The girls were hiding something—I just knew it.  I looked from one face to 
another, and knew they were feigning innocence.  I looked at the lads, and they 
had varying degrees of—impatience?  Yes, impatience—at least J looked genuinely  impatient.  Scott looked at Jules with mistrust, and with good reason I suppose.    Abs looked like he was planning to snatch whatever it was the girls were hiding.    And Ritchie was looking at Grace—naturally.  I looked at Jen with fondness in my  eyes.  It was natural that I would find her attractive, since J and I have similar  taste in women.  But it was hard to catch her attention, especially since she still  had feelings J.  She still wasn’t getting over he and Laura hooking up.  Now that  was and odd match—no one saw that coming.  At least all I could do was comfort  her until she got around my way of thinking.
     I couldn’t help but look at Grace again.  It wasn’t that I still had feelings for 
her, at least I hoped not.  She was just too confusing and manipulative as women 
go.  It’s just that, even as she had Ritchie, (which is the lad I thought she wanted 
all the time), her eyes always seemed to wander towards my direction.  Only this 
time they weren’t.  Were those loving looks that passed between Ritchie and her?   A momentary stab of jealousy passed through me.  No—I didn’t need any more  confusion about her!  Think Jen!  Think of the moment at hand!
Whatever they were hiding, I could probably guess if I tried, but just then 
something caught my eye.  It was on the stand behind us.  I was sure none of the 
lads spotted it, since their attention was on the girls.  It was a promo picture—the  type that we take all the time—only this time it was PARTYGURLS.  The girls were all  beautifully dressed in silver, with varying styles, upon a white backdrop.  The  surprising thing was that it showed their faces.  I figured that it was to be  unveiled after their first concert.  But if the other lads saw this before the girls  were ready to show them, they would be in for a shock of thieir lives.  Not that I wasn’t shocked myself when I found out.  Being in the same business  changes a lot, and here we thought they were normal college girls.  But it didn’t  matter, in any case.  Before any of the lads knew what I was doing, I took the  photos and hid them behind me.
 
 

     I looked from girl to girl, then my gaze rested on Julie.  If there weren’t 
enough secrets and betrayals going around—they all have to hide something else 
from us now!  Julie!  I thought she was mine!  I thought we were official!  We 
kissed in the park just this afternoon.  It was a kiss that meant more to me than 
all childish liaisons I’ve ever had in the past.  And in one moment with Abs, she 
dashes all away.  In spite of the indecision of her comrades, of her I thought I 
was sure of.

“I’m taking over this story!  It's dragging and personally it SUCKS!", she cackles.  "Surprised?  Didn't think it was me did you?”, she laughs again as she flicks her hair from side to side.  "It's always the quiet ones right that end up psychopaths you know!  They think Sean' s quiet?  HA!  Have we not been paying attention?!  I’m quiter than THAT BOY!  ME!  I’m the one that doesn’t talk!  Have I gotten many perspectives in this story?  No.  Do they let me talk about N*SYNC? No!   This is a FIVE story we can’t have NSYNC in a FIVE story!  Well I’m tired of being the unappreciated member!  I’m tired of “I don’t have to wear any make-up and still look good” Grace!  And for the record: Blue was MY favorite color first damn it!  She stole it!  I’m tired of being pushed around by Jen the “group leader”!  I’m tired of the musical genius that is Michelle!  And screw Jules’ perfect hair!  I’m tried of being the LANCE of this GIG!  NSYNC needs Lance’s deep voice and Partygurls needs ME! Where would they be if I didn’t come up with my good ideas?  I’m the one who suggested they go to the stupid Boys of Summer Concert in the first place!  ME!  ME!  If it wasn’t for me there would have been no meeting Five!  There would be NO STORY!  I tried to be subtle.  I put little suggestions here and there to move the fiction along!  I made this tale  exciting!  I put in twists!  I made it dramatic!  If it wasn’t for me we’d have one of those sorry stories like that one movie with Freddie Prinze Jr. in it….you know HEAD OVER HEELS?  God that was an awful movie!   HELL.  I’m the whole damn story!  So now FUCK you all.  We’re going to tell it like it should have been told in the first place!  MY WAY!….This is going to be what it was meant to be: An ode to some prolific writers.  This is going to be a tribute to some of the greatest minds that words have ever seen.  I’m taking about the geniuses that are BEN AFFLECK AND MATT DAMON.  Long live the screenplay!"

Is this finally the end?  Has the ranting stopped!  Are we really over?
