Right From The Start {Book 1}

Mega Student to Mega Star

- - - - (VIOLETTA'S POV) - - - -

It's time to return to class, and Pablo has a new assignment for us.

"Now since we have a sponsorship with U-Mix we will have special projects that U-Mix will be needing from you. Over the weekend we were talking with one of the U-Mix's producers and directors. He wants to put together the first ever official music video for On Beat Studio." [Pablo]

We all gasp in excitement. This is the beginning of our professional careers. People all over who watched U-Mix will be watching us sing and perform. It is honestly the beginning of a dream come true.

"Take into account we must start being participating professionals. U-Mix is giving us pure control over the theme, song choice, and choreography. They will be providing the wardrobe, props, location, equipment and everything else needed to film and produce the music video. We need to have an official theme by the end of the day. Right now does anyone of suggestions?" [Pablo]

Of course Ludmilla was the first to have her hand up.

"Why don't we centralize it of one mega star. Preferably me. And everyone else is the back up dancers, assistances, and behind the set people. The star will be the one putting on the best show. And I already have a song that fits perfectly with that theme." [Ludmilla]

"Ludmilla U-Mix wants everyone to showcase their skills, which means no favoritism or special treatment. You cannot excel on particular person and vaporize the rest of your fellow classmates. Is shows no team work. Any other ideas?" [Pablo]

Francesca was the next person.

"I was thinking we can have a song that represents the unity the studio has. Everyone comes together because our passion is the same, music." [Francesca]

"That is really good. It's a solid start. How can we get in depth with it?" [Pablo]

"We can start off with everyone doing their own thing. Like someone whose strength in creating mixes, or dancing, or simply playing their favorite instrument." [Maxi]

"And then someone can bring them together." [Camilla]

"Alright. What is the purpose of bringing them together? A show, concert?" [Pablo]

"How about a party? Everyone comes together to hangout and have a good time. We are still students and we can showcase how we are still regular teenagers something that everyone who watches the video can relate." [Leon]

"I think we have ourselves the theme. Now for the next two days I want to start working on the song. I think right now that is all the time for class. Everyone is dismissed." [Pablo]

(You can find the next scene in the media above)

Everyone leaves the zoom. Diego, Francesca, Camilla, and Broadway had a class with Gregorio to get to. Maxi, Andres, Ludmilla, Leon and Nati went their own ways and I went to the piano room to continue composing this new song I began writing a day or two ago. This song sort of came out of me when Francesca and I reconciled our friendship. The unity of Friendship. I thought this could be the perfect song for the music video, I just need to finish it first.

In the middle of me rehearsing Camilla came in asking to borrow a hair tie. I keep a bunch in my locker. When I came back I hear someone playing my song, I turn the corner and see HIM.

- - - - (LEON'S POV) - - - -

After Pablo's class I had to go visit the track for a minute. I didn't bother to talk or see Lara, I needed sometime to myself and clear my head. I can't stop thinking about the other night. Seeing Violetta with Diego and so happy.

I need to understand why this bothers me so much. I then remember our first kiss, what it felt to be with her on stage. I know I was very nervous, something that doesn't normally happen when I am near her. I knew she always made me happy whenever we talked, but now in days I can't even go up to her to simply say "Hi".

When I see her with Diego I stay clear away because I hate the guy. I mean what is it that makes Violetta so attracted to him. Maybe it was because he played her prince when everyone else turned their back on her when her Francesca weren't talking. I guess it isn't so ridiculous, but if she would have known that I too believed her maybe things wouldn't be so different now.

Then I remembered when a time talking to Lara during the summer.

(FLASKBACK)

"Leon you seem a bit unfocused. Tell me what's in that head of yours." [Lara]

"There's this girl. I can't seem to get her out of my head and it's making me go crazy." [Leon]

"Tell me about her." [Lara]

"I've known her since we were six years old, we are the best of friends. This past year I began dating someone that she wasn't too fond of but that is because she knew the kind of person she really was. The entire time I didn't want to believe her when she was telling me the truth, instead I pushed her away and got myself hurt in the process. When I found out that she was being honest the whole time I realized that she was the person I should have stayed beside. We ended up singing the duet at the showcase and I kissed her." [Leon]

"What made you do that?" [Lara]

"I don't know, it was quite strange after the fact when I realized what I did. That is the problem. How are we suppose to be friends when this happened?" [Leon]

"Look there is only two scenarios to this story. You kissed her because you have feelings for her that are not for someone who is just you friend and you don't understand those feelings yet. Or, you kissed her within the moment, but feel awkward because you don't want her to end up having feelings for you when all you want to be is just friends." [Lara]

"Now the problem is which scenario is what exactly happens?" [Leon]

"Leon, you have stop thinking all the time. Relax, and find the answers from within your heart. In the meantime, focus your energy into motocross. You can also come around here and help out with the shop if you want." [Lara]

"Thanks Lara." [Leon]

(END OF FLASHBACK)

I can't help but to think I picked the wrong scenario. What if these feelings are feelings of Violetta wanting to be my girlfriend? I can't just break up with Lara, she is going to get hurt and I can't do that to her. I may need more time to understand exactly how I feel about Violetta.

By the time I stopped to see where I was, I reached the studio and now I am in the piano room. I wander through the instruments and notice someone's music sheet on the piano stand. I read the notes and begin playing. The song is perfect, has a good steady beat. Now I just wonder who it belongs too.

I get this feeling that creeps inside you as if someone is watching. I look around the room to find no one, I then smile back to the music sheet. It is a really good song, good enough to be the song for our music video.

- - - - (VIOLETTA'S POV) - - - -

I return to the piano once Leon left. Lucky that he didn't find me. We barely talk now, and the conversation would have been an utter disaster.

While watching him play I few lyrics come into my head. I wrote them down so I couldn't forget.

" Right now. Everything's so right. Right now. We are so alive. Happy when you are next to me. Right where you were meant to be." [Violetta]

I replayed singing the lyrics along with the music and it was a perfect fit.
