Weightless [Jack Barakat]

Chapter Fifteen

Eleanor's POV

"So tell me more about these guys we're goung to see," Juliet said to me from next to me. We were walking side by side to Alex's house. We had about twenty more minutes before we would be there.

I shrugged not quite knowing what to say. "What do you want to know about them?"

"Alright, what are they like? what type of personalities do they have? Are they single?"

I thouht carefully for a minutes before answering. "Well Zack - he plays bass in the band - is really athletic, he likes to work out, uh...what else? Oh, he's like obsessed with being healthy, and he likes ketchup."

"Ketchup?"

"Yep. Then Rian is really friendly and nice, and I guess he's got a girlfriend but I haven't met her yet. He's the drummer, and I met him because we were partners in class.

"Then Alex is just weird. I mean, he's really nice and funny but he just is a weird person in general. He sings and plays guitar."

"Is he cute?"

"What? Well that was blunt...Yeah i guess he is..."

Juliet smiled. "Well go on then."

I continued. "Then Jack is Jack. He's super nice and funny and really awkward, and he's obsessed with burritos, and he can be really shy at times, too."

Her eyes brightened up. "Eleanor! You like him!"

I stopped walking. "No I don't! How do you infer that from me explaining what he's like?"

"The way you were talking about him! You started smiling, and then to top it off you defended yourself as soon as I suggested it!"

I scowled. "I don't like him."

We kept walking, and I finally realised how big of a lie that was.Of couse i wouldn't admit that to Juliet, but looking back over how nice he's been to me with the CD's he got and how nice he's been in general, I knew it was true.

We turned a corner, and Alex's house came into view. I could hear laughter coming from it, and pointed to it.

"There's Alex's house. They're probably waiting for us in the garage. Two people were sitting next to each other at the end of the driveway. Rian stood up when he saw me and the girl with him did too. They greeted us in the street.

"Hi Rian. This is y friend Juliet, she's visiting from New York."

Rian smiled and shook her hand. "I'm Rian, nice to meet you." The girl stepped forward. "This is my girlfriend, Cassadee."

"Hi," She said cheerfully, smiling. "Its nice to finally meetyou in person after hearing so much from the guys about you!"

I smiled back at her a bit awkwardly.

"Hey! Come here. I'm bored and want to be a part of this!" Alex was standing at the top of the driveway with his hands on his hips. Jack and Zack were sitting on the floor inside, and Jack had his guitar.

"C'mon," Rian said. "He'll throw a tantrum if we don't do what he says."

Okay, so every character that has a main part in this story has a purpose, and I'm going to have to start doing a couple more POVs. Please bare with me.

This might get hard to follow but i'll do my best.
