We've All Been More Than Eager To Syn

What Was That Brain?!

I got to the university about 10 minutes early. I parked my car and grabbed my purse and went inside. I went to the auditorium through the back, since some people were already in the audience. I grabbed the music scores and my conducting stick and waited for the band to take their seats. The curtain was covering us, so we all got in our places. The songs I would conduct the band to play were Colonel Bogey, Canticle, and New World Symphony, in that order.

"You guys ready?" I asked them.

They all nodded. I brought my hands up as they put their instruments in playing position. The curtain came up and people started clapping.

"Ladies and gentlemen, with you, the Ensemble Of Winds And Percussion Of California, conducted by Miss Michaela Sanders."

"Alright guys, let's rock this place." I whispered to them and smiled. I inhaled and started conducting. Once we finished Colonel Bogey, we moved on to Canticle. We ended with New World Symphony. I told the band to stand up. I turned and we all bowed. The audience clapped and I looked into the crowd. I gasped softly when I saw Matt there. I didn't think he was coming! I smiled at him and he smiled back. The rest of the guys were with him also. The curtain closed again and we went to pack our things.

I went to get my purse and saw Charlotte, the only girl saxaphone player in the band. We had 3 alto and 2 tenor saxophones and she played alto.

"Hey Charlie." I said. Her and I were pretty good friends. She was a nice girl and was really passionate for music.

"Oh hi Micky." I hugged her while she hugged me back.

"Good job." I told her as we broke the embrace.

"Thanks." she smiled.

"Charlie, would you like to come with me and my friends to dinner?" I asked her.

"Um...okay."

"Great." she went to put her case in it's place and we went out through the back stage. There, standing outside the back exit was Matt, Zacky, Johnny, Brian, and my best friend, Erica. Matt went up to me and hugged me.

"That was great, Micky." he told me.

"Thanks Matt." we pulled apart and I introduced Charlie the guys and girl.

"Charlie, this is my brother, Matt. Thats my best friend, Erica. My other friends are Johnny and Zacky. And that's my brother's annoying friend, Brian." I pointed to each of them as I said their names. Brian glared at me when I said "my brother's annoying friend". I smirked at him.

Charlie gave a shy, "Hi."

"Well let's go eat something." Zacky said and we headed to a diner.

After dinner, we all went to our separate houses. Matt and I were driving home with the radio full blast on the song "Girl I Know", from their band Avenged Sevenfold. Matt was driving and I was in the passengers seat and we were singing at the top of our lungs.

"You won't believe the stories I've been told, about a girl I know!" we sang. We parked in our drive way and cut off the engine.

We got out of the car. Matt locked his black dodge charger. He put his arm around my shoulders as we walked into our house. We walked in and took our jackets off. It was about 11:56 so I was pretty sleepy.

"Matt, I'm going to bed."

"Okay. Sweet dreams Micky."

I went up stairs to my bedroom. I walked in and changed to my pjs. Since it was June, it was pretty hot. I put on some boxer shorts and a purple v neck shirt. I put my hair up into a messy pony tail instead of my bun. I slipped under the covers of my bed and closed my eyes. Within a few minutes, I slipped into a deep sleep.

He ran his finger up my arm. It sent chills up my body. I looked into his eyes and I felt love. Love for him. He grabbed my chin lightly and brought my lips to his. I melted when his lips touched mine. The kiss...it was passionate. I grabbed his shirt and brought him closer to me. He grabbed my upper thigh and brought it closer to him. He broke the kiss and kissed my neck.

"I love you." I whispered.

"I love you too." he said and planted a kiss on my lips.

I woke up. My heart was beating fast. What was that brain?! A dream about Brian? And that kind of dream?! Weird... But the weirder thing was that I did enjoy the dream.

I decided I wasn't going to go back to sleep so I got up. I fixed my hair and went to the living room. I sat on the couch and turned on the little magical box. I changed channels till something interesting came on. Spongebob Squarepants. You can never go wrong with Spongebob.

I was laughing really hard when Matt walked in. He gave me a weird look and took a seat next to me. He looked at the t.v. to see what was making me laugh so much.

"That show still makes you laugh?" he asked me.

I nodded my head. "Of course it does. You can never go wrong with Spongebob." I said as I finished laughing.

"True that." he said. We spent about an hour watching cartoons when the doorbell rang.

"I've got it." I said and got up to open the door. I opened it and saw it was Synyster.

"Hey Micky."

"Oh. Hi Brian." I stepped aside and he walked in. I was headed to my room when he grabbed my wrist.

"Don't go just because I came. It's like if you hate me."

"I don't hate you. But I don't like you either." I said and freed my wrist and went to my room.

When I walked into my room, I closed the door and locked it. I fell on the couch looking up at the ceiling. Why didn't I like Brian? Was it really because he flirted a lot? Or was it something else? I spent a while thinking these questions over and over in my head, when I heard a knock on my door.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"It's me, Matt." I got up and went to unlock the door. I smiled at him and let him in. We sat down on the bed and he looked at me.

"What's up?" I asked him.

"Look...Brian and I just don't know why you don't like him." I sighed.

"Because he's a flirt. He flirts with every girl that he sees, including me, and it annoys the shit out of me." I said. Matt looked at me with a look of disbelief.

"Brian flirts with every girl he meets?" he asked.

"Uhh yea." I said.

"You sure we're talking about the same Brian? Brian Haner? Also known as Synyster Gates?" he asked again.

"Yes, Matt!" I said.

"He doesn't flirt with anyone but you, Micky. Don't you see?"

"See what?" I asked.

"Damn...you really are blind."

"What don't I see Matt?!" I rose my voice.

"Don't you see that-" he got interrupted when Brian opened the door.

"Uhm...is everything okay? I heard screaming so I came." he said.

"No, it's okay. I was just leaving." Matt said and got up and left the room. Brian looked at me.

"You okay?" he asked me.

"Yea. Why wouldn't I be?" I asked.

He shook his head. "You looked upset."

"I'm...I'm okay. Don't worry." I said and gave him a reassuring smile.

He smiled back and for the first time, I saw how beautiful his smile was.

"Okay. Glad to hear that." he said and closed the door and went with Matt.

There was this feeling in the pit of my stomach that felt weird. It felt different. What was it? And was this feeling because of Brian?
