Violet's POV -

It had been 2 weeks since I befriended the band boy and my parents have said I don't have to go with Rowley anymore, but I want to go anyway, since Rodrick is one of my friends.

I had just finished my last class and was walked out of the doors of my school when a hand made its way around my wrist. I turned around to see who it was as Rodrick stood there, red faced and panting , clearly he had been running.

"Are you busy tonight?" He asked.

"Not sure,why what's up?" I replied, to be honest I wasn't busy tonight but depending on what he wanted, I might be able to do something more interesting.

"Well Löded Diaper has a practice tonight at my house and I wondered if you wanted to watch? You have said you wanted to see us perform, and this is the closest thing you can get?" He told me. I was a little taken back by this, since he has never actually asked me to hang out, when we hang out usually I go to his house with Rowley. "I mean if your busy or don't want to you don't have to.." clearly he though I didn't want to as I didn't instantly reply. "Oh, no, I'll come, I was just thinking if I was busy tonight, but Rowley's doing his safety patrol run tonight" I replied with a smile "Cool!" He said a little to enthusiasticly, "I mean cool" He said more calmly trying to revive himself.

Once we got to Rodrick's house, we went straight into the garage. "Where is everyone?" I asked since no-one else was there. "They're on their way, only Chris goes to our school, but he had to drop his little brother at home before he could come here, he'll be first" he said focused on setting up his drums, as he talks about his guitarist, "Can you pass me those drumsticks Vi?" "Sure" I said,smiling at the nickname he gave me whilst picking up some drumsticks.

As I passed him the sticks of wood, our hands brushed as our eyes met each other. He smiled and opened his mouth to say something, when all of a sudden "Hey bro! I've rounded up everyone else there here too!" It was Chris and the rest of the band, meaning I'll never find out what he was going to say. "Heh Hey, what's with the dudette?" Chris asked Rodrick "Oh, I invited her, she means alot to me and I-" Rodrick was cut of by the singer saying " Let's just get on with the practice, we need as much possible". The rest of the band agreed and they started playing. The music style was definitely not my personal favourite, but I didn't want to be rude, so I sat there with my thoughts.

I'm going to be honest here and say that I wish Rodrick and I weren't just friends and whilst getting to know him, my rule of not liking his has gone out the window. Even if I don't want to admit it, I like Rodrick Heffley.

They were in the middle of a song when Susan barged in.

Greg's POV

'Crap' I thought as I went into my room.

Last night when I went into Rodrick's room, to get back my copy of twisted wizard that he stole from me, I couldn't find it so I looked under his bed and found my game, along with a magazine. I took the magazine to hide it in my room but I didn't have anywhere to hide it, so I took a bag from Rodrick to hide it in. I definitely didn't want the magazine, but I took it to protect Rowley.

The bag I hid the magazine in wasn't there, so I went downstairs to get a snack and start looking when I found Manny reading it. My heart dropped. But when I heard a female voice ask Manny where he found it and he pointed to Rodrick's bag, I knew he would kill me. Rodrick's band was practicing and I knew mom would go in and tell him off. That wasn't the part he would kill me for, it was the fact that Violet was there.

Violets POV-

Mrs.Heffley walked in and the band immediately stopped. As I turned around to see what she needed, I didn't actually know what to do with myself. She was holding a Moto Mamas magazine but a picture of me was stuck on the front...
