[ 05. hologram band ]

y/n's pov

The crowd was dead silent apart from the occasional confused mutter.

A guy came onto the stage from backstage.

"Hey, where'd the rest of the band go?" He asked Julie.

"Wait, were those holograms?" The girl from Dirty Candy Reggie winked at asked.

"Yes! Yes, they were holograms." Julie chuckled lightly. "Um, I plugged it into the ceiling projector before the show. I'd explain it, but it involves algorithms and science stuff."

The crowd all cheered again.

Like I said, smooth liar.

"That's wild. They could see us when we were playing, but not when the music ended." Luke said.

"We should double check." Reggie climbed up the stairs to the stage and shook his butt. No one bat an eye. "Yeah, I don't... I don't think they can see us."

"I wish I couldn't see you." I pat Reggie's arm while he frowned at Alex's words.

"Okay, people, show's over." The principal spoke to the students. "Let's get back to class, please."

Luke, Alex and I started walking with the crowd, but I looked back at Reggie trying to talk to the girl he winked at earlier.

"What was that?" Carrie, the lead singer from Dirty Candy, asked her friend. "'Were those holograms?'"

"Hey there. Hi. Reggie." He tried introducing himself, but the girl obviously couldn't see him.

"What even is that? What was that?" Carrie went on.

"Could I, uh, maybe call you some time? What's your number?"

I rolled my eyes and looked back ahead of me.

"Seriously?" Alex looked at me. "How do you still like him?"

"What do you mean, 'still like him'?" I asked. "I never said I liked him in the first place."

"Oh, but it's so painfully obvious." Luke teased and I sighed.

"Julie!" The four of us exclaimed when she walked around the corner and into the hallway we were in. Alex and Reggie worked together to hold up Luke like a cheer pyramid, I was just making sure they didn't break any bones. If they could as ghosts.

"Aah! You! Stop doing that!" Luke jumped down. "I'm serious."

"Woah, woah, woah. This one's all on you. We were already here. Well, actually," Reggie pointed behind us. "We were over there, and then we came over here."

"Are we not gonna talk about what just happened?" Luke asked, bouncing on his toes.

"Yeah, the whole school saw you. It's kinda freaking me out."

"Okay, good, cause it's kind of freaking me out too." Alex jumped in. "You know, you could see us, and then people could see us whenever we play music. And my clothes are made of air, but for some reason, I'm still getting a wedgie." He inhaled. "So many questions."

"The important thing is that we rocked that place. They were loving you!"

"Are you kidding? They loved us." Julie seemed almost just as excited as Luke. "That was a great song, Luke. Thanks."
