Ch.3 A Cute Stranger

(Grace's POV)

I've known Y/n for about six months and let me tell you, she is super nice. She has a character that is different from anyone else. Y/n's really special and I hope everyone who gets to know her realizes that. We've called and face timed at camp and sent letters, but we've never actually hung out. It kinda makes me upset because I know that she's so chill and we'd have a great time. We like a lot of the same things. Well, except guys. I thought her type was different, but I guess not.

I've never seen or met her boyfriend, Luke, but from how she describes him, he's one of those obnoxious jocks that everyone dreams they could either be or be with. It sounds like they are always together and that he's one of her only friends. It's kind of sad because you don't want to just be one person's. Don't you want to expand and grow with the world, having all kinds of friends and dating all kinds of people? I'm not against her being with him, it's just sad that no one else will be able to get to know her in the sort of way that you can romantically. I think one of my friends and her would be great together, but I don't know about this Luke character. He seems like the kind of guy who would date a girl and sort of hide her away from the rest of the world, letting them wonder about her and what kind of friendship that could have been.

Other than her romantic life, I know that she's visiting Atlanta soon. I'm really excited to finally meet her in person and get to know her more. Lunar Vacation actually has a gig with Calpurnia the day she arrives, so her and her mom planned to come to the show and come home with us afterwards. Y/n and her mom are staying over at our house for a few weeks because they couldn't book anywhere else.

I had band practice today, but since it's over now I'm just at home. I'm not really doing anything, I'm just trying to think of what I could put on my resume. That I know Finn Wolfhard? Because I bet they'd hire me in for that!

I just don't know what to do. The rest of the guys already have their futures planned. Some want to go to college, the rest want to keep on making music. We sometimes talk about it but we usually try to avoid the conversation; but I know we won't be able to avoid it when it's too late. I want to go to college and get a nice paying job other than music. I mean, I know I'm pretty successful with my friends and our band, but I know that there's more to life than just chilling at Maggie's house or skateboarding or jamming on stage with my best friends. I want to grow up sometime. I'm trying to stay as young as I can for now, but if I get hired, I want to move on. I want to get married someday. I've always wanted to have kids. I promise that's not going to happen for a while, but it's just fun to think about. The only thing is, none of us can agree on which way our band is headed or if we are breaking or staying. I'm caught between. I want to stay like this forever. No one else to rely on but each other and  our music. World tour? Let's go for it! But on the other hand.. What about our future? College? Marriage? It's all happening too fast. I just feel like I'm stuck. I know you can't go back to the past, but what would happen if you stopped the future? Where are we going? We're in a loop and we don't know what to do. That's why I went to summer camp this year. Well, my mom insisted on it and I just needed a break from the stress. I love my band peeps and my fans but I felt like it was a good place to be where I can forget and just live in the present for a while instead of the past, nor the future. It was peaceful. Sometimes the present isn't so bad as people say it is. It's a little surreal to think about. You're there, in that one moment and then it's gone. Now I know why people say time is money; it's the most valuable thing on this planet.

(Your POV)

  After school, Luke drove me home and we listened to his rap music today. It wa sort okay, I didn't care for it though. It was the kind of junk that everyone listened to. I loved the days where he'd let me play Calpurnia. Even though he'd complain the whole time, I enjoyed the music.
