on a piece of paper.
"What are you writing?" AJ asked curiously.
"Oh, lyrics to a song! We have a band, we're called Mystery!" Karine said.
"really?" AJ asked "Would you mind if I could see your lyrics?"
"uhmm.. no, I dont mind" Karine said, and then she passed AJ the lyrics. AJ read the paper.
"Wow! These are pretty good!" He said, impressed.
"Thanks!" Karine said. AJ closed the notebook, and saw pictures of the BSB on the front of the binder.
"So your a fan eh?" AJ asked.
"Yeah, I didnt wanna say anything though, I didnt know if it was a touchy subject" Karine said.
"Oh dont worry about it. They were some of the best years of my life" AJ said seriously.
After an hour of chatting, it was time for AJ to go to his next class.
The girls stood up because they each had separate classes they had to go to also.
As the girls were leaving, AJ pulled Karine behind.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" AJ asked.
"uhmm.. ok! But make it quick, I dont want to be late for class!" Karine said.
"Well, I was wondering, do you think I can call you sometime?" AJ asked.
Karine smiled at AJ.
"You want to call me?" Karine asked surprised.
"yeah!" AJ said.
"ok!" Karine said, and then she gave AJ her phonenumber of her dorm room.
"oh you're staying in the dorms?" AJ asked.
"yeah.." Karine said. AJ looked at the paper, and then greeted her goodbye. Karine ran off and caught up with her friends in next class.
Over at the high school, 3:05 came around, and last bell rang. Nick walked to his locker, and saw Tara at the locker beside his.
"Hey! What are you doing here?" Nick asked.
"I guess they put the lockers in alphabetical order" Tara said, noticing that Nicks locker was right beside hers.
"Hey, how are you getting home?" Nick asked.
"Bus, I hate my bus! Theres a lot of losers on it! Some people act soo immature" Tara said. "They always whistle as soon as i get off the bus, and I hate it"
"oh, really? Uhmm... would you like a ride?" Nick asked Tara.
"Sure" Tara said, then she shut her locker door and locked it. Nick grabbed the rest of his stuff and walked to his car with Tara.
"Hey BJ!" Tara said to BJ.
"Tara!!! I havent seen you since like.. Last June!" BJ said. Tara and BJ were friends, however, since Nick had been gone with the BSB for the past years, he never knew it until now.
"You coming with us?" BJ asked.
"yup!" Tara said. BJ let Tara ride in the front, and she climbed in the back.
Nick drove back to his house, and invited Tara in. Tara entered the Carter house, remembering what it was like 6 years ago when she had been there for Nicks 12th birthday party.
Nick took Tara on a tour of the house, and showed her all of his awards that he got from being in the Backstreet Boys.
"Hello Tara!" Jane said, hugging Tara as she came in.
"Hello Mrs Carter!" Tara said happily.
"I havent seen you all summer long! Then again, BJ has been realy busy with her modelling" Jane said. Tara used to go to the Carters house all the time when BJ entered high school, because Tara and BJ are good friends.
"How was your summer, sweetie?" Jane asked.
"It was alright, Ryan and I broke up, I found out that he was cheating on me. I've been busy working, and hanging out with my friend Karine, who moved here from Montreal" Tara said.
"Im sorry to hear that, Tara!!" Jane said sympathetically.
Nick stood there in silence while Jane talked to Tara.
"Its okay, IM over him anyways. I dont understand why I ever went out with him for... I guess I was hoping he changed from the way he used to be. But he hasnt" Tara said.
"Dont worry, Tara! Theres someone out there for you" Jane said. Nick interrupted.
"Hey mom, did you know that this was the Tara I was friends with in grade 6?" Nick asked.
"yeah I knew" Jane said, smiling at her son, then at Tara.
"How was your first day of school?" she asked.
"it was good" Nick said, feeling good about his first day.
"Tara and I are going to go hang out back" Nick said, and then him and Tara left the kitchen.
Nick and Tara went out back to where the Carter pool was and sat down on the poolchairs.
"Its really nice to see you again" Nick said.
"yeah I now!!! Im really glad to see you again!" Tara said.
"Whats up with you and that Joe guy?" Nick asked, looking at the ground.
"Oh, nothing really. I think he likes me." Tara said. Nick laughed and agreed with Tara.
"Do you like him?" Nick asked.
"I dont know.. " Tara said. Nick stayed silent for a few moments, and then took Tara into the house.
"Wanna go play some nintendo games?" He asked.
"Yeah!!! Got Mario Kart? thats the best!" Tara asked.
"YOU like Mario Kart??? Man, you really are a dream come true!!" Nick said, and then he realized what he said. Tara looked at Nick and blushed, then they went to go play some nintendo.
