The Drummer And The Actor Book 1

Chapter III

(Under editing, and I'll probably add more and change a couple things up.  I'll redo a lot of things and edit when I GET MY EYES CHECKED.)

"I'm in!"  Gon yells loudly, a bit too loudly.  Everyone around us looks at him before resuming whatever they were doing.

"Great!  What about you Killua?"  Retz asks, I look at him and then to Gon.  Gon gives me pleading eyes. I can see my reflection twinkle in his bright hazel eyes.

I look away from Gon hesitantly.

"What type of music are we playing?" I ask before complying with his offer, I want to know what I'm in for.

"Well, it's a party for the kids who are helping with and doing Dear Evan Hansen, so it'll be mostly broadway music. And Killua, I know you specialize in broadway music on the drums."

What Retz says is true. I do specialize in broadway songs on the drums. When I was little I wanted to be on broadway, to be an actor and be a drummer. But I couldn't do both, and unlike singing, drumming just came to me. So I became a drummer, but the passion for broadway never left me. So I know how to play almost every broadway song out there on the drums.

"So, are you in?"

I sigh and take one more look at Retz and then at Gon.  Gon is still giving me puppy eyes, I can't say no to those damn puppy eyes.

"Fine, I'll play at the party."

"Yay!"

"Yay!"  Retz and Gon celebrate.

"When's the party?" Gon asks Retz, Retz's expression quickly changes to one of almost disappointment.

"This weekend you dumbass!" Retz playfully smacks Gon over his head.  Retz likes to smack people across the head for some reason.

"No, I mean which day is it!" Gon whines and hunches over slightly while rubbing the back of his head, I chuckle slightly and Gon looks at me saddened and groans again.

"Oh, it's on Sunday.  So we have three days till' the party."

"One question, will Khai be at the party?"  I ask, Retz nods his head yes. Sweet baby Jesus have mercy on our souls.

Khai is the pianist, who also ended up being my little sister's friend even though Khai's my age.  Khai's super sweet and nice, yet a little bit, y'know.... Bless her soul but she's fucking crazy.

"Anyway, do you guys want to come to my house tomorrow after school and practice for the party?"  Retz says changing the subject. "Everyone else will be there."

"Sure!" Gon acquiesces immediately with excitement.

If he's going to be there, then I might as well go too.

"Yeah, I don't mind."

"Great!  So we'll walk to my house together after school tomorrow."

The bell rings.

"Well, catch ya later guys!"  Gon says running off waving to us as he goes, I smile slightly.

"Bye, see you later, Gon." I yell back waving too as Gon disappears into the crowd of people.

Retz playfully elbows me it the side and smirks, yet the elbow in he side kind of hurt.

"Ow! What was that for?!"

"You like him~"

"S-Shut up!" I stutter, looking away from Gon's figure runs into the school. I take one more glance at where vanished and catch one last glimpse of the back of his head.
