Chapter 2:

The Next Morning:

Laney's POV

I woke up and looked at my alarm clock that said 6:30am I had gotten into a routine of waking up at this ungodly hour, I went down stairs forgetting all about the fact it was my birthday when suddenly out of my kitchen my parents jumped out and screamed "HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANEY!" I just about shat myself I got such a bad fright, I couldn't even scream they scared me that bad! We all started laughing so hard.

A few minutes later, my Mum said " Here Laney, we made your favourite!" She then showed me the fluffy hot cakes. I loved hot cakes, but not as much as I liked one other thing, I to had a deep secret that absolutely know body knew about, I liked Corey, I have since I was 9.

I stuffed about 4 hot cakes in my mouth, have my Mum and Dad a hug packed my stuff as on everyone's birthday we always would sleep over at Corey's house. By the time I had gotten there it was already 12pm!

I was so excited and nervous to see my band today, something felt different.

I finally arrived to the garage, his house was a block down from mine, I was at his garage, I normally herd them talking or jamming when I got to the door, but this time I couldn't here anything.

Was I early? Did they forget about my birthday?

Anyways I lifted up the garage door to here a loud yell and scream saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANEY!"

For the second time I screamed and fell backwards, they all cracked up laughing, then I started laughing, normally I would be mad pissed off with them, but hey it's my birthday I need to at least try to loosen up a bit.

About a minute later I hopped up and entered the garage, carefully closing the door behind me.

The rest of the band got up and all smiled hoping I would notice how much work they put into this, Corey breaking the silence walked up to me put his arm around me and said "What do you think fella?" I blushed a little cause of Corey touching me and said " WOW, just wow! thanks heaps guys, you put so much work into this, and it looks awesome. You guys wanna jam a bit now?" They all nodded.

Looking quite proud of themselves.

Kon's POV:

Earlier this morning I had thrown a banana peel on the floor hoping to trick my brother Kon.

" you guys wanna jam now?" Laney asked, we all nodded, I was quite proud of myself, we had done a good job!

Then 10 seconds later we hear a small scream. We all turned to Laney to see she had tripped on the banana peel backwards and fell off the stage and Corey had caught her just in time.

"Thanks Cor..." Laney said beginning to go red, really red, was she ok, was she gonna be sick?

Laney then got up and stared at my she started to glare at me I started to back away as she started to walk towards me angrily, but Corey quickly grabbed Laney and said, " Don't worry dude, it's fine, let's just jam. Kon clean up the banana peel!"

Corey's POV:

I can't believe I held Laney Penn, I was so happy, Kin smirked at me cause of what had just happened, Laney was really red, " You ok Lane's? Your really red! Do you want a drink of water?" I asked with concern, she shook her head with a small smile.

Kon got back and we stated to jam.

I was having an awesome daydream about the Lane's, until Kin had to interrupt,

"hey Laney, I know it's your birthday but can you quickly grab me a glass of water from inside?" Kin asked Laney, Laney nodded.

Just as Laney left Kin pulled my over to him, and whispered " Dude she obviously likes you back, your so oblivious, every time you tough her she blushes, and she always shows obvious single that she likes you!" I rolled my eyes and said " I doubt it, and what signs? "

Kin face palmed and said "your so oblivious, and if you don't tell her tomoght we will find away to prove it!" Kin whispered to me with an evil smirk.

" you wouldn't dare! Besides she probably doesn't like me."

Laney walked in, and every one but Kon went into an awkward silence.

She looked very confused, but Kin broke the silence to grab the water from Laney and said "Thanks heaps Lane's."

Laney glared and said " Don't call me Lane's!"

Kin looked at me he was trying to prove his point.
