Tada! The well-awaited chapter two… I hope. I'm writing this at 7:43 and I still have to go to school… heh heh heh. I realized my own mistake. If Mia and Michael never went out, the name Skinner Box has not occurred yet. Sorry! My mistakes!! The name of the band is now called Lose Ties.

Your winner is Ellie as the most annoying out of Millie and Ellie. As if we all didn't know that was coming… Please don't be angry with me about the time this took. I have midterms all this week, and my grandfather just passed away. ARGH! STRESS!!

And one last thing then I swear I'll shut up. I don't know if I made this clear or not but let me point out one thing…

MICHAEL LIKES JUDITH!!! HE IS ATTRACTED TO HER.

-Puts on Dr. Phil glasses- As a teenage boy, he is hormonal. To have attractions to (lets face it) attractive teenage girls, is not a strange thing, believe me.

Ok now that that's out of the way, Onto the Chapter!

 DISCLAIMER: Meg Cabot owns everything relevant… such as plot, and main characters. I sadly, own Reid, Adam, Shane and Joseph. : Shudders on Joseph: I do not own Felix. That also belongs to Meg Cabot… and Felix also belongs to Legs, but in a different sense… heh heh heh  ;-) The first song belongs to Maroon 5 and the second one belongs to Blink182.

Michael's POV

Note to self: Buy new guitar strings. I'm blistering my fingers on these stupid strings. Hopefully I can persuade Maya to go and get me some. I'm dying here…. I hope that didn't sound as gay as I thought it did. Eek.

I was in the middle of my second chorus when I heard Lilly screaming up the stairs. "Michael! MICHAEL! PHONE FOR YOU!"

"What?!" I yelled back placing my guitar on the floor next to my desk.

"PICK UP YOU OAF!" she screeched up the stairs. I heard Lilly sigh and breathe "Oi…"

"YES SATAN!" I screamed back before picking up the receiver. I heard Lilly laugh evilly then mumble something to herself. God she's scary…

"Harmony House, Michael speaking." I said into the mouth piece and swirling around in my chair. I heard static and honking from the other end.

"Hello?" said a muffled voice from the other end. I could barley make it out, but established it was Adam, Judith's close friend from the computer club.

"Adam?" I said into the phone. But I spoke to silence. Whoever was there was losing their connection. "HELLO?!" I yelled into the phone. "Ahh! Jesus, Michael!" screamed Adam. "Sorry, Adam. You weren't answering so I didn't know if you were still there." I said. I turned to my computer and clicked the solitaire button. I think I'm becoming addicted (A/N: based on a true story… tear). "Yeah. Hey I just wanted to know if you had received any word of whether or not we're having a computer club meeting on the fifth?"

I squinted over to my calendar. I had scribbled concert dates and a few computer club meeting dates. I'm so pathetic I even marked the concert days in blue and the computer club meetings in red. It is so sad. Even Reid says I need to get out more. And Reid's entire life revolves around his computer and his dedications to Lose Ties, which is not even a really great band yet considering we don't have a keyboard player. Seems as if a band wouldn't need one, but we need one badly..  In any event, my calendar read that we had a meeting that day and I'm sure Adam was getting pretty tired of waiting so I responded.

"Yup. Meeting on the 5th from 4-6." I said into the black mouthpiece.


"K. Thanks." Adam said quickly then hung up.

Gee what a nice guy.

It's really kind of obvious he likes Judith. I wish he'd just come out and say it so him and Judith can go out and Mia and me can go out…

Oh Zeus I did not just say that.

Luckily, I did not have to deal with my stupid emotions long because just then Lilly and her friend Tina came bursting into my room. Well, actually Lilly came bursting in and Tina just sort of awkwardly walked behind her staring at me and giggling a lot. Thank Isis that Judith doesn't giggle or I might've shot myself.

Just realized something. Isis is the cat god. Oh   my   Lord.

"What the hell is your problem!?" Lilly asked me red faced.

I thought for a minute.

"Hmmm. Well, there's always the 'Little sister and her best friend standing in my while I'm trying to have a decent moment with my good buddy Adam on the phone' scenario, but aside from that, I'm also allergic to oranges."

She seriously looked like she was going to hit me. She raised her arm and I squealed. Not even kidding. I'm not weak. Lilly's just strong. Tina laughed but Lilly shot her a glare that could seriously kill, so she shut up.

"You…" she said. "Are so going to pay. I heard everything about you and selling those stupid tickets to the computer club thing so you could miss a free period. I hate you."

"First Lilly, as superb as it is being threatened by you, I did not sell any tickets. Nor, did I in fact miss any periods today. There's also one last flaw in your plan. Why would I give the computer club guard tickets to not tell that I'm sneaking into it, when I'm in it?" I said standing up from my chair and putting the phone on the receiver.

"I thought you said Adam was on the other line?" Tina asked.

"No. He hung up on me awhile ago." I said leaning back in my chair.

Lilly stared at me for a long time before saying. "We'd better get in, Michael Moscovitz. Every single one of us. Me, Tina, Boris, Mia, Kenny, Shameeka, Joseph, all of us. We all paid you for tickets to that show a while back. So I'm letting you know, if one person does not get into this show that contains to that list, hell will break lose." She said before grabbing Tina and leaving.

She is so scary. And why is Joseph Sullivan coming to the concert? That kid urks me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"1…1…123!" Yelped Reid from behind me on drums. Then Felix started playing on bass, and before I knew it I was singing.


"You build me up

You knock me down

Provoke a smile

You make me frown

You are the queen of run a round

You know its true"

Then Felix chimed in

""You chew up you spit me out

Enjoy the taste I leave in your mouth

You look at me I look at you

Neither of us knows what to do.""

"Stop Stop!" I yelled into the mic. I looked around the cold cellar. It was only four days until the concert and this song still wasn't right. They had sold out tickets for about three weeks. We eventually found a keyboarder to play with us for the show on the 17th named Shane. He seemed talented enough to play. Plus, he's a really good writer. In fact, he wrote the song we were trying to perform before we messed it up.

"We're still a bit shaky in the third line." I said to everyone. Felix and Reid looked at each other and smiled. "What?" I asked.

"Nothing." Felix said looking at his feet.

Thankfully, Shane spoke up, "Look, since we can't have this done by 17th, why don't we just start rehearsing the other songs. This song can wait, we've been going at it for about an hour and should seriously move on."

The kid's got a point.

"Alright," Felix said into the mic. "Let's do Asthenia."

Everyone agreed and on Reid's count, we drummed our way into Asthenia written by Felix. The parts for that song are hard to do because they're so quick. (A/N: Bold is Michael and no bold is Felix)

 Last night it came as a picture
With a good reason, a warning sign
This place is void of all passion
If you can imagine it's easy if you try
Believe me I failed this effort
I wrote a reminder this wasn't a vision
This time where are you Houston
Is somebody out there will somebody listen Then a clash of guitars and drums mixed.
Should I go back Should I go back Should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back Should I go back Should I
I hope I won't forget you

And so the song rang on. We made a list of all the songs at the end of practice that we were going to perform during the concert. By the time I got home, all I wanted to do is sleep. And I did. For about 7 hours… but was awoken by the squealing of girls in our kitchen. As usual…
