Musical Heartbeat [ON HOLD TEMPORARILY]

The New Band

In the morning Grace and Camy went to school. Everyone went crazy. They told her how awesome and cool she looked fighting Casey and they also congratulated her.

''Remember what happened yesterday?'' Lex asked sitting around the table

''What happened yesterday?'' Grace asked

''You fought Casey'' he replied

''It was no big deal'' she responded

''It was awesome'' he declared

''It was fun'' she said

''Awesome fighting yesterday'' said Tim sitting down.

''Was it that good?''she asked

''Yes, it was. You fought sassy Casey '' said Tim

''So. She finally got a piece of my mind'' she declared

''Everyone's mind'' declared Cameron as he walked in and sat down

''We saw everything last night'' said Lex smirking at Cameron and Grace.

''We actually saw you people watching'' she said

''Really and you didn't say anything?''asked Lex confused

''Didn't want to'' replied Cameron

''Grace can you please come here'' said Abigail, Casey's best friend.

''No Abigail. You come here''

''We'll meet half way'' and both store up in the middle of the room.

''Why did you fight Casey?'' Abigail asked

''Are you the only one that didn't see how crazy she was?'' Grace asked walking away

''Don't walk away from me'' she said holding on to Grace's jacket.

''Girl don't touch me'' Grace said looking at Abigail's hand on her jacket in disgust and then brushing it off.

''I'm not afraid of you''

''Neither am I of you. And if you think I'm afraid of you like your minions you thought wrong. I'm done talking to you'' Grace declared walking off

''I'm not finished'' she said

''Yes you are. I don't want to see your face that is covered in make up which is actually ugly underneath. Shed now'' Grace said waving her hand.

Abigail stormed off angry and Grace sat down smiling.

''I thought you were going to hit her down'' said Lex

''I was but I already dealt with her in another way'' she said as the next class started.

The day soon ended and Grace went to meet her band. They were waiting on her in the parking lot. They introduced themselves as: Dennis Philips, drummer; Raymond Keene, keyboard player; Shemar Lewis, Eric James, the electric guitarists and Shelly and Nelly Adams, the back up singers.
They went straight to Dennis' house to pratice. They went straight to his garage.

''What first?'' Grace asked

''You tell us the song. We listen to it and we practice'' said Dennis

''Or you have a song you wrote and we can add to it'' said Eric

''When's our first gig?'' Grace asked

''Next Saturday night'' Dennis replied

''I wrote some songs that we could practice'' Grace said

''Great. Let's hear it'' said Shemar and Grace sang one of her songs named, 'Time Out'

''Sounds good'' said Dennis

''I thought of some notes for it'' said Raymond

''I think the beat I have in mind will work'' said Dennis

''We will work with what works'' said Eric

''What vocal are you?''asked Shelly

''Soprano''

''That's good''

They started the practice the song and brought attention from neighbours and passers-by. They stood in the drive way and listen. Eric got an idea and put a guitar case in the front. Persons actually put in little change they had in the case. They repeated the song five times until they finally stopped and the audience applauded.
The crowd decreased slowly until everyone left.

''That was great'' said Dennis

''Except that Eric begged for money'' declared Grace

''I didn't beg. I offered'' he said not sure of himself.

''Any other songs?''asked Dennis

''Of course''

By 8:15 they were finally finished and Grace got a ride with Dennis.

''You can really sing'' he started

''I didn't believe it but I'm now convinced''

''You have a boyfriend?''he asked

''No. Why?''

''Eric is interested in you''

''Well tell him I'm not interested''

''Uhm. I thought a girl like you would have one'' he declared

''A girl like me. What's so different?''

''You're beautiful, smart, nice when you want to be. You arent afraid of any one and you can defend yourself'' he explained

''Well most guys are my friends. I don't date them'' she responded

''Alright. Here you are''

''Bye'' she said hurriedly running up the steps into the dorm

''Where were you?''asked Camy

''At practice''

''You alright?''

''Yep''
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

''What you doing?''asked Cameron finding her at the library on Saturday.

''Thinking of band names'' she replied

He sat down and watched her. She glanced at him and smiled.

''What?''she asked

''Nothing. Just thinking''

''Of?''

''My parents'' he replied with doubt

''You aren't telling the truth. What is it?''

''I am thinking of my parents'' he said with more confidence

''I know you Cameron. You, Camy and I are orphans. We nothing of our parents. There's nothing to think about. You're letting emotions get you'' she explained

''Maybe you're right''

''I've a bad feeling you're not thinking of your parents''

''I'm not. I've been thinking of you'' he said quietly cupping her face

''Cameron?'' She was confused. What was he thinking about?

''Grace''

She held his hands and moved them from her face.

''This is killing me'' he mumbled

''Grace'' said a voice behind her

''Camy''

''Don't tell her I will'' said Camy

''Tell me what?''
