Help, I need somebody
Help, not just anybody
Help, you know I need someone, help
Chrissy's POV:
Mel's dad Senator Russell Burke is here for the weekend and he is quizzing Lennox and Ryder on everything he's done and he hands them $10 every time, he offered me to play to but I just wanted my dad's lasagne he makes the best lasagne.
"And now one for my granddaughter, what former U.S Senator sponsored the landmark consumer protection act of 1996?" Senator Burke asked Lennox
"Was it Russell Burke of Ohio?" She said
"It was correct for $10" Senator said handing Lennox 10 bucks
"Now Ryder, what mid-western congressmen fined the odds by being elected-"he started but Ryder jumped up
"You, you, you, you, you. Uh Russell Burke of Ohio" Ryder said
"Before I even finished the question, Golden Boy" Senator said handing Ryder 10 bucks and then Senator decided to catch up with us.
"So Lennox how've you been?" he asked
"I've been good I'm co-editor of the school blog" she said
"That's great, Ryder how about you?" Ryder said
"Well Chrissy and I have been dating for 9 months and I've met her mum" Ryder said
"Wow 9 months that's great. Chrissy how about you?" He asked me
"I am now president of the photography club and I am in charge of the Create Festival this year" I said smiling and Ryder put his arm around my waist
"That's amazing well I best be heading off" Senator said getting up and leaving
"So I spoke to Mr Shamtu about the Create Festival and I get full coverage without Roman so I'll be working with you and blogging it" Lennox said smiling
"Really that's amazing" I said
"I know right so when is it?" Lennox asked
"I don't know I need to run that up with the Principal and the head of every single creative thing like Photography, Art, Vis Com even English Teachers can pick the best essays and show them" I said
"Well at school tomorrow you and I can go speak with the principal and the heads of art departments and we'll go from there" Lennox said
"All right cool" I said.
The next morning I was with Lennox getting stuff in bag ready for school so my drawing books, pens and pencils stuff like that with 2 writing books, camera and my laptop when Lennox's phone buzzed
"Who is it?" I asked
"Jade Gillies?" Lennox said but it sounded like a question
"The most popular girl in school?" I asked
"Yeah" Lennox said and then Ryder came in to the living room where Lennox and I were
"Hey beautiful how are you?" he asked
"I'm fine how about you?" I asked as we kissed
"I'm ok. Lennox what about you?" Ryder asked
"I'm fine but I just got a text from Jade Gillies" Lennox said
"This is like a huge turning point in your life" Ryder said
"Honey it's just a text" I said
"Chrissy's right it's just a text" Lennox said
"No it's a huge text I'm going to take a picture of you reading it" Ryder said as Mel came in the living room.
"Aunt Mel will understand how big this is, this is enormous, this is epic go" Ryder said
"I got a text" Lennox said and Mel gasped sarcastically
"Shut up, so what are we freaking out about?" Mel said
"There's this girl at school" Lennox said
"Her name is Jade Gillies" I said
"No she's not just a girl she's the girl" Ryder said
"She's popular among the masses" Lennox said
"Oh so why is she texting you?" Mel said but it sounded rude so she re-phrased
"I mean so why is she texting you?" Mel asked in a happy tone.
"Because she wants to be a singer-song writer" Lennox said showing Mel the text
"And she wants to perform at the Create Festival I've come up with and in charge of" I said
"Yeah and she read my sisters poems on the school blog and now she wants my sister; Lennox's help to write her lyrics to play at my girlfriends Create Festival. This is amazing and Lennox and Chrissy are going to say yes" Ryder said
"Only because it's so wrong to discriminate against the popular" Lennox said.
"It's about time someone stood up for the well like glamorous people" Mel said
"Yeah" Lennox scoffed
"Alright text her back before she asks some other arty freak or beautiful arty freak" Ryder said and Lennox and I looked at him
"Ok fine" Lennox said
"Oh my god Jade Gillies is going to be in my house what am I going to wear?" Ryder freaked out and left
"I can't believe he thinks he's going to be popular if she comes over" Lennox said.
So Jade is over at our house so while Lennox is helping her with lyrics, I have to spit ball ideas or something and also see if she's good enough to be in the create festival well the music part cause I spoke with the principal and she said that everyone can participate but music students or anyone who wishes to do music needs to be seen/auditioned.
"Shoes and Purses, Shoes and Purses, Thank You God for Shoes and Purses, Shoes and Purses, Shoes-" Jade said but Lennox stopped her
"Ok I see where you're going with that but maybe tap into a more painful time in your life, and I don't mean when the shoe stores are closed" Lennox said
"Tell you what how about I jot a couple things down" Lennox said because all she got was a blank look from Jade
"Ok Babe I'm going to Lacrosse practise with the boys from the lacrosse team" Ryder said.
"I thought you were going Lacrosse practise with the boys from the football team" I joked
"Haha, but we'll be on the lacrosse… court, Jade right? I'm Ryder" Ryder said
"Is your nose bleeding?" Jade asks him
"Oh my god it is" I said standing up and Ryder touched his nose showing blood
"Oh my god" Ryder said running up the stairs and I ran with him to fix it
"I'll be back" I shouted running. Ryder and I got to the bathroom to clean his nose.
"I'm sorry I ruined your hang out with Jade. I just wanted to seem cool. You know so you don't leave me for being a loser" He said when I sat him on the edge of the bath tub to fix his nose
"It's cool besides her voice is kinda off tune" I laughed and he smiled
"And I happen to think losers are adorable, especially if their name is Ryder Scanlon" I said.
When I cleaned his nose he went into his room and I went to the kitchen to put it in the bin when I heard Jade shout
"Make sure it's herbal" and I saw Lennox look at the cup
"I'm sorry did you say friend or um tea bitch" Dad said and Lennox just walked off
"Hey dad" I said putting the tissues in the bin
"Wow period or nosebleed?" Dad asked
"Ryder's nose was bleeding, I just cleaned it for him" I said
"Is that girl in there your friend too?" Dad asked
"Who? Jade? Nah she just wants to be in my Create Festival" I said
"I thought everyone had to do it" dad said
"Well I spoke with the principal and she said everyone but music students, the music students or people who wish to perform will need to be auditioned by me and another judge of my choice" I said
"Alright good luck" Dad said.
The next day I was designing the poster for the create festival to run by the principal there are not dates or times yet but it's just a design and I was in the kitchen drinking a can of lemonade at the kitchen bench while dad was reading the paper and drinking coffee and neither of us were paying attention to the conversation between Jade and Lennox but when she [Jade] said
"I could pay you, my family's loaded" dad and I looked up, looked at each other and then to Jade
"No, no I couldn't take your money" Lennox said
"Oh wait a minute wait, wait, wait. Let's uh let's hear the woman out Hi Joe Longo, Chrissy's dad we didn't get a chance to me the other day but I represent Lennox" Dad said but I just tuned out and continued the design.
It was dinner time and Mel was speaking to her dad so I was asking my dad for help
"Hey dad can you give me your honest opinion on the poster?" I asked
"Sure show me poss" Dad said and I showed him the design
"Wow that's amazing" dad said and Mel came in the kitchen so I left to finish it.
i hope you enjoy :)
