The Music Within

Chapter 4

<Shelby Summers>

As we walk home I stay silent as Ray blabs about Dirty White. I stare at his red blushing face as he talks about Suzzane Ryans. I choke down a laugh, teheee...my best bud's finally growing up!

" hahahaha! It amuses me sieeng you head over heels for a girl! AYIIEEEE.... YOU LIKE HER!" I said teasingly poking his side. He blushes even more! Wahahahahaha!"Is it that obvious?" he asks. I give him a nod. When I got home, I hurriedly changed clothes. I take a look around and found nobody was home. I had no homework so I decided to go to Ray's house. Ray's house is just across the street. 

When I got there I rang their doorbell..."Who is it?" I heard Ray's mom say. "It's Shelby Mrs. Hale!" I answered. I heard a click on the door and out came Ray's mom Jeny. "Well come in Shel :)" Mrs. Hale is really nice. She is actually a kindergarten teacher. She has shiney brown hair and dazzling sky blue eyes.In short she's GORGEOUS! I cant believe Ray is even related to her! As I enter their house I was surprised by Ray's twin siblings Miko & Mika."Konnichiwa Neko-chan!"Both of them squeel as they hug me. Miko & Mika are fraternal twins...who are highly addicted to anime in their 8 yr. old age. They catch up their japanese from some of the anime shows they watch. Well, even I watch, so I kinda know some words too. Neko-chan means Cat woman."I am not a cat woman!" I say to them. Both of them start giggling as they hug me tighter."Yes you are! your as cute as a cat. Tehehe. Your our version of stubborn,cute INUYASHA!" Miko said. I role my eyes at the. "Hey Shelby." Mika said softly."yes?" I answered.

Mika:"Will you please help my brother marry Suzzane Ryans? I think he might be turning gay."

Miko:"yeah!"

Shelby:" *stares at both of them for 5 seconds* G-gay? ppff.. muwahahahahahahahaha! *wipes a tear from an eye* Y-your still hahahahaha! 8 years old and, and... pffhahahahahaha! Gay! How amusing!hahahahahahahahaha!"

Suddenly I see Ray coming out in one corner all red faced."That's it! I heard that! You two are so grounded!" Ray said as he tries pulling his siblings off me. The two of them started screaming.

Mika: "your not mama so you cant ground us! UWAAAAAAAHHH! *hugs Shelby tighter*

Miko: "NOooo! We wanna stay with neko-chan!"

Ray: "*finally grabs the two* yeah right, like thats ever going to happen again! "

Ray scolds at them as he drags them in to their rooms. I was still laughing when Ray returned. I really cant get over what the twins said. Ray just stared at me embarrassed. "Please dont mind the twins and forget about the memory of them ever saying those things." he pleaded. I just chuckle."those two really need to stop watching anime everyday. And RAY, HAHAHAHAHA! Seriously, get the nerve to ask a girl out! You know.... before you turn gay." I tease. He gives me a glare, "Oh, shut up Shel.You should get the nerve to sing infront of people too then. Anyways, your mom and Anna aint home yet?" he said. I sigh and answer,"yup" ."So, wanna watch TV?" he suggests. I role my eyes and pout at him. "Fine! The Bookstore? No wait I have a better idea."he said all jumpy. He takes out a jacket from his room then drags me out of the house and makes me walk in to the music store. The music store is just across our village, it sells...well, music albums instruments and anything that has to do with music.

"What are we doing here?" I ask Ray. He just smiles then say "Just trust me".

When we entered the shop Ray walked up to a chubby dude with a beard."RAY!" the guy says. "DWAYNE!" Ray replied as they do a hand shake. Ray turns to me for a second then smile, I just raised an eyebrow at him.

"Dwayne, can I use one of your babies for a bit?" he asks Dwayne. "No sweat Ray dude!" Dwayne said as he walks into a room, maybe abou to get his 'babies'. I walk towards Ray, "Ray dude? And what do you mean by 'babies'? Is that guy a perv or something?" I say to Ray. Ray rolled his eyes at me then chuckled. "Your so dirty minded Shel, the 'babies' are guitars. So relax.Because today you, are going to sing here." Ray explained.
