Theme Song: Ed Sheeran "I'm a Mess"
________________________________________________________________________________

Taylor stood there in the middle of cafeteria looking around for a place to sit.
She knew sooner or later it would come down to this. She was no longer the once so popular girl that ran the school halls.
And now that the whole school knew, they weren't going to show her mercy.


"Aww, look guys. She looks like a little lost puppy", Hailey teased as Taylor stood there looking lost.
"What a loser", said Hailey's boyfriend.
Fiona gave an evil grin, "You can't sit with us".
Then a familiar voice caught Taylor's attention, "Hey, hippie".


Anthony was turned in his seat looking at her, "Pull up a chair", he said nodding his head at his table.
"No..it's alright, I'll-", Taylor spoke but Anthony interrupted her.
"Quit being an idiot and sit down, jeez", He around finishing the conversation.
"He's so bossy", Taylor thought as she looked for a spare chair.


"Wait..are you serious? Don't you remember the tough time she put us through last year", Mimi said furiously.
"Yeah I do. But if I can forgive Kyle, then I think you can forgive Taylor", Anthony said.
"He has a point..she looks like she's changed, Mimi", Kyle said ignoring eye contact with Mimi.
"You too?!" Mimi shocked.
"Get over it", Anthony rolled his eyes, "You weren't the only one going through stuff last year".
Mimi stopped and remembered the thought of last year. Anthony was having a hard time after his mother's death.
And Taylor surely had to get away from town after what happened with her psycho brother, Riley.
Maybe it was finally time to let her redeem herself.


As Taylor sat down, Dylan greeted her, "Hey Blondie, nice haircut".
"Thanks", Taylor replied shyly, she was still not used to having her hair that short.
"What made you cut it?" Kyle asked. Taylor was surprised that he'd even look her way again after last years' quarrel.
"I guess because I wanted a fresh start", she replied.
"It's cute, Taylor", Mimi smiled at her, Taylor hesitantly smiled back.
She felt a chill as someone walked past the table.


No one was still paying Jenny any attention. Even when she had tried to approach them earlier.
She pouted as she walked out of the cafeteria. She'd rather go sit in the classroom than sit by herself at lunch.


Asia felt remorseful, she watched her best friend walking off by herself.
Deep down inside Asia wanted to let her in, but another side of her was still upset.

"Ugh, how much longer are they going to make us wait here? What could they be running their mouths about up there?" Dylan impatiently whined.


The boys were called to the studio in their gym clothes. They sat there wondering why they were needed to rehearse.
"Tell me about it, my arm has fallen asleep", Kyle said as he glared at Anthony.
It had been an hour since they arrived and Anthony had fallen fast asleep.
"He's always sleeping.." Eithen said in a disappointing tone.
"Yeah, but he's been busy with his family since he's been back", Flint said.
"You've got a baby too, I'm surprised you're not sleeping either", Dylan said.
"I'm used to it and I can put Cheyanne to sleep fast anyways", Flint proudly said.
"Okay boys, let's get this show on the road", said Tessa as she walked inside.


"What day? It's practically over", Eithen sighed.
"Yes, well its not over until you've completed today's task", said Tessa looking at her clipboard.
"Okay Tessa, give us the details already", Dylan said still impatient.
"Well as of today, you guys will come here everyday after school to rehearse for the upcoming iHeart Radio Festival. Since we've wrapped up your album, we plan to release it after the festival. An interview will be held afterwards, so you guys need to be on your toes no matter what.
Anthony, you will need a makeover because Keith said you look boring", Tessa looked at Anthony who was sound asleep,
"And Flint, you will tell the interviewer that you're single".
"Wait what?! Why?" Flint asked opposed.
"Because it makes us look unattractive to our fans that you're married", Eithen said.
"What Eithen said, I'll let you guys go", Tessa busily left the room.


"I think that's a bit too much", said Flint.
"Well we can't scare our fans off now just cause you're married", Eithen explained, "We got to sell our album".
"I get that but still-"
Flint was interrupted by a loud bubbly voice, "Okay boys! Get the hell up, we've got a lot of work to do. We haven't choreographed your new single yet".
Their choreographer, Justin was always strict and always smiling, "Chop, chop, wake your ASS up Anthony!".

"So I've seen you and Kyle decided to go on a little date the other day", said Grey.
"You've seen?" Mimi cautiously asked. Talking to Grey was like talking to a landmine.
"Yes, the paparazzi. They were about to make a fun little article about you two, but I was able to persuade them to change their mind", said Grey.


"Anyways, we've scheduled you to perform at the iHeart Music Festival. You will have an interview afterwards and likely they'll ask you about your date.
Deter them from that topic, the conversation should be about your upcoming album".
"Okay, got it", Mimi said.
"You've got rehearsals and a new single to record with Alex Bringer, from the group No Trouble", Grey continued.
"Oh yeah, Tessa told me that a month ago", Mimi informed her.
"Good and also..during the interview. You will tell them that you are single", Grey demanded.


"Why?" Mimi said disheartened. She wondered if this would bother Kyle.
"Because I don't want you to ruin Kyle's image", Grey faltered the conversation and returned to her desk.

♫ Yo, it's Different Doses
Comin' through, comin' from you live, you know
I'm just tryna figure out what you can be
'Cause uh, aye! ♫ Dylan sang the opening to their new single.


♫ You could be my teacher (where they at)
You could be my boss (where they at)
Oh, you could be my lover (where they at)
You could be my car (where they at)
Baby, I could drive ya, ohhh, anywhere you want (so so)
Ahh, you could be my teacher (where they at)
Oh yeah, you could be my boss (skrt) ♫ The boys sang the chorus in unison matching each others rhythm.

♫ So tell me your wish
I could do the night or the day shift
You could find my name on your playlist
Your favorite girl, yeah
And on the real tip (real)
Everything we do is the late shift
Meet me in your room or the basement
Escapin' girl, yeah ♫ sang Dylan.


♫ Like that Prada you stole
Put me on like your clothes
We can rock nice and slow
Yeah me and you, true ♫ sang Anthony.

♫ You could be my teacher (where they at)
You could be my boss (where they at)
Oh, you could be my lover (where they at)
You could be my car (where they at)
Baby, I could drive ya, ohhh, anywhere you want (so so)
Ahh, you could be my teacher (where they at)
Oh yeah, you could be my boss (skrt) ♫

♫ It's your birthday
Every single day it's your birthday
I can make you feel like Tinashe
In every way, yeah yeah
And when the beat drops
We'll keep on dancin' cause we can't stop
We'll be connected like a hotspot
I got wi-fi, girl ♫ Kyle sang his part seductively.

"What? No, I'm busy don't let anyone in my office", Grey said annoyed as she spoke to her secretary.
"But Miss Grey, he's already-"
"You don't look very busy to me", said a familiar voice.
Grey hung up the phone and stood from her seat, "What the bloody hell are you doing here?"


"What a cute pile of fan mail", he laughed.
"Do I need to repeat myself?", Grey barked.
"Whoa calm down now toots, don't beat me up just yet. The big guy asked me to come here to promote No Trouble", Rodrick said.
"Bullshit, I don't need your help", Grey retorted, "I'll let him know".
"Now, now..I don't think that's wise. You know he's not an easy guy to talk to", Rodrick said.
"Shut up, I know him much better than you do", snapped Grey.


"Oh right, daddy's girl. You and you're father need a Xanax", Rodrick laughed.
"You are the most annoying person I've ever met," Grey rolled her eyes, "Where are your boys?"
"They should be here soon", Rodrick smirked, "..Are you still mad that I signed them instead of you?"
"No, but I get mad that you bring it up every time we meet", Grey said.

♫ Putting my defenses up
Cause I don’t wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I’d have a heart attack ♫
Mimi and her backup dancers moved to the music as they rehearsed.
"That's it Mimi! You're doing great", Ash motivated her through the choreography.


♫ Never put my love out on the line
Never said yes to the right guy
Never had trouble getting what I want
But when it comes to you, I’m never good enough
When I don’t care
I can play ‘em like a Ken doll
Won’t wash my hair
Then make 'em bounce like a basketball ♫


♫ But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear high heels
Yeah you, make me so nervous
That I just can’t hold your hand ♫
"Ow Mimi! You stepped on my foot", cried Rio as he stopped dancing.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!", said Mimi examining his foot.

"I am wiped out", said Flint leaning back into couch.
"I'm about to join Anthony", said Kyle.
"Thank god, Mimi showed up right after us", sighed Eithen, "Or else we would've been trapped in there".
"I could use a drink", Dylan laughed.
"Me too", Eithen sighed.


"Wait you drink..like drink?!", Dylan asked surprised.
"Occasionally, yes", Eithen laughed, "Why is that surprising?"
"Because you're such a stiff", Flint impulsively spouted, "You called me fat the other day".
"I did not! Fat and lazy are two different words", Eithen argued.
"Yeah, he's right and we still don't know much about you", Kyle said.


"Yeah, well I've always kept to myself growing up", said Eithen, "What do you want to know?"
"You said you lived by yourself?" Dylan asked.
"Damn, how'd you pull that off?" Kyle said intrigued.
"You moved out? But you're younger than us!" Flint exclaimed.


"This looks like the place", said Alex walking inside with his bandmates.
They followed behind him into the studio, tired after a their flight all the way from New York. They had to check in with their manager
and follow their schedule. The next few months were going to busy for them.
"I'm so damn tired", said Max.
"Hey, don't forget we're going out tonight", Cameran reminded him.
"You're such a pain", Max complained.


"Man, after this we should take a trip somewhere", said Kyle.
"Oh, look what we have here", said Alex when he saw Different Doses sitting in the waiting area.
Alex and the boys decided to entertain them.



"Wait...they look familiar. Who are they?" asked Max clueless.
"Haha, quit being a smart ass. You know who we are, we are number one on the Billboard", said Eithen annoyed.
"Eithen? That you? Wow man, and to think you were going to be in our group until we rejected you", Cameran teased him.
Anthony opened his eyes as heard the conversation, "Who are these morons?"
"Okay, quit wasting my time with this pointless arguing. I really just wanted to know where Rodrick was", Alex explained.
"Yeah, same", Ruben finally spoke
"Do we look like a front desk to you?" Kyle said sarcastically.


"Wait..weren't you Jenny's boyfriend", Cameron said as he remembered Dylan.
"You again.." Dylan rolled his eyes annoyed.
"You know this guy?" Kyle asked.
"I'm glad she dumped you", Cameran winked, "She was boring to hangout with until then".
"Did you just fucking wink at me..?", Dylan was at his boiling point.
"Hey Dill, let's get out of here", said Kyle, knowing how bad of a temper Dylan had.
"Aw, is this your boyfriend?" Cameran joked. Kyle let Dylan go after his remark.
"Cameran, shut up already", Alex ordered.
"But he makes the cutest expressions-" but Cameran's sentence was cropped short.


Alex dove out the way, as Dylan swung his fist at Cameran's face knocking him over.
The boys stood there in awe as they watched Cameran falter to the ground unconscious.
"Well..at least somebody finally shut him up", Alex said without a care in the world.
"I think that means I can stay in tonight", said Max.
