Cinnamon buns 'n' Skateboards

[18] Partytime

The day of the party came, but the party itself didn't start until 6pm, so the boys had lots of time to practice before their actual first unofficial gig.

6pm came, and they had actually built up a small stage for the boys. Many guests were already there, and their small show started at 6:15.

Wilbur, Karl and Nick went to the garage to talk things through.
„Wilbur are you sure you want to do this?" Karl reassured himself.
„Yes! I'm sure i can do it."
„Okay, you know that if it gets too bad you absolutely can just leave and take a break, alright? We'll take over. Our voices may not be the best, but we do know the lyrics."
„Thank you guys."
„No problem bro, you know we're always here for you, right?"
„I do, yes."
„Great, then lets go out there and give our best!" Nick exclaimed."
„Oh by the way, you don't have to stay at the party afterwards, we could also totally just go into the garage and chat a bit, or to my room maybe. I mean you could also just go home." Karl explained to his friend.
„I know, i'll try to stay as best as i can."
„Cool!"
Cat came into the garage, „hey uhm, hate to break it to you guys but it's ten after and i'm giving my speech now."
„Oh yea we're basically on our way." Karl replied.

„Everyone may i have your attention please?" Cat spoke. „First up, thank you all for being here, as I only turn 18 once, and now, may i present to you, a small band full of highschoolers my brother has founded with two of his friends. You will not know their songs because they aren't released anywhere, but they might release their first EP soon, here is: LAMPWITH SOCK! What a silly name." she said, and gave the mic to Wilbur.

„Hi everyone! Before we start singing and jumping around, i wanted to introduce us real quick. So we've got me, i play the bass and sing, my name is Wilbur, and there we have Nick, our guitarist and Karl, Cat's brother, our drummer. Today we're bringing four songs to you, and funny thing, they all start with a C.
And i'd say we start off with Cause for Concern."
Wilbur turned to his friends. Who were giving him a motivating thumbs up.

The boys carried on with the show, and many people seemed to be enjoying them. After the fourth and last song, Wilbur was feeling a panic attack coming in and had to leave the stage early, Karl going with him. Nick decided he'd answer some questions, so he stayed on stage.
„Hi y'all! I just randomly decided i'll be answering questions regarding the band, so if you have one, just come up to me, i'll be answering a few now, but of course also later when we'll just be partying."
„Where did Wilbur and Karl go?" Someone shouted.
„Oh, yea, uhm, Wilbur is a bit unwell right now, but he'll probably join us for the rest of the party."

„When will you release the songs?"
„Oh we don't know yet, not all of them in the EP are finished, so it might still take a while, but we already made a YouTube channel, if you want you could sub to it. Just the name of our band."

After two more questions, Nick had decided to head into the garage and join his two friends.
„Hey Will, you okay?"
„Yea i'm better now."
„Some people were asking about you."
„Really?"
„Yea! They seem to love us."
„What?"
„Yup. They also asked when we'll release."
„Really? That's awesome!" Karl exclaimed exited.
„Guess this panic attack was worth it then!" Will chuckled.
„I guess so, now, who's ready to party?!" Nick shouted as he jumped up.
„I am." Karl said, Wilbur nodded.
„Could we find a quieter corner?" The tallest asked.
„Of course we can."
„Hey Karl?" Nick questioned. „Are the others coming too?"
„I actually don't know, i invited them, but i have no clue if they'll come."
„It'd be loads of fun though."
„I know! But no one answered."
„Aw man. But still, it'll be fine."

On the way into the kitchen, a few Wilbur-fangirls started pestering them with questions, but after about two beers, they got along pretty well. All of them had randomly decided to play spin the bottle but with a tiny extra rule: you spin the bottle, kiss the person it lands on and then the person you kissed has to take a shot or tell a secret about themselves. Lots of shots were taken, the fangirls got to kiss Wilbur and he had to kiss Nick once. They were proper drunk by now and it was Nick's turn to spin.
