My Life As Lily by Katie Such (reading books for 6 year olds txt) 📕

I began to sing.
“Wow that was fantastic, do you have any of your songs with you?” Usher asked.
“Yeah, look on the chair behind you in the blue folder.” He got up and motioned for us to come out of the booth, “Okay, we are going to start working with you tomorrow, on recording, one of your parents need to come into sing the contract, and you will be making your first appearance at the Hollywood Music Festival in two weeks so we need to get you ready. You’ll be riding with Justin in his Jet. You’ll open at the festival. Demi, then Selena, then Justin, and last Miley. Do all of you have passports?”
“I don’t,” Alison was the only one without one.
“Okay we will get you one because you need one on the tour. Since you’ll be spending a lot of time together why don’t you go to lunch and get acquainted?”
“Okay sounds awesome,” Bree said and stared at Justin.
“While you’re gone, I’m going to look over your songs and see if they need any fixing.”
“Alright ladies shall we?” Justin asked.
“Yes,” we all answered back and walked to the limo. The ride was quiet, Justin sitting between me and Bree. Alison and Toria sitting across from us, and when we pulled up I looked outside and we were pulled up to a really fancy restaurant.
“Ok, so I have two friends that are meeting us is that alright?” Justin asked.
“Yeah,” we all replied. Alison was busy texting her boyfriend Nick, they are adorable together. We walked inside and it was empty except for some old couple.
“We have to private room,” Justin said to the hostess. We walked in and sitting at the table was Nick Jonas and Taylor Lautner, “Hey guys, this is Lily, Bree, Toria, and Alison.” He announced and we each waved as he said out names.
“Hi,” they both said. Taylor blushed when he looked at Toria. She blushed when she saw that he was looking at her.
“Hi,” was all any of us could say.
“Have a seat ladies,” Justin said. I sat across from Nick. Justin sat on my left at the head of the table, Bree and Alison sat by me and Toria say next to Taylor.
“We should all trade numbers.” Nick suggested.
“Okay, anyone have a pen?” Justin asked and grabbed a napkin. He didn’t need to give anyone his number though everyone already had it.
“I do,” I dug for one in my purse. I grabbed my blue pen. I gave it to Justin and he passed it to Nick.
Once the napkin got to my I put Nick and Taylor’s numbers in my phone. Then I passed it so they could get out numbers. When the waiter came we all ordered some sort of pasta. Justin and I both go spaghetti. Bree, Nick, and Alison had fettuccini Alfredo. Toria and Taylor got chicken Alfredo.
After lunch, Justin told us we could do whatever until we had to be at the studio tomorrow.
“Hey Toria want to go hang out?” Taylor asked.
“Sure, I’ll see you at lily’s tonight.” She left with Taylor to his car.
“Ok, so Justin what are you going to do?” I asked.
“I was going to ask Bree if she wanted to go bowling.” He said.
“Oh Bree you should go.”
“I’d love to.” She said. They walked to the limo.
“I’m meeting Nick here; he’s coming to get me.” Alison said.
“Oh, so I might as well just walk to my house, it’s not too far from here.” I said sadly.
“Or you could come to my hotel and hang out.” Nick offered.
“Sure,” I was kind of hoping he would ask. He’s really nice.
“Okay, let’s go then.” He took my hand and we walked to his blue mustang with two white racing stripes down the middle. He opened and closed the door for me and then walked to his side.
“I really like your car; it’s a really pretty color.” I told him.
“Thanks,” I looked at him and he was smiling. The rest of the ride was kind of quiet. We got to a hotel, “This is where we are staying for the week”
“Sweet,” the hotel was giant. We walked to the elevator. He pushed the button to the fifteen floor. The doors opened on the fifteenth floor, and they opened to a huge suite with green and white furniture.
“Hey Joe, Kevin, Danielle, this is Lily, One of the girls Justin’s working with.”
“Hi,” They all said. I shyly waved.
“Let’s go hang out in my room” He politely offered.
“Ok,” we walked to his room. I saw his guitar, it was black just like mine, “I have on just like,” I said as I looked at it.
“You play?”
“Yeah.”
“Can I hear something?”
“Sure,” I grabbed the guitar and sat down on his bed and played a song I’m working on.
“Wow, that was great, is it one of your songs?” He asked curiously.
“Yeah, it’s called ‘let it rain’ bit it’s not done and I need a guy partner, the girls want to ask Justin.
“Cool, if you want I can help you finish it.”
“Sure, that’d be cool.” I pulled out a red folder from my purse that has songs we are working on in it. I brought it with me just in case Usher wanted to see some more. I pulled out the song and we started working on it.
A few hours after we started working on the song we finished. I realized what time it was and I jumped up, “I really need to go.”
“Alright, I’ll drive you.” He said. When we got outside it was freezing. I started to shiver. Nick put his blue sweater around my shoulder.
“Thanks”
“You’re welcome,” Nick opened and closed the door for me. I pushed my arms through the arm holes of his sweater. The drive home was quiet, but mostly because we were both tired. I showed him what way to go. He pulled up and put it in park. I opened the door and go out. So did Nick. He walked me to the door.
“Again thanks for helping me with the song. I had a great time.”
“No problem it was fun, I had a lot of fun.” He gave me a hug. I took off his sweater and gave it to him.
“Also thanks for the ride.” I wanted to hang out with him longer. He brushed my bangs out of my eye, and leaned in and lightly touched his lips to mine. It was the sweetest kiss I’ve ever had.
“I’ll text you later.” He said and started to walk away.
In a daze I replied, “Ok,” I walked into the house. I heard music coming from the game room. I figured it was Logan. I walked in to say I was home but it was Alison and Bree playing Guitar God. Of course Bree was winning.
“Hey, Toria back yet?” I yelled. Bree paused it.
They both shook their heads.
“How’d it go with Justin?” I wanted to see if anything happened.
“We played three games and he won every time. The he brought me back here and walked me to the door, we hugged and he left.” She sounded bummed, “How about you and Nick”
“Well, we went and hung out for a while and he helped me finish ‘let it rain’ then he brought me back here and he walked with me to the door and he kissed me.”
“Cool! So can we hear the song?” Alison jumped in.
“Sure, let’s go to my room.” We shut off the game and went to the third floor. I grabbed my guitar.
“Ok, I’ll sing both parts because we changed it a lot.”

Once we got to the studio I played the song for Justin and Usher.
“Girls I love it!” Usher got all pumped, “Ok I’ll take lily’s mom, Bree, Alison, and Toria with me, Lily you and Justin work on the song together.”
“Ok,” I said. We worked on the song until Justin got it down.
“This song is really good.” Justin said and put his hand on my knee.
“Thanks,” I was glad he liked it.
“Ok, all we have to do is wait for Usher and we’ll be ready to record.”
“Ok.”
“When we make both our new albums they will go on both.”
“Cool,” I smiled, “So you and Bree?”
“I don’t know, I like her but I kind of like someone else too.” He moved his hand up to my thigh. I put my hand on his and moved it.
“Oh, well give Bree a chance she really liked you.”
“Ok,” He sounded bummed, “She was flirting last night, but I didn’t really mind.”
“You two will be really cute.” I smiled.
“Thanks, she is pretty but I think you’re prettier.” He leaned in a little but I got up and put my guitar down.
“So, Justin you have it?” Usher asked as they all walked in.
“Yeah.” He answered. Bree grabbed her guitar from its stand and the three of us walked into the booth. The song didn’t have keyboard or drums in it so it just needed the three of us.
After we finished that song we worked on the rest of the songs. They took a while.
“Ok, Girls see you Friday.” Usher said and walked out.
“Hey Justin thanks again for recording the song with me,” I said.
“No problem,” he hugged me and then pulled Bree off to the side. I checked my phone for messages and I had one from Nick:

Hey, what time do you get done at the studio?

I answered back:

I just got done. Why?

I grabbed my purse, “I’ll be right back, I have to go to the bathroom,” A couple minutes later Nick texted back:

Ok, can you hang out? I’ll pick you up in a few if you can.

I replied quickly:

Sure I’d like that.

I washed my hands and fixed my hair and makeup. I walked out of the bathroom. “Mom I’m going with Nick if that’s alright?”
“Yes, just be home by ten you have school.” She sternly said trying to act tough.
“I will.” I looked at my phone it’s only four forty six. We were in the studio since seven this morning. I walked outside and waited for Nick. Good thing I decided to wear something nice. I jean skirt with white leggings, with a blue sparkly shirt and white tank top, Also with black gladiator sandals.
After a few minutes of waiting Nick pulled up. I opened the passenger door so he didn’t have to get out and do it for me.
“Hey how was the studio?”
“Good,” I answered, “where are we going?”
“The beach, just going to walk around and relax,” he answered but still kept his eyes on the road.
