"You know, for a band we could make? You could take these vinyls there, I could share my house with you, since I'm lonely. We could ask someone else for our band, audition, you know. Since you literally needs a place to put these vinyls." He told me excitedly, winking to me.

I laughed. "Come on, you can't handle that. I have hundred of vinyls, you really want me to? I mean, how would my mom, dad, Seth or Conner said if they saw all of my stuff were missing? They would kill me, obviously." I pushed his shoulder, earning a soft giggle from his mouth.

"It's not like that, you could tell your family. You could stay there whenever you want, I'll let you." He offered.

"You're serious? But please don't make me drunk again." 

"I wouldn't." He laughed, as I earned a soft punch on my hand.

I smiled at him, winking. "Well, I accept it."

"Seriously?" He asked, widening his eyes and his mouth.

"Yep."

"Yay!" He shouted, embracing me in a tight hug.

I moaned. "Please stop!"

"Okay, I'm just that excited." He pulled away, putting his two hands up.

"I'm excited as you, you know." I smiled, as he smiled back.

"Well, when do you want me to take these vinyls?" 

"Anytime," I stare at the vinyls. These will be gone anytime soon, to the house of my love. He just asked me to live with him, as friends, I know. But these just making me excited, you know.

"How about after your detention? After the bad things must come the good things, right?" He grinned.

I laughed. "Sure, I'll be ready with my vinyls. But I'll make sure I leave some vinyls for me to listen."

"Sure you have to." He winked, smiling the sweetest.

"Please, talk to me!" I shouted at him, getting a great glare from the teacher passing by.

"What is it to be told?"

"I'm moving in to his house, as band mates, as friends. That night I slept by his side, I woke up without him on my side. He has a house, for him and his band mates who had broken up. He asked me to be on the same band as him, and I said yes. What if we just completely honest to each other? No more lies?" I told him, looking straight into his eyes as he moved his stare to mine.

"What? You're moving in that house?" Anger in his eyes grown wild.

"I pay my rent there, I need to be away from my family." I told him lies, I didn't pay any rent nor did I want to be far from my family. What have I told him? I told him about no lies, but I just lied to him. How stupid I am. "Conner moving in there too." I widened my eyes at what I said. Oh my, this can't be good. Please Emily, stop the lies! "Conner will always watching me."

"Seriously?" He asked, giggling sarcastically.

"Yes, Kale!" I practically screamed at him, but I don't really care at this moment. "I'm going to take all of my vinyls to his house this afternoon. Maybe you could come."

He sighed. "I don't know, Emily." He told me, leaving me with no hope to the detention room.

I was extremely shocked that he got detention as well. I want to ask him so badly of how he got to detention.

It is stupid of how I punched Ryder right on the face. It is stupid as well that I got detention of doing something amazing. Well, I do think it's amazing. I could punch that bastard, you know.

I sighed, knowing I have detention today. For hours. Thank goodness Steve going to pick me and my vinyls up to his house today.

I walked in to the detention room, looking around to see five guys over there, including Kale who sat on the front row of the seat. They all seems creepy to me, really. Since there's only one girl in the room on the back seat, I sat right next to her. She looks a bit dark with hair hiding her face. "Hi," I greeted her, earning a confused stare from her. "Okay if you don't want to talk to me." I told her.

"You're Emily? Punching Ryder was the coolest thing." He told me, in her quiet voice.

I laughed. "Really?"

"No more talking, no sleeping and no moving from your seat." The teacher suddenly came in. "You'll stay here for six hours. I'll be watching you guys." He left us, and the other guys started to do their own freaky stuff.

"Ryder is the meanest guy in this school, you know. He did this to my arm." She pulled her sleeve down and showed me a cut on her wrist as I was shocked.

"Oh my god! You didn't tell that to the police? You should!" It was bad, really bad. He hurts everyone, even girls.

"No! I can't! He threatened me."

"What kind threat?" I asked curiously.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell." He apologized, looking to the ground.

"I'm sorry."

"That's fine." She told me.

The teacher didn't realize what we were doing because I was talking to Skylar the whole time. She's a nice girl, and she could play drums as well. Isn't that amazing?

"Well, if you know Steve, I'm making a band with him. Since it's only the two of us, he would play the bass and I'll play the guitar. And we need more player in our band, would you join? You would be an amazing drummer!"

"Really? I can join your band? I would love to!" She told me excitedly, looking out trough her messy short dark brown hair which is covering her face.

I watch Kale who's practically staring at me, his expression was unreadable. I turned my stare back at Skylar.

"Yes, you're joining the band," I said loudly, earning stares from the people in the room. I smiled cockily at Kale, completely ignoring the other guys. He stared at me confused, but then turned his stare at the teacher's table.

"You're coming with me this afternoon, we are going to try our first song!" I screeched, extremely excited to the fact that I got a new band mates.

"Please! I'm begging you, Conner! I told Kale you are coming to Steve house with us! You could join the band as well! It'll be fun, you know!" I hugged his torso, begging him to come with us.

He sighed. "Okay! Since you keep begging me the whole time, I'll come."

I squealed, making Skylar and Steve jumped. "We're gonna be in a band!" I hopped, making Skylar, Steve and Conner stared at me like I was crazy.

"Okay, Steve, if Kale asked you that I pay rent at your house, tell him yes. Because I'll literally pay the rent." I told him.

"No, you don't have to pay any rent, I'll tell him that. I can't believe you're a liar." 

"Come on, don't be mad at me. I have to tell him that." I begged him, earning a glare from Steve. 

"Okay, let's grab all of your vinyls, clothes and stuff!" Conner screeched.

"Yay!" I shouted, before I was up in my bedroom, I was shocked to see that outside of my window. My ecstatic face turned confused. "Wait here, I'll be back."

"Emily, what's wrong?" I heard Steve said but I ignored him, he would see this anyway.
