Music In My Heart

CHAPTER 9: Coffee Incident

DANIELLA'S POV

Dylan turned off the car engine and we both got out while laughing. Correction: I was the one laughing while his face was red. Note to self: Never let Dylan sing along with you because he sounds like a dying whale! Ava Max's Sweet but psycho came on the radio as we drove to school so I sang along and Dylan joined me halfway only for me to discover his terrible voice when his singing became solid and I couldn't help but laugh and tease him about it till we got here.

"Enough Daniella, you've been laughing for the past..."

"Forever?"

"Yes. That is the perfect word."

I grab my bag and slide it on my shoulders as I get my headphones and shut the car door. I'm about to leave the parking lot when a voice stops me. I heard it faintly but I'm very sure it's that voice.

His voice.

"Yo, Dylan!"

I hear it again, only this time it was loud. Dylan and I turn around to see Scott jogging to make it over to us. The butterflies in my stomach surfaced at the sight of him. He looks so perfect. I suddenly got self conscious; smoothening my braided hair and tugging at my grey jacket to be closer to my body. When he got to Dylan, They did that handshake bro-hug thing guys do. It seems like they are really close.

It took a minute for Scott to notice me because I was on the other side of the car but he did and that's all that matters.

"Dani?"

"Hey Scott." I greeted, smiling while walking to where they stood.

"How do you know her?"

Dylan was the first to ask.

"We met yesterday at the theatre room. A friend introduced us."

I wonder why he refers to Bella as a friend and not just Bella. Whatever, maybe Dylan doesn't know her.

"So I'm guessing you guys are related. Of course, I should've put two and two together yesterday. I wasn't really thinking about the last name."

"It's okay Scott. He's unfortunately my cousin."

"It's not unfortunate, okay? You know you love me."

I give him a flat look.

"Oh come on, you really believe that? Seriously?"

Scott laughs at my question and it automatically makes me smile.

"Yeah, yeah whatever. Scott here is my best friend."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah. He comes by alot so you'll be seeing him pretty often."

"Okay..."

I was trying to keep it together. Scott +Dylan=Besties. Therefore, me seeing Scott almost everyday after school. ME= Happy, excited etc.

"That's fine by me." I grin, trying not to blush but I think I fail miserably.

"Great. So we'll see each other after school then."

"I guess we will."

"Um, hello? I'm still here so stop flirting in my presence, it's sickening."

"I know right? Now you know how we feel when we look at you."

Scott and I laugh as a scowl settles on Dylan's face. From the corner of my eye, I sight Bella walking towards the school doors. I have to go meet her and tell her the exciting news.
