The Lesson

Mishap at Miss May's

•t w o•

Holy shit. I cannot believe the words that just came out of his mouth, but he continued on, " You also have the option of coming on tour with us and you can bring a friend!"

"Hey Kayla, wanna go?"

"Hell yes!" She screamed.

"Now, I'm going to call your cell with the number that you provided in your entry..." He dialed the number, and I scrambled to my purse to fish out my precious phone. I looked at it for three seconds before it started to ring. I answered the unknown number as quickly as possible.

"Hello?" I asked innocently, pretending like I wasn't internally screaming.

"Aw come on! I know that your watching the webcast, you answered after one ring," he stated with a smirk on his face.

"Ok! As you know, I'm Jade, but I didn't sign up, my friend did for me and, oh god I'm rambling aren't I?"

"You're just fine! So when do you want to start your lessons?"

I sat there in shock, he asked me when I wanted to start! While I was mentally freaking out, Kayla answered for me,"As soon as she can."

"And who am I speaking to?" Tony asked.

"The friend who signed Jade up for this! I'm Kayla." She half screamed, with as much excitement as I had.

"How does today sound?" He asked. I looked back to the computer, the webcast had ended, so we weren't talking to the entirety of Pierce the Veil fans.

"Great!" I said a bit too quickly," Where do you want to hold the lessons?" I asked.

"Can you just meet me in that little coffee shop in downtown San Diego, I think it's Miss May's Coffee."

"Sounds great! I'll be down there in about an hour!" I was about to implode, " Can Kayla come too?" I asked cautiously.

"Only if I can bring Jamie." He said as he started laughing.

"Deal. I'll see you then." He laughed and said goodbye before hanging up.

"Jade, WE HAVE TO GET READY! I can't believe you only gave us an hour! Ok so I like your outfit but we need to work on your hair and makeup."

"I can do it myself, you get ready, your boy toy is gonna be there." I started laughing at the thought of how much she liked Jamie.

"Jamie Preciado?! Really?"

"It's the least I can do, you did enter me in the contest, now go get ready."

After a 45 minute wait, we hopped into my car and headed towards the coffee shop. We pulled into a parking space and walked into the shop. We looked around for Tony and Jamie, but we couldn't find them, so we grabbed the nearest booth and waited.

5 minutes later, we heard the door to the coffee shop open, only to expose a happy looking Tony and an eager looking Jamie walk through the doors. Kayla stood up and shouted "Jade's over here!"

"KAYLA!" I whisper yelled. "Oh your gonna-- Hi guys!" I had to stop myself from beating the shit out of my best friend.

"Hey, so I'm guessing you're Jade?" Tony asked, god why did he have to be so attractive. Our petite, blond waitress walked over to our booth.

"Hi I'm Brianna and I'll be your serv- Oh. My. God. Are you Tony Perry?" He simply nodded and ignored her in any other way possible. "What can I get you guys to drink?" She asked, overly cheery.

"I'll take a iced chocolate mocha and Kayla will have the same," I said, knowing what she would want.

"Me and him will have..." Jamie thought for a minute, " hot chocolate for me and an expresso for him."

"Alright! I'll have them for you in just a minute!" She said, but as she walked away she shot me a glare.

"So.." I started.

"How long have you been playing guitar?" Tony asked.

"A few years, you know, when I was younger I wanted to be a rock star, but now that I'm in college my parents told me to focus on something else, like a lawyer," I always hated trying to explain why I had given up on music.

"Shit I'm sorry, oh, here comes our drinks," the waitress then appeared.

"Expresso for Tony, Hot chocolate for Jamie, iced mocha for Kayla," she paused and then reached for my drink, smirking,"and a iced mocha for--" she didn't even get to finish her sentence before my drink was 'accidentally' spilled on me. "I'm sooo sorry," she said in the fakest way possible, she ran off and appeared with napkins and a new drink.

I quickly ran off to the bathroom with someone else's footsteps behind me. I darted through the door and locked it, then I heard someone knocking.

"Jade? Are you alright?" It was Tony, he followed me? What?

"Yea I'm fine, I just fractured my dignity" I muttered under my breath.

"Come on, I have an extra set of clothes at the studio."

I cautiously walked over to the mirror. Perfect, my hair was wet and frizzy, my clothes were ruined, and my makeup was running. "I'll be out in a second." I said.

"Ok, we're gonna head outside," he sounded worried, then again I would too if the person I had to teach guitar to suddenly got coffee poured on her by a crazy fan.

I managed to fix my makeup and so I started to head outside. When I passed the table I flipped Brianna off. After heading through the doors I was met by Kayla, Jamie, and Tony.

"There she is, looking beautiful and smelling like coffee," Kayla said with a smirk while handing me my new drink.

"You wanna head to the studio? I have some extra clothes there," Tony said shyly.

"Yea sure, lead the way Turtle."

"Did you just call me turtle?" He asked with a smirk on his face.

"Maybe.... Now shut up and show me the way," I replied, hopping into my car.

After a short drive we ended up at a modern building with the label 'Fearless Records' across the top.

"We're here," Tony said while hopping out of the car and into the studio. We walked through a set of doors and was greeted by a receptionist.

"Hey Tony," she said. "Here to teach the girl how to play?" She asked kindly.

"Yep, so if you'll excuse us," he said with a glare to the receptionist.

"So I take it you don't like her," I asked in a hushed whisper.

"No way, she's always hitting on me and I hate it. Ok, so here is a shirt and the bathroom is down that way," he showed me into a room," and we'll be in here."

"Thanks, for everything, the lessons, the shirt..."

"No problem."

I walked down the hallway and into the bathroom, I quickly changed and thought to myself, "wait... Is this Tony's?" I shrugged and walked back to the room, eager for the lesson to start.

This was gonna be fun...
