"What's up girl?" Joy, Leigh's best friend, asked.
"I'm so busy!" Leigh said. "I have to do all kinds of work so I won't be behind."
"Aren't you excited?" Joy asked.
"I'm gonna be in a movie!" Leigh squealed. "And it's a pretty good script."
"So what about your leading man?" Joy asked. "Who is he?"
"I have no clue," Leigh said.

"Yes. It was Nick Carter," Leigh sobbed.
"Wow," Joy said. "And you're in love with him.
"It shows, huh?" Leigh asked.
"Just a little, Joy said, hugging Leigh.
