The second challenge

Chapter ten

When at school the next morning, you spot Perrie stood talking to Jade and LeighAnne. They look like they're talkin about something important. So, you sit down in front of your locker and add the finishing touches to the drawing of Lucy and her girlfriend. Lucy spots you and walks over. She sits next to you.

"Just adding the finishing touches." You say.

Lucy nods. You two talk for 15 minutes until you're done. Once you're done, you pull the paper, rather carefully, out of your book and pass it to her. She holds out £40.

"As a thank you." Lucy says.

You smile and take the money. She takes the picture and walks off. You put the money in your wallet and turn around. Perrie is stood there making you jump.

"Jesus christ Pez. Scared the shit out of me." You say.

"Sorry bubs. What was that all about by the way?" Perrie asks.

"Oh well, since i finished that drawing off for Lucy, she gave me £40 in return." You say.

She nods.

"Anyway, i have something for you." You say.

She frowns a little and tilts her head. You pull out a drawing of you and Perrie and pass it to her. She smiles and then hugs you. You hug her back.

"Thank you buba." She says.

You smile.

"You're welcome baby." You say.

You pull back from the hug and plant a quick and soft kiss on her lips before the bell goes off signifying Period 1. Which happens to be music. When in music, you both sit down together.

"Two words guys. And i have a feeling I'm not gunna be one of your favourite teachers after this."

You and Perrie look at each other.

"Solo peformance."

You all groan and slump back on the floor.

"I know i know I'm sorry. But, at least on the plus side, you guys will have until May 2022. And it's omly October. That's a whole seven months to practice and practice until you're sick of music."

"I thought you said last year we didn't have another one." You say.

"I mighta lied to you." She says.

You all groan.

"I'm sorry guys but it's happened now. But, like i said, you guys still have 7 months to pick a song, practice it AND perform it. So, it's not all that bad."

She sends you all off to get your stuff together. Perrie is gunna sing a song. You're gunna do.... something.

You're sat in an empty practice room sat staring at the wall in a panic. You dont know what you wanna do. Perrie, trying to find miss, walks into your room. You have your head in your hands.

"Y/n?"

"What."

She walks in completely and shuts the door.

"What's wrong buba?" Perrie asks.

She pulls a chair next to you and tries to grab your hand. You just sit back against the wall.

"Y/n, baby, talk to me what's wrong." Perrie says.

You take a deep breath.

"Nothing." You breathe out.

You stand up and grab an electric guitar. You put it on the chair and go into the main music room. Perrie follows.

"Y/n."

You ignore her and grab a guitar wire and an amp. You turn and almost bump into her.

"Whoa jesus." You say.

"Talk to me Y/n. What's going on? You looked like you were panicking." Perrie says.

"I'm fine." You say.

You walk right past her and back into the practice room. She follows. While you're setting up, Perrie gently grabs your arm.

"I need to set this guitar up Perrie..."

She manages to turn you around to face her. You both immediately make eye contact.

"Talk to me bubs. Please." She says.

The door opens and you two quickly jump back. The teacher walls in.

"Hey girls. How's it going?" She asks.

"It's good Miss." You say.

Perrie looks at you.

"What?" You ask.

The teacher looks between you and Perrie with a frown.

"Is everything..... okay?" She asks.

"Yeah it's all good." You say.

The teacher nods and leaves. Perrie looks at you.

"What."

You go back to setting up the guitar.
