Confessions of a Bestfriend

Chapter 14 Your Wickedness

Chapter 14

(Aria's POV)

Everything that happened from the past few weeks was unreal. So unreal that from an outsider's point of view, it was like generated from a hollywood teenage movie. I lost track of time and reality bit me. I didn't realize that I had ditched a couple of band practices. Therefore, I gave them a call and as always we would meet up at Perry's place.

Perry's the leader and also the most dopest drummer I had ever known. He's also a senior like me. He and I were friends since junior high. He used to copy my math homework, in return he would give me guitar lessons. We got close but not in a romantic way. He's like the brother I never had.Plus, he dated Ericka but it only lasted for a week. They now hated each other. He's fun to hangout with even sometimes he gets bossy. We were co-founders of the band 'Your Wickedness'. It was named after Perry because he's fond of saying 'wicked'. It's kind of a lame back story but the name's cool.

Eventually, Perry's friends with Bryce, who then became our lead guitarist. He didn't talk much but when he started playing he's transformed. Vera's our lead vocals. She's petite and an easy- going gal. Her looks could be deceiving because she had this big powerful voice. Ian's the one who played rhythms and wrote the songs. He's talented so to speak. He's Perry's younger brother. Then, I played bass and second vocals. Bryce, Vera and Ian were all juniors. We meet every now and then. However, due to school demands and personal matters, we hadn't practiced that much.

"Aria, so nice of you to finally came!" Perry mockingly spread his arms as he was seated behind the drums.

He often wore his messy bleached blonde hair with a headband during practice because the bangs were getting away with his eyes. However, during gigs and at school, he would wore it down.

Bryce and Vera both cocked their heads and smiled to my direction as I walked in. They were intimately slacking on the couch. For the record, they were dating ever since we started the band. Both of them really looked cute together. With Bryce, looking like a giant in his sandy brown hair and six-foot tall stature and Vera's pixie-like features enhanced by her golden to orange hair, cropped short. She's like "TinkerBell", just with no fairy wings. Opposites did attract.

On the corner of the garage was,Ian, hunched low on the table writing a song maybe. He had also the same hair color as his brother except with the black streaking highlights on his head. He's the sensitive type unlike his loud-mouth brother. He then raised his pencil to acknowledge my presence.

"Hey guys, sorry if I missed band practice. I was busy." I explained and plugged my bass guitar.

"Yea, we heard 'bout you and Ericka." Ian smirked as he tapped his pencil.

I snorted and continued to tune in my guitar.

"So, it's true then?" Perry poked me with his drumstick.

"Cut it out!" I snapped.

Perry chuckled.

"I hate it when you girls fight. There's a lot of drama. You always make a big deal out of everything." Perry implied.

"Hey, we do not! You guys are just too insensitive to notice that we're having a crisis." Vera rebuttled and winked at me.

"That's right." I smiled.

"You call a broken nail or a bad hair day a crisis?!" Perry reacted.

"This feud between me and Ericka is not just a mere broken nail Perry!" I reasoned out.

"I know, I know. It's about that new guy! Geez, he's not even that good looking." Perry groaned.

"Perry's just jealous. Girls are not fighting over him." Vera said and both Bryce and Ian laughed. Perry gave them deathful glares.
