An Expert's Guide on How to get your Crush to Like you back by OLI

5: My Chemical Imbalance

One afternoon, while playing games at Oli's house, Cosmo pointed out to his friends that that they should be in a boy band.

Rocky, being the prude he is, said that he doesn't want any part of it. Well, not until Cosmo explained that being in a band makes you irresistible to girls.

Eliott was not too convinced either. He is currently experiencing the infamous Emo phase at the age of 14. Dinahilan ni Eliott na hindi niya raw kailangan iexpose ang talent niya sa mga taong hindi naman niya gusto. He said this while meticulously fixing his Justin Bieber bangs.

Tumigil sa pagsasalita si Cosmo, Vista at Rocky para hayaan na ilabas ni Eliott ang kaniyang mga damdamin. His rant about how he hates school, his stupid older brother, at kung gaano kasakit para sa kaniya ang pagkamatay ni Kurt Cobain ay umabot halos ng 30 minutes, hanggang sa maubusan na siya sa laway sa pagsasalita.

" You could be in the drums, Eliott. Puwede mo ibuhos ang galit mo sa buong mundo at sa hereoine na pumatay kay Kurt Cobain. " Cosmo appealed to his emo friend.

At dahil dito, Rocky agreed to be in the band.

As for Vista, it doesn't take too much to convince him. He's literally the kindest and calmest person that Cosmo and his gang met in their entire life. He's also super rich and holds the record among his friends for having an above average grades.

" I could play the piano. " Vista volunteered. " And since mag stastart tayo ng banda, do you guys want to buy instruments this Sunday? I'll ask my parents to buy it for us. "

" Ibang klase ka talaga Vista. Ang yaman niyo! Paampon ako please. " Rocky playfully punched Vista's arm but his fist bounced back when it hit the other guy. Napansin naman ito ni Vista at imbis na patulan si Rocky ay ngumiti lang ito.

Nangilabot si Rocky sa nakita niya. It was as if Buddha was reincarnated to an 8th grader named, Vista.

" Okay! " Cosmo clasped his hands together and gathered his friends. " Since ako lang naman ang marunong kumanta sa atin dito— "

" Hey, I was in a choir once. " Eliott butted in.

" Save your devilish incantations for your cult gatherings, bro. " Cosmo replied. Hindi naman na offend si Eliott sa sinabi ni Cosmo dahil para sa kaniya it was METAL to be a part in a cult.

" Who died and made you king, Cosmo? Paano kung gusto ko mag vocalist?! Kumakanta kaya ako... " Rocky continued. " Sa banyo nga lang... but still.. "

" Shut up, Rocky. I'd rather have my ears bleed than listen to you sing. If you had Eliott's bangs siguro pagkakamalan kitang Divisoria version ni Justin Bieber. "

Vista chuckled at this statement. He lowkey enjoys seeing Rocky being put back in his place by Cosmo.

" Okay, As I was saying. " Cosmo cleared his throat." Ako ang magiging vocalist at sa guitar na rin, si Eliott ang mag drudrums, si Vista naman ay sa piano— "

" Paano ako? " Rocky asked.

Malapit na mapuno si Cosmo kay Rocky. He closed his eyes and forced out a smile. " You'll play the bass. "

Rocky smirked at the thought of being the Bass guy. He assumes that it would make him mysterious.

" Paano naman si Oli? Anong instrument niya. " tanong ni Vista habang tinetext ang kaniyang mga magulang tungkol sa pagbili ng mga bagong instruments nila.
