| I stood back and stared at the piece of paper in my hand. My next assignment was to work with the Backstreet Boys. I groaned and fell back on my bed. Of course it wasn�t a big deal, but good Lord, I loved the Boys. I was a huge fan, especially of AJ and Nick. I reached over for the phone and dialed my best friend�s number. �Resa?� �Sup Megan?� �I have a very important question for you.� �Which is?� �Would you like to be my assistant?� �For what?� �A stylist of course.� �Sounds like a good idea. And who are you working on?� �The Backstreet Boys.� I pulled the phone away from my ear and waited for her to scream. After a couple seconds I heard nothing and put the phone back to my ear. �Resa?� I heard a click and a dial tone and then someone knocking on my door. I answered it and saw my best friend. �You�re fuckin� kidding me right? There�s like no way your working for the Boys?� �Read it.� I handed her the paper and she read it over. She screamed and threw her arms around my neck. �You know I would love to help you more then anything!� I laughed and hugged her back. �Good cause we leave in two days, so be ready.� �Of course.� I hugged my bag against my chest and watched Theresa jump up and down. I shook my head, seeing her act like a child was totally funny. Theresa had grew out of that stage, or at least I hoped she had. She was 22 years old, one year older then me and was finishing up her college. This was her summer vacation and she was preparing for the life ahead of her. Unlike me who was already starting my life. I was a senior in high school when I figured I wanted to become a stylist. I went to school and shortly after, people started asking me to work for them. I saw the bus pull up and I rolled my eyes. I said a quick prayer and grabbed my suitcases. The driver picked them up and sat them down on the bus. I climbed on and looked around me. This was nice. I heard Theresa gasp and glanced back at her. She nodded her head up ahead and I saw the Boys sitting there, talking about something. She pushed me and I smirked, knowing she was trying to get to the guys. �Hi,� she called out. The guys looked over at her and smiled. �Having fun?� she asked. They simply nodded their heads. �Great.� AJ finally stopped what he was doing and looked at her. �Hi, I�m AJ.� �I know who you are. I�m Theresa, though, everyone calls me Resa. And this isMegan. You�re new stylist.� �So, what are you?� �Her assistant.� He smiled but turned to look at me. He slowly took his glasses off and took me all in. �Nice, very nice indeed.� �Thanks,� I said. �Where can we put our stuff at?� �Let me help you.� �Thanks.� AJ grabbed my stuff and took it to the back. Theresa stood there and raised her eyebrow. She glanced down at her stuff and bent to pick it up. She groaned but lifted it up. She started following AJ when someone grabbed her arm. �Let me help you,� Howie said. She smiled but nodded her head. He headed down the back and put the suitcase down. �You guys pack light.� �Not really. We just know how to stuff it all in.� He smiled and nodded his head. �A girl with brains, I like that.� �I�m sure.� �Or would you know that too?� �The truth?� �Please.� �I knew that too. I�ll be the first to admit, I�m a huge fan of the Boys.� �Like anyone in particular?� �Yup.� �Who?� �Lance. Wait, wrong group. Um, Drew. Wait, I�m sorry.� Howie crossed his arms and looked at her. �I can�t tell you who I like.� �Why?� �Cause you would laugh at me.� �I�ve met teeny fans before.� �I�m not a teen, trust me, I�m legal.� He choked and looked at her, shocked. She smirked and turned to walk away. He grabbed her arm but she moved away. �Megan!� �What?� �Help me.� She laughed and ran back to see me and AJ talking. I looked at her and gave her an odd look. �Howie is picking on me,� she said, pouting. �Get over it girl,� I said. I got up and with AJ following, went back to the area where we first saw the boys. �Kevin, Brian, Nick and Howie, this is Megan. Our new stylist.� �Hey guys.� �Hi. It�s a pleasure,� Kevin said. �Pleasure is mine.� �Hey there, � Brian mumbled. �Is he okay?� I asked AJ under my breath. �Yeah. Just having a relationship problem.� �Oh, don�t tell Theresa that.� �Why?� �She�ll try to help. She doesn�t like to see anyone down.� �I�ll warn him.� �Are you two done so I can say hi,� Nick said. �I�m sorry Nick. How are you?� �Fine. And yourself?� �She�s nervous,� Theresa said. I rolled my eyes but looked at her. �Thank you Resa. Like your stomach is fine. I saw you flirting with Howie.� �And?� �I do know how much you like him.� Her eyes got wide and she stared at me. �So that�s who you like?� Howie asked. She gave me the death look but nodded her head. �That�s all I needed to know, thanks.� He laughed and went back to the project he was working on. |
