What The Heart Wants (Stereo Kicks/ James Graham)

Chapter 27

"James Graham and Casey Johnson! Bring me my clothes right now!" I yelled from the bathroom. You see, the boys and I just got done with our Nerf war so I decided to take a shower. I brought my clothes with me, but the assholes thought it would be funny to sneak in and steal them for some unknown reason. "Casey! James!" I was standing in the bathroom wrapped in a towel waiting for someone to reply. "Aria?" Someone on the other side of the door asked. "Aria it's Lauren, open up." Lauren was one of Cheryl's acts, she was also one of the only girls I didn't mind being around. I opened the door and let her in. When she seen me she couldn't help but crack a smile. "Girl I feel so sorry for you." She shook her head at what I was going through. "You and me both. Can you go grab me some clothes from my room? Please?" I begged. She nodded her head and went to my room. She came back moments later and handed me an outfit. "You're a life saver." I gave her a quick hug before she left me to get dressed. After I was dressed, my hair was brushed and I had come up with a plan for revenge, I left the bathroom and went to James' room where all the boys were hanging out. I stood in the doorway and folded my arms across my chest. The boys looked at me and tried not to laugh, but James and Casey were snickering and giving each other a high five. "You ok Aria? You look a little...flustered." Barclay smirked. "Oh I'm fine. Never better actually." I said as I walked into the room and sat down on one of the beds. "What are you watching?" I looked at the tv and acted as if nothing happened. "Step Brothers." James looked at me and smiled, no doubt remembering when I told him it was a stupid movie and he got upset and made me take it back. I rolled my eyes at his expression and got on twitter.

@AriaSmith: @CaseyJohnson and @ItsJamesGraham just stole my clothes while I was in the shower. #immature

James' and Casey's phones went off as they read my tweet.

@CaseyJohnson: @AriaSmith consider it payback for beating us at the Nerf war! ;P

@ItsJamesGraham: @AriaSmith you deserved it :P #bff

I laughed at their replies and shut my phone off. We watched the rest of the movie in silence until Charlie had the not so great idea to go swimming. "Uuhh guys, I dont have a bathing suit." I said as they all dug through their dressers to find their swim trunks. "You have a bra and underwear, just swim in those." Casey winked. "Not a chance." I refused. "Just borrow one from Lauren or something." Jake said before he went to the bathroom to change. Grudgingly, I went to Laurens room and asked if I could borrow her swim suit. What she handed me was not a swim suit, but a bikini. "Um, do you have anything more...modest?" I was way to self conscious to wear this. "Sorry, thats all I have." She gave me an apologetic smile. "Ok, well I'll try it on and see what happens." I said before leaving. Once I finally got the damn thing on it felt like a second skin. I looked at myself in the mirror and laughed at my reflection. My boobs were about to fall out of the top and the bottom, well...let's just say I'm glad I have nice legs. I wrapped a towel around myself and ran to Laurens room. I shut the door once I got inside. "I need your opinion." I said as I unwrapped the towel from around me. "Whoa." She mumbled. "Is that a bad whoa?" I asked. "No. Aria you look...hot." She gave me an approving smile. I chuckled and wrapped the towel around my body again. "Well here goes nothing." I turned to make my way to the pool but Lauren stopped me. "Wait." She walked up to me and released my hair from the ponytail that it was in. "Much better." She nodded and let me go. Once I was outside the pool room I could hear the boys messing around. It's not too late, I can turn around right now and they never have to see me in this. I shook my head. It's just a swim suit, relax. I opened the door and walked inside. "Well look who finally decided to grace us with her presence." James yelled once he seen me. All the boys turned to look at me. Thank god for this towel. "Are you gonna get in?" Charlie raised an eyebrow at me. I nodded my head yes. "Deep breath." I whispered to myself and then unwrapped the towel from around me. Once I was no longer covered, I noticed all the boys' expressions change when they seen me. I did my best to ignore the shocked expressions on their faces, and stepped into the pool. I was mid-way into the pool and not one of them had said a single word yet. I cleared my throat, hoping to get some of their attention off of my protruding chest area. I mean not that I blame them for looking, I am a size 36D and they are boys, so it's to be expected. It's just a little awkward when all of them are looking, including little Charlie and Reece. "Uuhh who wants to play a game?" Tom snapped out of his trance and looked around at the other boys. Slowly but surely, all the boys averted their eyes and we started a game of water volleyball. After my team kicked ass we got out of the pool and sat around one of the tables. "So are you just good at everything Aria or is there at least one thing you suck at?" Jake asked me. "I played volleyball in high school." I giggled and squeezed my hair with a spare towel. "Ok, I think we need to address the elephant in the room." Tom clapped his hands once to get everyone's attention. We all looked at him and waited for him to go on. "Aria." He looked at me, and so did the rest of the boys. I raised my eyebrows questioningly. "Since when have you had a body like that?" He gestured from my boobs to my feet. I felt my face get warm as all the boys checked me out again. When we got out of the pool I didn't think I would need the towel again, but I sure do wish I had it now. "Uh. Always." I moved uncomfortably in my chair. James noticed this and tried to change the subject. "Here, you must be cold." He smiled and offered me a towel. I gladly took it and covered myself before giving him an appreciative smile. "Well I for one think you should wear that on stage. We could rack up the votes like no other." Casey suggested. I laughed and shook my head at him. We sat around the table for a little while longer before Lauren came down and told us that we needed to come to the living room for a meeting. We all stood up and made our way upstairs. When we got there all the other acts were huddled around the room. "Hello everybody. We are passing out your songs for the week. We also have your schedules for you as well." A crew member said as he called out names and handed them an envelope. Finally he called our name and I stepped up and grabbed our information. We all went to Casey's room and I opened the envelope. "Guys, we're singing Roar by Katy Perry." I smiled and handed Barclay the paper so they could see. "Wait, there's a letter from Louis." I grabbed the piece of paper and read:

"Dear boys and Aria, as of now you are still nameless. The first live show is coming up and you need a name. I decided that the fans should pick your band name. There were thousands of suggestions but the top three are:

1- Infinity

2- Stereo Kicks

3- Simply 8

It's your choice. Cant wait to see what you pick! See you all very soon."

I looked up from the letter and looked at all the boys' expressions. "Well I think the best way to go about this is to vote. Majority wins." Jake said. We all agreed and I read out the names. "All those in favor of Infinity raise your hand." No hands went up. "All those in favor of Stereo Kicks." All nine hands went up. "Looks like it's unanimous." Jake smiled. We all shook our heads in agreement. It's official, we are Stereo Kicks.
