Chapter 7-A Mad Rush

I rub my tired eyes and down my steaming cup of coffee. It burns the back of my throat, but I ignore it. I have way to much on my mind to be worried about the hotness in the back of my throat. My hair is a complete mess, I have dark circles under my eyes.

It's one o'clock. I haven't showered yet and I feel sluggish. Firstly, it was hard work trying to haul the damn grand piano away from the uplifted part by the stairs. It took Jake, Ben, Andre and I to shift the damn thing into the garage. Phoebe, Maria and Avery are out at Wal-mart, grabbing some food and drinks. Jared is still at his friends place. Jake called them up to make sure he stays there until at least 7.

"Are the back up dance here yet?" I ask, for what seems the millionth time.

"Uh, they just pulled up now." Andre replies, peering out the window.

"Oh, thank god!" I put my cup in the sink and rush towards the door. I pull it open and in walk a blonde, a brunette and a black haired girl. All tall and pretty.

"Hi!" The blonde says, smiling. She's wearing short purple ripped jean shorts, black sandals and a black of the shoulder top. "I'm Claire. That's Maddison, or Madi, and Olivia." She's says. Madi is the brunette wearing a yellow dress, black belt and ankle boots, while Olivia is the one with the black hair, red flared skirt and black tank top and wedges. They're are all holding duffle bags.

"Hey! I'm Aubrie but you can call me Bree. Over there is Ben, the one whose fussing over the laptop. He's the DJ." Ben looks up and waves. "That's Andre, the one tuning the guitar." I say, pointing over to Andre.

"Sup!" He shouts, smiling.

"And, that's the drummer Jake." I say pointing to Jake whose setting up his drums.

"Hey." Jake says, waving.

"He's cute." Olivia mutters.

"Totes." Madi agrees.

"Okay, so I've got the song here printed for us all. Andre has microphones ready which we won't put on until later, and we need to get a dance prepared. Do you think you can do it?" I ask them. They exchange a look before nodding.

"Yeah totes." Madi agrees. "Nice place by the way."

"Thanks. Follow me and I'll show you where you can get changed." I give them a wave to follow me and I they do. We walk up the stairs and done the hallway. I stop in front of the spare rooms.

"These are the 2 spare rooms. We meet downstairs in 10." They nod and hurry into the room, shutting the door behind them. I walk into my room, and quickly get changed into my black warrior league shorts, purple/pink/blue tank top and my black leather converse high tops. I apply deodorant and some spray before collapsing down onto my bed. I sigh and stare at the ceiling. I still have to get the cake, find out what I'm wearing tonight, get some dancing space and who knows what else. Jared better appreciate this, and if he doesn't...Aubrie Knight is going all medieval on him. Haha, get it? Medieval? Knight? No, no. Okay.

"And a 1, 2, 3, 4!" Andre says, before he starts strumming in his guitar. Ben fiddles around with the backing track and keyboard while Jake keeps a sturdy beat. We (the back up dancers and I) start going over the dance again. This is like the 6th time already. I prance around the uplifted part like a stage, dancing here and there. I'm only mouthing the words, not singing. We move towards the kitchen, and I'm up on the bench, doing the dancing we rehearsed. We make our way back up to the 'stage' and do our last pose before the song finishes. We all pant heavily, but I'm glad we finally got that done.
