"Your listening to Slam FM and this is The Radio Rebel show" said the man on the radio.
"This is Radio Rebel live from Slam FM, listen I gotta confess, moving my show from my bedroom to Slam FM was a bit terrifying, but hey life's all about change right?"
"Maybe some people just wanna label you as one thing, analyze you then walk away, we don't have to let that stop us from becoming who we wanna be, like that kid with the remote control car maybe he's gonna grow up to invent the first ever green rocket ship, or that girl who gives everyone carnations on Valentine's day just so no one feels left out, maybe she could to be president..."
"Guys if we just drop the labels and clicks and just be ourself, we have no idea what were capable of. Okay if your with me on this, wear red tomorrow, it'll be like saying despite our differences, were in this together. This song is from Red Letter Day."
I still could't believe that Radio Rebel was on Slam FM.
I wonder where Gabe is, I'm not waiting for him.
Then I heard a knock on the door. I open the door and it was Gabe.
"Hey" he said not exited.
"What took you so long." I said.
"Its only 7." he said as he entered my house.
"Fine, just go in living room I'll be right back." I said. I went to my room to get my guitar, and lucky pen. No way is he seeing my song book.
I went to the living room and turned the radio on to Radio Rebel.
"You listen to Radio Rebel." he said.
"Yeah don't you." I said.
"Yeah, so does my buddy Gavin." he said. I didn't know Gabe listen to Radio Rebel.
"Well thats cool. I'll be right back I forgot something" I said.
I forgot to get some song sheets, so I went to my room again.
I went through my desk and found some, then I turned around and saw Gabe looking at my song book!
"What are you doing!" I shouted.
"I was just looking." he said holding my song book.
"Give that back!" I demanded.
"Fine!" he said and tossed my book, luckily I was able to catch it.
"Don't you ever look through my song book!" I said.
"You know what, I was going to say something nice, but forget it." he said and left my room.
Maybe Mom was right, we should put our differences aside and get along.
I went down stairs with the song sheets and, my song book. I figure, whatever he read it could help us with the song.
"Gabe, I'm sorry I got mad. I'm not use to anyone looking at my song book." I apologized.
"Its alright," he said.
"Look let's just start over and try to work as partners." I said.
"I'd like that." he said.
"So what did you read from my song book?" I asked. As I sat on the couch next to him.
"I was reading this" he said.
He took my song book and turned to the page he was reading.
Now here we are, so close
Yet so far, haven't I passed the test?
When will you realize
"Oh uh, thats not done yet." I said.
"Is this what you were writing yesterday?" he asked.
"Yeah, but its not finish, I don't know. I think I have writer's block." I said.
"Oh, well that a bummer." he said.
Half an hour later we had nothing plan, or anything done and he had to go.
"I gotta go I can't miss my family dinner." he said.
"Okay, do you want to pick this up tomorrow." I asked.
"Yeah, but come over to my place." he said
"Fine I'll see you tomorrow." I said. And he left.
That was an terrible night. We kept arguing and we could come up with anything. Hope its not like that tomorrow.
Next Day
Everyone in school was wearing red.
I had my red shirt and I headed toward Tara who was also wearing red. So she did listen to Radio Rebel.
"Hey Tara." I said.
"Hey Anna." she said.
"I see your wearing red" I said.
"Yeah, I am." she said.
"So you did listen to Radio Rebel." I said.
Then Audrey came wearing some red glasses.
"Ahem. Do you like my red rims?" asked Audrey.
"But you have freakishly good vision." said Tara.
"Fashion shouldn't be functional." said Audrey. And we notice they didn't have lenses. Nice idea.
"Do you know why I chose red rims? I assume you do because of your red clothes" she said as looked at Tara.
"I can't believe all these people are wearing red just because Radio Rebel said to, how cool is that." said Tara.
"So you did listen to Radio Rebel last night. What happened to your mystery plans?" asked Audrey.
Then elevator opened revealing Barry and Larry wearing red identical outfits.
"Can you guys tell us apart?" they asked.
"You guys are fraternal not identical." I said and we all went in with them.
Then the elevator open and we all walked out.
"We just ran a recording of Radio Rebel through a voice analysis app, we're closer than ever to revealing her true identity." said Barry.
"Think about it, local twins crack Radio Rebel ID. We could be famous, we could get a reward, or at least our own reality show." said Larry.
"Where she and I could be married live on T.V. Tara, since you step-dad runs Slam FM maybe you could help us out." he asked
"Oh, I'm not allowed to go to Slam anymore while she's there, to keep the mystery mysterious." said Tara.
"The truth is Tara doesn't have time for any friend related things." said Audrey and she walked away from us. Then Tara and I followed her.
"Audrey, Audrey, AUDREY!" said Tara trying to get her attention.
"What?" said Audrey as she turned around.
Tara was about to say something, but couldn't.
"Forget it I'm leaving." said Audrey.
Then Tara pulled me and Audrey to face her. Then she closed a classroom's door. What is she doing?
"I'm about to tell you two something so top secret, but you two have to promise you cannot say it anyone." said Tara.
"Okay I promise I won't say it to anyone." said Audrey.
"I promise I won't either, you could say it." I said.
Tara mumbled it. What is trying to say? "Tara you need to breath you words." said Audrey.
Then Tara mumbled it again. "Louder common, breath the words." said Audrey.
"You can do it Tara." I said.
"I'm Radio Rebel." said Tara. Wait, What?
"Oh… I don't believe you." said Audrey.
"Neither do I." I said.
After School
Tara took me and Audrey back to her house to prove she is Radio Rebel. She was talking through a mic and we were listening through a headset.
"If your like me and believe music can change the world one track at a time, your gonna love this one from one of my new favorite bands" said Tara.
Audrey and I were in shock to know that Radio Rebel is Tara. She's so shy in school, but is so out spoken as Radio Rebel.
"Wow" We said.
"I can't believe its you, I mean your her, I mean your the last person I expect to be Radio Rebel Tara." said Audrey.
"Me too, I just can't believe this." I said.
"It's been driving me crazy not telling you both, and of course I want to hang out, but I've been doing my show."
"Here's the thing though, you two can't tell anyone not even Larry and Barry, because Slam wants to keep this big secret and, so do I" said Tara.
Audrey and I started to squeal and we pulled Tara for a group hug. This is so cool my best friend Tara is Radio Rebel!
At Gabe's house
After finding out about Tara's secret, I went over to Gabe's house. Hope this won't be awkward like last night.
I rang the door bell. Then I saw him.
"Hey." I said.
"Hey. You ready to write?" he asked.
"Yeah let's do this." I said.
We headed to his garage where I notice some instruments and a little recording station.
"This is where my band The GGGG's practice and record." he said as he grabbed some stools for us to sit.
"Oh thats, cool." I said.
"So you have anything else from you song book?" he said
"Uh yeah, I do." I said then a grabbed my guitar and started to sing.
I like the way you sound in the morning
We're on the phone and without a warning
I realize your love is the best sound
I have ever heard
I like the way I can't keep my focus
I watch you talk, you didn't notice
I hear the words, but all I can think is
We should be together
Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I'll shine for you
Whoa, I'm feeling you baby
Don't be afraid to
Jump then fall
Jump then fall into me
Baby, I'm never gonna leave you
Say that you wanna be with me too
'Cause I'm gonna stay through it all
So jump then fall
The bottom's gonna drop out from under our feet
I'll catch you, I'll catch you
When people say things that bring you to your knees
I'll catch you
The time is gonna come when you're so mad you could cry
But I'll hold you though the night until you smile
Whoa oh, I need you baby
Don't be afraid please
Jump then fall
Jump then fall into me
Baby, I'm never gonna leave you
Say that you wanna be with me, too
'Cause I'm gonna stay through it all
So jump then fall
Jump then fall, baby
Jump then fall into me, into me, into me
"So what do you think?" I asked.
"Its good, but its a love song." he said.
"So, what about it." I said.
"Well, its too sappy." he said. Wait, what did he say?
"What?" I said no has ever said that to one of my songs. And I started to get angry.
"Wait what do you mean its sappy!" I said.
"Look its a good song, it just seems to obvious of you to write a love song like this." he said.
"And you think you know my taste in music!" I said.
"I just think writing a love song is not a good idea to write!" he said.
"You know what I'm out of here. I tried to be nice with you, but your not giving me a chance!" I said and I stormed of the garage.
I just could handle it anymore. I rather get an F instead of working with Gabe.
Sorry it took so long I had writer's block and I had to watch Radio Rebel to remember the movie. But don't worry I'm still sticking to this story.
