Chapter 7: Roller-coaster Ride.

The next Wednesday, the second Country Pop woke up she jumped out of bed. She was going to film her second episode of her own show, because they were released on Thursdays. She had picked out "The A Team" by Ed Sheeran as this week's song. She had practiced her heart out all week at home, just so she could surprise everyone at MyMusic. Especially Metal. She didn't know why, but she really wanted Metal to hear the song first and she wanted to impress him with it.

She jumped out of bed and got dressed in a white ruffled top, but decided on a black skirt with rhinestones around the waist. Just the right amount of edgy without being considered a poser. She had heard stories about what Indie did to posers and she did not want to be in that position. She also decided to straighten her hair instead of curl it. She hoped the change wasn't to drastically noticeable. The only person that needed to notice was Metal. She slipped on black flats with rhinestones on the toes that watched her skirt perfectly. She quickly applied her makeup, keeping it the same as usual. She grabbed her purse and walked out her door. She stopped short when she saw Dubstep's truck in her driveway. She was surprised, but she hopped into his truck and smiled at him. He said he had just been passing by and thought she might need a ride. Country Pop thanked him and discreetly texted her original ride plans that she had a ride.

Country Pop and Dubstep talked the entire ride to MyMusic. They really just seemed to talk to each other easily. Country Pop felt so confused. Was it possible that she was crushing on two guys? Was it like one of her favourite books, with a love triangle? That is, if they liked her back. Well, Country Pop would soon find that out. As they pulled into the MyMusic parking lot, Country Pop thanked Dubstep for picking her up. Dubstep said it was no problem, if she ever needed a ride she could call him. He parked and just as Country Pop was picking up her purse, Dubstep leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. She froze, and then turned bright pink as she quickly hopped out of his truck. She rushed into the building and dropped her things on her desk before running into the production room and sitting in the corner. She needed a few minutes to clear her head. She knew she had probably just blown it with Dubstep, just running off like that. But she hadn't known what to do. She hated herself for ruining it.

After she had sat in the production room for a good half hour, she decided it was time to go to her desk. She casually walked out of the production room and greeted the interns, then continued to her desk. She sat down to find a sticky note on top of her laptop. She held her breath.

Sorry.

She sighed. He hadn't done anything wrong. She had just acted stupidly. She added the sticky note to her collection hesitantly. She opened her laptop and turned it on. Before she had the chance to do anything else, Intern 2 showed up beside her desk.

"Metal wanted me to tell you that he's waiting for you in the production room."

"Thanks Intern 2." Country Pop smiled at Intern 2 as she got up and walked to the production room. She walked confidently through the doors and smiled and Metal. Metal tried to hide the awestruck look on his face. Country Pop blushed as she went and sat at the keyboard.

"Wow… um nice new look today… it looks good on you-I mean alright let's get started." Metal shook his head. Country Pop smiled at the ground. Metal started recording and Country Pop started singing.

When she had finished she looked at Metal and saw a hint of something in his eyes that she couldn't put her finger on. Something soft, sweet, and not at all stereotypical Metal. But it was gone after a few seconds. He stopped recording and smiled at her.

"That was amazing. I swear you get better every time." Metal walked over to her.

Country Pop stood and hugged him. "Thanks Metal! It means a lot. I love that song."

"Well it's perfect with your voice." Metal stepped slightly closer to her and she looked down and played with one of her rings so he wouldn't see her blushing. But Metal lifted her chin and smirked. She turned ever brighter red. "Hey Country Pop. I can't help but notice…"

"That I blush every time you're near me? I can't help but notice that either actually, and it annoys the hell out of me because-" But before Country Pop finished, Metal kissed her. Everything she was about to say melted away for a split second, before Metal quickly pulled away and walked out of the production studio. Country Pop was left standing there, feeling dazed. She sat back down on the keyboard bench and tried to make sense of what just happened.

The she realized it. Metal had just beat Dubstep. And Country Pop now knew they both liked her. Now her life was a love triangle and she couldn't believe it. Just about two weeks ago, she hadn't even been thinking about guys, and now this. It was unbelievable. A few minutes later, Metal appeared back in the doorway. Country Pop looked up at him.

"Um… sorry about that…" Metal stammered. Country Pop felt a sudden unexpected burst of confidence. She stood up and walked over so Metal.

"Don't be." She said simply. Then she kissed him on the cheek and walked out of the room.
