"Hey, hoe." Mel nudged me against my locker. I smiled at her excitement. I ship her and Ashley so hard, even if I don't like Ash all that much. "You ready?"
"Yeah." I pushed all of my stuff into my locker, it's a mess... just like me. I slam it shut and tuck my hands in my baggy hoodie. She smiles and latches onto my arm. I'm surprised no one asked yet if we were dating.
We walk down the some what empty halls of the school, and go out to her car. It's white, with vintage teddy bears on the dash. Her style is very unique, kinda pastel. We hop in and she turns the engine on, releasing loud music. She always blasts music in her car, she makes her own CDs, and sometimes gets some from other people.
"Yo, listen to this. It's this band that's in New Jersey and Ash gave it to me. She said her dad knew a guy and got it from him." She chirped, as she put the CD in.
I lean back, waiting for my ears to bleed. But a nice song comes on, it's different. Trumpets start playing, and drums start banging. It's a nice kind of chaos.
"Some times I cry, when I get sad."
"Who is this?"
"The Front Bottoms," She said backing out, "you like it?"
I listen for a few more moments and smile. It's catchy. "Yeah."

We stopped at a gas station before going to the pit, to get drinks. I get a Red Bull and Mel gets a Starbucks drink. We both get bags to put over our drinks, so they don't know what we're drinking.
I open the door for her and jumped in the car again. "So, who's all gonna be there?" I opened my drink.
"Uh, Ryan, Troye, Brendon, Pat, Pete, and Gerard and Mikey might show. I think Frank too."
Melanie hangs out with all of them, so she always refers to them as her friends. "What about--? You know."
"Huh?"
"You know."
She lifts an eyebrow before realizing. "Oh! I don't know. He hangs with the guys a lot but I'm not sure about Ashley being friends with him."
I hum in response.

It took us about fifteen minutes to get to Ashley's house. It wasn't all that grand. Her house was surrounded by trees, just like every other house, and was down a clean dirt road. She wasn't exactly rich, but God, was she expensive looking.
Me and Melanie got out of her car, already hearing music playing. I can hear Patrick singing and Brendon doing his own thing. Brendon likes to show off those amazing high notes he can pull.
I grab the blanket from the back trunk and she grabs our drinks. We walk into the back yard, reviling everyone's faces. And then there he was, sitting next to her, with his arm around her.
