My Famous

Chapter 3: A project

*** Kade's POV***

The school decided that acedemic English was much too easy for me so they deicided to put move me up to honors English. My dad was enthused, me not so much. So I no longer have Luke in all of my classes so I no longer have an automatic partner for projects. We now have to do a partner project on a book and I have no partner. I see one boy,who I've seen in my music class as well, looking about as lost as I'm sure I look right now. I walk over to him.

"Hi, I'm Kade and it looks like you need a partner as much as I do." I say to the curly haired boy. He smiles at me.

"Yes I do Kade." He says, holding his hand out to me. "I'm Ashton." I slip my hand into his and I immediately feel familiar calluses.

"You're a drummer." I state. He looks at me, confused as to how I knew that.

"Your hands. My friend, Josh, was a drumme and he had the same calluses on his hands." I explain.

"I promise I'm not a creeper." I say, laughing.

"Anyway yes, you're right, I am a drummer." He says, grinning. "And you are the new music prodigy Sonny won't shut up about."

"Of course." I say, sarcastically and roll my eyes.

"Does everyone have a partner?" Ms. McBrinn asks, interrupting our conversation. Everyone nods in response. "Okay then. I will be coming around to each group to assign your book." She starts to walk around and we resume our converstion.

"So I hear you're friends with Luke Hemmings and his crowd." He says. I immediately become wary of what he is about to say. He laughs.

"Don't worry, I not going to trash them or anything. I was just going to say that they are really talented guys."

"People keep talking about it but I've heard them play or sing or anything, for that matter." I admit.

"You should get them to. They would make a great band." He says. Ms. Mcbrinn walks up to where we are sitting.

"You guys will be doing "Romeo and Juliet" and I swear if you ask me who that is, I will smack you." She says, trying to do a stern expression but failing miserably when she started laughing.

"Have fun with it." She says and walks away to the next group. The bell rings.

"I guess we'll need to meet up at some point to work on this." Ashton says, standing up.

"Yeah. We can do it at my house tomorrow after school, if you want." I respond. He smiles and nods at me.

"Okay, that works for me." He says and with that we part ways.

I may have to do a little investigation into what Ashton said about Luke, Michael and Calum, making a good band. Of course, if they had a band they would need a drummer.

"Please! Please, please, please!" I beg them. "Just one song."

"No, Kade." Michael says, looking vaguely annoyed at me.

"Not even one little song?" I ask, holding a finger in front of my face. They all shake their heads.

"Then you give me no choice." I say. I pull out the puppy dog eyes.

"Please, please, don't do that." Luke says holding hishands up to block me from his view. I turn to the other boys.

"Ugh! Fine." Calum says, giving in first. Michael quickly follows behind him and Luke is the only one left standing. I take a step closer and stand up on my tiptoes to whisper into his ear.
