Here's another new story that I've been thinking about writing. I'm a bit swamped right now with school, so I'm going to be taking down Camp Cork Tree for now, I may rewrite it later. I will still be updating Mz. Hyde and You Call Yourselves Hunters whenever I can and this will be up whenever I am able to. But right now i have to focus on my schoolwork.

"Hey Lizzie, you almost ready in there?" My best friend, Pete, called out from outside the trailer.
"Yea, I'll be out in a second." I replied, looking back into the full length mirror and adjusted my pale green dress. My gingery brown hair was pulled up in a tight ballerina bun. I also wore fake glasses to go along with the guys.
Before I go any further, my name is Lizzie Beckett. I'm twenty years old and play guitar for Fall Out Boy with my four best friends Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz, Andy Hurley, and Joe Trohman. Patrick originally introduced me to the rest of the band when we were both seventeen and they were looking for another guitarist, and we've all been best friends ever since. We were currently shooting a music video for our new song Dance Dance, so we were all dressed up in nerdy high school outfits.
I opened the trailer to find Pete and his dumb cheeky smile. He wore fake glasses like me with his black hair gelled back.
"Now don't you look fancy?" I joked.
"Haha, bit too bad yourself." He replied. "Come on, the rest of the guys are already with our doubles and ready to shoot." I followed him to the high school gym that we were using to shoot the video. It was decorated like it would be for any classic eighties movie high school homecoming, and everyone was dressed for the part. Pete and I found our bandmates sitting in the bleachers, Patrick was talking to his double, Andy was reading some comic book, and Joe was just leaning in the bleachers and watching the people below us, his guitar next to him. They all were dressed in the same stereotypical nerd outfits, but Joe was pulling it off better than any of us were.
'Damn' I thought to myself, trying to not stare at Joe like a fangirl. This was Joe for crying out loud. But still, he was looking good.
"There's our Fall Out Girl!" Joe grinned like the dork he was.
"Hey Joey," I laughed. "You guys look like even bigger nerds than usual."
Andy looked up from his comic. "That really isn't too hard for any of us to do."
"Well at least we somehow make it look good." I rolled my eyes and leaned back in the bleachers. Five minutes later, they called us down in the crowd so we could start shooting. Pete went over with the actress that was pretending to be his date, while the rest of us grouped off in the crowd. They started shooting the movie and playing the song. Everyone started dancing, but Andy, Patrick, Joe, and I all stood around awkwardly. We had never shot anything like this before, so I was a bit nervous with such a large crowd.
Joe looked over to me and grabbed my wrist, pulling me into the dancing crowd. He started dancing like a total dork, I couldn't tell if he was acting or if that was acually him dancing. I covered my growing smile with one of my hands, which made Joe dance even worse.
"Oh my god." I giggled. "You are such a dork."
Joe grinned back at me and grabbed my hand, so we started to dance together. I looked back to Pete, who was with Patrick and Andy. All three of them were eyeing us, Pete pretending to make kissy faces at us. I tried not to laugh, but I ended buring my face in my hand instead. I could feel muself blushing through my makeup.
The director called cut and the music stopped, but Joe and I kept dancing.
