The Love Song Project |Completed|

Lets Practice Together?

Summer's P.O.V

I woke up and did my morning routine. While I was eating breakfast all I was thinking about is how we are going to practice in groups. If only it were pairs. I'd choose Freddy of course and Lawrence will choose Esme and that will leave Tomika with Zack and they will admit their feelings. My plan will work because I am the band manager and know how to make plans that will actually work.

I ate my breakfast and started to walk to school. I usually meet Tomika at school since her mom doesn't drive her anymore so she takes the bus. Did I mention she takes Zack's bus? I know right! It's like my plan is working by itself. I can just sit back and watch its screen out in front of me and watch my friends fall in love.

I arrived at school and saw Tomika talking to Freddy at the entrance. I felt a wave of jealousy in my stomach. All they talk about is skateboarding. There is nothing to worry about and plus, Tomika likes Zack. I walked up to them and they immediately stopped talking and froze.

"What's going on guys?" I asked them. They both stood there staring at me. "We were uh, having a private conversation. That's all! Nothing more nothing at all." Tomika said nervously. This girl is just too obvious. They're hiding something. "Uh huh," I said skeptically. "Tomiks, you know you can tell me anything right? You to Freddy. What's going on?" I asked them once again.

"Nothing Summer can you just let it go. Stop being so nosy all the time." Freddy said annoyed and walked away. I was offended. The boy I like thinks I'm nosy. Tomika shrugged and began walking away. I pulled back her hand.

"Hey, Tomiks do you mind working with me for the group practice sessions today?" I asked hopefully. This wasn't a part of my plan but I don't think Freddy really wants to talk to me right now.

"Oh, I wanted to pick Zack but I guess I could work with you." Tomika sighed. I could see the sadness in her eyes. She wanted to work with Zack, not me. "You know what Tomika forget it. I'm picking Freddy." I said and walked away from her.

We walked into class and Mr. Finn arrived 20 minutes later.

"Okay, class! Today we are practicing in groups yay!" Mr. Finn said and everyone groaned. "I thought about it and some of you goof off and I need to give you an actually grade so I chose the partners. I think I made some pretty smart choices." Mr. Finn said and began to read the list. "…Joana and Michael, Esme and Lawrence, Zack and Tomika, Summer and Freddy. Enjoy." He said as he sat down in his chair.

I saw Tomika walk over to Zack and Lawrence and Esme sit next to each other. Freddy just sat there in his seat looking at me with the plainest face I have ever seen. I didn't know if he was mad or not. "Hey, Mr. Finn can I change my partner please?" I whispered to Mr. Finn. He laughed. "Summer I chose these partners for a reason. Plus, I know about your little crush on Freddy. Just go talk to him" Mr. Finn said and pushed me towards Freddy.

"Hey Summer, I think we should get started practicing," Freddy said and I sat next to him and we began to talk about our songs. I don't think he felt my song was about him but I felt like his song was for me. Probably for Kale.

Tomika's P.O.V

Zack and I are practicing our songs and I see him blushing the entire time and I can feel myself heating up too. Does he like me? Or is he nervous? I have to ask.

"Uh, Zack?" I asked and he looked up but refused to make eye contact. "Hey, buddy over here!" I snapped in his face and he looked me in the eye. "Why are you so nervous around me now?" I asked and he looked shocked. "Me? Nervous around you? You're always nervous around me. Yesterday you couldn't even talk to me in full sentences. It was all just blushing." He said and I stayed quiet. He took a deep breath and finally spoke. "Tomika do you like me? Like, have a crush on me?" He asked nervously.
