Chapter 3: Soundtracks

Splashfire99: Sorry for the abrupt introduction of a new character to the story…..

This is the dumbest thing I've ever done, thought Lil'T to herself. For no reason, she wanted to find where that song was from. So, her only plan was to search through all the albums in the music store, until she found the song. She had already searched through 20 albums, but still no luck.

"Hey, Lil'T!" Lil'T jumped and spun round. "Tess?" she asked. Tess was her good friend, and the only person, to her, that knew about her and Glitch. She promised not to tell anyone. Tess greeted Lil' T with a cool smile. "T! What's up?" They slapped a high five. Tess sighed. "I heard Glitch has Karen. You're pretty upset, right?"

Lil'T looked down sadly. "I know. But why did he choose her? She doesn't even act like him, or me." Tess folded her arms across her chest, dark green eyes filled with confusion, her green leaf pendant swinging. "I don't know." She confessed. Lil' T adjusted her cap a bit. "Anyway, I'm looking for a song named Want U Back." Tess paused and counted with her fingers. "Is the singer a boy or a girl?" "Girl, I guess." Tess snapped her fingers. "Then you're looking for Cher Lloyd!"

Lil' T quickly scanned down the singers. "Cascada…Cady Groves…. Cher Lloyd!" She pulled the first album and looked at the back. "There!" Tess said, pointing. The words Want U Back were right there. "I heard it on 91.3 FM." Tess explained. "And it's got Astro too." "Who?" "Astro. A rapper. You know, Want U Back by Cher Lloyd, featuring Astro?" Lil' T had no idea that the song included a rapper. "It's a sad song, right?" asked Lil' T. "Yep." Sighed Tess. "Well, look at that! It's Miss T and her friend!" a voice said.

To the duo's horror, Glitch and Karen were standing there.

"Glitch?" said Lil' T.

"Karen." Tess snarled.

"What kind of clothes are those?" Karen mocked, looking the two up and down in amusement. "FlashForward themed clothes." Tess replied, annoyed. Lil' T and Glitch didn't say anything, but just looked at each other. Lil'T looked at Glitch, shocked. Glitch looked back at her, shocked too.

Meanwhile, Tess and Karen were having a debate to see who could insult the other the best. "You look like an army corporal!" Karen snapped. "You look like an overdone fashion project!" Tess shot back. "Flash Forward Freak!" "First Class Fashion Fanatic!" "Tomboy!" "Beauty Queen!"

Lil'T felt her heart beat faster. Glitch. It's the first time I've seen him face to face ever since I broke it up. Glitch was feeling nervous too. It's her. It's really her. They just stood there, staring at each other. It wasn't long before Karen noticed this and quickly grabbed Glitch's arm. "Come on, Glitch! Let's go!" Glitch had to let himself be dragged off. Lil'T cast a sad look at him before turning away. But then, Glitch whispered quickly, "Lil'T! I'm really sorry about this." Lil'T whipped round, hoping to see him, but both he and Karen were gone.

"Sorry, T." Tess said. "I know." Lil'T replied. "Nice insults" "Thanks!" Lil'T had finally identified the song. "Hey, Tess. I want you to replace your sister Trixie as our backup dancer for the competition." Trixie had just contracted chickenpox. "Why?" "You're familiar with the dance moves. I could really use some help." Tess grinned. "In that case, count me in!" The girls high fived before walking home. They had a plan, and it was definitely going to work.
