Boy Band

20. Girl Power

Mikeys P.O.V.

This week was girl power week. I can't speak for everyone, but I personally am very excited to perform this week. I was in a group with Jaden and Drew this week we were performing titanium.  We are coming very close to the end on boy band and each week the stakes get higher and higher. I had a lot of faith in myself and my abilities, but there was no doubt that I was scared. I had been up for elimination twice already on the show.  A lot of other very talented singers had already gone home. I had to work hard for my spot here, prove everyone wrong.

It was Wednesday, I walked into wardrobe. To see Jay messing with Michaels outfit.

"How do you feel about girl power week?" I asked Jay.

"Females are strong as hell." She said not even looking up at me, just continuing to fix Michaels outfit.

Once it was fixed she sent him to change back onto normal clothes. She grabbed my outfit off the rack and handed it to me.

"I picked this out just for you." She said

"You say that every week." I said walking into the changing booth.

"I mean it every week." Jay responded

"You're so extra." I said putting on my outfit

"And you're not Mikey I always have to have perfect hair Jimenez." Jay responded

I laughed at her comment.

"At least I do my hair more than one way." I said

"Okay well call me when you take care of 9 teenagers like they're toddlers." Jay responded.

I walked out of the dressing room and looked at her.

"What do you think?" I asked

"I hate it, but I hate everything I pick out." Jay said, "What do you think?"

"I like it." I said

"Good." Jay said, "cause I wasn't doing that again."

"What do you mean?" I asked walking back into the changing booth

"I changed that outfit five times before I thought it was okay." Jay said

"Wow." I said, " well I bet whatever you had was great. "

"Well yes and no." Jay replied

I just laughed at her comment. She always had to have everything perfect, but up to her standards. Something could be just fine for everyone else but to her it was not fine. I never knew why Jay was like that, but according to Michael she's always been like that. It wasn't only with clothes that she picked out, also with a lot of other things like school work and food. I walked out of the dressing booth and handed Jay back the outfit.

"You always make good outfists." I said

"Then why do I always run around in sweat pants and crop tops." She said gesturing to her outfit.

"Thats cause you're always worried about everyone else." I said, "like I'm pretty sure you dress half of us on the daily."

"Some days, most days you guys just throw whatever on." Jay responded

Chance walked in.

"Hey." Chance said

"Who picked out your outfit today?" I asked

Chance looked up and down at his outfit.

"Jay." He whispered

"See." I replied, "maybe you need a day for yourself. Go shopping, get your nails done , I don't know something girls do."

"I don't have the time." Jay said handing Chance his outfit, "You guys keep me too busy, it's fine I promise."

"What did we say about its fine." I heard Chance yell through the curtain

"Shut up!" Jay yelled back, "Don't worry about me, IT'S COOL."

"Thats better!" Chance said stepping out of the dressing room

"I like your outfit dude, you look hot." I said

"Yeah I know right." Chance said

Jay just shook her head.

"Its not right." She said

Chance and I both rolled our eyes.

"its fine." Chance said

"What did we say about it fine." Jay said mocking chance from earlier.

Chance rolled his eyes while I laughed.

"It is cool." Chance said, "no need to change it."

Jay sighed.

"Fine," Jay said, "You win this time, but next time I'm changing it."

Chance walked back into the changing room.

"What are you doing here still Mike you have rehearsals." Jay said

"Piss off Mike" I said mocking jay

"your supposed to be doing something your avoiding." Jay replied, "You need to get out of here, I'll get in trouble if you're in here too long asshole."

I shrugged "no my problem.

Jay hit me on the back of the head.

"Yes your problem! Now go!" Jay said shoving me out the door.

I laughed, having her around this summer was more fun than I thought it could ever be.
