Performing The Act // 5SOS AU (Completed)

Chapter 3

Next morning, I woke up. I quickly dressed in a usual outfit for today and packed my bag. When I walked down in the early morning to make breakfast, I heard soft note of the piano in the living room. Was it an intruder? I walked through the hallway, quietly and peeked around the corner of the slightly opened door.

Okay, it wasn't an intruder. It was Matt. he looked quite frustrated about something, I don't know what. I quickly walked away as I saw he stood up and walked into the direction of the door. I made my way over to the kitchen, pretending I had been there all the time.

'Morning.' I heard a voice behind me. It was Matt's. I turned around. 'H,i Matt. Usual breakfast?' I asked, just to be polite like I had to be. 'No, can I have to slices of bread with Vegemite please?' he asked. I simply nodded, even though I was in shock. He said "please". I'm not sure if I ever heard him say that word before. He looked a bit hurt and quiet. No snappy remarks or nasty sounds? This was a whole new world to me.

'You mind if turn on the radio?' I asked. he shook his head. I turned on the radio and quietly sang along to the songs I knew. Then, Jamie All Over by Mayday Parade came on. I chuckled softly while placing Matt's plate in front of him.

'What's so funny?' he asked, a puzzled look on his face. 'Nothing, just this song.' I said, remembering how hard Mike, Calum and Ashton had sung along to this song about a week ago. In the end, Michael's cousin came in the garage, telling us to be quieter since he tried to come up with a prank for his parents. We laughed but quieted down as we went on with writing songs again.

I handed Matt his packed backpack with his lunch package already inside. I ate my own breakfast and after that, I grabbed my backpack and car keys. 'Let's go.' I mentioned him to follow me. It was Tuesday, meaning stepmom won't be up till 10 because her weekly shopping with friends always starts around 12 with lunch. Then, they're all gonna shop at expensive stores together I guess. Stepmom told me and Matt about it one time at dinner, but I did not always pay attention to what she says, ya know.

While I drove me and Matt to school, I listened to some music. Music like New Found Glory or My Chemical Romance was on. That's just great to start a morning off with, really, I'm not even being sarcastic!

I dropped Matt off in front of the school's doors as I looked around for a parking spot. As I parked my car, Calum knocked on my window. I got out of the car, locked it after I grabbed my backpack. Me and Calum were joined by the other two, Michael and Ashton, as we walked inside, talking about homework and different bands and such. 'Oh, guess what?' Michael said happily as we all stood at Ashton's locker while he grabbed his books. 'What?' Cal and I asked at the same time. 'My cousin went home again!' Michael said, big smile and happy eyes. It looked like he had just won a lottery. 'Oh, that's nice.' Ashton commented, slamming his locker shut. Michael nodded happily, agreeing. The bell rung. 'Anyway, see ya at lunch!' we all went our separate ways. Next period I would sit next to Ashton, but now I had to sit next to a girl I didn't even knew the name of!
