"I dare you to sing a song for us, properly." Tristan smirks, i groaned, what song could i even sing?

i sighed in defeat, and i grabbed James' guitar from the corner of my eye, and started strumming.

Connor had his bass guitar on his lap, he was doing a few chord practices, James had his electric guitar on his lap too.

"Written on these walls are the stories that i can't explain.." i started, Connor started doing a little strumming too. "I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days." i continued, James started playing a few chords.

"She told me in the morning she don't feel the same about us in her bones.." Tristan stood up, and grabbed a beat box and started catching up on the beat.

"seems to me that when i die these words will be written on my stone." i smile through the song. "and i'll be gone, gone tonight." Connor and James did a few harmonies, "the ground beneath my feet is open wide, the way that i've been holding on too tight, with nothing in between." i continued singing.

Me, James and Connor started singing the rest of the song, as we played different instruments. As soon as we ended, James looked at all of us. Smiling widely, "Guys.." James chuckles.

"I'm in a band!" James grins, we all laughed and cheered. realizing that we, ourselves started a band.

.......

"Beautiful Palace." Connor smiles. "Ugh, suckish." i scoffed, "hell no, please." James scowled. "White Green." Tristan suggests, "No." i quickly reply. "No." Connor and James say at the same time.

"there must be a good band name around there." James thought. "The Vamps." i say, "what?" Connor looks at me, "Could you repeat that again?" James raised an eyebrow.

"The Vamps."

They all looked at each other, "i guess, i'll go with that one." Tristan says, "same goes to me." Connor grins. "I'm into it." James smiles. "The Vamps, it is."

"that was one good story." Niall smiles, "so you all met in Birmingham's Classic?" Luke raises his eyebrows, I nodded. "We were famous in our school, even if you ask Anne and Luke about it." I winked at me.

"Luke?" Ross nearly choked on his food. "What do you mean by asking Luke?" Ross furrowed her brows. "Oh this Doncaster hottie, isn't really from Doncaster." I wrapped my arm around Luke's neck.

"You were from Birmingham's Classic too, Luke?" Ross looked at him, Luke coughed and nodded in defeat. "Anne was my ex girlfriend, remember. I transferred here in Doncaster's Crossfield because mum thought i'd become well-behaved if i did." Luke explains.

"Birmingham's Classic, was a fine school, no uniforms, where skater boys exist and where you could find the great band named The Vamps." Luke rolled his eyes. "So, you weren't a hearthrob back in those days?" Ross laughs, "Stop laughing at me, well yes, i wasn't a hearthrob, since The Vamps does go to our school." Luke frowns.

"What a past." Jade laughs, everybody laughed. "It's okay, Buddy, i went through that stage." I winked at Luke, the bell rung. I grabbed my bag and i walked out of the cafeteria.

.......

"You're late by five minutes!" James sounded angry, "when did i ever become late in meeting you here?!" I shout back. "whatever, just get in the damned car." James shouts. I sighed and got in the car.

we drove back to the hotel. James was quiet, and when i try to start a conversation he just makes it more awkward, I opened the door, Connor and Tristan were playing a video game as they rumbled on each other.

"Cool! can i join?" i smile, Connor throws me a controller, and we all started playing, "if you guys want dinner, just call me." James states, "Okay." we all answered.

As soon as the game ended, Connor groaned. "I win!" i grin, "no fair." Connor pouts, "you just didn't do a great job, Conny-boy." Tristan teases, "whatever." Connor rolls his eyes. "Oh and by the way, Brad, are you free tomorrow?" Tristan looks at me.

"we'll see, why?" I ask, "we'll be going to hang in the mall today, we'll be hanging in F.D. and watch a few horror movies." Connor smiles, "Okay! Sure!" i smile. "Great. See ya tomorrow." Tristan smiles as he walks up the stairs.
