Amber's POV
I struck the last cord on my bass as we end the song. "Yeah!" I yell. "Guys that was really good!" Gigi shakes her head.
"You're just saying that so we would keep doing this." she says. But I see her smile. She enjoys this, we all do. I start to pack up my bass when I hear the doorbell.
"I'll get it!" I say as I jump over the equipment. I leave the garage and go to the front door and open it. I see a man in a trench coat and sunglasses looking real shady. He hands me a card.
"Hey. I'm Chad. I was just walking down the street when I heard you guys jamming out. I'm a little bit of an agent. I can help you guys out. I think you're really talented." he says. He takes off his sunglasses and I see he looks like a douchebag.
I scoff. Is this guy real? Behind me Amy shows up but Chad ignores her. "Hey so... What's your name?" he says to me. I lean on the door before replying.
"Amber Funk." I turn to Amy. "And this is Amy Funk." He looks surprised.
"Sisters? Well you don't look alike. I mean you have different colored hair." he says. I sigh and roll my eyes. We don't really show we are sisters. Its not like we try to hide it, people just don't know. Amy steps in front of me.
"So an agent you say? How many clients? Just us?" Amy says to him. He doesn't answer. Well looks like he doesn't have any clients yet. But we do need to book a gig...
I open the door to let him in. "Come in Chad. Let me show you the rest of our group." I lead him to the garage. I introduce him to Kourtney. "This is Kourtney." I say. "She brings a little bit of diversity into the group. We are not racist!" I look around for Gigi but can't find her. "The other one probably went home but that's it."
Chad nods. "So? Will you accept me to be your agent? I won't even ask for pay until you get paid." I sigh and look at Kourtney and Amy. They both nod. I shake Chad's hand.
"Alright Chad. We have a deal. So when is our gig? Two weeks?"
"More like today..." Chad says sheepish. I glared at him. "Well I knew you would say yes. I have great persuasive powers." I grab Chad and push him out of the door.
"We have practicing to do." I say.
"Ok." says Chad. "Its at Abs Pizzeria. I'll be there a little late but-" I slam the door in his face. What an asshole. I call Gigi and tell her the whole story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Its 7:00 and we are back stage at the pizzeria. I look out the curtain and find a drunk guy molesting some teenagers. I turn back to the girls. "Bad crowd." I say.
It all comes down to this. If they don't like us we can never work. The curtain comes up and I look to Amy. She freezes. Oh no! She's having a panic attack! The people are confused. Why did we have to have someone really shy to be our singer. Gigi whispers to her. "You can do it Amy. Just pretend we are at the garage." Amy nods and slowly starts to sing.
If your going to hell
Do you have room for one more
For a troubled soul
I'm an imperfection
Don't deserve you nowWe play normally now that Amy had her courage but I still don't know if they and the owner likes it. Finally we are done. We wait for applause but we get none. Did we suck so bad we don't even deserve applause? The curtain falls and we go backstage. Kourtney starts pacing.
"They hate us. They do." she says. She sits in the floor. "Well it was fun while it lasted." We all agree. Our dream is over.
The owner came backstage. "They loved you! I talked to them, they said you were so amazing they were speechless! You have to come in next week!" he said. He left and we all jumped up and cheered. I had an idea.
"Hey guys lets go party! I know this cool club downtown, and no Gigi its not the illegal type. Come on lets go!" I said. Gigi nods and went to change. Chad came in.
"Sorry I'm late." he said. "But the owner said you were amazing! See you can trust me." I laugh and tell him we are going to the club downtown and he should come. "Ok but I'll be late." I roll my eyes. As usual.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We walk into the club and Deep Throat comes on. We all dance and twerk. After a while me and Gigi walk to the bar. "So, who is this agent? He sounds hot." she says. I order a vodka cranberry since I want to take it easy. I look to Gigi.
"Oh that's right you've never met him. He is kinda hot. Don't go sleeping with him because he's now our work partner." Gigi nods.
"So what's his name?" Gigi asks. But before I can answer the bartender gives Gigi a martini. The bartender points at a crowd of people.
"From that gentlemen there." Gigi raises her eyebrows and looks. "Oh I see him. He is so hot. Don't mind if I sleep with him do you?" I laugh and tell her to go ahead and have some fun I try to look for the guy but he is lost in the crowd. Gigi goes to look for him.
I go back to dancing with Kourtney and Amy. Soon I feel someone grinding me I turn around and see its a guy. I slap him and punch him in the balls. How dare he!
"Come on girls lets go." I say to Kourtney and Amy. I look for Gigi and see her walk out of the club and into a man's car.
"Ooo Gigi is getting lucky tonight!" Kourtney says. I look close and gasp.
"Oh my God she's going to sleep with Chad! The guy is Chad! They don't know each other so they think its just random a person!" The car sped off and we couldn't do anything to stop her.
Kourtney takes off her heels and starts to walk. "Don't use Gods name in vain." she sighs. "Come on. Lets go to sleep. We have to tell her the bad news tomorrow and how awkward its going to be."
I take off my high heels and walk home.
