To Live and Die
The Beginning for Drama


Chapter 1: Introducing the Contestants
June 17, 2007


FLASHBACK-January 8th, 2007
Pedro Damien had set up a meeting with the original members of Timbiriche. They were a Latin pop band of the 80s and they were hugely popular. They split up in the early nineties. And after twenty-five years, they decided to form a spin-off of the group. To do this, they set up auditions for the search competition called, Searching for La Nueva Banda Timbiriche.

Back to June
There were thirty teens (fifteen guys and fifteen girls) that entered this boarding school look-a-like. These teens auditioned for the La Nueva Banda Timbiriche, and it’s now a week before they go on stage.
They met with the producers. The producers showed the contestants the judges (both the original Timbiriche and their production team), the vocal coach, and the choreographers. They also mentioned that the search was a combination of three reality shows call American Juniors, So You Think You Can Dance, and Big Brother.
After the meeting, everyone scrambled to get their rooms. 17-year-old Eduardo “Eddie” Brito noticed a girl with big, kinky hair named Brissa Mayagoitia (who’s 16).
Eddie: (smirking) “!Esta chica is caliente!”
Brissa heard that and she hit him with her Coach hobo purse.
Eddie: “Ow. What was that?!?”
Brissa: “You said an obnoxious remark about me!”
Eddie: “All I said was that you were hot.”
Brissa: “Don’t talk to me. I don’t like you.”
Eddie: “Fine, I don’t like you either!”
With that, Brissa and Eddie parted ways.

In the meantime, 18-year-old Taide Rodriguez was trying to find a room. Then she ran into 20-year-old Gaby Sanchez, the hotel heiress of Sanchez Hotel and Mexico’s Paris Hilton.
Taide: “Can I room with you?”
Gaby: “Sure.”
Just then, 18-year-old Fernanda Arozqueta came into the room.
Fernanda: “Can I stay here?”
Gaby and Taide “Si.”
As she started to unpack, Fernanda recognized Gaby.
Fernanda: (muttering) “Oh shit!”
Taide: “What’s wrong?”
Fernanda: “I’m rooming with Paris Hilton.”
Gaby: “Well, get use to it.”

In the other side of the hallway, Eddie ran into 16-year-old Yurem Rojas, who’s one of the hottest teen actors in North American. He’s trying to match up with Zac Efron.
Eddie: “Hey, I know you. I saw you on Codigo Postal!”
Yurem: (beaming) “Yep. I’m also auditioning for a role on Disney’s TV show called Corey’s in the House.”
Eddie: “Cool. I’m one of the hottest teen models in North America. I’m on a waiting list to model for Abercrombie and Fitch.”
Yurem: “I don’t like Abercrombie, I wear Armani.”
After an awkward silence, the two boys got a room together along two other guys named Fabian and David.

While Gaby, Taide, and Fernanda were unpacking, a 21-year-old man named Alberto Dogre accidentally entered their room.
Alberto: (shyly) “Um, this must be the wrong room.”
With that, Alberto and Gaby locked eyes with each other.
Alberto: “I must be going now.”
Gaby: “Yeah, go ahead.”
Then Alberto left.
Taide: “Ooo, you like him!”
Gaby: (exclaiming) “I do not!”
Taide: “Yeah you do. You were blushing like crazy.”
Fernanda: “Do you know him?”
Gaby: “Si, his name is Alberto. He was in this boy-band called Cinco. It’s like *NSYNC, just not as big as them.”

Across the hall, 15-year-old Ana Sophia Sanchez (Gaby’s cousin) entered a room that was already occupied by 20-year-old Veronica, 16-year-old Tamara, and 17-year-old Mariana.
Sophia: “Can I room with you?”
The three girls looked at Sophia as if she was crazy. Then Veronica came up to her.
Veronica: “If you want to room with us, you must pay us 15 pesos.”
Sophia look in her purse. She only had 5 pesos. When Veronica saw the 5 peso bill, she grabbed it.
Sophia: “Hey! Why’d you do that?”
Veronica: “You’ll have to work for the 10 pesos.”
Sophia: “What do you mean?”
Veronica: “You do chores for us: You make our beds, clean the floors, and so-on.”
Sophia: “You’re loca! This isn’t Lola, it’s the real world.”
Tamara: “Then you’re our slave-bitch.”
Veronica and Mariana high-five’d Tamara.
Sophia: (thinking) “What have I done?”

Chapter 2: Club Scene
June 17, 2007


The contestants decided to go to a very posh, trendy nightclub in Mexico City, called MERIDA. Gaby went up to the bar to grab a martini. Fernanda and Taide followed her.
Taide: “What does that drink taste like?”
Gaby: “Why don’t you try it?”
Taide was about ask the bartender for one.
Fernanda: “You’re sure you want to do this?”
She thought for a moment, but Gaby ordered the drink anyway. Taide took a sip nervously. She liked it. With that, Fernanda left them, scoffing.

In another part of the club, Eddie and Brissa watched each other dance.
Brissa complained to her roommate Ingrid and her new friend Fernanda.
Brissa: “That Eddie! He thinks that he’s the best by dancing and showing off his hot abs.”
Ingrid and Fernanda looked at each other weirdly.
At the same time, Eddie complained to his roommates Fabian, David, and Yurem.
Eddie: “See Brissa? She thinks that everyone loves her by dancing like she should be on Ciara’s music videos. Brissa is a amazing dancer.”
The three boys also look at each other weirdly.

Just then, Alberto shyly walked up to Gaby. She noticed him.
Alberto: (nervously) “Um, can I buy you a drink?”
Gaby: “I just got my drink. But we could baile.”
Alberto agreed.

After watching Brissa dancing, Eddie decided to make peace with by buying her drink. Then he came up to her.
Eddie: “I bought you a drink.”
When Brissa saw it, she grabbed the drink and threw at his face.
Eddie: (exclaiming) “!Ay, Dios mio! Why’d you do that?”
Brissa: “YOU don’t buy me a drink. Besides, I told you that I don’t like you!”
Eddie: “Well, if you’re gonna be like that, then I don’t like you either!”
Brissa: “And you don’t talk to me.”
Eddie: “Fine by me!”
As Eddie walked off, he put his hand on his forehead. He was distressed.

While Gaby and Alberto were dancing, a 19-year-old girl named Maria (who’s one of LNBT contestants) watched them. She came up to them.
Maria: “Hola, I’m Maria and I must say Alberto, you look so caliente!”
Alberto gave a small smile while Gaby glared at her.
Gaby: “Perdóneme Alberto. Maria, can I talk to you, por favor?”
She took Maria aside
Gaby: (firmly) “You’d better not steal my man, comprende?”
Maria said nothing, so Gaby went back to Alberto.

It’s now midnight and the contestants are still partying. Sophia had been buying Veronica, Tamara, and Mariana drinks for them. She got kind of tired, so she decided to get herself a drink and sit with those three girls. When she arrived to their table, Sophia gave them their drinks. As she was about to have her non-alcoholic martini, Veronica snatched it.
Sophia: (irritated) “Why’d you do that?”
Veronica: “If you don’t like what I did, then leave the table, Slave-Bitch!”
With that, Sophia stormed off. When she arrived back at the bar, she overheard Eddie complaining about Brissa to his roommates. (Of course, he danced with some girls.)
Eddie: (snobby tone) “I mean, I tried to be nice to her. Well, if Brissa didn’t want to get along, that’s her problem!”
Then he saw Sophia at the bar.
Eddie: “Didn’t you just bought a drink?”
Sophia: (flatly) “It was stolen.”
Sophia left.
Fabian “Who’s that girl?”
Eddie just shrugged.

Chapter 3: New Love and Secret Lies
June 21st, 2007


It was a few days till the first live performance on Televisa (and a week later in the US and Canada). The contestants just finished a four-hour long voice lesson and are having a lunch break.
Brissa decided to get back at Eddie during the break. As Eddie was about to walk to his table, she stuck out her foot so he’ll trip. He did just that, and he fell on top of his food.
When Eddie got up, he glared at Brissa.
“What?” she asked innocently.
He said nothing and got up. Everyone started to laugh at Eddie. Ingrid and Cristy stared at Brissa.
“Why’d you do that?” Ingrid asked suspiciously.
“Because Eduardo said something estúpido to me,” she replied.
“What’d he say?” Cristy asked.
“He said that I was caliente,” Brissa pouted.
“So?”
“He said it rudely.”
What am I doing pushing hot Eddie away? Brissa thought.

When Eddie sat at his table, he noticed Fabian, David, and Yurem stifling their laugh.
“Okay okay, shut up now,” said Eddie.
“Sorry, but it’s just f***ing hilarious!” David chuckled.
“Yeah sure.”
“What’s going with tu y Brissa?” Yurem asked.
“She’s sulking because I said that she was caliente,” said Eddie.
“So why is she hatin’?”
“I got no idea.”
I can’t Brissa still hates me even though I’m trying to make up to her, Eddie thought.

At another table, Gustavo and Alfonso were talking with Alberto. They noticed that he wasn’t listening and he staring at Gaby.
“Hombre,” said Alfonso, “Why don’t you ask Gaby out?”
Alberto was snapped back to reality.
“Well, I want to but I don’t know,” Alberto replied quietly.
“You’d better.”
So Alberto decided to walk up to Gaby. When he arrived at her table, he greeted her nervously, “Hola Gaby.”
“Hey ‘Bert,” Gaby greeted warmly.
“C-Could I s-sit with you?”
“Sure.”
Maria noticed this, so came up to the table.
“Alberto,” Maria said seductively, “wanna sit with me? I saved a seat for you.”
Gaby glared at her and said, “Maria, what the hell are you doing?”
“Nothing! I’m just talking to him.”
“Well, could you leave por favor? Gracias.”
With that, Maria stormed off.

Thirty minutes later, and the contestants were about to start their dance lesson. Sophia had been cleaning hers, Veronica, Tamara, and Mariana’s room throughout the break. After she finished, she grabbed some food and sat at three girls’ table. But just as soon she sat down, the Princesses (Veronica, Tamara, and Mariana’s name for their clique) got up to leave.
“What are you doing?” Sophia asked.
“Lunch is over,” Mariana replied rudely.
“Is our room clean?” Veronica asked sternly.
“Si, it is,” said Sophia.
“Well, we’re leaving. !Vamanos, chicas!”
With that, Sophia sadly ate alone. Fabian watched the whole thing. He felt very sorry for her, so he came up to her and sat next to her.
“What do you want?” Sophia asked flatly.
“Nothing, I just thought maybe could go out on a date tonight,” said Fabian.
Sophia look up and said, “Sure.”
“I know a place around called Nabu, and I thought maybe we could go there.”
“That sounds great.”

It was now 8:30pm, and Fabian and Sophia came back to the school. When Sophia entered into her room, Veronica was glaring at her.
“Where the hell were you?!?” Veronica asked furiously. “You were supposed to get our food! Now you’re gonna have to pay us 20 pesos, not fifteen!”
“Look, I’m sorry,” said Sophia. “I was out on a date with Fabian, and I-”
“?Usted qué?” Veronica interrupted. “I can’t believe you went out with Fabian! Just for that, you’re now have 35 pesos!!!”
“OMG, that’s not fair!”
“Well, life ain’t fair you bitch! Now, CLEAN OUR ROOMS!”
Sophia started to clean the room.
That slut better not kiss Fabian! Veronica thought. Fabian is mine!

Chapter 4: I Love the Boy
July 1st, 2007


It was the first Sunday of elimination, and Maria and Santiago were the first to go. Backstage in the studio, as Gaby was about to go to the bathroom, Maria shouted out, “This is all your fault!”
“What do you mean?” Gaby asked.
“You got me eliminated!”
“Yeah right,” Gaby scoffed.
As Gaby turned towards the bathroom door, Maria took off her necklace and tried to strangle her. Gaby fought back by punching her in the stomach.
Across the hall, Alberto and Jorge noticed the fight.
“!Llame a la policía!” Alberto told Jorge.
Then Maria was able to throw Gaby to the ground.
“You knew that I liked Alberto,” Maria growled. “But you f***ing slutty looks seduced him. Now you’re gonna pay!”
As Maria grabbed a fire extinguisher to knock Gaby out, Alberto stopped her by grabbed her stomach and carrying her away.
“You will pay!!” Maria screamed.
After a few guys took Maria to the police, Alberto came to Gaby’s aid. She was crying and her eye make-up started to smear on her face.
“Gaby, it’ll be alright,” he reassured her.
“I’m gonna file a restraining order on her, and sue her ass off!” she said angrily.
“Make sure you do. But for right now, how ‘bout I take you to dinner since you complained that you hadn’t all night.”
“That sounds good.”

Alberto decided to take her to Ristorante Luciano, an Italian restaurant. Once they got their seats, Alberto asked, “This may sound stupid, but what do you think of this place?”
“I’ve been here before, but food is muy bueno,” Gaby replied happily.
Once they got their meals, they started to have a conversation. After their dinner, they went back to the school (Alberto drove the car). Just before they went inside, Gaby smiled at Alberto and said, “I had a great time tonight.”
“I’m glad that you fell better,” said Alberto.
Then Gaby leaned forward and kissed Alberto on the lips. He blushed and asked nervously, “Y-You really like me?”
“Si.”

Chapter 5: The Pap Attack and a Date
July 19th, 2007


It’s now half a month since the LNBT Search started and so far, Alejandro, Zelma, Cristy, and Manuel got eliminated. It’s now Thursday and the contestants were shopping.
Yurem, Eddie, and Fabian had gotten their clothes for competition. Yurem then started to brag about a few movies and TV shows that he had been in.
“I got up-close-and-personal with 407 on Rebelde,” Yurem beamed. “I wanted to audition for High School Musical2, but I was busy taping Codigo Postal.”
Yurem had been bragging so much that it got to Eddie’s nerves. Fabian escaped the conversation by going to the bathroom…and staying in there.
Eddie decided to brag about his modeling since he had wanting to talk about it.
“So, I get free designer clothes from Giorgio Armani to Valentino,” said Eddie. “I’ve been to London, Barcelona, Berlin, Rome, Dubai, Tokyo…you name it!”
Just then, Brissa, Fernanda, and Ingrid came to the two guys.
“Where’s Fabian?” Ingrid asked.
“In the bathroom,” said Eddie.
“He’s been in there for almost an hour,” said Yurem.
“Gee, I wonder why,” Eddie said sarcastically.
“It’s because of you.”
“?Por qué mí?”
“You were boasting about your modeling.”
“He left before I even started to talk!”
“So you’re implying that I caused him to leave. Well, that’s just great!”
“Let’s all agree that Eduardo is horrible,” said Brissa. “Now Eddie remember, you are not to talk to me because I don’t like you.”
“!Esto bien!” said Eddie. “I don’t wanna talk to you because I don’t like either!”
After exchanging a few “Fines!”, Eddie and Brissa left.
What the hell is wrong with me? Brissa thought. I gotta stop dissing Eddie.
I wanna stop fighting, but I can’t, Eddie thought. I hate that I love her.
So Yurem decided to leave the mall, but came the paparazzi! They started to scream out questions and were about to crush him.
Fernanda saw this, so she grabbed his hand and ran out of the mall. She and Yurem got into her rental car and drove off to the school.
When they entered, she asked him, “Are you okay?”
“Si, I’m good,” Yurem replied. “I didn’t I was that big.”
“Well, apparently you are.”
After a few silent minutes, Yurem asked Fernanda, “Wanna go on a date tonight?”
“YOU want to go on a date…with me!?!” she asked. “Sure!”

It was 6:00pm, an hour before Yurem and Fernanda’s date starts. Yurem started to wonder what to wear, while Fernanda got her outfit. But Gaby and Taide didn’t like her choice.
“Are you going to a posh restaurant?” Gaby asked.
“I think so,” Fernanda replied.
“Well, you shouldn’t wear that f***ing Wal-mart outfit. You need to wear this outfit.”
Gaby held up a Dolce and Gabbana bustier leopard dress.
“I’m not wearing shitty thing!”
Taide and Gaby gasped in horror.
“Ay, Dios mio, you just called Dolce and Gabbana shit!” Taide exclaimed.
Gaby glared at Fernanda and said sternly, “Don’t…you…ever…call…designer clothes…shit!”
“Cualquier,” said Fernanda.
So Fernanda went changed into her Wal-mart dress and waited for Yurem. After one hour, they finally left for their date.
Yurem told her where to go while she was driving (he doesn’t have his driver’s license yet). They arrived at a posh Spanish restaurant.
When they got their seats, Fernanda asked “Why did you ask me out?”
“This is my way of telling you ‘Thanks’ for getting me out of that pap-mob,” said Yurem. “And…I really like you.”
Fernanda smiled and said, “Aaww, Gracias.”
After they ate they went back to their school.

Chapter 6: Shocking Past
July 27th, 2007


It’s another Sunday, and so far Jorge and Ingrid were eliminated. The show just started 30 minutes, and already the host, Galilea, called for Alberto and Gaby.
Galilea: “Alberto, there’s someone here who needs to talk to you.”
She brought out a 22-year-old girl named Laura Montez. This girl stormed up to Alberto and slapped his face.
Gaby: (exclaimed) “Hey, nobody slaps my man!”
Laura: (scoffing angrily) “Your man? HA! He’s been cheating on me with YOU, you f***ing slutty skank! He should know that you’ve been with other guys, and you even did a sex tape with one of them when you were eighteen!”
Alberto: (calmly) “I knew she did that stuff.”
Laura: “Then why do you date her?” Laura asked.
Alberto: “Look, I was supposed to call you to tell that it was over between tu y yo, but I forgot.”
Gaby: (angrily) “You had a girlfriend while you were dating me?! I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU!!!”
The whole fight turned into something you’d see on Jerry Springer. Gaby and Laura began fighting each other and pulling each others’ hair out. Alberto tried to pull them away, but the girls beat him up instead. Galilea put a stop to it by telling them to take it outside.
When everyone went outside, Gaby slapped Alberto.
Gaby: “Go date that skank, because we’re FINISHED!”
Then Gaby left.
Laura: “Don’t even think about asking me out, because we’re over too.”
Alberto was the only one left outside.

[imthegirl]

Chapter 7: Hate You, Loathe You, Sick of You
August 14th, 2007


The school is getting more empty now that Willie, Karla, Nain, Daffne, Alfonso, and Marcela were eliminated.
Sophia and Fabian just got back from their date.
“That was the best date,” Sophia said to Fabian.
“I knew you’d love it,” he replied.
Then they started making out.
Veronica opened the door a little bit to take a peak. She was so pissed off that she yelled out, “Yo bitches, stop making out!”
Sophia went up to Veronica asked angrily, “What the hell is your problem? Why don‘t you just f*** off!”
“Why don’t you break up with Fabian?” she asked.
“Will you stop telling me what to do? You ain’t my mama!”
“That’s it! You now have to pay me 20,000 PESOS!!!”
“You know what? !ME VOY!”
“You’re leaving the competition?” Tamara asked after listening to the yelling.
“No, I’m not,” Sophia replied flatly. “I’m moving in with Gaby, Taide, and Fernanda.”
“But you still have to pay us,” said Mariana.
“You said that I have to pay you in order to room with you,” said Sophia. “You never said that I have to pay por eternidad.”
So as she was about to grab her suitcase, Veronica told Sophia, “All your stuff are mine now, since you can’t pay up.”
Then Sophia stormed into Gaby, Taide, and Fernanda’s room.
“I’m f***ing sick of that damn Veronica!” Sophia blurted out.
“OMG, what happened?” Gaby asked.
“Veronica is a gold-digger and she constantly treats me like shit!”
“So what are you going to do?” Taide asked.
“Can I move in here, por favor?”
“Sure,” said Fernanda. “Besides, I’m moving in with Brissa.”
“Why?” Taide and Gaby asked.
“Because you two are the dumbest blondes in the world.”
Taide and Gaby’s jaws dropped in shock. As soon as Fernanda left, Gaby decided to give a piece of her mind to Veronica.
“Veronica!” Gaby yelled out while banging on the door. “Open this door right now, or I’ll kick it!”
Veronica opened the door abruptly.
“What do you want, bimbo?” Veronica asked, very irritated.
“Why do you treat Sophia like crap?”
“She’s the youngest in the competition, she’s related to you…and she has my man, Fabian.”
“Fabian isn’t your novio.”
“Still, he’s mine!”
Then Gaby slammed the door on her and went back to her room.

[imthegirl]

Chapter 8: In Denial
August 19th, 2007


It was just revealed that Mariana and David got eliminated. In the dressing room, Veronica and Tamara were crying with Mariana.
Then Mariana said to them sternly, “Make sure you Sophia’s life miserable!”
“Don’t worry, we will,” said Veronica.

As the contestants arrived back to the school, it was now dinner time. Brissa decided to eat dinner outside with Fernanda instead of seeing Eddie‘s. Fernanda was getting suspicious, so she asked, “Briss, why do you hate Eddie so much?”
“He is so rude and he thinks he’s better than any one else,” Brissa replied. “?Por que?”
“I get the feeling that you like Eddie.”
Brissa was taken back by that comment.
“What do you mean that I like Eddie?!” she exclaimed.
“I see the way you act. You first insult him, then as you walk away from Eddie, you start blushing and smiling.”
“I do not!”
“Chica, stop denying yourself. You love Eddie, it’s simple as that.”

Inside the school, Eddie realized that Brissa didn’t want to be in the same room as he is. Yurem and Fabian noticed that he was unusually quiet.
“What’s bothering you?” Fabian asked.
“Nada, everything’s fine,” Eddie replied quickly.
“C’mon, you would always talk. Now you’re quiet,” said Yurem.
“Is it because of Brissa?” Fabian teased.
“Why would you say that?” Eddie asked.
“Seriously, you blush and smile whenever you’re around her.”
“Look, I don’t like her, ’k?”
“You love Brissa!” Yurem laughed.
“Si, it’s true,” said Fabian.
“WILL EVERYONE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE AND SHUT UP!?!” Eddie yelled.
Everyone was staring at him, so Eddie stormed outside.

Fernanda saw Eddie walking towards the pool.
“I’ll give you two privacy,” she snickered.
“Please don’t leave me with that arrogant himbo,” Brissa said with her teeth clenched.
But she left anyway. Brissa came up to Eddie and slapped him.
Eddie sighed heavily and asked, “What did I do now?”
“Look, will you just stop talking to me?” Brissa asked him sternly.
“Will you let it go? All I said was that you were hot, and that’s it! God, it’s been almost two months now. Move on, bitch.”
With that, Brissa’s anger started to flare up.
“YOU KNOW WHAT!?!” she yelled at him. “YOU DON’T EVER TALK TO ME! YOU DON’T HANG AROUND ME! YOU DON’T EAT AROUND ME! AND YOU MOST CERTAINLY DON’T CALL ME A BITCH! YOU F***ING BEEYOCTH!!!!”
Then she pushed Eddie into the pool. She left him wet and shocked.
Brissa slammed the door to her room, and started to cry. Eddie went to his room to get some dry clothes and headed for the bathroom. He also started to cry.
As Taide was about to go to her room, she heard sobbing coming from the bathroom. She opened the door and found Eddie, all teary-eyed and wearing wet clothes.
When Sergio was going to his room, he also heard crying. He looked inside, and found Brissa on her bed, sobbing.

“What’s wrong, Eddie?” Taide asked him.
He didn’t respond.
“C’mon, you can tell me.”
“It’s Brissa,” he muttered under his breath.
“It’s who?”
“It’s Brissa, you happy?” he replied rudely.

“Brissa,” said Sergio, “is everything alright?”
“No, and go away!” she replied and threw a pillow at him.
“Briss, you’re my amiga. I wanna know what’s wrong.”
“It’s Eddie.”

“What did she do?” Taide asked Eddie.
“She yelled at me and pushed me into the pool,” he replied quietly.
“OMG, I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be. I deserved it. I called her a ‘bitch’ and told her to move on. I kinda wanted to be with her, but now I blew it.”

“What did he do?” Sergio asked Brissa.
“He called me a ‘bitch’ and told me to get over that comment he made a few months ago,” she replied.
“OMG, he’s such a jerk.”
