TAYLA'S P.O.V

'Yet another cold winters day in Melbourne with a top of 13 degrees.' Australia wasn't supposed to be cold, it's supposed to be a hot nice country, so much for that! It's not that I don't like it being cold it's just that when cold comes so does rain and with rain comes frizzy hair. I HATE frizzy hair.

I head over to my cupboard to get dressed for the day. I pull out my black jeans, a creamy coloured knit and my red vans all topped off with my favorite black beanie.

Today I was meeting up with my best friend of all time Michael (Mikey for short). It seems like ages since the last time I saw him in person even though it had only been about 2 weeks. We had been joined by the hip since pre-school.

I was in the middle of putting my make up on when my phone started playing eighteen indicating that I was getting a phone call. I was almost so wrapped up in singing the song that I almost forgot to answer.

"Helllooooo" i said as I answered and continued to do my make up.

"Tayyylllaaaa!" The voice on the other end replied. "I'll be at your house in 10 to pick you up I'm not waiting around any longer than that! be ready!"

"But Michael beauty takes time." I wined.

"Oh shut up Tay. Now be ready!" I laughed as he hung up. someone was obviously a little bit inpatient today. I wonder why?

The doorbell rang as I finished straightening my hair. I ran downstairs to open it.

"Took your time!" Mikey said impatiently.

"Oh sorry your royal highness, I'll go faster next time and probably end up falling down the stairs." I replied to him being a smart ass.

He just looked at me which was unusual usually he was really happy to see me and all bubbly but today he didn't seem himself.

"Is there something wrong Michael you don't seem your happy self?" I asked worried.

"Nah, I'll be fine Tayla no need to worry about me." I didn't BELIVE a word he said but I went along with it not wanting to start an argument over something small. Mikey's phone buzzed.

"Who's that? Is it a girl?' I said giving him a couple of nudges.

MICHAEL'S P.O.V

I glanced down at my phone checking the message. It was from Ashton. He was one of my best mates we met this year and we both love music just as much as life itself.

FROM ASHTON: 'So when are you coming over today?'

I laughed a little at the message.

TO ASHTON: 'I'll be over this afternoon with a friend. haha'

TAYLA'S P.O.V

"And you were telling me to hurry up!" I said getting a little impatient at Mikey texting on his phone.

"Sorry Tay. My bad. Ash wanted to see what time I was going to be at his this afternoon for band practice." He said slipping his phone back in his pocket.

"Oh I thought we were spending the day together."

"You could come if you want. I could introduce you to the other members of the band. Maybe you'll find your lover boy." He said teasing me because I'd never had a boyfriend before. Sure I'd been asked out but I had never loved them.

"Only if they are hot!" I replied with a wink.

"I'm sure they'll love you!"

We walked out the door and jumped into Michael's car heading to my favorite cafe that we always went to together. Once we got there we sat down in out usual spot next the the window in the corner booth and ordered our usual.

"That girl over there reading that book is pretty." Mikey said out of nowhere.

"Who? Where?" I said looking around trying not to act too suspicious.

"That girl with the curly dark red hair." He said pointing to her.

"BRIE!" I yelled. She looked up and over straight to me, her face filled with excitement as she got up.

BRIE'S P.O.V

"TAYLA!" I reply she was sitting with a very cute looking boy with dark purple hair. "I haven't seen you in ages!"

"I know right!" She replies. Tayla is one of my best friends.

"Who is this cutie?" I said motioning over to the purple haired boy who I swear went a few shades redder after I said that.

"This is Michael, we have been best friends since pre-school."

"Well how do you do Michael? I'm Brie." I said smiling.

"Hello Brie you can call me Mikey and I'm alright thanks." He said looking directly into my eyes. I felt butterflies deep in my stomach. It was weird I'd never felt this way about someone before.

"So what are you doing here?" Tayla asked snapping me out of my trance.

"I'm studying for stupid exams. So over them."

"Oh that's gotta suck."

"Yeah quite I bit. I really need a break just to get my Brian working again." I laughed.

"You could come to my mates if you'd like? This afternoon. I mean if it were no problem." Mikey said looking nervous for my response.

"I'd love too." I said smiling.

"Well we better get a move on lovebirds if we want to get there before dark." Tayla said breaking me and Michael's trance.

TAYLA'S P.O.V

I don't understand why I feel so nervous to go to Ashton's and meet all the band.

"What if they don't like me though Mike?"

"They will like you Tayla. Stop being a worry wart!" He laughed at me.

"But what if they don't." I mumbled.

"Okay, if they don't like you I'll take you home. If they do like you, you are staying the night there..." Michael said sounding like he already new what the out Coe to this bet would be. "Brie can stay too if she wants..."

"You just want to be with Brie for the night!" I winked. He blushed a lot. "Oh my god. You really do like her!"

"Shut up!" He said blushing even more. "You're lucky she is following us in her car and not in here! Please don't tell her I want to do it myself when I think the time is right."

"Fine deal. The bet stays and I won't tell her. But I'm only saying yes to the bet so I can see you and Brie together cause you would be sooo cute!" I said putting on a bit of a baby voice.

We pulled into Ashton's driveway. I took a deep breath in and got out of the car. Brie and I exchanged slightly worried looks. I'd have to fill her in on the deal afterwards but right now I just had to deal with getting inside.

"What are you girls waiting for?" Mikey said already standing at the door ringing the bell. I walked up the steps Brie following me. Once we made the top the door swung open revealing a tall boy with mousy brown hair in just a pair of jeans. My stomach dropped. If this wasn't classed as perfect I don't know what would be.
