❝he could give this to you❞

"WHY DON'T WE!" Cindy yelled, grinning.

We looked at her with confusion shown on our faces.

"Why don't we what?" I asked.
"That's the band name! Why Don't We!" she repeated.

We still had no idea what she was talking about.

"Okay okay," she nodded and put her hands down. "The name of our band will be Why Don't We. Is it all clear?" she said.

Our heads slowly nodded.

"Let me try saying it," she cleared her throat. "We have Daniel Seavey, Jonah Marais, Corbyn Besson, Zach Herron and Jack Avery from the band Why Don't We!" she yelled.

That doesn't sound so bad.

"Wow, I kinda like it" Jonah smiled.
"Sounds good to me" I nodded, agreeing to her and putting a thumbs up.
"It's kinda funny though" Zach dryly chuckled.
"Yeah, kinda afraid to be laughed at" Jack added.

Cindy's smile slowly turned into a frown.

"You guys are right." she sighed.
"With what?" Corbyn rested his hand on Cindy's shoulder.

I furrowed my eyebrows but didn't mind it.

"It's kinda funny and not a presentable name for a band" she replied.
"No it's okay, it's actually different" Jonah nodded reassuringly.
"You guys sure? Just like Jack said i'm afraid you guys might get laughed at. I'm the band manager and I obviously care about you guys" she said.

I shook my head.

"We're good Cindy. You guys are good with the name right?" I put my hand on her shoulder and asked the boys.

They nodded.

"See? It's cool, no band has that name" I added.
"Prettymuch" Jack said.
"Hey, another reminder, I don't want you guys to compare yourselves to other bands. Just be yourselves and don't care about the haters because they would be always present" she said to which we nodded at.
"We good?" Corbyn smiled at her that made her chuckle.
"Yes" she smiled and we cheered.
"I'm going back to the office then rush to Biology if we still have time" she said and we obeyed.

After a few moments of waiting for Cindy, she finally went out with sad expressions.

"Told ya" she looked at me then skipped towards the lockers.
"The name's not applicable?" Jack asked.

We shook our heads.

"Yo I feel bad" Zach said.
"Same, she's getting too pressured with works" Corbyn added.
"Hope she'll be okay" Jonah said.
"Of course she will" I replied.

❝cindy's pov❞

"Hey Cindy, are you okay?" Ashley's voice asked.
"Uhh yeah, i'm good" I nodded, looking back at her.
"You sure? Your eyebrows have been knit since like an hour ago" she sat beside me.
"Oh that," I chuckled. "It's just that i'm getting overwhelmed in school works and band things" I replied and she nodded.
"My brother was wondering if he could give this to you" she asked and pulled out a box.

I gasped in whisper and put down my pen, getting the box from her and tearing it open.

Under the wrapper had a cassette inside. The cassette was labeled with tape with the words "Corbyn x" written.

"You should definitely check that out after classes. Surely you'd smile over that" she slightly smirked and I just giggle.
"Is it him singing or something?" I asked, curious.
"I don't know" she sang.
"Fine, i'll play that later at home" I sighed and she squealed.
"Why?" I chuckled.
"Nothing, it's just that my brother haven't been doing stuff lately and I think it's because of you" she shrugged.
"No, maybe he just moved on from that life" I replied.
"Disagreed. It's obviously about you" she said.

Sam reaches us and grabs Ashley from me.

"Bye you two" I waved at them and they waved back as they walked towards the halls.
"You've been talking to Ashley huh?" Corbyn suddenly asked, making me gasp.
"Geez Corbyn" I laughed.

He then sat beside me.

"Yeah I am, and why?" I asked and continued writing.
"It's cute" he replied, spinning in his seat.

My face heat up.

At the corner of my eye I saw him smile at me and heard him chuckle.

"I heard you're "overwhelmed" in school works and band things. You good?" he asked, making air quotations.

I shook my head, finally looking at him.

"Oh." he flatly replied.

His eyes land on my hand, seeing the cassette.

"Oh wow, she gave it to you already?" he said.
"Yeah" I nodded, giggling.
"Are you planning on listening to it?" he asked.
"Obviously I will if I have time. But even if I don't, i'd still listen to that" I replied.
"That's nice, thanks. Hope you'd like that" he smiled.
"Yeah no problem" I nodded.

"You're home earlier than I am?" I chuckled at Harvey.
"Yep, no activities to finish at school today so" he replied while I put down my bag.
"Have you aten something?" I asked, going inside my room and quickly charged my phone.
"Uhh yeah a couple of friends and I bought food" he nodded.
"There's obviously food for you that I bought. It's on the table" he quickly added and I laughed.

I got the McBurger from the table and started to eat it.

"Thanks" I said with mouthful of food and he nodded, laughing dryly.

The cassette popped in my mind and I opened my bag to get it and get the speaker to place it inside.

"What's that? Band practice?" he asked.
"Nope, just a random piece Corbyn gave" I replied.

The cassette then started to play.

Harvey went inside his room, probably not wanting to hear the music so I adjusted and went inside my room instead.

(play song)

'Cause we all get lost sometimes, you know?
It's how we learn and how we grow
And I wanna lay with you 'til I'm old
You shouldn't be fighting on your own

And if you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over
Into cold, cold water for you
And although time may take us into different places
I will still be patient with you

And I hope you know
I won't let go
I'll be your lifeline tonight

The cassette finished and I put the cassette inside my drawer.

"He's really sweet" I blushed.
