It Started With A Dream

Chapter 6 - The New Band

{Tracie's POV}

We've been trying to complete the whole song, but kinda unable to, because of me. I couldn't do anything right.

"You can do this yo." Peyton put down her guitar to take a break. "Practice makes perfect." I took a deep breath, then practiced and practiced until I got it perfectly. However, my hands felt very sore, and I almost couldn't more them.

Peyton looked at me as I massage my hand, "It'll wear off. You just aren't that use to it yet." she said with a concerned face. "Okay. Thanks." I replied.

"Guys, look." Paige said, as she held a camera in her hands. "You were recording us?!" Nathalie yelled, confused. "Yeah. So we could keep track on how we're doing, so we'll know if we're making progress or not." Paige replied and sat down on her drum stool, making us go to her direction, because we wanted to see the footage.

"Oh my god, I'm so ugly." Said Nathalie. "Just shut up will you." Peyton said, trying to concentrate on the video. We watched the video, and laughed at the same time. We laughed how we kept messing up some chords and laughed of how we all looked like.

I went back to where I left my bass at, and told the girls, "Let's do this again, o.e last time. If we don't oerfect this, might as well forget being a band." I don't know why I said that. "Okay, let's go." Nathalie said, grabbing her guitar.

Paige set back down the camera on the tripod, and pressed the record button.

Paige counted the rythm..

"1,2. 1,2,3,4.."

Nathalie started with the solo guitar for the intro, then we all enterned in after two bars. Then, Peyton started singing,

Don't wanna be an American idiot

Don't want a nation under the new media

And can you hear the sound of hysteria?

The subliminal mind fuck America

We all sang the chorus, with some harmonizing and then Nathalie sang the second verse.

Well maybe I'm the faggot America

I'm not a part of a redneck agenda

Now everybody do the propaganda

And sing along to the age of paranoia

After we finish, Paige stood up from her drum stool, and stopped the recording. We watched it together, and surprisingly, not a smallest laugh escaped our mouths. We actually perfected the whole song.

That was one of the best feelings ever.

"Hey, can we post it somewhere?" I asked, "Like in youtube or our facebook accounts?" "I think facebook's fine." Peyton suggested, "No one will watch it on youtube anyway."

"I think we should give it a shot and post it on youtube." Paige gave her opinion. "Oh yeah? What's going to be our band name then?" Peyton asked confidently. "20 Horizon." Paige replied, "So they can call us H20" Nathalie and I thought that was funny, but Peyton just rolled her eyes. "They can call us Melodize Clover." Peyton suggested. "Ooh, where did you get that?" I asked "From this Band Name Generator online." She said shyly. "I like it." smiled Nathalie. "Okay. I'm gonna make the account now." Said Paige.

"And... It's done. I've uploaded it as well." Paige said with a huge smile on her face.

As I was practicing my bass, Nathalie with her guitar, and Paige with her drums, Peyton was just playing random music from youtube, since she said that she doesn't have to practice anything because she'd already practiced enough. Well, I thought that was just bullshit.

She kept playing random songs, that were either boring, or old. But, one song got our attention. It was this song about an American Apparel underwear?

"Which artist is that?" I asked Peyton but keeping my head down to continue practicing the bass. "I just clicked it in the recommended videos." She replied, "I think it's a new band." "They're bringing out boy bands again?" Complained Nathalie, "There's already One Direction. One boy band is enough, if not, then the whole world will explode." I let out a smile as she says that. "Actually, they're a BAND." Peyton said as she turned her phone so it was facing us. They were a band. There were four of them. Three in the front, and the drummer is at the back. Kinda like our formation just a while ago. Their song's pretty good.

When the song ended, Paige said, "I like it. It's catchy." "Mhm." Peyton replied, as I nodded with agreement.
