Chap 1

*Talia's POV*

"Emma it's your turn" Giana said in excitement.

We were inside of our school's assembly hall playing an exciting game of spicy truth or dare and playing some music. The steam was growing as we were all getting spicy dares and ridiculously dangerous questions.

"Emma, Truth or Dare?" I asked in a serious yet playful voice.

"Dare" She blurted out as soon as I got the question out.

I thought about it for a moment tapping my chin as I racked my brain for the perfect dare, then a mischievous grin spread across my face. Why not push the limits? Emma could handle it. "Okay I've got it, I dare you to sext a random person for 10 minutes straight then ask for nudes" I said, already imagining the look on Emma's face.

"OMG Talia that is so crazy"

I started to laugh extremly hard as Emma did her dare. Just as Emma finished her dare, a tall figure walked in. I could hear the footsteps and see the shadows coming in but I didn't bother to look who it was.

"I guess it's your turn" she said smirking at me.

It was as if God was on her side as her smirk grew wider as she glanced at the newcomer, a mischievous glint in her eye.

"What hurry your scaring me, just tell me" I said in a slightly annoyed voice.

"I dare you to KISS HIM" she said pointing at the person who just walked in.

As I turned to look I couldn't beleive my eyes. His tall muscular figure was strong even from back.

"But I have a boyfriend" I said but got up anyways.

I went over to him and tapped on his shoulder so he could turn around, he seemed to be talking on the phone.As he turned to meet my eyes , my heart skipped a beat. Zantae, the hottest singer in City Y, was standing in our assembly hall. My celebrity crush, right in front of me. I felt a rush of excitement mixed with embarrassment as I realized I was about to kiss him. What was I getting myself into?" As he hung up the phone and looked down on me his facial features popped. He was even hotter in real life. His bright blue eyes were just enticing and went perfectly with his black slicked back hair and his shape jawline. I was about to turn right back around but decided not to.

I stood on my tiptoes and pressed my lips gently against his, the touch sending a flutter through my chest before quickly stepping back and was about to walk off when suddenly.......

*Zantae's POV*

As I walked in Yxz High school's assembly hall a figure caught my attention. There were three of them but only one stood out to me. She was sitting on a desk with her friends laughing, it looked as if they were playing a game. There was something captivating about her, even from behind. The way she laughed with her friends, the way her hair fell down her back... I felt drawn to her without even seeing her face. Who was this mysterious girl? Her friends looked around as I walked in but she did not budge. I smirked and walked to a corner of assembly hall and continued to stare at her, then her friend pointed at me, it looked as if they were talking about me but I couldn't quite hear what their conversation was about. I quickly took out my phone and turned to act like I was taking a call, still peaking over to were they were.

She got up and came over to were I was and tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and "hung up the phone" when suddenly I felt a peck on my lips. As our lips touched, a spark of electricity ran through me. And when she pulled back, I finally saw her face. Those piercing grey eyes... I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. This was the girl I'd seen earlier. Fate was playing a strange game, wasn't it?"

.......

^2 weeks ago^

I was awakened by a knock on the studio door.

"What" I said in an irritated voice.

"Don't 'what' me" Kion replyed.

Kion is my assistant/ Manager/ Best friend and he is so damn annoying.

" Why are you here Kion" i said in an annoyed voice.

"I'm your assistant and Manager I'm everywhere you are when you're working, and I'm your best friend I'm everywhere you are when you're not working. Well you have to go to Yxz High to confirm with the principal about the concert."

"Damn I forgot about that, and why aren't you the one going again?" I asked.

"Because he want's to see you and confirm with you face to face."

I rolled my eyes and got up from a sofa in the studio and headed to the car. Kion then drove to the school as he parked in the parking lot that's when I saw her. Her long blonde hair was flowing with the wind it went perfectly with her her sharp almond grey eyes. It really pissed me off that she was kissing another man.

*Talia POV*

"Tanner stop" I said pushing his hand's away from my neck.

Tanner was my boyfriend. He was so annoying and clingy. I was pretty sure I did not like him in the way he want's me to but I didn't have a reason to to break up with him or I didn't know how to, so I didn't. The 21st of January would mark our 3 month anniversary and he was making such a big deal out of it. I often found myself questioning how I'd ended up in this relationship. Tanner wasn't a bad guy, but he wasn't the right guy for me either. We'd been together for three months, and every day felt like a chore. I felt trapped, like I was just going through the motions. What was holding me back from breaking free? That thought made my mind wander back to the day we first met.

^4 months ago^

"Ummmmm Talia" I voice said behind me.

I turned around to see who it was, but was unable to recognise the face.

"Yes" I answered, then questioned before he got the chance to answer

"By the way who are you and how do you know me?"

"Oh I, I'm Tanner, we have Chem together" He replied and was about to say something when I cut him off.

"Umm okay, so what do you want" I said a bit coldly.

" I like you and I was wondering if you...." he said when again I cut him him off mid way through his sentence.

"NO" I said as I turned and left.

^One Month Later^

"It's been a month please leave me alone" I said a bit irritated.

"Not until you give me a chance" he persisted.

"Fine"

^Now three months later^

Tanner's grip on my neck tightened as he pulled me in for a kiss.

Then he breaked the kiss and released my neck saying, "I got something special planned for us tomarrow."

"I'm going home Tanner" I said rolling my eyes.

"See you tomorrow" he shouted as I turned to leave with Emma and Giana, my best friends of two years.

"You need to breakup with him Ta" Emma said.

"I want to but I don't have any good reason to" I replied.

I sighed, I knew my friends were right. I didn't like Tanner the way he liked me. I felt trapped in the relationship, like I was just going through the motions.

"I want to, but I don't know how," Talia admitted, feeling a mix of frustration and guilt.

"He's not all bad, he's just...clingy."

Giana nodded understandingly.

"We've noticed, but you deserve better than someone who doesn't make you happy."

I nodded, knowing I needed to take action, but unsure where to start."Zantae's POV*

I turned to Kion, my curiosity piqued. "Find out who she is," I said, my voice low and urgent. There was something about this girl that drew me in, something beyond her looks. I needed to know more about her."

"This isn't some drama where you ask and you get" Kion replied to me saying.

I raised one of my Eyebrows and said "Isn't it"

"Okay sir I will get right on that for you" he said hasitly.

^30 minutes later^

Kion came walking in the the school's assembly hall were I was talking to the pricipal.

"Ok I will come in about two weeks to check it out" I said to the principal and walked out with Kion.

"Did you get what I asked for?" I asked Kion.

"It's right here" he said handing me an envelope.

"Hmmm" I mumbled taking the documents.

"We then got in the car and went home.

I ploped on my bed taking out the documents tgat Kion got me earlier. "Talia Dixon, birthday September 10, 16 years old....." I read. The age gap unsettled me, but I couldn't deny the connectionThe age gap unsettled me, but I couldn't deny the connection, I was 22 turning 23 on September 2nd. We were born in the same month, just thinking about that made my heart skip a beat. I went to bed a little more interested in a child than an adult should be but that really didn't matter.

*Talia's POV*

I woke uo the next morning not in the least bit interested in or excited about what Tanner had planned today. I wish I could come up with an excuse not to go but I know he would fact check every excuse I could come up with. Well unless..... I sighed, frustration building up inside me. So I decided to play sick. Playing sick was a coward's move, but I didn't know what else to do. I picked up my phone and dialed Tanner's number, hoping my voice would sound convincing."

I rang his phone and he picked up on the first ring.

"You must really be looking foward to taday" he answered the phone saying.It wasn't even a question, it was like he was telling me he knew I was excited. I rolled my eyes and started talking.

"About that I don't think I can make it" I said in a hurse voice.

"WHAT, WHY?" he shouted from the phone.

"I woke up this morning with a sore throat and a head ache, I think it's best I stay home today."

"Ohh I'm sorry you'll miss what I had prepared for you today, or I could push it back to a later day" he said.

"NO" I shouted "umm I mean why would you do that when our three month anniversery is today, you know I don't like celebrating on a later date" I lied.

"Okay I'll come visit you then" he replied.

"My mom is home, and she doesn't like visitors when I'm sick." I lied again this time hanging up the phone.

My Mom wasn't home she had work early in the Morning and had to leave. I went downstairs to lock the doors. Then, I headed back upstairs to closemy bedroom curtains, anticipating Tanner's arrival despite my earlier warning." And he did arrive 2 hours later.

"Hallo" I said answering the phone.

"Why are the doors to your house locked" He asked sternly.

"I told you not to come over" I shouted

"I was concerned that's why I came over." he said all defensive.

My anger flared up as I heard his voice on the phone.

"Why are you even here?" I snapped, trying to keep my tone even. "I told you not to come over. Just Leave" I said hanging up the phone. Tanner's defensive tone only fueled my frustration. Why couldn't he just listen to me for once?"
