Adopted By Pete Wentz

Chapter Three

Calypso's POV

"So the guys where going to come by tomorrow" I nod quickly and I stuff things into my bag. "You can set these up" he hands me a Mac book, iPhone 8, IPod, and a pair of headphones.  "I don't need all this.." I look down at the boxes and he rolls his eyes. "Yes, you do.  What if you get kidnapped or something bad happens, and you need to contact someone? Or you just wanna use it?"

"Fine."

- Time skip to next day -

"paTTY CAKES!!" Dad tackles Patrick and I hide behind pillows.
Joe and Andy sit on the couch, Joe next to me. I take a sharp breath and everyone sits down. "So..... What's the surprise?" Joe smiles.

Dad gets up and I squeeze my eyes shut. A pillow flies off my back, cold air hitting me. "I've adopted a child." I get pulled into the air, dangling on his shoulder. I let out a huge sigh, squirming in his grip. He drops me and I land on my feet somehow.

"Pete! You do not drop a child!" Andy and Patrick hop up, rushing over to me. "How the fuck did you land on your feet" Dad spins around and I put my beanie back on. "I'm a ninja" I smile and he laughs.

For the rest of the night we played games and ate tacos. I didn't get sick this time. "Well I'm going to sleep now." I yawn and everyone says bye. I fall asleep as my head hits the pillow.

--

I woke up many times that night. This time, I'm staying awake. Its 6 am anyways, I had to wake up in an hour. I take a white and throw on an outfit I quickly threw together. Not really good at it.
I throw my hair in a pony tail, grab my bag, and slowly walk downstairs. (Outfit above)

"Good morning" Dad sips his coffee and I wave. "Ready to go?" I nod and he pats my head. We walk out to the car and drive to the school. Holy crap. Its huge. "So you need to pick up your locker combination and shuddle from the office. Other than that your good. Have a good day sweetie." He rubs his nose and I open the door. "Bye dad." I slide out and he pulls away, leaving me at the curb.

Here we go.  I walk down the crowded hallways, earring a few glares from people. Eventually I get lost and somehow end up in the cafeteria. "Need help?" I turn around to see a girl, clearly older than me, dressed in a pink hoodie and a white skirt.

"Umm.... Yeah.. Can you show me where the office is?" She nods and grabs my hand, gently leading threw the crowds of people. I'm pretty sure I was blushing cause my cheeks felt really hot. I realise what I was doing and pull my hand from her grasp. I am not developing feelings for her. Dads gonna hate me. Owe shit- "you okay?" She grabs my attention again and I nod.

"Yeah I'm fine" she smiles and my heart burns. "Well I have to get to class. The office is at the end of this hall. Bye...." "Calypso" "Bye Calypso" She leaves and I quickly rush to the office.

Around lunch time she calls me over to a table.  Apparently she's in the preppy crowd. I do not feel comfortable sitting there. I awkwardly walk over, sitting close to the edge.

"Calypso, meet my friends. This is Jake, Lucy, and Gabe, my boyfriend." I give a fake smile. Of course. Why does everyone I crush on dating someone?? "I'll be right back." I get up and walk to the bathroom, locking myself into a stall. Basically rethinking my whole life desicions, I stay there the whole lunch period. Come to think of it I never got her name... I exit the bathroom and make my way to music class.

"Miss Wentz please pick an instrument and sit." I look at the instruments, spotting an guitar. I grab it and sit next to a kid that looks nice. How does this school afford a 800 dollar instrument.  Let alone all the equipment and everything else.

"So I normally don't do this, but this year I wanted to try something different. You will each get with as many people nessesary, and go a full band cover of a song, or write your own, your choice. At the end of this week, you will present it."

Everyone gets with people and I'm left in the dust gain. A guy walks over to me and I look up awkwardly. "Would you like to join us? We need a guitar player." I nod and walk over to  3 more people. "Okay. I'm Cameron, the singer, that is Brandon, the drummer, Chad, the rhythm guitarist, and lacy, the bassist."

"Hey" I smile and so do they. "So what genre are we doing?"
Cameron looks at everyone. "I write songs..." I trail off. "Great! Do you have any with you?" Cameron smiles. I take out my phone, pulling up a song I named expensive mistakes.

For the rest of the class we did the instrumentals. Basically we finished it.

-- time skip end of week when they preform --

"I'm so exited" Dad claps his hands and I roll my eyes. He invited basically everyone he knows, so I'm kind of - actually REALLY nervous about this. Cameron expects me to do all these fucking tricks and I can't even get the bass line right half the time. I'm also doing back up vocals.

"Poison Revolt!!" Dad and everyone leaves and my legs start shaking. We walk onto stage, the light blinding. "This song is called Expensive mistakes. All lyrics belong to Calypso Wentz."
The lights dim and we start playing.

"I was I was I was I was
Gonna say something that would solve all our problems
But then I got drunk and I forgot what I was talking about
I forgot what I was talking..

Don't you, don't you, don't you know
There's nothing more cruel than to be loved by everybody
There's nothing more cruel than to be loved by everybody but you
Than to be loved by everybody but you, but you

[Pre Chorus]
If I could get my shit together
I'm gonna run away and never see any of you again
Never see any of you again

[Chorus]
I hope the roof flies off and we get sucked into space
I always make such expensive mistakes
I know its jut a number but you're my 8th wonder
I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color
(Whoa, whoa)
When they make a darker color
(Oh, oh)
I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color

[Verse 2]
On the wrong side of p-p-paradise
And when I say I'm sorry I mean I wasn't showing up at all
I really mean I didn't plan on showing up at all

Don't you, don't you, don't you know
I hate all my friends, I miss the days when I pretended
I hate all my friends, I miss the days when I pretended with you
I miss the days when I pretended with you, with you

[Pre Chorus]
If I can get my shit together
I'm gonna run away and never see any of you again
Never see any of you again

[Chorus]
I hope the roof flies off and we get sucked up into space
I always make such expensive mistakes
I know its jut a number but you're my 8th wonder
I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color
(Whoa, whoa)
When they make a darker color
(Oh, oh)
I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color
(Whoa, whoa)
When they make a darker color
(Oh, oh)
I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color

[Bridge]
If we hadn't done this thing
I think I'd be a medicine man
So I could get high on my own supply whenever I can
I became such a strange shape, such a strange shape
From trying to fit in
I became such a strange shape, such a strange shape

[Chorus]
I hope the roof flies off and we get sucked up into space
I always make such expensive mistakes
I know its jut a number but you're my 8th wonder
I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color
(Whoa, whoa)
When they make a darker color
(Oh, oh)
I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color

(Whoa, whoa)
I'll stop wearing black
I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color"

I do a back flip and we walk off stage.
