After her father remarries leaving he with more brothers than she can count, Jessica De Van has only one wish - to make it in the music world.
And who knows, maybe brothers can be good for some things?
The next day my face was all over the news - I had to sneak out of my house disguised as one of my brothers (A baseball cap kept my hair hidden) because of the paparazzi (I had a change of clothes and my hair stuff in a backpack). Anyway I changed into a black dress with the back longer than the front and black heels in a public bathroom. I styled my hair into a half-down, half-down with curled ends and a black rose crown. I did my make up in a nude style and left the bathroom.

My family blinked when they saw me - shocked at the drastic change I had undergone in less than 30 minutes.
"Wow! Ok! My sis can keep an entire salon in a single bag! Now! Are we going to the schools or not?" Antonio asked with the hyper-activity of a child 11 years his junior.
"Yes, yes we are going now come on." Dad replied "We'll go to your school first, boys, as it's closer."
"YES!" The boys yelled, I smiled, I knew we would go to Hollywood Arts later in the day so I let the boys have their chance first.
When we got to Hollywood Senior High, the school-age boys entered first and were greeted like celebs before the rest of my biological brothers walked in, then my stepbrothers and finally I walked in flanked by dad and Anna. When I walked in the girls squealed and the boys got nose-bleeds (My brothers glared at these boys), I was swamped by fans - either asking for a photo, an autograph or even my phone number! Luckily my brothers' friends didn't act like this - I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I took away their time with their friends. Soon, the already-graduated brothers called up their friends and had a massive reunion in the High school cafeteria.
In half an hour, we had to leave and the school children had to get to their lessons so we went a few streets away to Hollywood Arts where the kids were just escaping lessons for their lunch. I walked in and was instantly over-run but not by fans no by friends. After being dragged table to table I finally got to the stage and everyone crowded round - Anna was smirking and all the boys (dad included) had their jaws on the floor - I walked over to the mic and started talking.
"Well, Hello to all of you guys! I am probably not the only one wondering if I would ever see you again!" Everyone cheered except my male relatives "Now I have had an excellent idea but first I would like to say... To my brothers and dad - Please do pick you're jaws off the floor, it doesn't like the intrusion." I said and everyone laughed as they picked up their jaws and flushed scarlet. "Thanks! Now for my idea, I believe we should have a... School Wide Dance Break!" Cheers erupted from my audience and everyone got into position. I set up my stereo and set it to play when I wanted it to. I faced my former school-mates "Ok so this is one of my new songs - No-one but me has heard it." Applause erupted and I pressed the play button and my song You belong with me.
You're on the phone with your girlfriend She's upset, she's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do
But she wears short skirts I wear T-shirts She's cheer captain And I'm on the bleachers Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see That I'm the one Who understands you Been here all along So, why can't you see You belong with me You belong with me
Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?"
And you've got a smile That could light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while Since she brought you down
You say you're fine I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that?
She wears high heels I wear sneakers She's cheer captain And I'm on the bleachers Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see That I'm the one Who understands you Been here all along So, why can't you see You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your backdoor All this time how could you not know, baby? You belong with me You belong with me
Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me about your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me
Can't you see That I'm the one Who understands you? Been here all along So, why can't you see You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your backdoor All this time how could you not know, baby? You belong with me You belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe You belong with me? You belong with me
I was singing along while we danced. It blew my families minds to smithereens
(Imagine like in Descendants when they are all dancing in sync with one another. Watch below for reference if needed)
