Chapter one - Music on the street corner
I put the sweets on the table attaching a note telling them not to eat all of the cookies. I ten decided to go to the local Guitar Center. I had been asking for a new guitar so this would be a good time to see which one i want.
I walk outside, snap my helmet on, and drop my board on the sidewalk. I made my way down town and was about to turn towards Guitar Center when I heard music. I stopped on my board and walked around the corner. There I saw him, the boy from the gate. He was playing a nice acoustic and was playing perfectly.
I smiled. "You play?" I asked surprised.
He stopped playing, "Yeah, why?"
"Well I play too, was just surprised to see another guitar player is all," I said walking off into guitar Center. I hid my board in a bush just outside the store and clipped my helmet to my bag then proceeded to the semi hollow guitars that I had had my eye on.
I didn't notice the boy come up behind me I was busy trying out guitars. I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned around and he handed me a nicely polished navy coloured semi hollow electric acoustic. He then Took the one I had been playing and put it back. I sat there with the guitar checking out its features when he sat next to me.
"Play for me," he said.
I started strumming to a song I had written and it sounded 10 times better than it had on my old resonator.
When I finished the dong he grabbed my hand and stuck a dollar into it. He smiled at me and made a look like " don't even try to give the money back" I suppressed a laugh. After a few minutes more of playing around with the guitar I had my mind set that this was the one.
I looked at the price. $350. Well that wasn't too bad my parents have spent more before. He took they guitar back once I had written down what guitar it was and what model. I took out me phone. It was almost 3:00 and I hadn't had lunch yet or texted my cousin. She was gonna kill me if I didn't text her.
I quickly unlocked my phone and typed in a message.
To: Ronnie
Hey sorry I didn't text you sooner was really busy met this cute guy though! Don't know his name yet :( anyway gtg
A few minutes later I received a text
From: Ronnie
YOU OWE ME!!!
I laughed and put my phone away. Clipping on my helmet I grabbed my board out of the bush and went home. Not seeing the boy follow me home. When I got home my dad was waiting for me.
"Did you forget something?" He asked.
"Nope I don't think so."
"You have a meeting with a possibles manager today," he said sternly.
"Shot! How much time do I have?" I asked.
"5 minutes hurry up and clean up nicely," he said as I ran into the house.
I dropped my board by the door along with my gear. Racing up the stairs I slid of my pants throwing them across the room. I slipped on a pair it nice dark wash jeans that fit perfectly. I then put on my supra viders that were black with navy blue sections.
I raced Down Stairs just in time.
"Where is the meeting going to be?" I asked my dad.
"In that sweet shop down town. "
"In that case ill meet you there" I said running inside and grabbing my skateboard and helmet.
"Oh no you don't," my dad said going to grab my but I was already halfway down the street.
I entered the shop and to my surprise the boy was there. He has his guitar with him and was strumming it while he talked with a woman.
"Hi, Skylar," I heard a familiar voice say.
"Hey Claire," I replied.
"So it's only been a few hours what you doing back here? You family didn't eat the sweets already did they?"
I laughed and shook my head," I have a meeting with my dad and a woman that could be my manager."
"Manager? What do you need a manager for?"
"I'm a musician," I replied. " I've written two songs that need to be touched up a biting I'm working in a third. Point is I want to be a singer and my parents don't have the time to manage my schedule and business and family don't really go along all to well for us." I replied taking a seat. I was surprised my dad want here yet he has a car he should have been here first
Just then my dad walked in and walked up to the boy and woman. My dad signalled for me to come over and sit down. I looked over at Claire and winked as my father and the woman began to discuss things.

A/N sorry if this chapter is short and stuff but I'm writing it on iPod so it's harder to make it long but I usually can't make it long anyway and sorry for any mistakes I'm a bit sick right now so I don't feel like editing it.
