The Scholarship

Connor? ~ 19

Tonight Connor said that we would have a night in because I was, and still am, upset. It was more of a casual thing than posh and formal. My mother is going to one of her friends' houses for comfort. And so was I. I guess. So the house is free. I had on some casual gray jogging bottoms, a sweater, and some cute pink slippers that Con got me for Christmas.

I was just catching up with some So You Think You Have A Chance, and it was nearly finished. Only about 5 mins left, as I started watching it before. Con stayed with me once mom had left, it wasn't long ago, and now he was making his famous Lasagne and Trifle for dessert. He comes in and sat next to and faced me, with a spoon in his hand. "Try this!" He says excitedly, and shoves it in my mouth.

"It amazing! I always love your food!" I exclaim. He walks off with a smile and places the spoon in the sink. We are both kindof germaphobic. The show had finished, so I changed it the channel over to a music one. And there are 4 boys, and one of them seemed to be, no, it couldn't. Connor.

"Con?" I asked.

"Yep?"

"What's this?"

"What's wh-" He stops mid word, looking over. Then he notices the screen. "Oh," He seems shocked, "oh." He repeats.

"Would you like to explain?"

"Well, erm." Is awkwardly spoken. "You know at the audition, erm, they liked it. I know right, surprising! Well, I've been in a band, we started a few weeks ago. We're called The Vamps, and, yeah. I've not told you coz, quite frankly, it was just for fun. I was going to tonight actually. I thought it was right to say. They wanted to have a track, and I gave a video. It wasn't a serious one, just more of a joke, and yep. They said they'd pass it on, and even maybe, put it up. But they were quick, I didn't know they would do it. Probably talked to Brad."

"Cool, what's this song called?"

"Last night."

"And who's Brad?"

"The lead singer, piano, guitarist, and plays a bit of drums. That one." He points to a curly haired boy playing guitar at the front. I pause the TV, at a shot where everyone is in. "That's Tristan, Tris. And James." Tristan is on the drums and is, wow! Bit like Animal the muppet. James is also on guitar and sings, they all do, quite good looking too.

"Cool! Guessing you play bass."

"Yep!" We both laugh.

"It's really good!" I dance around the room singing along to the repeated chorus, fangirling! "My boyfriend's in a boyband, my boyfriend's in a boyband, my boyfriend's in a boyband!"
