Chapter 34
We all hopped up on stage and started setting stuff up.
Iggy with his drums, Ella her violin, Nudge her bass, Asher with the guitar, Fang also with a guitar, and me with the mike.
I was done first because all I had to do was adjust it to my height and then I was done. I looked around the medium-ish crowd we had.
Fay was behind the counter wiping something with her ever present dish rag. Paul came out of the back with a tray of drinks balanced on his hand.
A high pitched sound made me wince.
I looked over to Lissa's bubbly figure. She was sitting with a girl with the same skanky clothes and personality as her, and two cocky looking boys. The other girl was literally clinging to one of the cocky boys, while Lissa bashed her eyelashes at the other one.
I rolled my eyes and walked over to Fang.
"Hey," I said, as I watched his olive hands gently strum the strings.
He looked up from the frets and grinned at me, "Hey,"
I motioned with my eyes over to Lissa's flirtatious form, "Lissa alert."
Fang's eyes darkened slightly, and his forehead scrunched up in a deep frown.
"Crap." He muttered, glancing to where Lissa was giggle like a pathetic creature from under the ground that smells like rotten fish and comes out from under the ground to eat innocent little children…
Uh, sorry I got ahead of myself…
I suddenly got an idea, a smile forming on my face.
Fang looked at me with an eyebrow raised, "What are you thinking? I know that look."
My smile just got bigger.
Comprehension filled Fang's face when he read my expression. Then he grinned slightly.
"You're so evil."
I laughed, "Thank you."
I still don't get how he can read me like an open book.
It's just unnatural…
I checked with everyone before heading back towards the front of the stage. I looked around the crowd one more time before speaking into the mike.
"Hey, how is everyone tonight?"
Some people whistled, others murmured "good," and a couple even said "You're mom."
Wow…really? That's just sad.
I rolled my eyes at the comments, "As some of you might know, we're Fall and Rise."
A couple people cheered, telling me that they're fans.
"Thank you. We're going to be performing in the IMusic Band Competition on the…uh, 19th! Yeah, the 19th, so please come and support us."
I licked my lips, "This first song we're going to play is One Girl Revolution. Hope you like."
I nodded and Iggy and Nudge started playing a faster pitched tune.
Everyone slowly joined in.
Then I started to sing.
(A/N: One Girl Revolution By Superchic(k))
I wear a disguise
I'm just your average Jane
The super doesn't stand for model
But that doesn't mean I'm plain
I grinned when I realized how much this song relates to me.
If all you see is how I look
You miss the superchick within
And I christen you titanic underestimate and swim
Fang walked up next to me playing the guitar and I took the mike off the stand before singing to him while he nodded his head, looking down at the frets.
I've got the rifle gonna be myself
I've got the rifle gonna be myself
I've got the rifle gonna be myself
I've got the rifle gonna be myself
I spun around while jumping and singing.
I'll be everything that I want to be
I am confidence in insecurity
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world
I stopped spinning and sang out into the crowd.
And I'm a one girl revolution
And I'm a one girl revolution
And I'm a one girl revolution
I walked around the stage while singing, smiling at all of the people who were out of their seats jumping around, though it was mostly teenagers.
Some people see the revolution but most only see the girl
I can lose my hard earned freedom if my fear defines my world
I declare my independence from the critics and their stones
I can find my revolution I can learn to stand alone...
I did a superman pose while Asher, Fang, and Iggy started playing loudly. I stopped with the pose and started singing again.
I'll be everything that I want to be
I am confidence in insecurity
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I walked up to Ash and held up a finger gun, then shot him as I sang.
I'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world...
He pretended to get hit and stuttered backwards. I laughed and ran over Fang and wrapped my arm around his neck from the side, leaning into him.
And I'm a one girl revolution
I'm a one girl revolution I'm a one girl revolution
They started playing lower notes and quicker pace. Nudge was being a natural wiz on her bass guitar.
I'm a one girl revolution I'm a one girl revolution And I'm a one girl revolution
I let go of Fang and started jumping in circles again.
Hey…it's fun…
I'll be everything that I want to be
I am confidence in insecurity
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I pointed my finger gun to the ceiling and "shot it."
I'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world
I walked back to the front of the stage and sang, feeling slightly dizzy.
everything that I want to be
I am confidence in insecurity
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world
Fang and Asher started playing softer and I sang quieter.
I'm a one girl revolution I'm a one girl revolution
I took a deep breath and grinned brightly at the screaming fans. I walked over to Fang and kissed him lightly on the cheek.
Take that Lissa!!
"Thank you," I said into the mike, ignoring the Redhead Wonder's furious gaze, "We're going to take a slight break, but we'll be back soon."
We waved to the crowd then exited the stage and to the back room where there were couches, chairs, and a big floor length mirror.
I collapsed onto a couch, sighing deeply. Fang took a seat next to me and lazily draped his arm behind me on the couch.
Iggy and Ella sat next to each other on another couch, in the same manner as Fang and I.
Are they going out?
Nudge stood in front of the mirror turning in all different directions, looking at her reflection.
Asher was splayed out on the ground in the middle of the room on his back. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, looking like he was about to fall asleep.
…I really don't understand my brother sometimes.
"I'm going to get a drink." Nudge announced after a minute of silence, "Anyone want to come?" She turned to us with her eyebrow raised.
"I'll come." Ella said, getting up.
And, of course, Iggy followed, "I'll come too."
"Anyone else?" Nudge asked.
I sighed, "I guess I'll come." I lifted myself up and walked over to where Iggy, Ella, and Nudge were leaving, "Ash, Fang?" I said, "Want anything?"
Fang shook his head, frowning about something.
Eh, I'll ask him later.
Asher's nose twitched, "Bottled water, please." The he became still again.
Weirdo…
I rolled my eyes at them before leaving.
I walked over to the bar where Ella, Iggy, and Nudge were talking to Fay. As I walked across the room I noticed that the Redhead Wonder wasn't in here.
"Good," I thought to myself, "Maybe she finally left."
I walked up to the bar and leaned against it, "Can I have two waters Fay?" I asked politely, smiling.
She smiled back at me, "Of course dear."
She handed them to me and I gave her five dollars.
"Thanks Fay." I said as I turned to Iggy, El, and Nudge, "I'm going to go give Ash his water."
They all nodded and continued to talk about song choices for the IMusic Band Competition.
I rolled my eyes before heading to the back room.
"Hey Ash," I said as I walked in, "Where's Fang?"
He wasn't in here anymore.
Ash didn't move from his position on the floor…still, "He went somewhere. He didn't say where."
I nodded slowly, thinking about what other room here that Fang knew about, "Here's your water."
I tossed it at him and he caught it perfectly, with his eyes still closed.
I shook my head as I walked out of the room again.
He's such a freak.
"Fang?" I called as I walked around behind the stage, "Fang? Where are you?"
Good lord where was that boy?!
I didn't find him in the front room, he wasn't on the stage, not in the bathrooms, where else…oh! The broom closet!
Some of you might be thinking, "Max, why would Fang be in a broom closet?"
Well this is my answer, "To get a broom, duh!"
Jeez…and people say I'm dumb…
I walked over to the closet and opened it.
Boy, did I find Fang…
…but it wasn't a broom he was kissing…
It was the Redhead Wonder.
Uh, oh…Fang is in TROUBLE…
Hope you liked it better than the last one!!!
Please review!!!
Thanks!!
