The Girl in the Group

Chapter 2

I wake up on my own and sit up. I look around the tour bus. Joe is gone. The television is off. Tristan, Justin, Luke, and Greg are all passed out. Greg and Luke managed to make it to the bunk beds. Tristan and Justin passed out on the floor. I look at the clock beside my table.

Oh crud! It's 3:45 A.M. I basically slept through the day. I'm not tired though.. I get up and walk around the tour bus. There is a note on the fridge so I decide to go read it quickly.

"Hey kiddos it's Joe," The note reads. "You have rehearsals tomorrow at noon. You will be meeting some other acts also. Please be ready."

Oh no! Tomorrow at noon. I doubt any of us will wake up before 11:30. I go over to an alarm clock. I set it for 8 in the morning. I place it right next to Tristan.

You know, right now would be a great time for a prank. And it just make me fall asleep with a smile on my face. I look around to see what we have on the tour bus.

Man this place is stocked! I grab some hair dye and walk over to Tristan. I take the hair dye and make his curly brown hair, green. I then get a sharpie marker and give him a mustache. Then some glasses. Then I put on some red lipstick. I take my cell phone and take a picture. I post it on twitter.

Then I go over to Luke. I dye his light blonde hair pink. I give his a goatee and mustache. Then I give him blush. I take a picture and post it on twitter too.

Then I go to Justin. The prankster! I dye his hair rainbow colors. I make his dark hair an afro of colors. I doodle hearts all over his face and spray silly string on him. I take a photo and post it quickly.

Then I go over to Greg. I dye his dirty blonde hair a vibrant blue. I give him a mustache and put dots like pimples all over his face. I take a picture and just laugh at them all. I better get out of here. I don't want them to wake up and see me.

I get of the tour bus and look around where we are parked. I call Joe's number hoping he will pick up soon.

"What's up Daniel?" He asks groggily.

"I just pranked all the boys," I answer. "Check twitter if you want to see what I did. I can't be there when they wake up."

I hear laughter which must mean that Joe checked twitter. He is quiet for a few minutes. I play with my fingers while I wait for his response. I hope he can do something. I can't be here when they wake up.

"Alright kiddo I'll have someone pick you up and take you to a hotel," He finally states. "Although be warned another group is using that car. There will be others in it."

OTHERS? Oh no. I look back at the bus and hear there snores. I gulp and just nod my head even though he can't see me.

"Whatever," I say. "Just get me outta here!"

"Alright see ya tomorrow," He replies. "Don't forget you have rehearsals at noon."

I say OK and hang up. I wait by the bus and sing quietly. I sing all our songs and a few by my other favorite artists.

Now let me tell you something that may surprise you. I have never met any other famous groups yet. Joe has been keeping us so busy that I haven't had time.

A few groups I want to meet are The Vamps, 5 seconds of summer, and Fall out Boy. I like there songs and I think it would be cool to meet them.

I start singing centuries to myself. I hear a scream from inside the bus. Then I see a limo. I run over to it and throw open the door. I dive in just as Justin gets out of the tour bus.

"Good prank Daniel," He yells. "But we will get you! You better not have done it to me!"

I just slam the door and tell the driver to step on it. I watch the tour bus fade into the distance and sigh aloud.
