Chapter Two:
I walked to band practice that day..I decided to walk alone..I wanted to think about the dance..I need someone to go with! Damn! Why won't anyone ask me to it? What's wrong with me? When I arrived at Dewey's apartment complex, I smiled, hearing the music coming from the apartment the band practiced in..I walked up to the apartment, and entered it..Remembering that tonight was once again a band sleepover, it was a school night, but we really didn't care..Our parents didn't either..So, I went over and stood next to my drummer twin, he was banging away on that drum-set of him..I think he was playing the drum riff for, AC/DC's "Back in Black"..I smiled, because that was my favorite song.
"Hey, Spazzy" I said
"Spazette..Why'd you walk alone?" Freddy asked
"I wanted to think" I said
"Ah..I get it..The dance..Don't worry, El..You'll get a date to it" Freddy said, I blushed
"Whatever you say" I said, walking away and sitting by Summer on Dewey's red suede couch
I listened to the band play all their original and cover songs..I was enjoying it like always'..But, when they started playing: "School of Rock"..I took a sudden walk down memories lane...
Flashback
I was standing backstage, watching Zack play his solo in our song "School of Rock"..It was amazing! I actually thought we had a chance at winning "Battle of the Bands"..It would be really cool for a bunch of 5th graders too..When the performance ended, I ran over and hugged my brother, then quickly running over to Gordon.
"Oh my God! Gordon those lights were perfect! You're amazing!" I shrieked, hugging him..He blushed
"Um..Thanks" Gordon said
End Flashback
I think it was then when Gordon developed that crush on me.. Thinking of this, I found myself staring at him..When he saw me, he waved, I gave him a smile, flashing my braced teeth..He blushed. I actually hope he's my date for the dance...I didn't know it, but I was daydreaming for the rest of practice, It was Marta who brought me back into the real world.
"Eleni..Wake up!" Marta yelled into my ear
"What?..Oh, hey Marta..What's up?" I asked
"Practice is over..We need to get ready for the sleepover" Marta said
"'Kay..I guess I'll go home and get ready" I said, getting up and running out of the apartment
--------------------------------------------------------------
I was at Katie's house thirty minutes later, everyone was there already..That always happens to me..Freddy had left before me, so he was there..So, on and so on..I sat next to Katie and smiled at everyone.
"Ok..Let's get this party started" Katie said, smiling
