Song is "Tell Me Something I Don't Know" By Selena Gomez,
===*====
~~James’ View~~
I will gladly appreciate it if somebody can tell me why exactly I feel like I have a crush on Selena. Sure, she’s pretty, can dance, sing, and act, and sure she may have more power than most teenage girls originally do. But that is not a reason to have a crush on my Gustavo’s Boss’ niece, who is like his daughter. Just…no! It’s too weird.
There’s just something about her, something that makes her different from the rest. But, I’m not sure what. Matter of fact, I don’t even know why I am thinking this way about her. I may not really know her like a friend, but I do know she has the reputation to play with a guy’s heart, and she’s just like me but a female.
So…yeah. That little relationship or trying to get to know her just wouldn’t work out so well, now would it?
“Earth to James!” I heard Kendall yell, causing me to jump and look at him as he rolled his eyes. “C’mon, we’re going to be late on being at the studio. Last thing we need is Selena and Griffin seeing us late.” I sigh and nodded in agreement, getting up from the couch and following him and the other guys out of the apartment. Why does Selena have to be there today?...
~*~Selena’s View~*~
“I’m tired of showing them how it’s done!” I whined as Griffin and I walked into Rouqe Records, this time with Abdule and Mercedes. Even though I didn’t see her, I knew Mercedes rolled her eyes.
“You should be happy you can show off your talent like it is nothing.” She said and I sighed. Now, Mercedes isn’t talentless. Obviously she can act, but she picks the demos for Griffin on what band achieves their dream and what dreams don’t. Therefore, she can’t really go out and do acting like I can.
“It’s not always as great as you would think.” I stated, just following Griffin as we walked up to where Gustavo and the dogs were.
“Oh, great. Mercedes is here, too!” Logan exclaimed as he flopped down onto the black leather couch. She rolled her eyes and said back with attitude,
“You should be happy; since I’m the one who allowed you four dorks to excel in your career!” Sometimes, I swear she enjoys having to act like a brat and snob to these four guys. But for me, I hate it since in reality I love these guys, but have to act like I don’t. I just get too wrapped up into the acting to where I forget how much I really love them.
“Mercedes,” I said to her in a tone that told her to be quiet, and walked into the recording booth. I looked at Kelly and nodded in a way to tell her I was ready to start singing.
“Everybody tells me that it's so hard to make it
It's so hard to break yeah
There's no way to fake it
Everybody tells me that it's wrong what I'm feeling
I shouldn't believe in
The dreams that I'm dreaming.”

The other guys and I just listened to Selena as she sang. Like she did before, she only had one headphone speaker on while the other was behind her ear. She had her eyes halfway closed as she sang, but seemed to be enjoying it, just like any singer should.
“I hear it every day
I hear it all the time
I'm never gonna amount too much but they're never gonna change my mind
Oh.
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know, something I don't know, something I don't know,
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know, something I don't know, something I don't know.
How many inches in a mile
What it takes to make you smile
Get you not to treat me like, a child baby
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know, something I don't know, something I don't know
Tell me, tell me some-thing I don't know
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know, something I don't know, something I don't know,
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know, something I don't know, something I don't know.”
As she sang that chorus, she had more of a smile and seemed to be getting more into singing the song. Again I say, just like any singer should. I just stood with my arms crossed, still listening to her singing. I still think there is something about her that I like, but I can’t quite put a name on it.
Yes, she’s pretty, and yes she’s talented as well as rich. But there is something else about her, something I don’t know but feel desperate to know. But what? I guess I’ll just have to wait and see…
“Everybody tells me I don't know what I'm doing
This life I'm persuing
The odds I'd be losing
Everybody tells me that it's one in a million
Like one in billion
One in a zillion…”
She continued singing, still seeming to be really into it. I looked over at Gustavo as he leaned back into his chair, arms crossed, as he still focused on Selena’s singing and dancing. Except…now he had a look of consideration on his face. Oh, don’t tell me he’s thinking about signing her!
“I hear it every day
I hear it all the time
I'm never gonna amount too much but they're never gonna change my mind
Oh.
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know, something I don't know, something I don't know,
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know, something I don't know, something I don't know.
How many inches in a mile
What it takes to make you smile
Get you not to treat me like, a child baby
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know, something I don't know, something I don't know
Tell me, tell me some-thing I don't know
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know, something I don't know, something I don't know,
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know, something I don't know, something I don't know.”
He does know how insane he would be if he did sign her, right? Sure she is Griffin’s niece, but hasn’t he learned from when Kat’s Crew came into Rouqe Records that we don’t work well with others in here? Well, Big Time Rush doesn’t get say in who he signs or anything, anyway, so my thoughts, as well as the thoughts the others have, don’t matter to him.
But besides that, as she sang the chorus that time, she looked at me and gave a small flirtatious smile, and then closed her eyes again as she continued singing. Why has she been winking and smiling at me? Surely she can’t like me…
“So here's the track
Like Katrina makes a
Wish Medina
Make ‘em say 'I'm ready'
Are you ready for it
Ya I'm ready for it
Really ready for it
Ya I'm ready for it
Let's get ready for it
I'm on my way
I know I'm gonna get there someday
It doesn't help when you say
It won't be easy…”
As she sang out “Easy”, her voice rose up a bit, but still stayed harmonized in song. Gah, this girl is just too perfect for words when it comes to singing! I seriously just need to stop this, like right now. Gaining a crush on her will do me no good!
“Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know, something I don't know, something I don't know,
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know, something I don't know, something I don't know.
How many inches in a mile
What it takes to make you smile
Get you not to treat me like, a child baby
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know, something I don't know, something I don't know
Tell me, tell me some-thing I don't know
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know, something I don't know, something I don't know,
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know, something I don't know, something I don't know.”
Is it just me, or does this song unnescarily long so far? But it’s catchy!
“How many inches in a mile
What it takes to make you smile
Get you not to treat me like, a child baby
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know, something I don't know, something I don't know….”
When the track ended, she put up the headphones and walked out again. “Well?” She asked, looking at Gustavo. Looking at us, Gustavo just said, “Give me a moment alone with her.”
~*~Selena’s View~*~
Well, it’s official. I am now signed to Rouqe Records. So here is where the entire journey-slash-story begins.
A week later from when Gustavo decided to sign me to his label and give me an official singing job, I was lounging in one of the chairs beside the pool at the Palm Woods. I still don’t live here, but I visit often. Mostly only for the pool and to secretly see James, even though Griffin says I have to act like I hate him, because it is “best for my reputation”.
Isn’t it good enough that I have a player reputation? I mean, come on!
Either way, as I was lounging, I was listening to the instrumental version to some songs Gustavo had written for me and only had one ear bud in while the other was hanging out, but lying on my shoulder. But since my hair covered it, you couldn’t tell. It was just my way to hear my music while do slight eaves dropping without people knowing.
But hearing James and the others coming up, I quickly took up the other ear bud and right as I was about to place it in my ear, I heard James say my name in a questioning tone. With a sigh, I turned off my IPod and took out the ear buds, looking at him. “What?” I asked him.
He still looked as perfect, wonderful, and cute as ever. But, remembering I had to act like I hate him, I shoved the thoughts to the side and did my best to keep a slightly emotionless look on my face.
“Well, I just wanted to tell you that I think you are actually pretty talented, and I wish you the best with working on your singing.” I smirked, knowing this was my time to bring out the inner Diva, or whatever you want to call it.
“Well, I think I’m supposed to thank you for that compliment,” I started to say to him as I stood up, grabbing my bag and tossing my IPod into it as I put the bag on my shoulder. “But you should know that I don’t take compliments very easily. Now, why don’t you and the other three dogs go and practice your singing so you don’t sound so pitchy?”
As I said “pitchy”, it came out in what some of you would call a snap, and some would say in a small “bark”. Whatever you want to use, I just hope you can get how it came out. But, not caring for hearing anything James had to say in reply, I turned on my heel and walked off to leave the Palm Woods and to head back home.
~~James’ View~~
I seriously don’t understand that girl.
When she first sees me and the other guys, she always shows some sort of happiness, and it really shows in her eyes. But anytime I, or any of the guys, try to be nice to her, she acts like she’ll return the favor, but then snaps out something else in attitude.
I wonder what Griffin says to her at home. Maybe she wants to open up to us, or maybe she doesn’t. I don’t know, to be honest. But I hope that someday, she won’t want to act like she is, and will act how she wants to act. Surely pleasing the man who isn’t really her father would mean that much to her, would it?
