"take the time with me tonight, you should come with me tonight, we can feel the free tonight, nobody gotta know."
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~walking down the streets of la- shades on, and my best friend by my side. people scattered the streets, most sitting at the small café we were going to. as we walk in, brooklyn goes up for our order while i find a seat. looking around the café, i find the perfect two seating table. it's in front of the window, the second one in its row. i sit in the chair on the left side of the table and pull out my computer, typing quickly to finish editing my research paper for world history. brooklyn sits in her seat before pushing my tea towards me. grabbing the medium sized cup in one hand, i sip on the sweet red tea whilst typing with my other hand.
"are you still finishing your research paper?" brooklyn asks me, rolling her eyes and sipping on her coffee. i chuckle a little. "i'm not finishing brook, i'm editing." i say to her, earning another eye roll. "you already edited. and re-edited. now you're re-RE- editing." i smile, opening my mouth to say something before melodic voices begin singing along to the tune of a guitar. i look behind brooklyn to see three girls being serenaded by five very talented boys.
"take the time with me tonight, you should come with me tonight, we can feel the free tonight. nobody gotta know."
three of the boys,who each had a quiff in their hair, each hand a rose to each of the girls (who were obviously a bit older than them). the two other boys each still had one rose each. that was until they walked over to us, the other boys trailing behind them. the one with blue eyes strums the guitar as the one with curly hair steps forward and hands a rose to brooklyn. she looks at me, her eyes filled with excitement as she mouths 'oh my god'. the other boy steps to me, handing me a rose. i gladly take it from him, smiling at him. they finish the song, smiling like idiots. brook and i burst into clapping, laughing and smiling. "dude, that was amazing!" she says to both me and the boys. "why thank you." the boy with the guitar bows, causing us to laugh again. "so, are you guys like a band or something? i've never heard that song!" i smile at them. every one nods, except the curly haired boy. "yeah, uh we're all in a band called why don't we. i'm daniel and this is jonah, corbyn, zach, and jack." guitar boy says, pointing to each of the boys. "well, nice to meet you daniel, jonah, corbyn, zach, and jack of why don't we." brooklyn begins to say. "we're in a small group as well- just us two. we mainly do covers, but my friend here writes songs as well." she smiles, pointing at me. the boys all look at eachother, except jack- who seems angry for some reason. "oh really? what's your guys' group name?" zach asks us, we shrug- because we really don't know. and that's exactly what we told them- that we didn't know. "well, we should probably get going soon- we don't wanna lose daylight. we're shooting a music video. but, here is my number- we need to hang out soon." daniel smiles, handing me a slip of paper that most likely has his phone number. the begin getting ready to leave. "oh, we never got your names." corbyn smiles, quickly getting an answer from brooklyn. the boys look at me, although i was expecting brooklyn to introduce me.
"i'm rose."
