Paige's Pov

I never thought I could lie to my idol Taylor Swift. Well she is actually my mother now. But I have been with her for one night and I am already lying. It's my ankle. I think it's sprained and I shouldn't be walking on it but I am not going to burden Taylor.

We are going into Nashville today. Taylor said she has to go to the label she works for today. I am excited because I have always wanted to go inside a record label. I want to work for one some day so this is a pretty big deal.

I really hope we don't have to do a ton of walking today. I was wearing sneakers and socks that hid my black and blue ankle from Taylor this morning but the outfit she had bought for me to wear today are these black heals that are very pretty but I just don't know if I can walk in them.

"Paige Are you almost Ready to go?" Taylor asks knocking on my locked door. "Paige unlock the door please." As she bangs on the door more

"Ok Ok Ok geez give me a second." I say opening the door with my lipstick in hand. I am already in the outfit Taylor got for me to wear. It is this black high wasted skater skirt and a white with black lace crop top. It is really cute and retro. "Why did I need to unlock the door I am getting ready?" I ask Taylor.

"Because Paige Ok" Taylor says in a stern tone of voice.

"I am almost ready I just have to put this lipstick on and the heels you bought for me. Thank you for this amazing outfit by the way." I say as I head to the mirror with my black lipstick. I think Taylor saw my lipstick choice because she followed me to the mirror.

"No no no you are not wearing black lipstick." Taylor says taking the lipstick from my hand.

"What wait why not?" I say as she hands me a blush pink lipstick color.

"You are too young to be wearing that bold of makeup choices. You are 12 not 16." Taylor says.

"Fine" I say pissed off and I put the pink lipstick on.

Taylor heads back down stairs to probably get her stuff together.

"Hurry up Paige we need to go soon. I need to be there at a certain time." Taylor says rushing me.

"Ok coming!" I yell down the stairs.

I run out of the bathroom and grab the heels. Quickly regretting running on my bad ankle. I sit down to put the heels on clutching my ankle for a second. Once I have the heels on I walk slowly down the stairs.

"Finally there you are." Says Taylor as she hands me a guitar. "Do you mind carrying this out please my security hasn't arrived yet but we have to go out to meet the driver."

"Yep Ok." I say as we head out the door.

Taylor goes ahead of me which is good because that short run has made me need to limp for a while.

Sitting with a screen in between us and the driver Taylor begins to talk to me.

"Hey Paige so we have a thirty minute drive I would like to get to know my daughter more. So what do you say we ask each other questions?" Taylor says looking at me all happy.

"Ok I guess why not." I say shrugging my shoulders. "What ya want to know?"

"Well let's start off with the basics..." Taylor says. "What's your favorite color?"

"I have a couple. They are Dark Red, Olive Green, Black and White." I say back looking at her face for approval. "Ok my turn to ask you something."

"Ok what do you want to know about me that you don't already know." Taylor says laughing.

"Ok let me think." I say cracking my knuckles it's a bad habit but it helps me think. "You are probably going to laugh at me asking this but which cookies are your favorite to bake?"

Taylor laughs. I love her laugh so much.

"Um I think my favorite to make are the pumpkin chocolate chip ones I make." Taylor says.

"Will you ever bake them for me?" I ask kinda shyly.

"Of course I will sweetie as soon as Tour is done and it is fall." Taylor says. "Now my turn to ask you a question."

"Ok hit me with your hardest." I say laughing.

"What's your gpa in school?" Taylor says.

"My what?!" I say. I don't know what she is talking about but I am not ready to talk about school with her. The time will come though.

"It stands for grade point average. They normally don't use it until highschool. But anyway what grades do you normally get?" Taylor says.

"Oh guess! I want to play this as a game." I say.

"Ok" Taylor says. "A's and B's"

I shake my head really hard giving a clear no.

"What about A's,b's and c's?" Taylor says.

I laugh and then say, "Here I'll give you a hint to make this go a little faster. I haven't gotten higher than a C like ever at least as far as I can remember." I look over at Taylor and her face doesn't have the greatest expression on it. I know that she was really good at school but I am just not. It isn't something I like to talk about.

"C's and D's than?" Taylor says with a stricter tone to her voice from when she was guessing before. "Please tell me you haven't gotten any F's before."

I don't answer and just look down at my feet. I think that sent a clear message. I don't want her mad at me but I feel like it is bound to happen.

"How about you and I have a more formal chat about school later than ok Paige." Taylor says to me after I didn't answer to her asking if I have ever failed a class.

I want to answer with how about we don't talk about it at all anymore but I just say, "Ok".

The rest of the car ride is quiet. I didn't want to talk anymore after I made Taylor upset. I am still lying about my ankle and that makes me feel even more guilty.

We go around a corner and then quickly into this large curved driveway up to this tiny little house but next to it is this huge building.

"Welcome to Big Machine Records." Taylor says getting out of the car.

Authors Note
