(Y/N's POV)
-·=»‡«=·-
The snow falling from my boots to the linoleum flooring could almost be heard as i walked through the sliding doors into the guitar center. It was almost pitch black outside apart from the few street lights at each turn in the road.
At any other time the store would be packed full of people playing different rifts from all kinds of songs. But the store was almost completely deserted, apart from the boy behind the counter. This vacancy made sense as it was half an hour till closing time.
The warmth from the store stung my pink cheeks. Despite the many times i have come here the sudden change in temperature surprises me every time.
I head to the rack near the counter, and grab a pack of 1.0 mm tortex picks. The boy behind the counter eyeing me as i made my choice. I paid and made my way out the store when i bumped shoulders with a boy he had a mass of black curls on his head. He wore clothes at least 2 sizes to big.
I watched as he hopped over the counter and made conversation with the cashier. I left soon after shoving the package of picks in my gig bag as i mounted my bike, and rode off in the icy weather.

I pulled into Dennis's garage, and parked my bike next to the other two. I pulled my bass out and plugged it into the amp, and started to tune it.
As i tuned my instrument the rest of the band came out into the garage with mugs in their hands. "Oh hey, how long have you been here?" asked Dennis as he sat down his mug and took a seat behind his drum kit." not long i said still focused on tuning my bass.
As i did that Julian set up the mic stand, and plugged his guitar into his amp. Although Dennis's garage walls had soundproof padding the door still didn't, and we would probably get noise complaints.
Before starting i tossed the picks i had bought to Julian, I'm not sure why but he has always preferred thicker picks.

The time was ten till two, and we had decided to go play games on Dennis's PlayStation 3 a few hours ago. Currently Julian and i were playing Lego Star Wars 3 The Clone Wars, and Dennis was typing some long paragraph on his laptop. I was not really paying attention as i was focused on killing greaves. Just as i was about the through the last box at him Dennis started yelling something inaudible. "Slow down" Julian said pausing the game directing all of his attention to Dennis. "I got us a gig at this pub downtown" He said. We all cheered, and hugged. I swear i saw Julian eyes watering. "When is it?" i asked. "The 31th" he said. Oh shit i have a tennis match that day i thought. "uh.. Hey guys there is something i have to tell you" i said. "That doesn't sound good" Julian said looking over at me. "I have a tennis match that day" i said. "Can't you just skip it" Dennis said chiming in. "yeah they wont need you anyways you're just a bench warmer" Julian replied the only laughing at his joke. "Yeah but it's the championship game" i answered.
