Heartbeat // Michael Clifford (ON HOLD)

Chapter 4

When I woke up today I was in a very good mood. I jumped out of my bed and got dressed. I went to the bathroom and looked myself in the mirror. I decided to just comb my hair and let them be. I put on some mascara and lip gloss.

I grabbed my school bag and rushed downstairs to get some breakfast.

"Well good morning."

"Oh my God dad you scared me!" I jumped.

"Oh sorry my dear. I can see you're in a good mood today?" He smiled.

"Well I guess I am." I smiled back.

I ate some cereal while I was chatting with my dad.

"So did you meet any friends yesterday?" He asked.

"Yes…I actually did." I smiled and remembered how much fun I had yesterday with the boys.

"I'm really happy to hear that." He smiled back.  

Suddenly the doorbell rings.

"Oh that must be the boys." I said while getting up and rushing to the sink to clean my bowl of cereals.

"Dad could you…um" I turned around and saw that my dad wasn't by the table anymore and I could hear voices at the front door.

"Oh that's just great." I mumbled to myself.

I grabbed my stuff and rushed to the door. There I found my dad talking with Michael, Luke and Calum. Ashton wasn't there because he already graduated and he had some sort of a »job« now. The boys were akward. They were all smiling like idiots and rubbing the backs of their necks. I bit my lip so I wouldn't burst out of laughing.

"Um yeah dad we need to go so I'll see you when I get home." I quickly said and pull the guys with me. "Bye!"

"Um It was nice to meet you Mr. Gray!" Michael managed to say before I dragged them away.  

"Well that was akward." Calum smiled while we were walking towards school.

"You have a funny dad Rebeca." Michael added and smiled to me.

"Well yeah, you ingratiate to him all the time." Luke giggled.

Michael blushed and hit Luke in the shoulder. "I did not!"

"Yeah, yeah whatever." Calum added and we all laughed.

Today I actually managed to come to class without being hit in the face by anything. Michael was with me all the time and he also introduced me to a couple of his friends. I got along pretty well with a girl called Sophie. We actually spent a lot of time together then.

It was lunch time and me, Sophie and the boys were sitting in the school cafeteria and chatting.

"Hey guys listen." Michael said.

"There's a huge party at Jake's place next Friday and he asked me If our band could play there."

"Dude that's awesome!" Calum said.

"Yeah! Totally." Luke added.

"Well I already informed Ashton and he's totally for it so I guess we have a gig next week!" He smiled.

"Wow that's amazing, I'm really happy for you guys!" I smiled and gave them a hug.

3 days later

When I got home from school I decided to do my homework first and then unpack some stuff from the boxes in the living room. It was already Friday and I'm doing pretty well. I hang out with Sophie a lot, but not as much as with they boys…especially Michael, we get along pretty well.
