I can't get this off of my mind. Even though, I know I don't really want to do it. But, it sounds fun and I haven't had fun for such a long time.
Should I do it? Should I go for that rehearsal?
To be honest, I thought Mike would have forgotten about this, but no. He doesn't leave me alone. He always finds a way to ask me if I want. But, I keep answering no.
This time, I check my cellphone to see that he has texted me, for another one time.
From !mike! : 'don't say no this time. just try, you might like it.'
To !mike! : 'i appreciate your instistence but im not sure if im ready to join a band'
From !mike! : 'and that's why you should come tonight. you can see if you want it or not.'
To !mike! : 'im not really feeling very comfortable about this. i don't even know the other guys.'
From !mike! : 'oh come on. you've met cal, and don't worry about luke. we told him about you and he's really waiting to hear you'
Now I actually start thinking about it seriously.
To !mike! : 'alright. besides, it's just for tonight.'
From !mike! : 'would that be a yes?'
To !mike! : 'i guess'
Mike doesn't respond after that, so I guess our conversation has come to an end. What am I going to do now? Did I just agree on playing the drums with them?
Am I really ready for this? But, I have to agree. I really want to go. If it's for playing the drums for one more time. I'm just so nervous. I haven't played in front of people in years. Especially in front of someone that I'm supposed to impress.

I'm on the road for Calvin's house. The hour has really passed, as it's already eight in the afternoon, and the sun has set.
I don't know why they wanted it so late, but I don't mind.
I finally reach the house, and knock the door; and Calvin shows up after opening the door with a small smile. I awkwardly smile back, swallowing hard.
"Erm, hi." I simply greet him. He pats my shoulder, as he lets me in and walks me down to the basement.
It looks exactly like the last time. With all the instruments.
Except for this time, there was also somebody else in the room, too.
"So, you must be Ashton." I hear a voice speaking right when I step on the room.
"And you must be Lucas?" I reply. He reaches his hand for me to shake.
Lucas gives me a weird look, and I cannot get why.
"Do I know you? I feel like I've seen you before." he says.
"Well, I'm friend with Mike. Maybe that's how you know me." I reply with a shrug.
"Yeah, right. Mike talks a lot about you." he speaks, giving me a slight shade of red on my cheeks; but he doesn't notice as Mike comes inside.
"Hey Ashton." he says with a wide smile. He seems as if he's about to give me a hug, but halfway through, he stops.
