*Jaq*
Look, I'm not a big people person. Anyone who knows me can tell you that. So, instead of hanging out with Teresa, Cassidy, Ten, and Mar while everyone else was out, I was holed up in my room, drumming out the beat to "House of Wolves".
Good song.
I barely heard the knock on my door over the noise I was making. I sighed to myself, put the drumsticks on my bed, walked over, and opened it a crack.
Teresa, Cassidy, and Ten were standing there, seemingly in the middle of an argument. That was, at least judging by Teresa's hands on her hips and the annoyed tone she was speaking in.
"And since when is–" she was in the middle of saying.
I cleared my throat quietly, cutting her off. The three of them turned to look at me, Teresa and Cassidy both looking a bit surprised, where as Ten was grinning far too brightly, even for her.
Especially for her.
I gave them a (very, very) mildly annoyed look. What did they want? "Yes?"
The younger girl slid closer. "Jaq, dear…" she trailed off, seemingly thinking of a way to word what she was about to say. She slipped back behind Cassidy. "Cass has a question for you!" she said, pushing him toward me.
He stumbled a step, then glared back at her. Teresa smirked at him. He didn't notice.
"What?" I asked simply, trying to get his attention back on me.
"Well," he started, a bit reluctantly, turning back toward me and gesturing behind himself to Ten, "she plays bass." I knew that. "I play guitar." That was new, but not surprising. He gestured to Teresa. "And she plays piano."
I raised an eyebrow and looked over at her. "Piano? I always pegged you as more of the guitar type."
She looked annoyed, then seemed to give up, throwing her hands in the air. "Why?"
I shrugged and turned back to Cassidy, ignoring Ten's giggling. "And so…?"
"We were thinking of starting a little band… type… thing," he said. "And we need drums."
I glanced back at my set, the shrugged again. "Okay."
He looked surprised. "Really?"
I nodded. "Why not? It's not like I have anything better to do."
Ten looked even more confused, but then beamed. "Okay! Awesome!" She grabbed Cassidy's shirt and pulled. "Now, come on, Cass! Time to pick our first song!"
I watched the three of them leave, a bit confused about what just happened, myself.
I shook my head, slipped back into my room, closed the door, and went back to drumming away.
