Mary's POV:
They play a few songs and then Luke asks me what song they should play next.
"Any suggestions?" he says, out of breath from jumping around.
"Hmmm let's see.. How about some Green day? Maybe American Idiot?" I know Ashton likes that song and I do too.
"American Idiot it is." Luke says.
"Or Wake Me Up When September Ends? Or is that too slow?"
That's one of my favorite songs, and I'm hoping they'll play it.
"Everyone know it?"
"Well duh." Michael says.
"Okay, I can't sing very well, so it will probably sound terrible." Luke says with a smile.
I narrow my eyes at him, "It's not good to lie." I say.
They start to play it and Luke starts to sing.
" Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up
When September ends "
I watch him the whole time he's singing and he looks at me the whole time. I actually enjoy watching him sing. He puts so much into it. I think it's cute whenever his voice cracks a little while he's singing.
When Michael's singing, he steps back and plays his guitar, still watching me. I look away, but I feel his eyes on me.
I look back up while Calum sings and look at Ashton. He just squints his eyes at me. I raise my eyebrows, as if saying 'What?' he just shakes his head.
When the song is over I clap.
"So? How are we sounding?" Ashton asks me.
"Amazing, as always. You guys could sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and it would still sound amazing."
"Hmm sounds like a good idea." says Luke, laughing. He strums his guitar and they all sing.
" Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky"
They all start to laugh.
"I think it's pizza time." says Calum.
"Pizza Time!" Ashton says.
They all go into the living room and start talking about what pizza they'll order. I start to go back to my room, but Luke stops me.
"Hey, where are you going?" he says blocking the stairway. If he does like me he's not hiding it very well.
I look up at him and say "Oh I don't know I thought maybe I'd go upstairs, go to the back of my wardrobe and visit Narnia for a while."
"Haha very funny. Why don't you stay down here with us?"
"Yeah why don't you?" yells Michael.
"I don't know, I just didn't want to bother you guys."
"Mary, stay down here." Ashton says.
"Okay. Can I go get my phone?"
"Yeah sure."
I run up the stairs, two at a time. I walk into my room and unplug my phone from the charger. I check to see if I have any messages. Who am I kidding? I only text one person and she can't use her phone for a week.
I lock my phone and start walking back to the steps. I don't walk loudly, so I overhear the guys again.
"Dude you should totally ask her out. Don't you think so, Ash?" Says Calum.
"Well, it would probably make her happy. I saw the way she looked at you while you were singing." I can't believe my brother is saying this.
"I just said she was cute!" exclaims Luke.
"Aww he's in denial." says Michael.
"I ship it." jokes Calum
Michael starts chanting, "OTP, OTP, OTP."
"Enough! She'll be back any minute. I'm just saying I think she's cute. Not a single word gets said to her, understand?"
"Yes." they all say.
I walk downstairs and hear people moving around.
"Act natural!" I hear someone whisper-yell.
When I reach the bottom of the steps, I look at all of them and I'm kind of scared. Michael's sitting there in the weirdest pose staring at me. Calum's looking from me to Luke and back while smiling. Ashton is standing up, posing like a statue, and Luke is just sitting there.
"Umm who's ready for pizza?" I ask.
