Why

Arcus laughs as he pulls out of the plaza parking lot.

Kassie sets up her broadcast, nodding. She smiled at the camera, saying her usual intro. "Welcome back to the KasKats headquarters." After Kassie set up her broadcast and says hi to her fans, Arcus puts on the song 'The Fighter' by Gym Class Heroes.

"So what's u-"

"Give 'em hell. Turn their heads. Gonna live life 'til we're dead. Give me scars, give me pain, and that's when they'll say to me, say to me, There goes a figher!"
He went singing. Arcus' voice was soft and harmonious just like Ryan Tedder's. During a few of the rapping parts he tried to rap along as a joke, laughing at himself for it.

She immediately fell in love with his singing. Kassie laughs when she heard him rap. 'That is god awful.' But she couldn't help but to think how cute he looked while trying to do it. 'A for effort, I'd say.'

He blushes a bit and kisses Kassie again on her cheek before asking, "Now you choose a song to sing." He says with a huge grin on his face.

She started smiling and grinning from ear to ear. She grabbed a Halsey CD from the back, pulling it out of the bag. It was in the alternative section with the record. The song was 'New Americana' and Kassie loved the song. She loved Halsey in general. She showed off the new CD to her fans. "I don't know why, but he bought every. Single. One."

She looked down at the comments, reading them to herself.

"He sounds like Ryan Tedder.
You two should have a sing off.
How much has he spent on you?"

She grinned, shrugging. "Totally. And I have no idea."

Kassie put the CD in and took a deep breath. She waited a bit until the chorus came along. Then she started singing.

"We are the New Americana, high on legal marijuana, raised on Biggie and Nirvana, we are the New Americana."

She paused for a few seconds, then continues on to the next verse.

"Young James Dean, some say he looks just like his father. But he, could never love somebody's daughter. Football team, love more than just the game so he vowed, to be, his husband at the alter. Survival of the riches, the cities ours until the fall. They're Monaco and Hampton's bound, but we don't feel like outsiders at all."

She smiles as she reads the comments and sings, everyone saying how beautiful her voice was, and how they wish she sang the way she did. She sang the rest of the song, ending the last note beautifully. She took the CD out and carefully put it back, smiling and grinning brightly. "Your turn." She turns to him a bit.

Arcus had stopped at a red light when Kassie started singing. He was mesmerized, he simply smiled and stared at her. The light goes through a few cycles of changing from red to green, Arcus doesn't notice. Why? Because the idiot was too busy falling in love with Kassies voice, her laugh, especially the way she nervously runs her hand through her hair.

'Oh shit. Well I guess I'm all in already. How the hell is that possible after just one night?' He thought happily to himself.

Then Kassie finally looks up at the light. And hears the cars behind them honking. She laughed. "Arcus?"

"Huh?" he said, dazed a bit. He was busy daydreaming about Kassie. About her voice. About everything he hadn't found out about her yet. 'Damn Kassie... you just don't know.' he thought to himself. "Oh. Sorry. I was looking at something." he lied. He continued driving to their next location.

Kassie giggled. What he was looking at, she didnt know. But she ignored it. In the meantime, she talked to her fans and answered questions while Arcus drove.
