For the other girls, it was like they’d never left the Chocolate Bar. They immediately started talking about all the drama that went down after a paparazzi photographer sneaked into the Chocolate Bar and started snapping pictures of Brody. The photographer and Brody’s manager had gotten into a fight, and someone had even called the police! Rachel was astonished that the paparazzi had followed Brody to a party with his old friends from middle school. It made her feel kind of bad for Brody. But her friends thought it was really exciting. Some of them even hoped that they’d show up in the pictures that were posted on a bunch of gossip blogs. As her friends kept chatting, Rachel slipped away to go to her locker. It was really awkward to stand there with nothing to say, and hearing so much about the party made Rachel feel worse about missing it. But as Rachel approached her locker, she realized that someone was waiting for her. Someone with beautiful red hair and a perfect singing voice.
