I look over at Oliver who is smiling ear to ear. "You told her we should do Deathbeds?! That's my favorite song!" I throw my arms around him getting some stares from the other classmates. I was so happy I just ignored everyone else. Miss. Baxter continued to speak "everyone the songs we do as a choir entirely are all Disney themed, the one you will practice today will be when you wish upon a star. A favorite of mine. So everyone minus Oliver and Daisy go practice The sheet music is in a pile over there." She smiled and waved me and oli over. "So Daisy do you know this song." I nodded with a huge smile on my face. "Perfect so I will be putting you two in the booth to sing and practice, the cool this is no one can hear you so it'll be nice. There's some headphones in there for you two since it'll help hear the both of you better and the music. Anyway I can trust you two in there, correct?" We both nod and then head off to begin the practice. There was a concert in December which gave us only around 2 months to prepare. Kinda nerve wracking. We walk into the booth, which has no windows. Oliver better not try anything. As soon as the door shuts he smirks at me." So what do you wanna do?" "Well Oli we have to practice, like we are supposed to." I flash a cheesy smile at him. He rolls his eyes," you're no fun. It's not like you don't know the whole song inside out and backwards!" "Hmm y'know I didn't know a song could be inside out." I said being cocky. He playfully glared at me,"you're lucky you are cute." I smile and we begin to practice Deathbeds. The music plays in my earphones and I feel at peace. Instead of Oliver Sykes singing it's Oli and I think he may be better than Oliver, well at this song at least. Eyes like a car crash I know I shouldn't look but I can't turn away, body like a whiplash...when he says that line he winks at me. Not surprising. Soon It's my turn to sing with him. I don't know what it is but I felt the urge to kiss Oli. I guess it's just a mix of him getting my favorite song for us to sing and his amazing voice and everything about him. I peck him on the cheek instead of kissing him, just in case the teacher comes in. He looks at me and raises his eyebrows. "And you thought I would be the one being unprofessional. Shame on you Miss. Hope." He shakes his head and smiles. I bite my lip," Sorry, I guess I couldn't help myself. And you smell really good despite not showering which kinda scares me." We both laugh and the teacher barges in," we being productive in here?" We both nod," we just ran through the song but it was terrible so we laughed sorry." She looked at us and just walked out." It wasn't terrible, well you weren't Oli. I just don't wanna get in trouble by saying I kissed your cheek." He winked and leaned in to kiss me." N-" I was cut off by his lips colliding with mine. I kiss him back but quickly pull away so we don't get caught. He frowns at me," why did you stop? Are my lips dry or something?" I smile and try to keep from laughing. "No....wait a minute. She said this was sound proof but she still heard us laughing." My eyes widen and so does his." We probably forgot to shut the door all the way." I offer and we both agree to that.

"Yo Matt did you bring extra clothes for your old pal?" Matt rolls his eyes and throws me a long sleeve shirt and a pair of long pants."Thanks man." I change and head out with Matt. "Hey Matt, I have to kinda tell you something." "What is it Sykes?" " i- well Daisy and I may or may not be dating. Please don't kill me." I get ready for him to yell at me and call me a bad friend but he just kinda stares at me. "It's cool, but look don't hurt her. You seem to have a trend of doing that to a lot of girls and Daisy is different and I don't want you to hurt her okay?" I'm happy that he said that but I seem to hurt all the girls who get with me. But I don't think Daisy will be like them either. It was on my mind the whole practice. After it was over I kissed Daisy goodbye and drove home. I got home to my mom who looked a tad annoyed with me with my twin brother and sister behind her with their arms crossed. "You could of at least texted me you would not come home last night." She said "I'm sorry mom I thought I was but I fell asleep at a friend's house." My sister scoffed at me saying that, "Sure Oliver you 'fell asleep' at a 'friend's house'" she put quotes around some of her words. Have my family really caught on with my ways? "It's the truth Rebecca. I fell asleep at a friend's." Well it wasn't true since I was dating the friend but nothing happened besides Daisy screaming like a little girl at the horror movies. "Oliver just text me next time okay? I was worried, set the table for dinner it'll be done soon." "Okay mom" I walked over to start my task.
*pov of Daisy*
I walked home to see my mom still wasn't home. I wonder where she went. I hope she was okay. I texted her "hey mom, are you okay? Why haven't you been home?" I went into the kitchen to make myself dinner which ended up being leftover pizza. I decided to text oli but then decided not to since he probably was having dinner with his family. I walked over to the couch and put on 21 Jump Street. A favorite movie of mine. After a while I text Oli, "hey hot stuff, you get home okay?" I smirked. I hope he's good with his new nickname. Within seconds he responds. "You think I'm hot! I knew it. But yeah, did you cutie?" "I did, thanks for asking." I decided I needed to shower. After drying off I put on a large Fall Out Boy shirt and texted Oli, "good night Oli<3" i plugged my phone in and went to sleep. Hopefully my mom was okay.
