It All Started With Hello [Book One In The Hello Series]

Chapter 57- Used To Be Video 2.0

"Oh, Dios mío, Artemis. ¿No podemos hacer esto ahora? Es demasiado pronto para ello." Prince said in Spanish. I narrowed my eyed at him. (Oh my God, Artemis. Can we not do this right now? It's too early for this)

"¿Por qué no ahora, Princeton? Es un buen momento como cualquier otro ir a hacer esto. Vamos a tener que hacer esto más tarde." I said in Spanish. (Why not now, Princeton? It's a good time as any to do this. We'll have to do this later)

"¡Eres una perra! ¿Por qué siempre empezar? Siempre haces algo de la nada!" Prince shouted. I gasped at his words. (You are such a bitch! Why do you always have to start? You always make something out of nothing!)

My friends were staring at us. The only ones that understood what we were saying were Yulissa and Clavin Pacheco-- Yulissa is Cuban and Clavin is Mexican.

"Si yo soy una perra que eres un culo negro coño! Joder, te odio! Yo siempre digo algo porque Te amo." I shouted. "Usted debe preocuparse cuando no digo mierda! Entonces sabrás que no me importa."

(If I'm a bitch than you're a pussy ass nigga! I fucking hate you! I always say something because I love you. You should worry when I don't say shit! Then you'll know I don't care)

"Stop!" Yulissa shouted as Prince opened his mouth to something. "Why are two fighting about something so stupid?"

"Uh...Yulissa, we were acting." I said.

"Yeah. We were just getting ready for our scene." Prince said as we got to Bourbon Street.

"Oh. Well...um...oops!" Yulissa giggled nervously. I shook my head as Prince and I laughed.

"Okay. Makeup and wardrobe check on everyone now! You have five minutes to be done and ready while it is still dark!" Phil shouted. Alexa ran around with some helpers to check all of us, especially Roc, Prod, Prince, Ray, Kenneth, Jari, Brittany, Isis, and I.

"Kenneth and Jari start walking while talking and laughing, now. Action." Phil said as the camera men held the cameras up and started recording as the music started. "Everyone start walking back and forth. Fill the street. Prod, walk by...now. Look shocked as you look at Jari's chain."

Jari, Kenneth, and Prod and everyone else did their scene perfectly. As Prod walked by he started singing Used To Be.

"Alright. Cut. Let's get Prod and Jari ready to dance with everyone else." Phil said. We stood in the middle of the street in black and red varsity jackets and black jeans. "And action!"

The first verse and chorus played as we danced.

"Cut. To the café. Costume change now." Phil said and we all walked to the Café Du Monde. The staff was waiting for us. We changed in the restrooms quickly before taking seats through out the café. Brittany and Ray started acting like they were in a date before Phil and the camera man were even ready.

"And action!" Phil shouted.

The shooting went on for a long time until we finally got to Mrs. Perry's house at 6PM-- just when the sun was setting. Before we went there, Phil had all of us dance on the levee then had Prod and Jari talk, hug, and almost kiss.

"Hey everyone!" Mrs. Perry smiled as she let us in. She was our seventh grade math teacher and Brittany's fifth and seventh math grade teacher.

"So what is about to happen?" Mrs. Perry asked Keisha, Walter, and Phil.

"Prodigy is going to be in whichever bedroom you picked out and he'll be laying there looking at a picture of Jari. He'll be sad and upset as he tries to decide what to tell Jari. Then Princeton and Artemis will be in the kitchen fighting." Phil said.
