The Drummers Girl || Rodrick Heffley x Reader (Fem.)

Talent show and Hayden Hills (Movie 2 - Part. 2)

After the first day of school Greg and Rowley walked into the living room "Its unbelievable! even at school Rodrick is ruining my life!" Greg told Rowley as Rowley looked down at Rodrick who slept on the couch "shhh! he might hear you!"

"nah watch" Greg said as he picked up one of Manny's toy drums, hitting it near Rodricks ear as he didn't even stir. "Holy cow!" Rowley said shocked as Greg sat down at Rodricks feet "he once slept through an entire day" He smiled as Rowley sat on the arm of the couch.

The front door opened "knock knock" (Name) said as she walked in, Rodrick sprung awake at the sound of her voice causing the two younger boys to jump. "Hey (Nickname)" He yawned sitting up as Greg turned the Tv on

"do you have a talent you'd like to share?" The man said causing Rodrick to turn towards the program, A lady then went on to explain a new local talent show as Rowley spoke up "Hey Greg, we should-" "Can it chunky cheese!" Rodrick said as he listened to the Tv

He slowly stood up as (Name) was standing next to the couch, Susan standing in the doorway "this is huge...I gotta call the band..we gotta practice!" He said running around the couch picking (Name) up around the waist and spinning her around

"this is gonna be our big break!" He smiled as he gently put her down, running out of the room before being stopped by his mother "ah ah ah. wait a second, arn't you forgetting something?" She said causing Rodrick to look at her confused "what? I showered yesterday" He said

"we agreed that you'd give a drum lesson to Greg" She said "you were serious?" Greg asked "yeah, and who knows maybe you guys will really like it and we can form a family band?" Susan said with a smile liking the idea

~~~~~~~~

Rodrick sat at his drum set without a shirt on, playing them loudly as Rowley and Greg followed along with paper plates and utensils, (Name) sitting on a step ladder "when do we get to play the real drums?" Greg yelled over to music

"like I'd ever let you touch them!" Rodrick calls back "You let (Name) play them!" He calls back "its because I trust her! watch and learn earthworm!" Rodrick calls as Greg and Rowley ignore him talking about the talent show

(Name) shook her head as Rodrick continued to loudly play the drums without a care in the world

~~~~~~~~

Rowley and Greg stood outside of their school as Rodricks van pulled up Infront of them "Get in" He said leaning towards the passenger window "why? what are you doing here" Greg asked "mom said she'd pay mom bucks if I drive you home, and I'm so close to getting those boots" Rodrick smirked as one of his band members hi-fived him

"where's (Name)?" Greg asked, knowing Rodrick would be far more brutal without her there, Rodrick rolled his eyes at his brother wanting to know about where she was "Shes helping with setting up the gymnasium for the cheer tryouts...I told her I'd wait but she said she'd just ask one of the girls for a lift to our place" He explained as if it was obvious

"(Name) does cheer?" Rowley asked, Rodricks face dropped with annoyance "no puffy, she doesn't. but she's basically a saint so she offered her help" Rodrick said "we'd rather walk" Greg said "get in. now!" Rodrick demanded his face dropping slightly

the boys reluctantly agreed, waiting near the vans door as Rodrick got out of the drivers seat to open it "What happened to the seats?" Greg asked looking inside the van "oh, I needed to room for my new equipment" He said simply

"how'd you have the money for that?" Greg asked as he hopped in, Rodrick grabbing Rowley by his backpack and practically throwing him in after Greg. "oh you know, spare Mom bucks" Rodrick answered slamming the vans door

"no way, you only earned like 5? plus you said you wanted to buy the shoes" Greg said with disbelief not having time to sit down as Rodrick hit the gas pedal, speeding off out onto the road as Greg and Rowley were flung around in the back

Greg asked Rodrick to slow down, only to be ignored as his brother and his bandmate discussed the song, they were going to play at the talent show. His van came to a harsh stopped out the front, Rodrick yet again staggering out of the front seat

He went around the side, opening the door as Greg and Rowley staggered out quickly looking disheveled. Rodrick only shrugged it off as him and his band member got out, heading towards the garage.

~~~~~~~~

Later that evening the entire band was practicing for the talent show "hey man! could you grab some soda? should just be in the fridge" Rodrick asked one of the guitarists who wasn't currently practicing "yeah sure" He shrugged putting his guitar down

He hummed to himself as he walked into the empty kitchen, hitting the dining room table in a drum like motion to go along with what he was humming, his humming stopped when he noticed (Name) sitting in a car out the front, taking off her seat belt and turning to talk to the driver.

"oh crap" The band member whispered running back out into the garage in a panic, all the other members looking at him weirdly "what?" Rodrick asked, "you said (Name) was getting a lift from one of the girls, right?" He asked as Rodrick rose a brow

"Yeah? I also told her to call me if she couldn't get one...why?" He asked as all music stopped "she's sitting in Hayden's car" He said causing everyone to stop completely "like rich jerk Hayden?" Rodrick asked standing up pointing his drumstick at the member.

The guitarist only nodded "Jerk will have to go through me first" Rodrick said, dumping the drumstick and making his way out the front to where (Name) stood next to the car turning at the noise of the door "Rodrick! I lost track of time, more people wanted to try out then they thought" She smiled

"uh huh" Rodrick nodded not taking his glare off of Hayden as he stood next to her "uh Heffley, should have known" Hayden smirked, Rodrick furrowed his glare as he grabbed (Names) arm gently "Come on...the band wants to show you the practice run" He pulled her along

"oh..ok...Cya Hayden! thanks!" She looked back and called out, once they were inside Rodrick let go of her arm, running a hand through his hair "ok? what was that about?" (Name) asked with a slight demand

"I said call me, you know I would have picked you up!" He ignored her question, raising his voice while also keeping it low and full of worry "I know...but I didn't want to disturb you and Hayden offered....our parents work together so-" She simply explained

"Hes a snake (Name)...a rich one at that....A double snake!" He said sternly before his gaze softened, He sighed "I'm sorry alright...but listen" He grabbed her upper arm gently as he spoke softly "I don't want to see you hurt.... especially not from someone like him...he will take advantage of you the first chance he gets" Rodrick explained

"and I...I care to much to let that happen...just promise me you'll stay away from him..hes bad news" He spoke as she nodded "So thats the guy everyone's been talking about but won't give a name...It didn't even click...I'm sorry Rodrick trust me I would have-" She began as he shushed her "I know...and I'm not blaming you, I just...I want to see you safe and happy" He smiled ruffling her hair

She smiled before lightly punching his shoulder "My hero in dark clothing and eyeliner" "forever and always" He chuckled as he swung an arm over her shoulder leading her towards the garage "now we have been practicing for the talent show and we want to show you" He smiled "Can't wait" She smiled back "oh! right" She said making him stop

She took something out of her pocket "A couple of the girls where making these and I thought....why not something for a little Goodluck in the talent show" She smiled showing him a hand-made beaded bracelet

It was a glittery (Favorite color) (Try not to use black for story purposes please and thankyou) with (Names) name written in beaded gold letters

"ok now I know its a bit of a....different scheme for you....they didn't have black beads but you don't have to wear it-" She said as he took it from her putting it on his wrist

"I'm never going to take it off" He smiled "thankyou I love it" She smiled at him as they linked arms again heading out to the band smiling
