---------------- Jack's Way ------------------
"Well, now that we're done cleaning our rooms, what shall we do?" Zane asks
"Why don't we just...... Jam?" Jack suggests
"Jam? You mean like, with instruments and all that?" William asks
"Oh cool" Aika says "You know, our houses aren't that far away and Lizzy and I own guitars"
"You know how to play?" Edward asks
"We own guitars, of COURSE we know how to play" Lizzy says "Do you guys have a keyboard?"
"Yeah" says Zane
"Oh! Why don't you invite Michael over?" James asks
"Oh yeah! That'd be cool, I'll text him" says Aika and she pulls out her phone. We wait for a minute when she finally says
"He says yes. I told him we would pick him up"
"Alright, we'll be right back" they left and Edward says
"So which one do you like, James?" everyone laughs
"WHAT THE HELL?" James screams
"Relax, James, we're just asking" Zane says "So tell us...."
"I don't like either of them! And even if I did, I wouldn't tell you" The conversation went like this until there was knock on the door
"Hey guys" Lizzy opens the door
"Hi" Michael says
"Are you guys gonna ask for his hugs?" Aika laughs
"Uh..... no" Zane says
"I don't mind!" William screams as he extends his arms "Hug me, Michael!"
"How about no?" Michael replies
William put on a fake frown "Michael hates me!"
"So anyway...." James says "You ready to jam?"
"Yeah!" they all scream
-------------- Michael's Way --------------
They plug in the keyboard and make Michael handle that. He pauses
"Play something!" they all scream
"Like what?" he asks
"You know how to play For the First Time by The Script?" James asks
"Yeah" he replies
"Then we'll do that. For those on guitar, Aika, Lizzy and Jack, those chords are pretty easy. Capo on the third" James says while adjusting the capo on his own guitar "For the verses, it's G D Em then C. For the chorus it's, Em C G D"
"K" says William " 1, 2, 3, GO!"
------------- Aika's Way -------------
'Michael is playing beautifully' Aika thinks. She was so engrossed in the way he played, she almost forgot she was supposed to play the guitar until Lizzy nudged her.
"Oh, yeah, right" Aika says and continue playing and singing, careful not to take her eyes off Michael's graceful way of moving his fingers on the keyboard. It was hard to focus on one guy when everyone's voices were in such harmony.
'He even sings beautifully' she says in her head as she listens to Michael's voice. The last lines finally laid out.
"Oh, these times are hard, yeah, they're making us crazy don't give up on me baby" they all sang, they're voices all together were mesmerizing.
She didn't know it, but she was slowly falling in love with the boy playing the piano.
