On Wednesday, Jake and I waved goodbye to Sal and Diana as we made our way to the music room, watching as the rest of the students filed out the main doors. Jake slung his arm lazily around my shoulder as I looked up at him.
"Hard to believe in less then five days we'll be auditioning. It seems like just yesterday you were ranting about how we'd be stuck like this the rest of our lives," I said, a small smile finding its way on my face.
Jake sighed, running his hand through his brown hair. "Well it just all depends on how this practice goes right? If we're horrible or can't come up with a song then who knows what'll happen on Monday."
I never got to answer because something- no- someone had decided to run into me, knocking me off my feet. My bookbag went flying as I scrambled to stay standing, I failed miserably. Groaning, I picked myself up before looking at a cheeky grin from no other than Logan Harrison.
"Guess I swept you off your feet huh?" he winked, showing off a set of perfectly white teeth.
"Well I'm pretty sure shoving the girl on the ground isn't what that phrase means," I said, picking up my abandoned bag and walking closer to the Music Room.
"Oh well, close enough, " he said, bumping into my shoulder as he matched my stride. He was getting a tad bit to close for my liking. I had after all, just met him yesterday. Jake, bless his crazy soul, came in between us, managing to shove me into a wall.
"Well let's make sure that doesn't happen to my little sister again, okay? After all, we wouldn't want anybody to get hurt right? " he said, the protective older brother coming out of him.
It sickens me.
After all, who wants their brother to go all overprotective on them?
Logan's face grew serious as he nodded, his eyes got a mischievous look. "Of course. Who'd want to hurt such an adorable girl?" he said, before taking off towards the door.
A blush snuck itself onto my face as I followed Logan. Jake had decided to mumble a few curses under his breath before coming inside. Andrea came in moments later, still in her cheerleading uniform. I dumped my bag on the ground as I laid on Mr Walker's couch.
"So let's get started! I wanna be good to go on Monday," Andrea said excitedly, laying down and rocking the hammock gently.
"Okay then first things first. What should we name the band? How about, Nerds Unite? " Jake asked.
Andrea quickly shot that down. "Sorry honey but I refuse to be known worldwide as a nerd. This body is anything but nerdy. "
"How about something with like, a number in it? You know like OneRepublic, One Direction or Twenty-One Pilots? " Logan suggested.
"Alright, but what number? I don't want something like sixty-nine," Andrea asked.
"Okay well, how about the number of people in our close family? There's twelve people in me and Jake's living, immediate family, " I said.
"I have five people in my family so there's seventeen, " Logan added, twirling his drumsticks around.
"Alright and I have three older brothers, plus my parents and I, that's six. So twenty-three. Twenty-Three what? ," Andrea piped in from her hammock.
"OH I GOT IT !! " Jake jumped up with excitement. " How about Twenty-Three Flights? Because you know, if we win and decide to live in California then it'll be twenty-three flights for us to bring our family with us. "
"That's actually pretty good, I like it, " Andrea said, smiling at Jake for his stroke of genius.
"Now that our name is settled we need to agree on something else. What song should we audition with?" I asked.
Everyone was deep in thought as a comfortable silence entered the room, that is until Andrea jumped up from her hammock.
"OH I GOT IT !! Jake and Liz are siblings right? We should audition with..."
Authors Note:
I just need to say this. WATTPAD HATES ME !!
I get on and somehow Chapter 6 gets deleted. So I had to rewrite it and just now got done. (Sulks)
But Anywho, it's up again! I hope I'll be able to update tomorrow but truthfully its a slim chance because well, I have to be at school (on a SATURDAY? ) from 7AM to 1PM for a craft fair. I'll be painting faces! (hands shake from nervousness of poking someone's eyes) Then my parents are gonna have visitors and I won't be able to hide in my room. I'll be taking care of children.
Also, who here has seen frozen? (raises hands) I saw it last week and fell in love. I've been asking people to build snowmen with me for the past few days. No one wants to. But, I guess I have to LET IT GO !!
Question of the day: What is your favorite genre of music? Who's your favorite artist?
Mine is rock or sometimes pop. Depends on my mood. My favorite artist is OneRepublic, or Imagine Dragons.
Extra Question : Do you wanna build a snowman? It doesn't have to be a snowman.
