I'm the kid who had the deja vous thread and boy do I ever have some advice for you. Wow. First off, realize that whatever you do, they will edit you into the character they want to portray you as. If you really do want screen time, the best way is to simply force your way into the show. Figure out what this girl (or guy) is like, and manipulate their situation, and what they want to get made into for your benefit. If you just show up at the skate park and start acting like Jamal Smith or something, they won't put it in. So much of the footage they use doesn't get put in. I had about four or five dates with the girl who got made from my school that simply weren't put onto the show... only five to ten minute's worth of two of them made the cut. You need to become a character, not just a cheap laugh. What does this person want to be made into? Definitely befriend their coach, too. That was one of my biggest mistakes was becoming the coach's enemy, although it did end up getting me more screen time in the end. Ah I am so excited for you! Fuck shit up for us all. Wear NS clothing nonstop. Be ridiculous. Having no moral boundaries is pro, as is kissing any personal inhibitions goodbye. Have fun, and keep us updated!
