Chapter 6-Nerf Guns and Song Writers

I'm sitting in Andre's house, sipping on some lemonade. Jared's band called me over so we can discuss the song we should have wrote like a week ago. Tomorrow is his party and we have done nothing at all. How unorganized are we.

"So, how should the song go?" Jake asks. He's tapping his pen against his notebook.

"I dunno. Something that might...describe him in a way." I suggest, shrugging.

"Okay then. What's the first word that comes to mind when you think Jared." Ben asks.

"Crazy and annoying." I mumble. They snicker. "But I love him." I add, smiling.

"Nice. I think I actually might have a song like that." Andre says, getting up. "Hold up. Let me see." He jogs up stairs, leaving me alone with Ben and Jake. I awkwardly take another sip of my drink as we all share a look.

"So." Ben speaks up. He clears his throat and gives us an awkward smile. "How's life?" He asks. I roll my eyes and Jake chuckles.

"It's absolutely wonderful. It's daffy as the duck!" Jake says in a posh British accent. Both Ben and I chuckle.

"Daffy?" I say while Ben says "Duck?"

"Yup. I'm just that cool-"

"Hey guys! I've found a song!" Andre comes down, interrupting whatever conversation we where having. He's holding up a slightly crinkled piece of paper. He plonks down next to me and passes it to me.

"We wrote this song, like, 2 years ago for some reason. It was one of the first songs we wrote. We never felt anything special towards it so we never performed it. We could change the lyrics a bit to suit what your singing for, but otherwise, we have gold right here!" He says, pointing to the paper. I let out a laugh and skim through the words. It's a really nice song, called You're The Reason Why.

"Nice. It's perfect. But couldn't we call it 'You're the reason' and just ditch the 'why?'" I ask, setting the piece of paper down on the coffee table.

"Yeah why not. It is officially your song now." Ben says, shrugging.

"Man, this is going to be awesome!" Jake exclaims. "We will be the band that plays behind you, have a smoke machine set up somewhere, some girls to back you up and it will be the bomb!" He says, putting his hands behind his head. I roll my eyes.

"My friends aren't really helping me with the performing. It's mostly the party. Do guys think you can do it too, while I memorize the song?" I ask them. Please say yes.

"Yeah sure." Yes!

"Thanks guys. I owe you one." I say gratefully. "Hey, do you think you can invite his friends over? I don't know any of them besides from you." I say sheepishly.

"Yeah sure. These are a lot of favors." Ben says smirking.

"Desperate times calls for desperate measures. So, wanna practice the song?"

After our little jam session at Andre's, I finally went home. Now, I'm sitting on my bed, the music sheet placed carefully inside my notebook, trying to gain some courage and guts if I can 'host' a party for Jared tomorrow night. My Mum can be very hard to convince. I guess I gotta kiss up to her.
