Im so sorry that this chapter is running late. not wait, that this chapter is late. SO SORRY! but its up now. ENJOY!!!!!
MAX'S P.O.V
I was about to comment on this but then, some guy came on stage and announced, "Now everyone, I would like to introduce, Silver Wings. And they will be the last performence of this round." There was screaming and girls yelling "OMG! CHRIS! YOU'RE SO CUTE!" And guys yelling"YO, ALEX! YOU'RE FREAKING SEXY! COME AND RUN WITH THE BIG BOYS!!" Me and Fang rolled our eyes at this. Guess he's not the only member of the family that people want to have fun with.
Then I saw Alex's guy friends. The one's I saw from the concert. Then I saw Alex. She was holding a guitar.
Ha. No wonder she said that she had a big day today. And she looked a bit nervous.
Even though she looked nervous, she looked good up there. It looked like they had some kind of uniform on. The twins, which I believed were called Ryan and Bryan, had black jeans with dark but not that dark blue shirts. If that makes any sence. While Alex and Chris had black jeans except that Alex's jeans were skinnies. They had gray shirts. But on the blue shirts they said 'Silver Wings' in gray, on the back. While vice versa on the gray shirts.
When everyone got into their positions Chris, with his guitar, came to the mike. You know, I didn't really see him the night of the concert, but I could see why the girls were yelling out that he was cute. But let me tell you, this dude might be cute, but Fang was even hotter. Ugh. I gotta stop thinking about Fang like that. Stupid teenage horomones.
"Hey guys! How's it going?" The crowed screamed in return. "For the one's who don' t know us, I'm Chris-" more screaming and a whole lot of people chanting his name. " He pointed to one of the twins with a guitar, "And this is, very humble man is Ryan-" once again, more screaming. Pointing the twin behind the drums, he said "And this is the very handsome guy is Bryan-" wait for it, more screaming. He gestured to Alex " And this ladies and gentlemen, is the most wonderful Alex-" Yep, you guessed it. More screaming. And a very loud whistle from Iggy. "And right now, we are going to play for you 'When I Get Home, You're So Dead'. By the awesomeness, 'Mayday Parade'." No wonder Alex had been listening to that alot.
They started to play, and the crowed went wild. I have to admit, the band sounded pretty good. Chris souded pretty good. And the combination of Chris singing lead and Alex sining back-up was pretty good. They were all very into it too. You see all of them bobbing their head. They were all moving to the music too.
Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel were all having fun. They were dancing to the music and Nudge and Angel got me to dance with them. That got me a 'You're Crazy' look from the silent one who was staring at the band with amusement. But the ones that were really into it were love struck Iggy. And Gazzy. Once in a while you would see his blond hair bouncing up and down the way Alex's or Chris's hair moved. Which reminded me. The flock would probably need a bath. And I felt like I was forgetting something? Oh well, I'll remember it later.
Alex and one of the twins- it's just so confusing which one is which- were at the opposites of the stage. Then there was a bit a of a pause. Then they started to play agian, and runnig towards each other. Oh god. What are they? Stupid. They were going to collide with one another. But then Alex jumped, while still playing her guitar, and the twin went to his knees and slid under Alex, while she lept over him.( I know, bad desciption. But way awesome stunt.) When they landed or stopped, whatever, they paused and then played. The crowd went crazy.
"That was so AWESOME!" Gazzy and Fang yelled. No wait, let me re-pharse that. Gazzy yelled. Fang, just said it in a completly dazed tone.
"WHAT!?! What was awesome?" Iggy popped out of no where. I quickly told him what just happened. After and when I was finshed explaining, Iggy was stunned, and the band finished.
When the crowd had calm down a bit the announcer was, well announcing that 'Silver Wings' won the round and going to the last round that will only be five bands competing. He said them by ranks : Silver Wings, Under Water Astronuts, Instant Karma, Run Away Dreams, and To Chose And Not Be Chosen.
Alex met with us after that. Everyone said she was great. She just replied with "It was nothing." I said it once, and I'll say it again, what a Fang move.
"So hopefully you guys bought clothes and some things you wanted." Alex said. Then I realized that there was a moutain of shopping bags near Angel and Gazzy. I wonered how we were going to get all this stuff back to Alex's house.
" Hey Alex? How are we going to get all those things," I pointed to the mountain of bag, "back to the um, house?"
"Actually there's a car out in the parking lot to bring the stuff back to my place. You guys wanna go and put the stuff in the car now? The car won't leave until we leave." She said and already getting somethings to carry.
"Hey Alex? Can you get my things? It's not that much. I just need to get something. I'll be back for your next performance." With that Fang went to do, whatever silent guys go and do.
We were walking in the parking lot and going back into hell. When I say hell, I mean the mall. And no sign of the Prince of Silence. I gotta stop calling Fang nicknames.
Nudge and Angle were talking about the cute clothes they bought. I had no idea what Alex, Iggy, and Gazzy were talking about. Actually Alex got really close to Gazzy and Iggy. Like the strange bird kids trio within seven strange bird kids.
"Are you SERIOUS?!?! You can teach me?!? That would be awesome!" Gazzy exclaimed. Now I HAD to know what they were talking about. Cause I really didn't want Gazzy learning anything dangerous.
"Whaaaat are you guys talking about?" I said catching them by surprise. The three jumped a little.
Gazzy had a face of pure happiness. "Alex said she can teah me how to play guitar!"
"That's great Gaz. I hope you like um, learning." Hey! I didn't know what else to say. Then they jumped right into their conversation.
It was about 4:26. And very warm for Feburary. Like 70 degrees. In freaking New Jersey. JERSEY MAN! God, you gotta hate global warming. And I'm the one who has to stop it. No preassure or anything. Oh no! Let's just dump everything on Max's shoulders. Let her handle it. Stupid destiny. And I don't even believe in destiny! Ugh! Just on-
I bumped into something. Natrulally, it was Fang. What is up with me bumping into him today? He was carrying a big bag. A very, very, very LARGE bag. I wonder what was inside it. When I looked up to see his face, he had that smirk on his face, that I hate and love. But he wasn't looking at me. He was looking at Alex.
When Alex looked up, whatever she saw on Fang's face, said "The car's over there." She pointed to the car we just came from. Fang just nodded and walked over to the car. The flock and Alex started to walk again. I was thinking if I should wait for him or just to go with the rest of them. When I looked over at Fang, was thinking how he's my best friend, and how much time I wanted to spend time with him. When I looked to the flock and Alex, no one was there. I guess they made up my mind for me. I wonder if they set this up.
Well? What are you waiting for? GO! Angel out of now where said in my mind. Well that answers my question. They definetly set this up.
So I went to Fang. He was in the car that held our new things. He actually bumped his head on the car, when I said "Hey."
He got out of te car and said " What's up?" He was also rubbing his head.
"Ahh. Poor baby bumped his head?" I teased him. He rolled his eyes. As usual. "So what did you go buy?" I tried to peer over his shoulder but he closed the door before I got to see the big bag he had.
"Why do you care?" He mocked me.
"I don't. Sorry." I teased him. Even though I was like dying to know what he bought. He rolled his eyes as usual.
It was time for Alex and the band to preform. Alex said if they won then they would get to choose 1 out of 5 bands to preform for their high shcool carnival or dance or something. I think it has to do with raising money or something. Most of the people here that were cheering for Silver Wings were from their high school. And there was a lot of people, I might say.
Okay so Silver Wings were on next. They were last to perform. All the rest of the groups were good. Really good. The last round, the bands had to perform one song from another famous band. But now, in the final round, they have perform one of their songs. Once again on stage, Silver Wings and once again, Alex looked nervous.
"Okay people, right now we have something um well, lets say unique. The song obviosly, Alex created. Called 'Face Down'" Announced Chris. The crowd went wild again. "Well okay... So here we go! One...two...three-" And they started playing.
Hey girl you know drive me crazy
One look puts the rhythm in my hand
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.
Cover up with make-up in the mirror
Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you!
Do you feel like a man,
when you push around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend,
one day this world's going tot end
as your lies crumble down,
a new life she has found.
A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect,
Every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade forever
You will surely drown....
I see what's going down.
I see the way you go and
say your right again,
say your right again,
heed my lecture
Do you feel like a man,
when you push around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend,
one day this world's going tot end
as your lies crumble down,
a new life she has...
One day she will tell you that she had enough
its coming round again.
One day she will tell you that she had enough
its coming round again.
Do you feel like a man,
when you push around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend,
one day this world's going tot end
as your lies crumble down,
a new life she has...
Face down in the dirt,
she says 'This doesnt hurt'
she says 'I finally had enough...'
Face down in the dirt,
she says 'This doesnt hurt'
she says 'I finally had enough...'
And they finished. It was pretty awesome.! Even Fang was bobbing his head. And thats hard to do.
All bands were on stage now to announce the winner. The judges were saying something, blah blah blah. Don't really care. The moment of truth,( I always wanted to say the that )
"The winner is....." the guy said and paused for dramatic. "Is....."
