How you get the girl

3: •Forget anxiety•

FINALLY THE WEEKEND!!!
It's been an good/fucked up week. Makes sense right? But you get used to it I guess.

Joyce and I have hanged out so much lately, I've become more fond of her company. She's so cool, yet I don't know much about her. I guess we naturally clicked.

Aaliyah living next door, was not so good. Her mom and mine are like best friends, and so she's always around. Like why her?! People like Aaliyah and Gaia like drama, they like ruining people to make themselves seem 'amazing'. I thought that Aaliyah was the angel in all this. I guess it was just a facade of hers. Fake. Like the rest of her.

Turns out she actually dated Jace. Not like I cared. He seemed like a fuckboy and a player, when I bumped into him on Monday.

Sometimes people act the way they do. But sometimes people just have an impression on me, and I just tend to see them that way. If you don't want to seem like an attention whore, stop trying to make it seem like that. Like seriously people. This is what really pisses me off sometimes. I'm just in a bad mood, because I scored low in my history exam, incase you're wondering. I just want to focus on people worth my time and energy. Other than that, they can suck my ass (not literally, it's an expression).

.........................
There's this cool retro café near school. I'm going there later on today to go and meet up with Joyce. She wanted to introduce me to her band mates, which is basically the only thing I'm looking forward to today.
.........................
"Hey! You made it !" Joyce said, I could just sense the happiness in her tone. She was actually more enthusiastic than usual, which put me in a good mood.

"I told you I would," I said giving her a wink.

She then took me where the rest were sitting, one other girl, and the rest (3) were guys.

"So guys, this is my friend Leila- the one I told you about," she said with that enthusiastic tone.

"Hey!" I finally said, kind of feeling anxious.

"This is Stephen"-she pointed to this guy with freckles and light brown hair-"Leon"- he was tuning a guitar, tall, dark brown hair-"Bruce"- this guy was quite tall, he had darker skin, and a really cool haircut-" and finally; Carlene"- this girl was a dirty blonde, a little shorter than me, but of course gorgeous.

"So you guys go to the same school, right?" Asked Bruce.

"Yup," I replied, then asked,"So who plays what?"

"I play the drums, Leon's the guitarist, Stephen is the bassist, Joyce plays the keys, and Carlene plays the tambourine and also helps with effects," Bruce answers me.

"We just need a lead singer, but we don't know anyone with a good voice," Carlene finally said, her smile fading.

Joyce then said, "What about Leila? Her voice is amazing!" Then suddenly, all of their faces got brighter.

My cheeks felt really warm. I never sang in front of anyone, I'd get an anxiety attack.

I finally said, " How are so sure that I can sing?" I feel embarrassed. Can the world just open up and swallow me whole?

"You never know unless you try," I heard someone say, and to my surprise it was Leon. Please, please, don't make me sing.

"C'mon," Joyce finally said.

I then looked at her, " Is this why you were so happy that I came?"

"Uh... partially that, and I wanted you to meet them" she finally answered.

"Fine, what should I sing?"

"How about... 'Wonderland' by Taylor Swift?" Carlene asked.

Ughhhhh. I'm gonna have a heart-attack.

"Here goes nothing..."
