A Band Is Not A Sin #Wattys2016

Chapter 3 To Sing in the Band

I unfortunately do not own any of the "Seven Deadly Sins" characters, just the plot line and any original OC's that may appear.

Elizabeth looked at them a bit confused, and opened her mouth trying to find the right words to express how she felt. "Come on spit it out princess," Ban remarked playing with a spoon that presumably come from another table seeing as there were no spoons at their table.

"Don't be so rude!" Diane said smacking him over the back of his head causing him to fall out of his chair. King laughed at this and Meliodas kept his face straight but did smile a bit wider. "Sorry about him, he's always rude," Diane apologized and Elizabeth shook her head.

"It's fine, I'm just surprised that's all you guys needed to know before you let me join." she explained taking another sip of her coffee. "I thought there would be more questions and discussion and maybe an audition," she added.

"Nah, we don't really have much time for a lot of discussion, mostly because we have a few gigs that we set up before the other members left." King stated looking almost bored at the whole conversation they were having. Diane laughed nervously as if they had discussed what they couldn't and could talk about before they came. Elizabeth started to suspect this was the case after Ban groaned and Meliodas somewhat glared at King.

"But if you want to audition we could go back to the gym we practice at," Meliodas added his smile back and he was leaning forward towards Elizabeth. She felt her heart beat in her throat, anxiously she nodded. If it was at all possible he grinned wider, which caused her to grin. It was strange, if anything.

"You won't get in trouble from anyone if your out later than you planned though?" Diane asked. Elizabeth felt a different vibe from Diane which was mostly sweet but she did scoot a little back in her chair, away from Meliodas. This caused most of the vibes to go away but she still felt as if she stepped to far unto her territiory bad things could happen.

"No, I won't I just have to be home before 12 tonight. It's my curfew and my dad would freak if I wasn't back." she lied through her teeth. Her dad had no idea she was here and probably would freak out if he figured out she wasn't at the library with Maragret. While Maragret would freak out if she wasn't at Veronica's practice. But at the moment she decided that being late would be a problem for later.

"Awesome, we can head over right now if your ready," Meliodas offered. All of the members seemed to look at her expectantly which caused her to squeaked a quick "Yes," in response. Diane snickered at this while the rest started to stand up.

The butterflies in her stomach started fluttering as she looked at Meliodas. He seemed to take charge in a way that the others didn't. It seemed quite obvious how things worked to Elizabeth. Meliodas was in charge and Ban second in command. King was infatuated with Diane, and Diane was this way with Meliodas. But Meliodas did not act that way towards any of the other members.

Then again Elizabeth was fairly good at picking up on these things. She followed closely behind the band members trying to keep up on the conversation as best she could. "So do you think Merlin will be mad at us for picking up a new member without her permission? Or do you think she'll be too busy with her new artist Arthur?" Diane asked King as he basically floated around her.

"She's way to infatuated with her new sound to notice," Ban interrupted bluntly as King opened his mouth. He glared at Ban before adding his own statement. "She'll definitely notice. Especially since newbie looks so much like you-know-who," he then looked forward at Meliodas who was a few paces ahead of the group and didn't seem to hear the current topic of conversation.

"I look like who?" Elizabeth asked as she started walking next to Ban. The other three shared an anxious glance and didn't respond. But instead changed the subject completely back to the band and Elizabeth.

"So Elizabeth," Ban started his hands half shoved into his pockets. "Have you ever heard of our group?" She bit her lip before responding. Honestly she knew nothing of their group, seeing as they didn't give her any information about themselves or the band.

"No, not really," she admitted. Ban nodded his head in a 'I knew it'. King seemed to frown and handed over a couple of $5 bills.

"I told you she wouldn't know about us," Ban boasted as he took the money and started to count it. Elizabeth smiled nervously hoping that she had not offended them, that would be a horrible way to start off this new relationship.
