This is Our Someday
Chapter 1:
One in a Million
"What did you do this time?" Cecilia McNatt asked as Kaity Vaughan handed over a pink slip of paper. Cecilia scanned over the paper, mouthing what she was reading before reading it out loud, "Texting in class, what the heck? I mean, not that we don't all do it, please, but how did you actually get caught?"
Kaity shrugged, rolling her eyes as she spun in her locker combination, opening the royal blue door.
"This is like your, what, fifth one this semester?" Cecilia laughed, "You're so going to get expelled."
The shorter girl grinned, taking the paper back, "It's the fourth, and I know, like, I'm at the top of our grade, but I get in so much trouble for the most random stuff."
"Who else, but you, could get a detention for knocking over marching band equipment in your one woman stampede to see the results of your pre-cal test?" she shook her head.
"It shouldn't have been in the hallway."
"It was field marching season."
"Whatever," Kaity rolled her eyes, "it's over and done with now and now I've moved on to getting caught texting in class."
"Who were you texting anyway? I thought Mrs. Bailey was going to kill you!" Elizabeth Naylor appeared behind Kaity.
Kaity laughed slightly, "Freddie Johnson"
"Ew, the tech nerd?"
"He's pretty cute."
"No, just, no."
"Oh, shut up! At least I set my sights high on something I can accomplish, unlike you, who's been harboring a crush on Kendall Knight for forever. He's famous. You will never meet him." Kaity said shaking her head.
Elizabeth shrugged, "Never say never, Kait."
"Why are we quoting Justin Bieber?" Trista Hart said, walking towards the girls.
"We weren't, even though I'm sure Kaity wouldn't mind," Cecilia laughed.
"Oh, shut up. Around here you can't just say that someone's cute or hot. It becomes a fiasco if you do." She put her hands on her hips.
"Kaity got another detention." Elizabeth said.
"Yeah, texting, Freddie told me. He's in my yearbook class right after English." Trista rolled her eyes, "How did he not get in trouble?"
"He was in study hall in the library." Kaity flipped her hand over at Trista nonchalantly before shutting her locker, spinning the lock.
She shook her head, "Kaity, you're not going to get into college because of behavior stuff, and you have like, the most amazing grades."
"I was just telling her that!" Cecilia spoke up.
"Oh please, like college admissions offices care if you've gotten a detention for chewing gum in class, or texting…" Kaity picked at the lime green nail polish that was chipping off her thumb nail.
"Or making out with a French foreign exchange student that can't even speak English!" Trista exclaimed.
"Trista, that was you, not me." Kaity said, pushing her dark rimmed glasses back up on her nose.
"Duh, that's why I said it." Trista replied.
"Come on, let's go to lunch, this conversation is getting beyond annoying." Cecilia said, gesturing in the direction of the cafeteria.
"Let's eat outside today. I heard the field hockey team was gonna eat outside today." Kaity grinned.
"You know me well, let's." Elizabeth said, "I don't care what kind of hockey it is. If they're hitting something around with a stick, and they're hot, I'm on it."
"Was this prior to the Big Time Rush obsession?" Trista asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Duh, my dad took me to hockey games all the time when I was younger." She replied.
"Sure he did." The other girl rolled her eyes, earning a gentle shove from Elizabeth.
After they got their lunches, they went outside to where the courtyard was and took a seat up on a set of brick steps leading to another entrance to the school.
While they were eating and talking, Kaity had her face buried behind a book, only looking up to give a weird look at one of the other girls or glare over at the loud group of freshman a few feet away. Trista was checking her reflection in a hand mirror, applying a little more powder and lip gloss. Cecilia was writing some song lyrics in a note book, and Elizabeth was on her phone, checking Scuttlebug.
"Oh my God, Logan Mitchell replied to me!" She said loudly, jumping slightly, nearly sending her phone flying.
Kaity's head perked up, "Did you say Logan Mitchell?"
"Yes, as in THE Logan Mitchell, from Big Time Rush!"
"Are you for real?"
"Awh, Kaity's got a crush." Cecilia teased, making a heart with her hands at the girl.
"Oh shut up, you guys are always trying to put words in my mouth." Kaity stuck her tongue out at Cecilia, "What'd he say?"
"I just asked if they were going to be coming to Virginia any time soon, and he said he didn't know, but maybe and then told me to keep checking out the BTR band website!" she said excitedly.
"Advertising, of course" Kaity rolled her eyes.
"Whatever, Kaity, I know about the poster you have of Logan on the back of your door because you stole it from my special edition Pop Tiger." Elizabeth nodded towards the other girl.
Kaity's jaw dropped, "You said you wouldn't tell anyone!"
Cecilia burst into laughter and Trista looked up, shaking her head, "You guys are insane."
"Nuh uh, I can't help it if Kaity has multiple personality problems!" Elizabeth said.
"Hey, I do not!" Kaity retorted, but then, almost to prove a point, Kaity listened closely as Trista turned her iPod on to "Two Step" by DJ UNK.
"Two step…Two step…"
Trista raised an eyebrow knowingly at Kaity as she nodded to the beat, pulling her hair out of its messy bun.
"Go for it." Trista egged her on.
Kaity rolled her eyes before taking off her glasses, sitting them on top of her purse.
"Re-play the track."
Trista started the song over, letting the intro music play again.
Kaity started out the dance slow, just as she was taught, letting it speed up as the words sped up. Elizabeth, Cecilia, and Trista laughed, as they watched the wilder side of their other best friend.
"Hold on, we haven't seen her do this one." Elizabeth switched the song to "Teach Me How to Dougie".
"What am I? You guys' little puppet or something?" Kaity laughed.
"Dance Kaity, dance…" Cecilia teased.
"I hate this song. I can't dance until the chorus." She bounced along waiting for the chorus to come up, looking at the amused grins on the girls' faces.
When the chorus hit, Kaity rolled her eyes before hitting her dougie, earning cheers and laughs from her friends.
"Okay, I cannot do this!" she stopped, "Do my specialty."
"Got 'cha."
"You're a jerk…I know…You're a jerk…I know…"
"How do you do that anyway? I've tried to learn it like four times." Trista said.
"There is no way you're all white." Elizabeth said.
"Fifteen years of dance, seven of hip hop, that's how I do it." Kaity stopped, grabbing her ponytail holder off her wrist, tying her hair back again before sliding her glasses back over her eyes.
Trista changed the song again as Kaity sat back down. "Sleazy" by Kesha began to play out of the iPod's tiny speakers.
"Ha, I love this song." Kaity grinned, "It reminds me of Luke, the drummer in the marching band."
"The one that's slept with like, half the color guard?" Elizabeth asked, a weird expression on her face.
"Hey, he hasn't slept with me yet…and I don't plan on sleeping with him anytime soon." Trista raised her hand.
"Well, half the color guard, not including Trista, then." Elizabeth said.
"Rat t-tat tat on your dumb, dumb drum, the beat so fat gonna make me come…" Kaity sang along with a laugh.
"See, you're not a terrible singer!" Cecilia said, "So why won't you do a cover song with me for my Youtube account?"
"Because, Kesha's songs are mostly, like, talking, it's different. I can't legitimately sing all that well." She replied.
"Well, sing a Kesha song." She said.
"She sort of sings in her chorus…" Kaity trailed off.
"I know you'll sing this." Trista said as NSYNC's, "Bye, Bye, Bye" started playing.
"I'm doing this tonight." Elizabeth sang.
"You're probably gonna start a fight." Trista said right after her.
"I know this can't be right hey baby, come on." Cecilia said.
"I loved you endlessly, when you weren't there for me." Elizabeth sang again, hitting Kaity in the knee, hoping she'd follow along.
"So, now it's time to leave and make it alone…" Cecilia sang.
"I know that I can't take no more, it ain't no lie. I wanna see you out that door, baby, bye, bye, bye…" Kaity belted out, adding a little extra of a run on the last "bye" to make a point.
"Ladies, that was an incredible display of potential."
The girls all looked in front of them, the song still playing on in the background as a tall, dark skinned lady stood in front of them, flashing a winning smile.
"Hey, I've seen you before, but I'm not sure where." Kaity said.
"I know you…" Elizabeth spoke up, sounding rather shocked, "Y-You're K-Kelly Wainright! You work for Rocque Records!"
"Rocque Records, where all those lame boy bands came from?" Trista asked.
"Yes, I am, and yes, that Rocque Records." Kelly said, "I was actually sent here to see some kid in the glee club, but on my way in, I saw your friend here dance and then waited to see if anything else happened, and that's when you all started singing."
"We were just playing around…" Kaity trailed off, biting her bottom lip nervously.
"Well, how would you girls like a chance to audition before Gustavo Rocque for a chance at making a demo?"
"W-Wait, you're going to ask us to audition just after hearing us singing a stupid NSYNC song at our school lunch? That seems unreal." Cecilia said, "Not that I haven't dreamed of being discovered or anything, because it's my dream to become a musician. I just didn't think it would happen this way."
"It seems like it did, though." Kelly smiled.
"So, would you be interested?"
