Chapter 3

"I hope those girls are practicing. Oh, I can't wait to take a trip to C/n~ Maybe I'll find a rich, hot guy there~!! Oh, girls~ How's practicing coming along--"

Sawako stopped in her tracks as the others stared right back at her, Yui stuffing her face with cake. "Why aren't you practicing?!"

--

She sighed heavily. "I thought this would give you more motivation to practice."

"Was that really the reason? Or is it because you want us to win that trip to C/n for you?"

"No! Of course not!"

"Sure, it wasn't."

"Get to practicing! Don't get confident with yourselves because a lot of great bands are going to perform too!"

"Yes, Miss Yamanaka/Sawa-chan."

"Good! Now, I would like some tea please!"

"Right away!"

"Didn't you just tell us to practice?!"

--

"Alright, so we'll slow it down around this part and speed it up around...here! Okay?"

"Right."

"From the top."

"1, 2...1, 2, 3, 4!"

F/n started up on the drums, the others quickly joining in. They sang the lyrics that they had written together earlier, slowing down and speeding up at the parts they changed. The song ended when Koga played the last chord. "That was a little better."

"But, I feel like it's still missing something," Nao added.

Y/n thought for a second until F/n spoke up. "How about we change up the hook? Do a little something different!"

"Like what?"

"Make Nao sing!"

A blush grew on Nao's face out of embarrassment. "W-What?!"

F/n grinned and stood up, wrapping his arm around Nao's shoulders. "Come on! Are you shy~?"

"Y-Yes! I just happen to not want to sing in front of a huge crowd of people!"

"You can do it! I believe in you, Nao!"

Nao shoved him. "No! And you can't make me! Do it yourself if you're so desperate!" he yelled before turning to Y/n. "Senpai, please don't make me do it!"

Y/n smiled. "You don't have to do it, Nao."

He sighed in relief. "Thank yo--"

"But, could you at least try?"

"H-Huh?!"

Y/n put his hands together. "Aww, come on, Nao. Just one try~? Please?"

Nao sighed. "Fine...I'll try. B-But, if I suck at it, I'm not doing it live!"

"Deal!"

"From the top!"

They started the song over. As Y/n and Koga did the vocals, Nao joined in, a small blush on his face as he tried his best not to mess up.

"She's dancing alone
I'm ready to go but she's so
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo
She's out of control, so beautiful
In stereo, lost in stereo

And I've been waiting for so long
But she'll never know
I'm losing hope 'cause she's so
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo."
