"Thank you" was just about the only thing I said today. So many people I didn't even know were at the party. The one plus of today was I didn't "have" to talk to Arzaylea or any of her little friends. I spent the whole party-shindig thingy dancing with Liv, Greyson, and Michael. Calum joined us every once in awhile. Luke was soaking up some "well needed" Arzaylea time.
I'm just glad the tour starts soon. I am planning on hanging out on my own bus with Liv and Grey for most of the time but sometimes I feel like I'm third wheeling sometimes. I guess I'll go hang out with the boys.
Of course, I immediately drift to the fact that I told Mikey about my "small" crush. Frick, why do I keep calling it a crush.
"And we head to Japan." Andi lists off to me. We currently were in a cramped van. We meaning all of us. Michel, Liv, and Greyson were in the back, which left me in between Calum and Luke. Ashton got lucky and had plans to meet up with one of his friends afterwards so he wasn't present. Andi sits in the passenger seat and reads us the long agenda.
"All you need to worry about it rehearsing. We are getting everything else ready." Andi grins at us. "Get some sleep, rehearsals start tomorrow."
--------------
Okay I think today is going pretty well. It's my turn to rehearse but since it's the first day, we are all just messing around.
"And kids that's why I am the daddy of the group." Ashton announces.
"Okay, daddy." I stifle a laugh. Mikey and Calum were already laughing so I decide to join.
Ashton giggles before saying that's not what he meant. "Gosh, you guys are so immature. Luke get off your phone, that is so disrespectful."
Luke holds his hands up in surrender.
"Ashton, you choose a song and we will all sing it." I say, sitting down at the piano.
"Ugh I hate deciding things." he grumbles. "Wait! Have you ever seen High School Musical?"
"Are you kidding me? Those are the best movies ever!" I laugh. Immediately I know what to place.
"We're soarin', flyin'."
Ashton joins me, "There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach."
Luke sits in the corner and belts out in his perfect voice, "If we're trying, so we're breaking free."
"You know the world can see us, in a way that's different than who we are." the hoodlum sings.
"Creating space between us 'til we're separate hearts." Luke and Ashton sing together.
"But your faith it gives me strength, strength to believe." Cal sings obnoxiously.
"We're breakin' free!" I yell, jumping up so I can dance around. "We're soarin', flyin'. There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach." Luke grins at me before singing with me, "If we're trying so we're breaking free."
Michael stands in the corner on his phone. Only God know what he's doing. I ignore him and continue to sing, dancing around, holding hands with Ashton. By now, the lighting crew came in and as a joke, they made a spotlight which Ashton gladly stood in.
"WHEN I HEAR MY FAVORITE SONG," I yell.
"Wrong song!" Calum says in a sing-song voice.
"I know that we belong!" Luke yells back. He walks towards me grinning. His eyes pierce into mine. Oh my gosh, I feel the tension.
"Yeah you are the music in me!" Ashton sings loudly, putting his arms around Luke and I. Luke instantly looks annoyed but seems to shake it off.
"Who wants food?" Michael asks, looking up from his phone.
Everyone yells "me".
"Okay, Cal and I will go get food, text us what you want." Mikey decides, motioning for Calum to follow him. Calum whispers something to Ashton and suddenly Luke and I are alone.
Luke walks to the couches in the corner and takes a seat. His figure is so perfect. I honestly was hesitant towards the mini beard but now I'm in love with it. It seems like he is flawless sometimes, but oh wait. He has a girlfriend. That's one flaw.
"Are you gonna keep staring at me from over there or are you going to come sit with me?"
A blush forms on my cheeks. I attempt to make it go away, but as per usual, it doesn't.
"I was not staring," I scoff.
"Sure, princess." he rolls his eyes. Those perfect blue eyes.
"I still don't know what you are talking about. I don't think staring is polite so why would I stare at you?" I am stubborn. Deal with it.
"Okay as much as this conversation is fascinating, it's going nowhere. You won't admit it and I probably won't let you off the hook." he smirks as I sigh, "So, they left us alone." he wiggles his eyebrows.
"Dang right they did." I chuckle. "Thank you Captain Obvious."
"You're very welcome, Sargent Sarcasm."
"Never heard that one before."
"Bet you haven't."
"So how was Arzaylea?"
"Yesterday? She was good," he shrugs.
"Okay," I say awkwardly.
His eyes meet mine and he gives me a sincere smile. "I really like your album."
"Thanks, Hemmatron."
"You're welcome." he grins, "Why didn't you put "I Know Your Care" on the album?" he cocks his head to the side. Anyone could tell he was trying not to smile. He's not good at hiding his dimples.
"Hmm, maybe because I still haven't recorded it." I frown, trying to drop the subject.
Apparently, he either didn't get the clue of was ignoring it. "A little birdy told me who that song was really about."
Okay, I am 99.9% sure I just shit my pants.
If Michael told him, consider Michael Gordon Clifford dead.
After probably a minute of me sitting as straight as possible, I muster words together, "Wha-what? What are you talking about?"
"It's about uh- me right?" he suddenly doesn't seem as sure of himself as he was a minute ago.
"Um, yep. It's about how we are friends, because friendship rocks and yeah so I'm gonna go." I quickly get off the couch and attempt to speed walk away. Attempt.
His arm secures me so my back is against his chest. My breathing quickens. My heart beat could probably be heard on the moon. I think he could see how I tensed up.
"Mason," he says into my ear, "You are a bad liar."
Well, shit.
