Title: Date With a Rockstar
Author: Sarah Gagnon
Release Date: June 23, 2015
Publisher: Spencer Hill Contemporary
Only one girl will win the cash
prize...and a chance at love with Jeremy Bane.
Monet isn’t just another lust-struck teenager trying to win the
heart of Rock God Jeremy Bane--she needs the prize money from his new reality
show to
cure her illness.
Monet has Fluxem, a contagious disease that's spread through
saliva. It's completely curable if you have enough money, which she and her
single mother don't. Now that she's on the show, Monet has to work harder
to keep her Fluxem hidden. She only has to keep the secret long enough to woo
Jeremy Bane so he picks her as the winner. She doesn't even care about the love
part; the prize alone will change her life.
But the real Jeremy Bane is nothing like she imagined. Monet
finds herself fighting against feelings that make her want to give in to her
attraction and Jeremy's attempts for a kiss. The further she goes in the
competition, the more impossible it becomes to resist him--and when the
producers turn the tables and start digging up dirt on the contestants, Monet
fears her secret will be revealed before she's ready and ruin everything.
The only way to win Jeremy's heart is to tell him the truth, but
confessing her disease could cost her the competition, the prize money, and
him.
I can’t speak. What lie do I tell to make him stop asking me this question? The camera wheels closer. Please leave me alone. Another hiccup hits me. I try to swallow and say something, but I gag instead. Shit. I jump up and spots float in front of my face. “I’m going to be sick,” I try to mumble as I snatch up my bag and bury my face in it as I run to the door.“Down the hall to the right!” the interviewer yells as the door closes behind me. I bang into the bathroom and barely make it into one of the stalls. My stomach empties and tears plop down into the mess. It takes a minute for the disaster my interview just became to sink in. I flush away the evidence of my failure and sit back on my heels in front of the disgusting toilet. I ruined my one chance. After all that waiting in line, I blow it in front of the camera.Minutes pass as I weep in disbelief. I suck. I dig in my bag for breath mints or some reminder of my real life. The stale crust of my vitamin spread sandwich makes me feel worse. Nice reminder.There’s a knock on the door. “Hey, are you all right in there?” Oh, great. They’ve sent someone to make sure I’m not dying.“Yeah, I’ll just be another minute.”The door opens and I see sneakers coming toward me from where I’m crouched by the toilet. “Do you want me to get you a glass of water?”Wow, nice intern. “No, I’ll be okay. I’m sorry I wasted everyone’s time. I’ll be out of here shortly.” I wipe my mouth with toilet paper and swallow repeatedly to try and make the tears stop. I push the stall door open and smack Jeremy Bane.My whole world freezes.Jeremy Bane is in the bathroom. Jeremy Bane just asked if he could get me water. He’s standing next to me. He heard me puke, and wow, he’s just as pretty as the documentary said he was. Even better in person.But I just puked. I need to just rewind this section of my life and clean up. His hand brushes my arm.Holy crap, Jeremy Bane is in the ladies room because of me.
