"Jason," my mother stated appalled. Our group laughed. She never could remember his name. Or maybe she just hated him so much she didn't want to. Whichever it was, she was obviously not ready for his outburst.

"Jake," Kristy said, as always ignoring my mother. "Could you guys go wait in the theater room? Please?"

"Are you staying?" Eddie asked. She nodded and he added, "Then I'm staying."

"Me too," they all added sitting to prove their point. Thankfully my mom had like 6 couches in this living room for her parties, or else we'd have easily run out of seats

"Well..." Joe stated, rolling his eyes, "now that that's over, as I was saying. We want Kristina and Anya to perform in our concert."

"Not to be rude or anything," I stated as nicely as I possibly could - probably didn't work. "But why?"

"You're good," Kevin told us. "Really good."

"And you've got a better chance at being recognized at a concert of ours then in one of your school's concerts."

"Yeah," Jake mumbled. "Recognized as a pop diva."

"I like the idea," Eddie exclaimed suddenly, surprising everyone. "Anya, it's a great opportunity. This could be your way in." Everyone knew that I planned to one day be famous. I just never would have thought it'd be through Disney.

"And Kristy, you're an amazing singer. Maybe having a thousand screaming fans will make you see that." Kristy was always the shy one of the group, and of the singers. She loved singing, but never thought she was quite good enough.

"I like the idea! But I won't go without Anya." All heads turned towards me. Well. I guess it's time to start yelling.

"No! Jake's right. I don't want to be a Jonas pop princess."

"Pop...prin...cess?" Joe questioned.

"See," I screeched pointing to him. "He doesn't even know the crap that he is. Kristy, how could you even suggest us degrading ourselves like that?"

"Degrading yourself?" Nick yelled right back, getting up to stand in front of me. "You may not realize this, but you have nowhere to go but up! Joe was suggesting a chance in a million for you. Any other girl would kill for this. But you just don't want to cause your scared.

"Joe, Kevin, let's go. It's obvious she's not doing it. You've both had your fun and now if you all forgot, we've got a concert tomorrow that we need to be ready for."

"I am not scared," I told him, shaking with rage. How could he even think I was scared to perform? It wasn't fear keeping me from it! I just don't want to be a Disney kid.

"Oh yes you are," he shot right back. "You're scared of performing because for some crazy reason, you think who you sing with defines who you are. It's pathetic, and I'm actually glad you're refusing to sing."

Eddie and Kristy just smiled. They both know what happens when someone eggs me on and I take the bait. I probably should have tried controlling myself. Maybe then I wouldn't have said this:

"I'll do it!"

The Jonas trio looked flabbergasted. "You...you will?" Joe asked.

"Yes. I'll do your frigging concert."

"Wonderful," my mother stated delightedly, her pearly whites shining. Shit, what have I gotten myself into?

"We'll be here at 8am tomorrow to pick you up then."

"8?!?!?" I screeched, definitely not a morning person. I mean seriously, don't the popstars know Saturdays are meant for sleeping.

"Yeah, if you both are going to be in the concert, we need you to be ready."

"At 8?"

"Yes," Nick added annoyed. "Jesus, are you deaf?"

Eddie put a hand my knee to keep me from jumping over the couch and throttling the Disney star.

"Now," Jake finally spoke. "We've got some movies to watch so...if you could. Get out!"

I silently thanked Jake for his don't-give-a-shit attitude, and let the boys out - kindly, mind you.

Once they were gone, we regrouped in the theater room, where a newfound tension seemed to grow.

"Well..." Danny started, ending the silence. "They seemed nice."

He said it in such a Danny-way that I couldn't help but laugh and nod.

Well Nick seems angry. Is he normally that way or is there something more going on. Keep reading to find out. =]
