Chapter 7

Sienna's POV
This morning I wake to the sounding of clashing pans and I shoot out of bed. Ugh so noisy! I scratch my bed hair and get ready for school, I keep my outfit simple and decide to go with a soft pink sweater and my favorite jeans paired with nude flats. I want to keep my hair and make up simple just like my outfit so all I do is curl it and tie it into a neat ponytail. As for my makeup I use as little foundation as possible, blush, mascara, and brown eyeliner. Perfect. I'm ready for my father to drive me to school and I head downstairs.

"Oh good morning princess. I made you breakfast." He smiles and places a plate of.. Um I'm not sure what it is but it doesn't look edible.

"Not hungry. I need to go now." I say grabbing my backpack.

"Oh alright then. Let's go." He says and grabs the car keys. The car ride is pretty quiet. After he let the staff go he's been driving me to school. He's always trying to make conversation but it turns out being awkward or insanely irrelevant. But not today.

"I made some friends." I break the silence but I stare out the window.

"Oh that's nice." He says uncomfortably.

"Yeah, they heard me singing and she asked if I could sing at her parents anniversary party in two weeks."

"Oh? Singing? I didn't even know you had an interest in something so sill- like that." He corrects himself. "And you said?"

"I told her yes of course. And I know that you were going to say it's silly but it's not. I actually like singing, but you wouldn't now that. I wonder why." My arms cross. Sometimes he really puts me in a foul mood. He could've atleast sounded excited that I'm doing something that I like or that I made a friend.

"Si-"

"I don't want to to talk anymore I'm tired." I cut him off in frustration. "Actually just let me off here I can just walk the rest of the way."

"I'm not-"

"Just stop the car like I asked! I said I'll walk!" And at that he finally stops the damn thing. Now was that so hard? I grab my backpack and step out of the car slamming the door shut. My backpack is thrown over my shoulder and I walk the rest of the way to school.

I arrive at school five minutes early to see Alexia and Jonah waiting for me.

"Good morning Sienna I just wanted to catch you two before school started I'm really busy putting everything together for my parents, I'd really like it if you two would practice at my house after school, my driver can takes us. It obviously doesn't have to be all work, we can also chill out and stuff." She smiles.

"Yeah sure. And on the night of the party what would you like us to wear?"

"I really don't care as long as it's nice." Jonah shrugs. Not much he can go with lucky for him he gets to wear a tuxedo, so simple and nice. I have not clue what I'm going to wear. School starts and we all go on about our day. The teachers, the homework, the disgusting cafeteria food. Ugh I can't wait until school is over. Ive only been here two weeks and I'm ready to lose my mind. People really put up with this for 4 years?!

Once the bell rings I go to my locker and gather all my stuff and meet Alexia and Jonah. We step into the limo and drive off. I liked the ride to Alexia's house we all talked and shared some laughs, something I'm not used to but I know I'm going love it. It's feels so nice to have someone who I can talk to.

"Oh! Sienna, I was thinking that maybe on the last day of rehearsing you would like to stay the night. You know like a sleep over?" She smiles, "And then we could get ready for the party together."

"Sure I'd like that." I laugh and Jonah groans.

"Too bad you're not invited Jonah this is just for us girls." Alexia teases. The rest of the car ride is filled with laughter or we brainstorm some songs to sing for the party.

We pull into Alexia's driveway and were greeted by one of the staff at the door. Alexia throws her things down and plops herself on the couch while Jonah and I are amazed by her beautiful. Really, it's just beyond beautiful.

"Alexia you're home is gorgeous!" I gasp.

"Eh it's not much."

"Pft. Not much? You must be crazy." I quickly slap Jonah's shoulder.

"Do you guys want anything G before you start practicing? Snacks? Drinks?" She offers.

"Um waters fine." I say politely.

"Same for me please." Alexia nods and just like that a lady brings Jonah and I a glass of water, it's like she already knew what we wanted, I spot a beautiful white piano then put my glass on the coffee table.

"So have we come to a decision with the songs?" I pull out the list that we put together in the car

Kings of Leon- Use Somebody
Taylor Swift- Love Story
Sam Smith- Life Support
The Carpenters- (They Long To Be) Close To You
Natalie Cole- This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)

"I think that's good." Jonah says.

"Lemme see!" Alexia says and I hand her the list. "Hmmm." What? What's that for? Say it, what is it? "Can you add one more song? It's kind of like their song." Jonah shakes his head and she writes down the song.

Whitney Houston- Greatest Love Of All

Jonah and I immediately start practicing. He's amazing, he plays piano a thousand times better than I do. After running each song three times we decide to end it there and rest up.

"You guys did great! Thanks again, and I'll have Thomas drive you home." I hug Alexia goodbye and Jonah and I walk out to the limo.

Jonah's POV
"You're extremely quiet." I say looking out the window, but i don't get an answer. "Hey aren't you-" my head turns to see Sienna asleep on my shoulder. Honestly my heart is racing right now and I'm trying to contain my laughter. After getting to know her I kinda, just maybe might be developing some feelings? Just a little! I watch her sleep peacefully, she's even pretty when she sleeps too. Her pink lips slightly parted. Damn I could just- no! What the fuck. I'm not even gonna start. I act as if didn't know she was on my shoulder and go back to looking out the window. The limo pulls into Sienna's driveway and we come to a smooth stop. Now all I have to do is wake her. "Sienna you're home wake up." I shake her gently and repeat her name. Her eyes flutter open and she sits up then looks at me as if she just saw a ghost.

"Oh my good I fell asleep? I'm so sorry! Was my head heavy? Were you uncomfortable? Did I drool? Did I snore? I'm so so sorry gosh this is so embarrassing." She rambles.

"No no it's fine." She grabs her purse and the driver opens the car door.

"You did really well at practice by the way and sorry again, goodnight." She says reaching for her purse.

"Goodnight sleeping beauty." I chuckle. Her cheeks turn rosy and she tries not smile at the compliment but it's so obvious she wants to and I find it cute as hell.

"Whatever goodnight." The driver closes the door and gets back inside and I watch her enter her home as we drive away.
