Chapter Four:
"The band is going to fall apart..I know it" Summer thought. Since Marta had been killed, Freddy's interest in music had dropped, and Summer was worried about that effect that would have on the band members: Tomika and Alicia's singing was off-key; Zack was lazier than usual; Katie didn't talk much; Lawrence played depressing and remorseful song during break and Summer had lost her spunk. Life was a living hell...They needed a new back-up singer, so they were going to have auditions..That didn't go well with the band members:
"We're not letting some stranger into this band" Katie said
"We need a new back-up singer..No exceptions" Dewey said, quietly
"Can't it at least be someone we know?" Leonard asked
"Who? Who do we know, that is a really good singer, except for Alicia and Tomika?" Dewey asked
"Let me try" Summer said, quickly
"You?...Ok, Tinkerbell..Go up to the mic, let's see what you've got" Dewey said
"Plug your ears" Zack said. Summer flipped him off.
"I've been taking singing lessions..For your information" Summer said, pouting
"Lay off..Give her a chance" Katie said, glaring at Zack
"Ok..What song will you be singing Miss Hathaway?" Dewey asked
"How about "Alone" by Heart?" Summer asked
"Good choice..Con on guys" Dewey said
Everyone got to their places and picked up their instruments or got up to a mic. Summer took the front mic and the song started...Summer started singing:
"I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
You don't know how long I have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight
You don't know how long I have waited
You don't know how long I have waited
And I was gonna tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
And my love for you is still unknown
Alone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
Alone, alone" Summer sang
When the song was over, everyone was blown-away by how good of a singer Summer was..She had gotten one-hundered percent better since fifth grade...It was almost amazing. Summer turned around and looked at Freddy, who was actually smiling for the first time in almost a month...It made her felt good, that she had actually made him smile. Summer smiled back..Dewey walked over and shook Summer's hand.
"Summer..Wow..I mean..Wow" Dewey said. Summer laughed
"Thanks...So?" Summer asked
"Who thinks Summer should be our new back up singer?" Dewey asked
"Yeah" Everyone said, at diffrent times
"Welcome to the band, Tinkerbell" Dewey said. Summer smiled widly.
Katie ran over and hugged Summer. Katie was so proud of her..She had head Summer sing before, but never actually thought she would get to be in the band...She didn't want to forget Marta, or never wanted the band to...and knew they never would, but, now she had a feeling...Everything would be ok..The peices of the puzzle would all be found and put in place.
After band practice, Summer cheerfully walked home, almost skipping. She was deep in thought, deeply excited..Her thinking was halted when someone put their hand on her shoulder. She was momentarily surprised, and jumped..She turned around to see Freddy, laughing. Summer pushed him playfully and grinned.
"Hey Spaz" Summer said
"Congratulations..on being the new back-up singer" Freddy said, looking down to his feet
"Thanks...You're not upset..Are you?" Summer asked
"Why would I be up-set?" Freddy asked, raising his eyebrow
"Well..Because, Marta was.." Summer said, but was cut off by Freddy
"No..I'm not. It's been a month, Sum..I'm still feeling pain..and you know, always will..But, I think I should try to move on..Find another person to..be more that friends with" Freddy said, catiously
"Oh..Really?" Summer asked
"Yeah, really..I was kinda wondering..Will you like, go outand get a milkshake with me? YOu don't have to if you don't want to.." Freddy said, but was cut off
"I'd love to" Summer said, Freddy smirked
"My charm get's the best of everyone" Freddy said, sarcastically. Trying to keep his cool
"It does..Come on..Let's go to Dairy Queen" Summer said
Summer grabbed Freddy's hand and they started walking towards DQ...He was wondering if he was doing the wrong thing..Maybe starting a relationship with someone too soon..."No..This is just a date..No, It's not even a date, I'm just going to get some ice cream with Summer" Freddy thought "I'm not doing anything wrong." When they got to DQ, they both ordered a medium Oreo blizzard, sitting in a booth next to the freezers holding the boxed ice cream treats, they ate their blizzards, sitting on the same side of the booth. Not saying anything till they were about halfway done with their blizzards.
"This is probably pretty unconformable for you" Summer said
"Not really" Freddy said
"You're lying" Summer said
"No, I'm not...Well, I might be a little uncomfortable...I've really never sat this close to you before" Freddy said. Summer blushed
"Why's it so..uncomfortable?" Summer asked
"Um..I...I..."Freddy said, but was cut off
"Yeah, I know" Summer said
"This isn't a date or anything..Is it?" Freddy asked
"It is if you want it to be" Summer said
Summer could believe she had just said that..She was so embarassed. Freddy had a really weird look on his face, she was worried she had made him upset or something again..Like the kiss, on the day of Marta's funeral. Summer blinked quickly, that made Freddy's weird expression on his face, turn to a devious smirk.
"Hey..Don't worry. Let's just think this as a..meaningless date" Freddy said
"Ok, that sounds like an acceptable answer" Summer said
"We can do this another time too" Freddy said "Deal?"
"Deal" Summer said, shaking Freddy's hand
"This is a simply platonic relationship" Freddy said
"I hope it is..A un-platonical relationship might ruin my..reputation" Summer said
"You have a repuatation?" Freddy asked
"You know what I mean" Summer said, pushing Freddy
"Yeah..I know..We can see where out "relationship" goes from here" Freddy said
"Ok..We'll just have to see..I guess" Summer said in a weird tone. Freddy laughed
Summer felt like this was the right thing to do..Freddy and her needed to be good friends. He was right, they'd have to see if there was a relationship in they're future..On the way to Summer's house, Freddy walked Summer. They walked down the streets, their arms linked, talking animatedly. When they arrived at Summer's house, Summer quickly pecked Freddy on the cheek.
"Bye" Summer said
Freddy quicked pulled Summer in and kissed her passionately on the lips. It ended with Freddy smiling at Summer and walking off, Summer gave a small wave and walked into her house, about to fall over. That kiss had been so powerful, it felt like it had sucked all the life out of her..Wow, he was a good kisser. Summer ran up to her room, picked up her phone and dialed Katie's number, she needed to tell her this.
"Hello?" Katie answered
"Hey, Posh" Summer said
"Oh..Hey, Tink. What's up?" Katie asked
"Nothing..I just went to DQ with Freddy" Summer said
"DQ? With Freddy? Are you talking about a date or something?" Katie asked
"Kinda..it's a "meaningless date" in the words of Mr. Jones" Summer said
"Ouch..That sounds like a diss" Katie said
"It wasn't a diss..It was a pretty cool "meaningless" date..We had fun" Summer said
"Good, but...Not too much I hope" Katie joked
"No..But the day did end in a..kiss" Summer said, excitedly
"Really? Are you serious?" Katie asked
"I am" Summer said
"How good was it? I mean that time he kissed me in sixth grade..Wow" Katie said
"That's how it was for me too...I felt like I was going to fall over, my knees were like Jello" Summer said
"That's the effect he can give" Katie said
"Yeah..I've got to go..See you tommorrow" Summer said
"Okey dokie..Bye" Katie said
"Bye" Summer said
They both hung up at the same time..Summer could not stop thinking about that kiss....God, it was so good! It even involved some tounge..which kind of made it better. She knew she was going to have a dream about this tonight and was very looking forward to it, she always had dreams the night after something life-changing happened..She didn't really know if that moment was life-changing..But, it really did make a good start.
