The Bet
Disclaimer: I don't own potential breakup song
(Eve's POV)
After that little incident with Rodrick in the parking lot, I made it home just in time. My parents were going out so that meant it would be perfect time for me, Kayla and Zoe to practice for the talent show. I grabbed my cell and called Zoe first. I didn't have to wait long, usually she picks up on the second ring.
"Hey, what's up?" Zoe said.
"Hey my school is having a talent show Saturday and I signed us up." I informed her.
"Great, did you call Kayla yet?"
"I'll call her after I get off the phone with you." I said.
"Ok, what time do you want us over?" Zoe asked. I looked at my bedroom clock and it read 4:15 p.m.
"Can you guys be over here at 4:30?" I asked hoping it would good.
"Sure."
"Good, see you then." I hung up and moved off my bed to my drum set, I haven't played this in a while since I got here. It took me ten minutes to move all the pieces to the garage and get it situated. Suddenly I heard a honk from outside. I opened the garage door and sure enough it was Zoe and she had Kayla in the front seat. Kayla jumped out the car first to hug me.
"Evie! It's been a while" Kayla said.
"It's only been a month," I laughed, "I see you dyed your hair again."
"Of course, I like being a chameleon." Kayla laughed, she could never stick to one hair color but I liked her new color, it was a burgundy color that really stood out in a subtle way and highlighted her dark brown eyes.
"So who's ready to get some practice done?" Zoe said as she grabbed her guitar, Kayla ran back to get her keyboard.
"What song are we singing?" Zoe asked, as we finished setting up.
"I think we could do 'Rockstar'." I suggested but then it went quiet.
"Naw." We all said in unison.
"We could try 'Potential Breakup Song'" Zoe said, we all agreed so we got ready to play.
(Zoe) It took too long
It took too long
It took to long for you to call back
(Eve) And normally I would just forget that
(Kayla)Except for the fact it was my birthday
My stupid birthday
(Eve)I played along
I played along
I played along
rolled right off my back
(Kayla)But obviously my armor was cracked
(Zoe)What kind of a boyfriend would forget that?
(Eve)Who would forget that?
(Kayla)The type of guy who doesn't see
What he has until she leaves
(Zoe & Eve)Don't let me go
(Zoe)Cause without me, you know you're lost
Wise up now or pay the cost
(Kayla & Eve)Soon you will know
(All) Chorus:
You're not livin' till you're livin'
Livin' with me
You're not winnin' till you're winnin'
Winnin' me
You're not gettin' till you're gettin'
Gettin' to me
You're not livin' till you're livin'
living for me
This is the potential breakup song
Our ...album needs just 1
Oh baby please
Please tell me
(Zoe)We got along
We got along
We got along until you did that!
(Eve)Now all I want is just my stuff back
(Kayla)Do you get that?
Let me repeat that...
I want my stuff back
(Eve)You can send it in a box
I don't care just drop it off
(Zoe & Kayla))I won't be home...
(Eve)Cause without me, you know you're lost(lost)
Minus you I'm better off
(Zoe & Kayla)Soon you will know
Chorus: (All)
(Zoe)You can try, you can try
(Eve)You know I know it'd be a lie
(Kayla)Without me you're gonna die
(All)So you better think clearly, clearly
Before you nearly, nearly
Mess up the situation that your gonna miss dearly, dearly
C'mon
Chorus: (All)
(All)This is the potential make-up song
please just admit you're wrong
Which will it be?
Which will it be?
"That was amazing!" Kayla said as we high fived each other.
"We're going to dominate that talent show!" Zoe said.
"Then I can rub it in Rodrick's ugly ass face!" I shouted, Kayla looked at me weirdly.
"You're still going at it with him?" Kayla asked.
"Yep, I'm surprised neither of them are dead yet." Zoe interjected.
"It doesn't matter. We're going to win." I said confidently.
"Oh really now?" We heard a voice say and to my horror, Rodrick's van was parked outside my garage.
(Rodrick's POV earlier)
My band and I were playing in my garage trying to decide what we were going to perform at the talent show.
"We can't play something we've already played before." I told them.
"It's not like any other band is as cool as us." Chris said.
"Slow your road little dude, don't get too cocky." Bill said.
"You know what, what we need to do is find out what the other competition has to offer." Ben said.
"That is the most…" I was about to insult him until the thought of Eve popped up in my mind, she did say she had a band so maybe we should pay a little visit over her house. "Greatest idea ever." We loaded up my van and drove to Eve's house. Her garage was open and just as I thought, she was playing the drums.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Eve said to me as I got out the van.
"Just wanted to see my competition in action." I said as a matter of factly.
"In other words, you're nervous that my band will beat the crap out of yours?" Eve said with confidence.
"It's the other way around Eve." I said.
"You're going down Rodrick. Just take your defeat like a man. Of that's right, you're not a man so you don't understand what I'm saying." Eve laughed.
"So you think you'll win huh?" I said.
"Yea, what about it?"
"Let's make this a little more fun." I said, Eve cocked her eyebrow.
"What kind of fun?" Eve asked.
"Let's make a bet, if I will you'll be my maid for a month." I said.
"Interesting, if I win, you have to go to school in a pink mini skirt with four inch stilettos." I mentally cringed at that idea but I'm going to lose to her. "Do we have a deal?" Eve held her hand out.
"Deal" I said. I'll be damned if I lose this bet
