Chapter One: You're On!
Sometimes, I like to think that music could just solve my problems. But it's not. Okay, maybe I don't have serious problems except for the fact I'm Thomas Bautello's sister. Which means he's a has been. The Naked Brothers Band have no idea about me. I guess they were on a "hiatus" when NBB ended, but they're gonna be back.
Trust me, my brothers in the band. I rolled off my bed and onto the floor, the faint sound of "If That's Not Love" played in my ears (thanks to the earbuds, who could almost tune anybody and anything out). I've been investing my time studying the base parts of all of their songs. I've had hope that one day they'll finally know about me, and not how Thomas describes me. You know, the snot picking, hot headed, butt wipe, piece of crap off the side of the road.
That's a brother for you, anyway. "Magic seasons and we stop, the magical feeling has begun…" I picked up my black base and strummed it in the tune that Rosalina was doing it in the song. That was my favorite song to play base on. I know that Thomas would never let me in the band. He likes to call me the "mystery girl" because nobody from the NBB would know about me. "If that's not music then what is, uh-huuuh if that's not music then what is?!" Nat sung.
Don't tell him, but I think I may have a small crush on him. Can you believe I've never met him and my REAL actual brother is a key part of the show? I mean, it's only been two years. Nat is 15, Rosalina is 17, Alex is 12, and the rest are 14 as well. As for me, I'm 14…
But that's not the point. I should've met all of them when they were in kindergarten! Although, most of the time Thomas was never there. And when he was at home, he just came to get extra nesscesities for tour and such. I watched every single episode about 10 times, thinking that Nat needs somebody better then Rosalina! And here's a secret, Thomas only shaved his head because that's what the viewers want.
Sh! Don't talk about it with others though. It's staged. "I don't want you, I need you…" I heard Nat's voice ring through my ears. Although Nat and Rosalina's relationshpi was…explosive. They were always really cute and really sweet together. But Rosalina cheated twice. That sucks really bad, if you were to ask me.
"COOPER! We don't need another base player!" I heard Thomas screamed from the hallway. Need? A? New? Player? Base?! I volunteer as tribute! Then, I start playing my base really loud in the If That's Not Love theme song, dropping my ear phones and rocking out, strumming with my fingers loudly. "LALALA, you cannot hear that! No, it's not Stefanie!" I groaned, dropping my base.
This has gone on for too long. I've HAD it! I flung my door open and sprinted to where Thomas was, turning him around. "Dude, I CAN PLAY THE BASE! That's right, Cooper! I'm Stefanie Noelle Batuello, and I'm Thomas' sister!" I screamed into the phone, crossing my arms. Thomas just gaped at me. "Uh, why don't you come to rehersal with Thomas and we'll see how good you really are?" Cooper responded after a few minutes. "UGH! What the heck, Cooper?" Thomas groaned, running a finger through his hair. I glared at him, grabbing the phone and pressing it against my ear.
"You're on!"
