 "Layla! You've got me on my knees! Layla! I'm begging, darling please! Layla! Darling wont you ease my worried mind!" Me and Skylar sang loudly on the car, making Conner gave us a long sigh.

"Would you guys stop? Or would you want me to turn off the radio?" Conner gave us a glare.

"Come on, it's fun!" I screeched, making Seth, Kale and Steve staring at us crazily.

"So, this is your band. Weird, freaky, insane." Seth taunted, giggling to himself.

"You would enjoy us, seriously. It's the best, you know. Since there's like lots of guys here." I explained.

So, we invited our closest friend or family here. It's like the best party here. Sydney, Seth and Luca are here. I met Luca yesterday and he could come over today when I invited him. Sky brought her best friend, who's avoiding her, which when she told her she had a band, her friend talked to her since. Weird. Anyway, her name is Phoebe. Doesn't seems to look like Sky, because she acts a bit bitchy. Conner brought Jessica, which I could talk to her. So far, there's ten guys here, me, Steve, Kale, Conner, Seth, Sky, Luca, Sydney, Jessica and Phoebe. I don't know that this would be our new gang, you know.

It's totally great to see these guys get along so well, especially Sydney and Luca. They're like the new couple. Jessica also enjoys chatting to the girls, and me of course. Jessica is nice, seriously. She doesn't hate me, obviously.

It's kind of bad when I know these guys would stay at Steve's house for days, because we invited them to some places. I'm glad we don't have school this week so we could celebrate our new band. We're going to get some music stuff we needed tomorrow and the next day we are going to an amusement park.

"So, you're Phoebe?" 

"Yep, I am."

"How is Skylar? Do you think she's nice?"

"I like her, but you know, her tastes in everything are terrifying. For example, her taste in music. She likes some stupid oldies while there's literally so much singer that's better. Like the rap, and Jennifer Lopez is just amazing, you know." She complained as I stare at her in wide eyes.

You know, I respect Jennifer Lopez, she's an amazing singer, but rap? I mean, rap? I couldn't think rapping is music. Do you think listening to someone talks that quickly with no great tone on their voices is good? They're just talking with no space, you know. 

"Ha ha, yeah, maybe. Well, I have to talk to Skylar about something." I excused, making her raising her eyebrows. I got away from her quickly, as I could see she approached Steve. Oh Steve, you gonna hate on her.

"Sky," I called out her, who's sitting on a sofa next to Jessica. I sat right on the middle of them, giving them a quick grin. "Hey guys!"

I stare at the big speaker in front of me when Steve asked me to carry this thing to the garage. As I saw Luca came in to check out, I asked him for a help. "Luca, can you help me with this?"

"Sure," he told me, as we both carried that extremely heavy speaker to the garage. Nobody was there, I thought Steve would be here in any minute.

I moaned. "Thank you, you're my saviour." I told him, earning a laugh from him. "So, what was that?" I said, smirking at him.

"What was what?" He stared at me in confusion, not knowing what I'm talking about. Sydney, you idiot!

"That, you and Sydney! So, isn't she a nice girl? I mean, you obviously like her." I teased, punching his arm playfully.
