Keaton and I were sitting in my backyard, eating Oreos. I kept throwing the cookie parts at him, because I really only liked the filling, so I would take off one part of the cookie and eat the filling, along with the other cookie. The other part couldn't go to waste, so I decided throwing them at Keaton was the easy solution.    

"So, are you going to the talent show tonight?" Keaton asked.  

"Yeah, I wouldn't miss it! How about you?" I replied.  

"Same."

"Don't you have other friends besides me, this loser? How come you always hang out with me?"

He laughed, "Yeah, but I'm a loser too, so I hang out with you."

His phone rang. He answered it, "Hey, what's up? We what?! Shit! I'll be right there! I'm just at Chloe's, I'll be there in five."   

He hung up. "Wes and I have to clean up the entire house in ten minutes. We both forgot until now, so I gotta go. I'll see you later, right?"  

"Yep. See ya." I said. Keaton ran back to his house. I went inside.

I heard Stephanie opening drawers. I knew she was probably debating what to wear to the talent show, even though she was only going to watch, not to perform. I went into my room and checked the time. Five-thirty. The talent show was at six. I grabbed an Aéropostale sweatshirt and my black Converse hi-tops and put them on. 

 "I'l be at the talent show," I yelled to whoever could hear me. I went outside, grabbed my skateboard and headed for the school.  

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

There were three minutes until the show started. I saw Keaton come in. He saw me and came over. He took the seat next to me.   

"This better not be a bunch of lame acts," I said.  

"I sure hope not," he agreed.

The lights went down.  

"First up is Nicki and Liza doing a dance to 'Super Bass'!" someone said.  

The curtains opened. Two girls were there. The music started.  I have to say. they were pretty good! They could do full splits and flips. After the routine ended everyone clapped. Next was a terrible juggler. Then someone did beatboxing.   

"I'll be back in a few." Keaton said to me. He left the auditorium. The next act was an artist. She asked for a volunteer to come up. She drew an amazing picture of them in just a few minutes. She was really talented! The stage lights went out.

"Next up is Emblem3!"   

I had no idea what to expect, it was probably a band of some sort.

The stage lights came on, revealing Keaton, Drew, and Wes. My jaw dropped.

"This is an original song called 'Sunset Blvd'!" Drew said.  

The music started playing. Wes put his microphone up.

 They were really good! I clapped and cheered for them. The stage lights went out. Keaton returned a few minutes later.  

"That was really good! Why didn't you tell me you guys had a band?" I said.  

"I don't know, you never asked!" he replied.

"Well, I'm definitely a fan!" I said, with excitement.
