What am I getting myself into....

I had actually decided to take a Taxi to school this morning, since I never actually have taken one before.
The Taxi driver was getting ready to ride into the schools entrance, but I stopped him.
"You can stop here" I told him.
"You sure?" He asked, but he stopped anyways. I nodded my head, grabbed my backpack, and then payed the man.

I got out of the taxi and started walking.
I had been thinking real hard about everything that had happened this weekend. Dylann kissing me, and then me finding out that Audra went out with Dylann.
I don't want to lose Audra as a friend, her friendship means so much to me.

But then again I don't want to lose Dylann..

I walked by a silver car and looked at my reflection in the mirror. I was wearing a really cute outfit today! I had on Jean short shorts, a pink and white spaghetti strap shirt that had flowers on it with a white undershirt, and pink converse shoes. My hair was curled and I was wearing a white Fadora hat. I adjusted my hat and then walked up to the school.

People were skateboarding down the sidewalks, some people were doing flips, and some people were just chilling out and waiting for the bell to ring. I noticed a bunch of posters that said "Back to school Dance!"
A DANCE!!!!???

I saw Audra and she waved for me to come over. Kaylynn, Kylie, and Haylee were also hanging out with her.
I sighed and walked over to them, Kaylynn hugged me and whispered in my ear "Don't talk about you and Dylanns kiss.."
Then we started talking about what girls talk about. Make up, Jewelry, clothes, the VMA awards, ect.

Then I saw Dylann, he was walking straight to me. Any other time I would be totally excited BUT not this time, since Audra was standing RIGHT NEXT TO ME!

He smiled and hugged me as he said "Hi" to me.
I hugged him back lightly, and then I said "what are you doing here?"
Audra gave Dylann a mean look and said "YEAH! What is he doing here?"

"Well Audra, I was coming to ask Rebecca something!" He snapped and then looked at me.
"What?" My eyes got big.
"Well I was wondering if you wanted to-" he started to say and then Kaylynn butted in and said "Hey girls, how about we go get a coffee from the Starbucks stand!" They all agreed and then walked away.

I mouthed "Thank you" two Kaylynn as she went by.

"So what were you saying?" I asked him.
"Well I was wondering if you wanted to go to the Back to school Dance with...me?" He smiled, his cheeks were turning red.
I said "YES!" Before I could even think about what Audra would think about me going with him..
"Cool!" He nodded and then he took my hand and held it. He moved in to kiss me, but I dunked and said "Sorry! I have a really bad cold. We probably shouldn't kiss because of that" I fake coughed. I didn't want anyone to see us kiss because then they might tell Audra!

"Oh okay.." Dylann said and then he waved and walked away.

I sighed and sat down, I put my head in my hands and sobbed.

What am I getting myself into? Do I want Audra to completely flip out on me!!!?

Our little Secret...

So of course we had gotten in trouble for making an even BIGGER mess in the Art Room.
Why wouldn't we? I take full blame for what happened, I was the one that started it by taking the paint brush away from Dylann.
But we both got in trouble, which means Detention everyday for two more weeks! Yeah...that sucks..

But I don't care! The best thing happened to me that day, which was kissing the wonderful Dylann Newmann!!
I had no idea he was into me, and I kinda had no idea I was into him..

This morning I walked over to one of my closest friends which was Kaylynn Woods condo. She lives in the same complex I live in. Out of all my friends, Kaylynn and I have become the closest.
Knocked on her door and skipped in when she opened it.
"Well your happy this morning!" Kaylynn said then she took a sip of her Coffee.
I laughed and said "You have no idea.."
"Hmm?" Kaylynn was confused.

"Well on Saturday remember how I had to clean up the art room with Dylann? Well..." I started to say, and then I explained everything to her.

Her eyes got big and her jaw dropped when I got to the kissing part.
"No! No, no no, this isn't good! Ooooh, this isn't good Rebecca!" She started gulping her coffee down.
"Why isn't that good? Aren't you happy for me?" I asked her, a little confused.

"I'am! Oh trust me, I'am. BUT Audra probably isn't going to be quit happy..." Kaylynn said as she got up and poured herself some more coffee
"Why wouldn't she be?" I laughed, trying to get Kaylynn's attention.
"Oh Rebecca, you have no idea! Audra....well she use to go out with..Dylann!" Kaylynn frowned.
Now my jaw was the one that dropped, "She did!" I screamed.
"Shhh!" Kaylynn hissed, "Yes she did! That's why she hates him so much, apparently Dylann broke her heart. But I think that's a bunch of lies because she was the one who broke up with him!"

I started fanning myself because all of a sudden I started sweating, "What am I going to tell her?" I asked.
Kaylynn shrugged and sipped her coffee and then said "Don't tell her about it, it will just be between us! Our little secret.."
"But she's going to find out! Word travels fast around Westbrook Academy.." I whined, I'am so going to get it.
"No! Just don't tell anybody, and make Dylann promise to not tell anyone either. You do NOT want Audra to know. One time Renee started going out with Audra's old ex-boyfriend Michael. And ever since Renee's life has been different, Audra and her are like enemies now!" Kaylynn explained to me.

"Who's Renee?" I had no idea who that was.
"EXACTLY! Nobody knows what happened to her, some people say she moved. Audra knows people! For goodness sake, her parents are Broadway producers and own 3 theaters! She knows people.." Kaylynn grabbed my shoulders.

My eyes got big, what if the friendship between Audra and me turns out like her friendship with Renee?!?

Fireworks

-Brittany: This is an Early post BECAUSE I wont be home tomorrow to write it or post it!!-

So I had to have 3 hours of detention on Thursday and Friday.
Now, its the day I have been dreading....
The day I have to clean up the art room with Dylann..

I put on a pair of purple sweat pants, and then put on a white and purple aeropostale shirt.
I was looking very chill today, I didn't even bother putting makeup on or making my hair pretty. Instead I just put on some lip gloss (since my lips were feeling VERY dry) and I put my hair in a high pony tail.

Then, I walked downstairs and my limo driver, Leah, called and said she was here to pick me up.
----------------------------------------

When we arrived at school, I got out of the limo and dragged myself to the art room.
This was NOT going to be a very fun day..

I opened the art room, and it wasn't surprising that Dylann wasn't there yet.
The Art room was A MESS! Whoever was in that fight was really good at making such a big mess!
"Good morning miss Rubin!" The art teacher, Mrs. Rae, smiled. She was always nice.
"Morning.." I groaned.
"Dylann isn't here yet, but you can get started. I need you to pick up all the paint brushes that are all over the floor, and wash the paint off of them." Mrs. Rae said, I slowly picked up all the paint brushes. I already had paint all over my fingers.
Mrs. Rae put on the Radio, and we jammed out to some music. Which made the whole thing kinda better..

I heard the door open, I knew it was Dylann, so there I didn't even turn around.
"Sorry I'm late.." Dylann said to Mrs. Rae.
"It's alright. Rebecca will explain what you two are doing right now"  Mrs. Rae pointed towards me.
I rolled my eyes, I wasn't planning on talking to him..

I heard Dylann walking towards me. I picked up some more paint brushes and then quickly walked to the sink to wash all the paint off.
"Come on! You cant still be mad at me?" Dylann whispered when he walked to the sink. I guess he didn't want Mrs. Rae to hear our conversation. I rolled my eyes, I wasn't going to talk to him.
"Ugh, please Rebecca, talk to me!" He begged me. I shook my head and gave him some paint brushes to clean.
He started to clean the paint brushes.
"I get that your mad at me but, it was your choice to come! You could have said no!" Dylann tried to explain. I looked at him with big eyes, "I only went because you were practically pulling me!"
"Yay! Your talking to me now" Dylann said and then he noticed my jaw getting tight, "Okay, but you could have slapped my hand and said NO!" he shrugged.
"Your so annoying!" I rolled my eyes.

"Psssh! You don't mean that"
"YES I DO!" I screamed.

Mrs. Rae looked at us and then shrugged and said "I have a meeting to go to, I will be back in about 30 minutes. Hopefully..." and then she walked out of the room.
I took a rag and started to clean the paint off the walls.
Dylann started to pick all the paper and stuff off the floor.

Then he walked over to a table that had paints, paint brushes and and some paper on it.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" I asked him, as he took a paint brush and dipped it into some blue paint.
"Just painting..." He shrugged.
"JUST PAINTING?! Were suppose to be CLEANING!" I yelled. "Calm down!" He rolled his eyes.
I ran over to him and took the paint brush from him and said "You cant do that! Now lets clean"
"Give me the paint brush!" Dylann held out his hand. I shook my head no.
"Give it to me Rubin!" He laughed, I shook my head no again. "Okay FINE!" He said as he took another paint brush, dipped it into the purple paint.

Then I couldn't believe what he did next!!! He took the paint brush that had purple paint dripping from it and painted a line down my face! I gasped and tried to move, which made it worse!
"HOW DARE YOU!" I screamed. "At least it matches your clothes.." He shrugged. I then painted some lines on his face. He looked at me with big eyes, I started to laugh.

Next thing you know, were painting each others face, well any skin part that was see able, and each others clothes.
Paint was splashing everywhere! All over the walls, the floor, EVERYWHERE!
I then came to reality and said "STOP!!!!"
"Why?" Dylann laughed. "We've made a even bigger mess!" I snapped and sat down on a chair and sulked.
I cried, "Were in SOOOO much trouble now!"
Dylann looked at me as he set down his paint brush, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have started this...I seam to start a lot of things!" He looked down at his shoes. I shook my head, "It was my fault to!" I cried.

Then suddenly one of my favorite Lady Gaga's song "You and I" come on the radio.
Dylann walked over to me and held out his hand. I looked up, my eyes were stained with tears and my face was a mess from the paint!
He smiled and said "Come on, take my hand", I smiled and took his hand.
He guided me to stand up and then we walked over to the middle of room.

He put his arm on my waist, and he put my hand that he was holding on his neck and put my other one on his neck to.
We started dancing slowly, we were both smiling at each other and laughing.

"I didn't know you were such a good dancer" I laughed, I was actually really surprised. He didn't seem like the dancing type.
"There's a lot you don't know about me.." He said slowly. Then his face came closer to mine.

His lips touched mine, he was kissing me!
It felt like fireworks were going off in my stomach!

Big Trouble

I rushed through my school and tried my hardest to get to my classroom before the bell rang.
I had woken up late and you know how it takes me FOREVER to get ready. I roughly brushed my hair with my fingers as the wind hit my hair.
I turned the corner and saw my classroom (room 506) all the way down at the end of the long hallway. I started to run, but then a teacher stopped me and yelled at me to "Stop running!"

How do these teachers expect you to get to your classes without running when your late!?
I saw Dylann and he smiled and tried to catch up with me.
"Hey Rebecca!" She said, not panting at all!
"Hi Dylann, I cant really talk right now. I have to get to my class.." I panted, my legs were burning from walking so fast. I don't think I have ever walked THIS fast!
"Aw but I have to show you something.." Dylann smiled big. "What?" I walked faster, the bell was getting ready to ring! I was surprised that Dylann could keep up with me.

"Its something I found!" He explained.
"But I have to get to class-" I said as the bell rang. I stopped walking and frowned. All that fast walking for nothing! "Come on, your all ready late for class" He begged me.
"What if we get caught and get in trouble? We don't have a hall pass.." I said, not knowing what to do.
"Were not going to get in trouble." He assured me, "Please! Its really cool..."

"Okay! If you insist.." I laughed, and followed him.

We walked down many hallways, and kept turning at lots of corners. Then we walked out a door, we were now outside the school. We walked down a pathway to a old looking building, we walked inside it.
"Are we almost there?" I pouted as I looked around for any teachers.
"Yes, actually were here!" Dylann smiled as he pointed to some stairs. I gave him a confused look.
We walked up the stairs, then there was a glass door. I gave him another confused look as he pushed open the door.
My jaw dropped...

It was a HUGE room full of Theater things. There was props, costumes, some cracked mirrors, and there was a huge stage on one side of the room.
"What is this?" I gasped as I ran over to a rack full of play costumes.
"Well this school opened in 1964, back then this was there Music room/ drama room. Then when there was HUGE storm, that completely ruined the school. So they re-built it, and they re-built a new drama room and Music room, they bought all new costumes, props, ect. since they had enough money. I guess they didn't think this was nice enough..." Dylann shrugged.

"I think this is WONDERFUL!!! How did you find it?" I looked around with wide eyes.
"I was late for class one day, and the teacher wouldn't let me in the classroom since I was late. So I started roaming around the school, and I found this place! I knew you would love it!" He smiled at me.

I walked over to a rack full of more costumes, I grabbed a very elegant looking princess dress. I slipped it on over my clothes.
I then walked over to one of the cracked mirrors, and twirled in front of it. I had no idea that Dylann was watching my every move.
Then, I twirled around and caught that he was staring at me. He quickly turned his eyes away.

I laughed and said "How do I look?"
He looked at me and smiled, "You look...Beautiful.."

My cheeks turned red and I turned away to look at myself in the mirror again.

Then we suddenly heard the door open.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?!?" Somebody yelled. I turned around and saw a lady with long blonde hair in a ponytail. PRINCIPAL JONES!!!!
"Uh..Uh..Nothing!" Dylann looked at from me to Principal Jones.
"Don't tell me your doing nothing. I've been following you two, I watched you two come in here! You both are suppose to be in your classes, NOT fooling around in the old Drama room! Can one of you explain to me why you thought it was OKAY to come here?" Principal Jones yelled and turned to me.

"Um..I-er-..I don't know.." I looked down at me feet.
"Your not allowed in here. This building is so old, it could collapse at any moment. Take that dress off Miss Rubin! You two are in BIG TROUBLE!" She snapped and pointed at Dylann and I with a bony finger.
"How Big?" I gasped as I took off the dress.
"Lets see, you guys have detention everyday for two weeks. AND you are both coming to school on Saturday, you shall help Mrs. Rae clean up the art room, since we had two people start a fights during art. There's Paint, paint brushes, and drawling utensils everywhere!" Principal Jones announced.

Dylann stood up to the Principal and said "Why can those two students who made the mess clean it up?"
I looked at him with big eyes, YOU CANT ACT LIKE THAT TOWARDS THE PRINCIPAL.
"BECAUSE I SAID SO MR. NEWMANN! I was going to make the students clean it up, BUT you two are much more in trouble. So I might as well make you guys do it!" Principal Jones smirked.
"NOW LETS GO!" She yelled and pointed for us to follow her out the door.

I gave Dylann an "I-so-hate-you-right-now-look" for making me come with him!

Horror Weekend (Part 3)

-PART 3 OF HORROR WEEKEND! Sorry its late! :(-

I walked slowly upstairs. With each step I took, I got closer and closer to that room that my mom ran into after I told her off.
I got an image in my mind of me telling her off and her running upstairs with tear stained eyes.

Once I got to the door, I knocked on it lightly. I heard my mom crying.
I knocked on the door again and said "Mom, can I come in, Please?". I didn't hear a yes or a no, so I decided to go in anyways.
I opened the door slowly and walked in "Mom, can we talk?". I felt like a mom trying to talk to her daughter..

"I thought I wasn't considered your mom?" She snapped, and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand
"That was just the adrenaline talking, I shouldn't have said that" I got a tissue from the side table and handed it to her. I sat down on the bed, right next to her.
"Mom, I wanted to say I was sorry..I shouldn't have said all that to you." I looked down at my feet.

My mom looked at me and said "Why do you hate me so much?"
I wanted to say "WHERE SHOULD I BEGIN?" But I decided to be a little nicer.

"Well when I was little you ALWAYS took away everything I did, and you ALWAYS put my brothers before me!" I told her. "What do you mean?" She said.
"Well, once when I got an award for best Fairy in the Fairy Princess play in Kindergarten, You put it on the fridge. But then when Timmy got home and had a drawling he made of a truck, you took off my award and put the drawing on the fridge! That's wrong!" I explained to her. I wiped my eyes with a tissue, since I found myself crying like my mom.

"Sweetie! He's your little brother, him drawing a truck is a big deal to him!" My mom tried to tell me.
"No! Well yes, I know. AND GETTING AN AWARD IS IMPORTANT FOR ME! Ugh, anyways you should have put the drawing of his truck AND my award on the fridge!!!" I cried. My mom put her arm around me and hugged me.
"And that't not the only time you put my brothers before me..." I sighed.
"Tell me.." My mom cried.
"Well like when I left home, you didn't even TRY to get me back!" I sniffled.

My mom stopped hugging me and looked into my eyes.
"You don't think I tried to get you back?! TRUST ME, I did! I tried and tried but they kept telling me no. I'am still trying, but somehow I did know that you were never coming back. That's why when I found out about you living with your aunt, I rushed right over here as soon as I could. Because I wanted to make it right between us!" My mom explained and held my shoulders.

"Really?" I looked at her with tears in my eyes.
"Yes really, my Becky bug" She smiled.
"Becky Bug! I remember when you use to call me that.." I laughed.

"So is everything okay between us?" My mom asked with her fingers crossed.
"I don't know...." I sighed.


"WHAT!!!" My mom frowned.
"Just kidding! YES! Everything is good between us!" I laughed.
"You were always a good actress" My mom smiled big and then hugged me tightly.
I hugged her tightly, I sniffed the cinnamon smell that remember she always smelled like.
This feels.....like home...

Horror Weekend (Part 2)

-PART 2 OF HORROR WEEKEND!-

As we ate dinner it was very...well AWKWARD!
My brothers were sitting and whispering things to each other as they ate. My Aunt tried talking to them, she asked them how school was, how my dad was, and more.

My mom tried asking me some questions, since she was sitting right across from me..
She asked me what the play was about, how school was going, how my sisters Julie and Elizabeth are, ect.

I tried answering her questions with a kind voice and tried to be polite, but it was killing me!
This lady cant just act like nothing happened! Dylann looked at me and smiled kindly and whispered into my ear "be nice..."

Then my mom turned to Dylann and started asking HIM questions! Could this get any worse?
My mom asked Dylann who his parents were, what he liked to do, what he wanted to be when he grows up, and much MUCH more!

"And are you sure you and Rebecca aren't going out?" My mom asked Dylann. My mouth opened and I flung out of my chair.
"MOOOOOM!" I screamed. "What?" my mom asked innocently. My aunt, my brothers, and even Dylann looked up at me in shock.

"We are NOT going out! I already told you that!!! And plus, its non of your business!" I explained to her, I was ticked off!
"I just wanted to know, I think I have a right to know!" My mom snapped.
"No! NO YOU DON'T! You haven't been apart of my life for 7 years, you can't just come here and act like everything's OKAY! Its not, you were an awful mother! And I hate you for that!!! I thought I was done with you when child care services took me away, no I HOPED I was done with you. And as far as I'm concerned your not my mom, I have no mom!" I screamed at her, how dare she say she "has a right to know!" I have papers that say she doesn't.....

I was breathing hard, my throat hurt from screaming, and my head started pounding.
Linda (my mom...) got up out of her seat with tear filled eyes and ran upstairs to the room she was staying in.

My brothers looked at me, hatred was in there eyes for yelling at our mom.
My aunt looked over at me with tight lips, her eyes were huge.
Then there was Dylann, poor Dylann.. He was sitting right next to me as I yelled at Linda.
I looked over at Dylann and said "you should probably leave.."

Dylann got up said "Goodbye" to my aunt and brothers.
Then he turned to me "I probably shouldn't have come..." he said.
"No! I happy you did, if it wasn't for Linda asking if we were going out..I probably would have never said what was on my mind!" I assured him it was okay. He hugged me and then he left.

I looked towards the stairs, the same stairs my...Mom ran up crying..
I knew I had to say sorry, I just didn't want to right now.

I also knew what I had said to her was very mean, but I was happy I got it off my chest!

P.S. Part 3 should be posted tomorrow!!! :)

Horror Weekend (Part 1)

I woke up this morning sad, depressed, not happy, and most of all ANGRY!

I didn't want my mom and brothers to come here! I thought New York was a place for me to start over and get my life straight. This isn't a place for my mom try and say sorry! I kept telling myself "Its not going to work! I'm still going to hate her for what she did!"

My aunt called up the stairs saying "Rebecca! You better start getting ready, your mom and brothers should be here in a little bit. Then were going to have Lunch, I'm making all our favorites" My aunt seemed excited for this.
My mom name is Linda Rubin. My two AWFUL brothers are named Josh and Timmy Rubin. Timmy was about 7 now, and Josh was about 15 now. My aunt is my moms sister NOT my dads sister, if you didn't know! For some reason my mom wanted her kids to have HER last name, she's so controling!
No wonder my dad cheated on her with a Italian Women.....

I put jean short shorts on, a blue frilly babydoll top on. And I brushed my hair, so it was my natural wavy hair.
I didn't even bother putting makeup on.

I heard a knock at the door, I ran to my door and cracked it. It could be either Dylann or...my "family"
"Sis!" I heard a lady squeal. Okay, its NOT Dylann. I shut my door and sat on my bed, not really wanting to go outside of my room.

Then I heard my mom say "Where Rebecca?" Then I heard my aunt jogging up the stairs, she opened my door "Rebecca, there here!"
"Great...." I said slowly. "BE NICE!" My aunt warned me. I put on a fake smile and went downstairs slowly.

That's when I saw my mom, She looked just like me. Her wavy bouncy hair was glowing, her hazel eyes, and she actually had on a really cute outfit! Looks like she's made her style a little better. I remember when I left her, she always wore jeans and stupid plain colored shirts.

"REBECCA!!!!" She smiled and rushed to me, then hugged me.
"I've missed you sooo much sweetie!" My mom hugged me tightly.
"Hi mom.." I rolled my eyes.
She stopped hugging me and pointed to my brothers "Remember your brothers Timmy and Josh?"
I nodded my head, Timmy looked like a mix between my mom and my dad. He had light brown hair, brown eyes, and big chubby cheeks.
My brother Josh looked alot like my dad! He had black hair, big brown eyes, and a little bit of freckles on his cheeks.
They smiled and hugged me.

Then the doorbell ringed. "Who could that be?" my aunt wondered.
"I got it! I invited somebody over..." I rushed to the door. "YOU WHAT!" My aunts eyes got big.
I opened the door and saw my Dyla-er um..Dylann!

"Hi" he smiled, his dimples came out when he smiled. He was wearing jeans and a black button down short sleeve shirt. His hair looked so cute, it was all messed up but in a completely cute way! WAIT- what am I saying!
"You look nice" I told him and jestured for him to come in. "You do to!" he looked down at his shoes, he seemed a little nervous.
"Don't be nervous! Your only meeting my aunt, my brothers, and my freaky mother" I laughed. He nodded his head.

We walked into the room where everyone was sitting.
"This is Dylann Newmann!" I announced to my family.
"Aw!! Rebecca he is so cute, is that your boyfriend?" My mom asked, my brothers giggled a little bit. And my aunt was just sitting down trying not to laugh.
"NO!" I assured them.
"Uh..Yeah what she said." Dylann looked moved his head in all different directions, looking at the condo.
"Nice Condo!" He told my aunt Lucy.
"Thanks Dylann" She smiled at him.

"Dylann is the producer of the Broadway play I'm going to be in son. I actually use to dislike him, but I've learned to like him now. We've actually become very close.." I explained to them. Dylann looked at me and we met eyes.
"Lunch is almost ready! Rebecca can you help me bring the sides out to the table?" Lucy asked, I nodded and followed her to the kitchen.

"You told Dylann he could come over!" She hissed at me once we got into the kitchen.
"Yes..." I said slowly.
"Why would you do that? I dont mind him being here, but he has to be here while your mom is? Your mom is trying to make everything okay, and having him here is going to ruin that!" Lucy explained as she put the mashed potatoes in a bowl.

"Lets get something straight, NOTHING is going to make me forgive her!" I snapped as I took out the green beans.
"Ugh Rebecca! Why do you hate your mom so much?" She asked me as she rolled her eyes.
"BECAUSE when I was little, every single creative thing I had OR wanted she took it away from me! Its like she didn't want me to become what I wanted, she just SOOOOO controlling! And I would always get grounded for thing that those freaking boys out there did!!! It wasn't fair, its like she liked them for then she liked me!" I explained to my aunt, I felt like I was going to cry. NO! Don't cry!!

My aunt sighed and rolled her eyes.
"And by the way, Dylann is here because he's nice enough to come here for me, For support!" I said as I grabbed the bowl of mashed potatoes and brought them out to the table.

~Rebecca~

P.S. Part 2 will probably either be posted today or tomorrow (or maybe the next day) it depends on if I have time..

Friday, August 12, 2011

This should be interesting...

Over the past couple days, I have become very close with Kaylynn, Kylie, Audra, and Haylee. And I have become quit close to Dylann too! Ever since he's said sorry, we've kinda been unseperable. Audra disaproves me hanging out with him though, I'm not sure why she hates him soooo badly??

I woke up this morning, refreshed and ready for the weekend! I had plans with Kaylynn, Audra, Kylie, and Haylee. We were going shopping and then the movies on saturday!

I walked down stairs, I had to eat breakfast and then I was off to school.
"Rebecca, I need to tell you something.." My aunt said to me as I ate my breakfast. She came and sat down across from me.
"What?" I asked as I dug into my breakfast.
"Well, your..er...mom is coming over this weekend.." My aunt said slowly. I was about to take a bite out of my bagel, but I dropped it as I said "WHAT!!!!"

"Your mom is coming, and your brothers. Now I know your not a big fan of your mother! But you guys need to settle your differences! Your mom called me yesterday and found out that you were now living with me, she would LOVE for you to see her and your bothers, and she really wants to settle this!" My aunt Lucy explained.
"Ugh!!! She's coming THIS weekend?" I hissed, rolling my eyes. My aunt nodded her head.
"But I'm going shopping and goin to the movies with my friends this weekend!" I snapped.

"Well your going to have to take a rain check on that! I think seeing your family would be a little bit for important.." Lucy stared at me, her hazel eyes piercing into my eyes. I looked away from her.
"Why isnt my dad coming?" I asked as I pushed my eggs around my plate with my fork.

"Why would your dad come with your Mom? That would be REALLY bad!" My aunt laughed.
"What do you mean?" I was confused.
"Well they dont really like eachother anymore.." Lucy shrugged.
"But why are they married if they dont like eachother?" I asked, still confused. Then my aunts jaw dropped and her eyes got big. "No one ever told you!" She gasped. "Tell me what?" I asked.
"Rebecca, sweetie, your parents have been divorced..for about 8 years now!" My aunt told me. My eyes got big.
"OMG!!! N-n-nobody t-told me that!" I could barely talk. Lucy came over to me and hugged me.
"Why did they get divorced?" I asked. "Your dad was cheating on your mom with some Italian women!" My aunt shook her head.
"We go to go!" I stood up, I didnt want to talk about this anymore!
My aunt then drove me to school
------------------------------------------------

When I got to school, I saw Dylann talking to his friends. I rushed over to him and pulled him away. He started to say "Hey! Stop it!" and then he relized it was me, "Oh it you, whats up?"
"I have to talk to you, NOW!" I needed to express on the feelings that were bundling up inside me about my parents.
"Okay, you want a coffee?" He asked since we were standing by the Starbucks Coffee stand. I nodded and told the person that I wanted a "Vanilla Bean Frappucino"

Then I explained everything to Dylann, stopping every once in a while to take a sip of my Frappucino.
Dylann would say "Oh woooow!" and "Thats Crazy!" and also "I cant believe this!"

"And why do you hate your mom?" He asked. Then I explained to him why I hated my mom as he nodded his head.
"And my mom and brothers are coming THIS freakin weekend! Which totally ruins my plans for the weekend!" I frowned.
"Well...if you wanted...I could come over tomorrow while your moms there, you know.....for support!" He shrugged.
"Really! You would do that? Even if my moms a complete freak!" I smiled at him.

"Yeah...I would!" He smiled down at me, since he was at least 4 inches taller than me.


This weekend should be.....Interesting!

~Rebecca~

P.S. If you dont know why I hate my mom, it will all be explained in my next post! :)

Westbrook Academy (Part 2)

-READ PART 1 IF YOU HAVENT!!!-


I went to Homeroom with Haylee.
After Homeroom I had Science.

I had gotten lost, so I was five minutes late.
When I walked into the science room, they had already started.

"Sorry! I got lost" I frowned.
"Its alright, this is a big school!" A young black haired women smiled. She looked about 25 years old.
"I'm guessing your, Miss Bryer?" I asked.
"Yes, Umm..it looks like everyone already has a science partner.." Miss Bryer looked around.
I looked around and saw Audra. I waved and she waved back smiling.

"Well, theres one kid that hasnt gotten here yet.." Miss Bryer shrugged and looked through her book for the persons name.
"Its...Ah here he is!" She pointed to the door and in came a boy that was VERY familiar!

He stopped walking.
"Rebecca!" Dylann Newmann said surprised.
"Dylann..." I frowned.

"So you know eachother! GOOD! You two are science partners" Miss Bryer smiled, she didnt know I wasnt a big fan of him.
"Yay" I snorted.
I walked two an open table in the back, Dylann followed me.

"This SUCKS!!" I basically screamed. Audra was sitting at the table across from us. She looked over at me and stuck her tounge out at Dylann. I couldnt hold my laughter in, I started to laugh.
"Why are you laughing?" Dylann asked me, smiling. Miss Bryer had to walk out of classroom to talk to one of the kids.

"I'm laughing because...Um.." I couldnt tell him because it was cause Audra stuck her tounge out at him. So I said "Because thats the first time I've actually seen you smile. You usually always do that half smiled, which is like a smirk"
Dylann rolled his eyes and smiled BIG, "Happy?" he laughed.
"Very!" I nodded.

"Um..I wanted to tell you something, so I guess thats its luck that were sitting by eachother.." Dylann looked at me. I turned and looked at him, his green eyes were piercing!
"What did you want to tell me?" I asked him.
"Well, I was pretty mean to you a couple days ago at the theater, and I wanted to say I was sorry" Dylann anounced. My eyes got big, but all I did was nod my head.
"And you were just trying to help me, I shouldnt of acted like a brat. Its just that my dads being REALLY annnoying lately. And my relationship with my dad is like basically ruined.." Dylann's eyes seemed like they were starting to water.
"Oh Dylann, its okay! I understand, me and my dads relationship is ruined too! Well my relationship with my mom is ruined too" I frowned, thinking about my parents.

"My dad doesnt understand why I want to be an artist! He doesnt think thats manly, and it just annoys me because thats what I wan to be when I get older. I want my dad to be proud of me, but it seems like he's not. And thats all because I'm not following in his footsteps!" A tear came down from Dylanns eyes.

I wiped the tears off his face real quickly so no one would see.
"Its okay.." I smiled at him. He looked up at me and smiled.
"So lets get off this sad train" I laughed and said "Hows your girlfriend, Madisyn?"

I couldnt believe I just asked that!!!! Why did I want to know?

"Ugh! Dont get me started, she broke up with me because she didnt get the part of Mia in my fathers play! You did.." Dylann sighed and started to draw stuff in his notebook.
"Well I'm sorry that she broke up with you, but I'm not sorry that I got the part!" I shrugged.
"You shouldnt be, I said some mean things about you. Stuff that I wish I could take back.." He started to say.
"I know!" I said.
"How do you know?" He asked, confused. My mouth dropped, I couldnt tell him that I was ease dropping on his conversation with his dad!

"Um..Someone told me.." I decided to say. Dylann still looked confused, but then shrugged.
"I'm sorry! I just havent been myself lately..." Dylann started to say.

"WAIT! How do you do that?" He asked.
"Do what?" Now I was the confused one.
"Make me tell you all kinds of stuff that I wouldnt even tell Madisyn, or even my closest friend!" He looked at me and we met eyes.

I shrugged and smiled, then Miss Bryer walked in.


This is going to be a good school year!

Westbrook Academy (Part 1)

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock going off. I got up quickly and rushed to my bathroom.

I had to look wonderful today. Why you ask? Well today is my first day of school! I brushed my teeth combed my hair a bit and went straight to my closet.

I searched through my clothes, looking for the perfect outfit. Apparently this school is full of kids with fashion designer mothers/ and or dads. And everyone wears fashion designer clothes.

I picked out the perfect outfit which was a pink and white sequins off the shoulder shirt, a white skirt, and Pink flatts (which are shoes! lol). I liked the outfit because it expressed who I was a pink LOVER! and a Sequins LOVER!!!

I brushed my hair a little better and curled it. Then I put a white headband on my head, I put a little bit of mascara on. Then foundations, blush, and eye shadow. And lets not forget the lipgloss!!!
I put my little poutch of makeup in my light pink backpack. I looked at my backpack, which had "Rebecca's Backpack" in hot pink sequins on it.
I smiled and walked downstairs, with my backpack in my hand.

"Good morning Becky" My aunt yawned and gave me a plate filled with my breakfast. I was having pancakes, grits, eggs, and sausage! And freshly squeezed orange juice.

As I was eating my breakfast I thought about my sisters in Florida, who were also starting school today.
They were probably having breakfast right now. I smiled, I would have to call them later today. I havent talked to them since friday.

My aunt looked ather iphone and said "we better get going!" I finished up my last piece of sausage. I put my plate in the sink, grabbed my backpack, looked at my hair in the mirror, and then walked out the door.

We walked out into the lobby, Mark the doorman held the door open for us.
"First day of school miss Rubin?" Mark asked. I nodded and smiled.
"Well good luck!" Mark smiled, I said thanks and then we ran to the parking lot.

My aunt didnt want us to take the limo to school this morning. So we climbed into my aunts black Cadilac escalade.
We drove to school, which was about 10 minutes away.
____________________________________________

We pulled into the schools parking lot. My aunt smiled at me and said "Here it is! Westbrook Academy"
I sighed and said "ITS SOOOO BIG!" I swear, it was like a big colorful Donald Trump building!

The school had 3 floors, and there was 3 school buildings.
Everyone was wearing colorful clothes and designers clothes. There was skateboarders going back and forth. Some people were dancing, some guy had his radio out and everyone was listening to music. Some people had coffee's in there hands and just chatting around the waterfall in the front of the school.

"Well u should be going" Aunt Lucy said as she looked around.
"Okay! Bye!" I jumped out of the Escalade.
"Have a nice day" Lucy laughed as I walked away. I waved to her as she pulled away.

I looked around as I walked to the front office.
The front desk lady smiled to me as I walked in.
"Hi!" She said with enthusiasm.
"Hello! I'm here for my schedule" I smiled at her politely.
"Okay, first, middle and last name, and grade" She asked me.
"Rebecca Rae Rubin, 7th Grade" I told her. She looked through a bunch of papers and pulled out a paper.

"Here you go Rebecca! I'm Mrs. Lite. You get 20 minutes to socialize before you go to homeroom every morning. We believe it makes teens talk less during the day" She explained to me.
"Cool! Thanks" I said to Mrs. Lite and then walked out of the front office.

I didnt know anybody here, which made it kinda hard to socialize.

"MOVE!" Some guy yelled from behind me. I turned around and some guy drinking a coffee and riding his skateboard slammed into me.
I fell to the floor, and his coffee spilled all over me.
The guy snorted and said "I told you to move!" and kept riding his skateboard, circling me.

For girls ran over to me and helped me over.
"JERK!" A girl with Blonde hair yelled at the boy. The boy shrugged.
They helped me up and rushed me to the bathroom.

Once we were in the bathroom I looked at myself. My shirt was stained with coffee, my hair was all messed up and I had a slight bruise on my face.
I started to whine. "Why does this stuff happen to me!?" I cried.
"Dont cry, it will make your mascara run!" The Blonde haired girl warned me. I quickly stopped.
"Do you have some extra makeup?" A red head girl asked me.
I nodded and pointed to my backpack. She walked over there and got my pouch of makeup out.

"I'm going to go get an extra shirt for her from my locker, since it looks like shes about the same size as me" A dark skinned girl smiled and walked out of the bathroom.

All the other girls starting re-applying my makeup, they put alot of foundation on my face to cover up my bruise that was forming.
The dark skinned girl walked in with a pink off the shoulder shirt.
"I got this because it kinda looks like the shirt you have on" She smiled and gave it to me.
I walked into a stall and put it on. I came back out once it was on.
"Some of the boys that go here are such JERKS!" The red haired girl laughed and rolled her eyes.
"Esp. That boy that knocked into you, his name is Lance THE JERK!" The blonde haired girl said.

"Ummm..Girls. I dont think we've introduced ourselves" A dirty blonde haired girl said.
"Oh! I'm Kaylynn Woods, my moms a model" The Blonde haired and Green/blue eyed girl said, I could see she had a little bit of freckles.
"I'm Kylie Jones, my moms a fashion designer" The Dark skinned girl said. She had black hair, goldish colored eyes.
"I'm Audra Miller, both my parents own 3 theaters and there both broadway producers" Audra smiled. She had naturally wavy hair, bright green eyes, and her face looked a little heart shaped.
"And I'm Haylee Parker, my moms a broadway hairstylist and fashion designer" Haylee explained. She had aque colored eyes, and a little bit of freckles on her nose.

"Nice to meet you guys! I'm Rebecca Rubin, my aunts a fashion designer, I live with her. And I'm staring in a broadway play" I smiled.
There mouths dropped. "Who's the producer?" Audra asked me.
"Logan Newmann" I told them.
"Omg! He's wonderful! My father has worked with him! My father says he's soooo fun" Audra explained.
"His son goes to school here" Kylie rolled her eyes and stuck her tounge out. I was going to ask about him some more but then Haylee looked at my schedule.

"Omg! We have homeroom and voice lessons together!" Haylee told me. Audra grabbed the schedule and said.
"We have math, science, and dance together" Audra smiled, then Kaylynn grabbed my schedule.
"We have gym, language arts, and history together" Kaylynn looked over my schedule, Kylie then grabbed it.
"Umm...We have History, Fashion class, and we all have lunch together!" Kylie anounced.
"YAAAY!" I beamed, as Kylie gave me my schedule

DING! DING! DING!
"Thats the bell! We better get going to homeroom" Haylee grinned and held out her hand arm. I grabbed it and we walked to homeroom.


I think these girls and I can become very close friends(:

Followers: 43!

-A POST BY BRITTANY!-

So this post goes out to all my/Rebecca's wonderful followers!!!

I wanted to have a post about how much I love and appreciate my followers!
_____________________________________

So I looked at my blog today and saw that I had another follower! So that means I have 43 followers!
I know thats not alot compared to some peoples blog, but whatever! I'm still HAPPY to have that many!

I remember when I started this blog! Not even a single follower, but then I got my first. I was sooo happy.
I dreamed about getting up 43 followers! I never thought I would get up to this!

"Yeah, maybe I'll get like 20" I would say to myself.

I remember my first post, not really knowing what I was doing! :p
I have gone through changes, my writing has changed, and I'm so happy you all have stayed with me!
I do remember when I lost like 2 followers! I was devestated and was thinking about not writing Rebecca's blog anymore!
But then I thought to myself "You know what! So what! You LOVE to write and blog, so why does it matter if you lost TWO followers!"

I did close Julie and Elizabeths blog (and had closed this blog for like 2 days! haha) but thats because I didnt have enough time to have THREE blogs (I'm not sure how some people can handle having like 5 blogs!)
And I would push myself to write on there blogs, I didnt want to do that anymore.

And Plus I felt like Julie AND Elizabeths blog was getting know where! I had also thought that of Rebecca too!
But then I got a great idea for Rebecca's (her going to new york. Kinda having a new life) and I knew I had to open Rebecca's blog back up! (And Plus Rebecca's blog had more followers that didnt want her to go!)
________________________________________

I want to thank all my followers for staying with me through all this!
I love ya'll so much!
If I could name every single one of you I WOULD!

Rebecca is also very thankful of you! hehe :)

Thanks for reading!

She's an Embarrassment

I got a call from Logan Newmanns assistant today. She said that Mr. Newmann wants everyone who tried out for parts in the play, to come to the theater so he would announce who got the roles!

I quickly got dressed in a cute outfit and put my hair up in a braid.
I grabbed my purse and then my aunt and grandma (who spent the night with us last night) and then we got a ride from Leah.
______________________________

When we arrived at the theater, I quickly got out of the limo and ran towards the entrance.
Then I slowed down and tried to act professional.

"Remeber Rebecca, dont get your hopes up!" Part of my mind told me. But the other part of my mind said "BE CONFIDENT! You got this!"

We sat in seats close to the stage, and I sighed. "Be confident, but dont get your hopes up" I kept saying in my head.

I noticed in the corner of my eye that Dylann and Madisyn was walking threw the entrance.
I turned around to watch them, but acted like I wasnt.

They were HOLDING HANDS! I strike of pain went through my stomach..What! Why did it do that?
I hadnt gotten that strike of pain since I saw my ex-boyfriend Jeff for the first time!

I shook the thought out of my head and looked around. I noticed Dylann staring at me as he walked by.
Our eyes met and I frowned. He smirked and held Madisyns hand tighter.
They sat RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!!!

I rolled my eyes and tried to not focus on them as they were being all kissy and cuddling.

I saw Mr. Newmanns assistant come out from behind the curtain.
"Thank you for coming! New Logan Newmann will anounce who is in the play!" The assistant started to applaud and then everyone started to as he came out from behind the curtain

"Thank you all for coming! Now we will start naming everyone who is in the play...."

-The roles and people who are playing them-

Bryan Williams (Mia's father)- Kyle Harriot is playing him
Sarah Williams (Mia's mother)- Tiffany White is playing her
Luke Williams (Mia's younger brother)- Michael Hills is playing him
Sierra Conner (Mia's best friend)- Lily Knight is playing her
Mathew Martin (the broadway producer)- Tyler Kriss is playing him
Kaycee Rhodes (Mia's agent)- Lilian Merial is playing her

-Logan names a whole bunch of other people..-

"Now the role of the main Character, Mia Williams! Who will it be? Your questions is about to be answered.." Logan paused "Remember if you dont get the role of Mia dont be sa-"

"Come on! JUST TELL US ALREADY!" I heard Madisyn scream. Dylann looked at her with big eyes and whispered something in her ear.

Mr. Newmann looked DISCUSTED!
"Fine!" He frowned at Madisyn.
"The role of Mia goes too.............................................................................REBECCA RUBIN!!!" Logan anounced and smiled at me.
My mouth dropped and I screamed "OMG!" and hugged my grandma and aunt.

"HER! HER!" Madisyn exploded.
"Yes, her" Logan smirked.

"WHY? She's NOT as good as me! She's a wannabee! She doesnt even have enough experience!" Madisyn hissed and looked at me with daggers for eyes.
"Oh and like you do?" Logan laughed.
"DAD!" Dylann snapped.
"Yes I do! I was in 2 plays!" Madisyn frowned and put her hands on her hips.
"Madisyn honey, In one of those plays you only had ONE line! and in the other you were in the background" Logan shrugged and smiled nicely.

Madisyn looked around and saw how everyone was staring at her and laughing.
"UUGGGGGGGHHHH!" Madisyn screamed and pulled her hand from Dylanns and then stomped away.

Dylann chased after her and yelled "MADISYN! Come on!"

I giggled and saw that Logan Newmann was standing right next to me.
"Dont listen to a word that girl says! Your very talented, I'm delighted to have you as the part of Mia!" He told me and hugged me.


I was smiling from ear to ear!

Fight between father and son

I went back to the Theater on Friday for callbacks.

I noticed Madisyn Russo (The mean, Dylann Newmann girlfriend) was the first person to go, SHOCKER!
She had lovely really dark brown hair (it almost looked like black hair) and she had light brown colored eyes that almost looked golden colored. I could see a little bit of freckles on her nose but it seemed like she tried to hide them with a LOT of makeup..

I was, once again, the last one to go.
I tried my best to blow Logan Newmann and some of the other directors away.
I sang the song Skyscraper by Demi Lovato and then I did a little bit of Acting.
My aunt Lucy was there and so was my Grandma Sherley. And my agent Ashley was there also.

When I was finished I ran towards my grandma and hugged her. This was the first time I have seen her in about 5 years.
"Grandma!" I smiled and hugged her tightly.
"Rebecca sweetie! I havent seen you in forever! You've grown up so much" She hugged my tightly.
"All your grandma could talk about while we were in the car was how she couldnt wait to see her little Rebecca" Aunt Lucy laughed.
"You did GREAT Rebecca! I wont surprised if the directors pick you!" Ashley asured me and hugged me.
"Thanks Ashley" I grinned from ear to ear.

"We will call you tomorrow or the next day to tell you if you got in the play!" Logan Newmann told us all and then said we could leave.
"You can wait outside, I have to go get my bag from backstage!" I told my aunt and grandma. They nodded and walked outside.
I skipped up the stairs and then backstage. I was confident that I was getting the role of Mia!
But then again, Madisyn Russo was also pretty good. AND she's going out with the producers SON!
She was destined to get the part.

I grabbed my bag and walked towards the stairs to the stage.
Then I heard voices. I peaked outside the curtain and saw the Dylann and Logan Newmann were talking to eachother.
I looked at the door and then looked back at them. I wanted to know what they were talking about!
But I didnt want to be noisy.

"So Madisyn is getting the part right, dad?" I heard Dylann ask his dad. Okay, I had to listen!
"Um..well..I'm not sure.." Logan shrugged as he grabbed some papers.
"WHAT! I thought you said she would!" Dylann asked, shocked.
"Son, theres some people that kinda diserve the part of Mia more than Madisyn.." Logan tried to explain.
"LIKE WHO?" Dylann snapped and threw his hands up.
"Um..Like that Rebecca girl!" Logan told his son. My mouth dropped.
"OH MY GOSH!! You would pick that Rachel girl over Madisyn!" Dylann hissed, he sounded furious. Cant he remember that my name is REBECCA! NOT FREAKIN RACHEL!
"Its Rebecca. not Rachel" His dad started to walk away.
"Ugh! Whatever!" Dylann got infront of his dad, so he couldnt walk away.
"Dylann, I'm not going to give some girl the part of Mia, Just because she's your Bratty Girlfriend!" Logan snapped and rolled his eyes.
"BUT DAD!" Dylann rolled his eyes at his dad.
"Dylann Nicholas Newmann! Will you stop being a brat! I think your girlfriend is starting to rub off on you!" Logan tried to go around Dylann, but he wouldnt let him.

"DAD! If she doesnt get the part she will BREAK UP with me!" Dylann was sooo furious. My eyes got wide. WAIT, Why did my eyes get wide? I didnt care! I hated this guy!

"I'm thinking thats a good thing!" Logan said to his son.
"UGH! You know what I'm thinking?" Dylann hissed. "What?" Logan asked.
"THAT I HATE YOU!" Dylann snapped and stormed away from his dad.

"Dylann! Dylann! Get back over here! You will NOT say that you hate me, just because your stupid girlfriend isnt getting the part!" Logan was also furious. He ran towards his son, and tried to catch up with him. But Dylann was to fast..

I ran towards the door and walked outside.
WOW! That fight was intense.
Dylann must REALLY like this girl..


~Rebecca~

P.S. I start school on the 8th of August! I'm going to a school called Westbrook Academy for the performing Arts. But we learn other things besides performing arts also!
Ashley thinks it would be a good school for me(:
