~Erika~

I'm hanging out with Summer and Freddy right now at Freddy's house. 

"Hey guys? Do you think Zack like Tomika better than me?" I asked. Summer looked up from her phone, "No, I think he likes you both the same." She said.

"Well, I feel like he likes her." I said sadly. "Zack doesn't like Tomika. Trust me." Freddy said and I smiled. "Wait, do you like Zack!?" Summer squealed. "Yes...maybe." I said blushing.

"Oh my god! You like Zack! You two would honestly be so cute together. " Summer said.

(I don't know If any of you forgot or remember Erika but she is played by Lilimar Hernandez)

"Yeah, I think we would work out. I honestly don't like Tomika." I said nonchalantly. "What? You don't like her? She's the best!" Summer said and Freddy nodded.

"I like her voice and all but something about her just makes me not like. It's the fact that she is all over Zack." I stated while playing with my hair. "Well they have been friends for the longest time and they're pretty close." Freddy said.

"Well if we start dating, he can't have her so close like that all the time." I said and Summer shrugged. "Don't separate them too much though. Zack is Tomika's support. He's her rock." Summer said.

"Well that rock is about to turn to pebble." I said mischievously. 

~Tomika~

The next day at school was pretty fine until something happened.

"Hey, Tomika." Zack greeted me. "Hey!" I ran up to him and gave him a hug. "Why do you seem so excited to see me? You literally slept over at my house on Saturday." He laughed.

"Well I'm just excited to see my only genuine friend." I said which made him frown. "Wipe that frown off your face and be happy! Why are you sad?" I asked and he quickly stopped frowning.

"Nothing, T. Let's go." he said and we started walking inside. All of a sudden, I see Summer walking with Freddy, Lawrence and......Erika? Why is SHE is here.

"Hey, Zack and Tomika." She said as she approached us. "Did I tell you Erika transferred to our school?!" She asked and Zack and I both shook our heads while Summer gave Erika a hug. "Yeah, I was getting tired of my old school so I told my dad I wanted to come to your school! I'm really liking it so far. Hope I can make some friends!" She said and I gave her a fake smile.

"Zack can you show me around?" She asked with innocent eyes. "Actually, Tomika and I are heading to class. Summer can you?" Zack asked. "Actually I was going to talk to Tomika as well about something-" "Great!" he said pulled me to the classroom. The bell rang and the students started piling in.

"Okay class. We have a new student. Erika, please introduce yourself." he said. "Hi I'm Erika. Most of you may know me from my quinceanera that you played at." She said. "Where do I sit?" She asked.

"Well I like to place new students in the front so....Tomika or Summer, do you mind giving up your seat?" he asked. "I need to be up here, remember, my eyes." Summer said and Mr. Finn nodded.

"Sorry, Tomika." he said and I got up with my stuff.

"It's okay. Where's my new seat?" I asked. "Way back there." he pointed to a back row seat in the far corner. Great. The farthest seat from my friends.

I sighed and sat down. "Okay so you know we are a band so there is no reason to try to hide it. So everyone, arrange the classroom!" Mr. Finn said and we started moving desk and pulling out instruments.

I grabbed my bass and plugged it into the amp while Zack and Mr. Finn did as well. 

"Erika, can you sing?" Summer asked her. "Yea, a little. I'm not sure I'm very good." She said. "Oh come on. Just try." Mr. Finn said and she walked over to the mic. I was holding it firmly in my hand that my hand was starting to sweat.
