Late night drives All alone in my car I can't help but start Singing lines from all our favourite songs And melodies in the air Singin' life just ain't fair - 'View from Heaven' by Yellowcard
Freddy was walking Summer home, hand in hand in the moonlight, and they were discussing the perfect things.
"I think the most perfect thing that anyone could ever do to me was to write me a letter with a line from a song by the 'All-American Rejects'." Summer replied, staring up at the stars. Freddy stopped in his tracks.
"You like the All-American Rejects?"
"Yes I do. Is there a problem with that? The All-American Rejects are cool."
"I know they are, but why do you like them?"
Summer shrugged at the question. "I don't really know. The music is easy to relate to, and the lyrics are very catchy." Freddy snorted.
"That's what you said about 'In the End of Time'." They started walking again.
"Hey! I was 9 and stupid!"
"Sorry, I'm just teasing you."
Summer smiled up at her boyfriend.
"So, what would you think would be the most perfect thing in the entire world?"
Freddy thought for a moment, before replying.
"I don't have to awnser that."
Summer stopped walking and looked up at him.
"Why?" Freddy placed his arms around her waist.
"Because I'm looking at her."
Summer grinned from ear-to-ear and when she parted her lips a tad, Freddy lowered his mouth to hers in a short, sweet, gentle kiss. Summer pulled away and smiled at him.
"We're in front of my apartment."
"I know." Freddy mumbled.
"Listen, my mom's wedding is in 2 weeks, and I was wondering if you'd be my date. Pretty much everyone will be there, except Leonard, Billy and Michelle had plans that day."
"I'd love to."
Summer kissed him again and squeezed his hand while doing so.
"I'll see you later then."
"Call me. " Freddy winked as he walked along to his house. Summer grinned broadly and went up to her apartment.
"Summer, wake up! We have to go to the mall to get dresses for the wedding! SUMMER! PICK UP THE PHONE!"
Summer's eyes snapped awake at hearing Marta's voice on the awnsering michene. She must've slept through the ringing again, and her mom told her the night before that she'd meet the girls at noon at the food court. She reached towards the phone and picked it up.
"Hey Marty."
"Summer! Get dressed and go outside. Mom and I will pick you up in 20 minutes, just calling to remind you."
"Thanks Marty."
"Anytime Sum."
Summer hung up the phone, took a shower, then threw on a lavender polo shirt, a pair of too-long kakhi shorts, her black Chuck Taylor All-Star low-tops and pulled her hair into a half-ponytail. After eating a pop-tart, she grabbed her purse and went outside to wait for Marta. Soon, a beige SUV pulled up beside her. Recoginzing the car as Marta's, she ran to the door and pulled it open to see Katie, Alicia and Tomika sitting in the car already.
"Hey Sum! C'mon, hurry up! We havta go pick up Leni." Summer slid into the seat next to Tomika in the back seat and Katie pulled the door shut.
"Leesh, that dress looks amazing on you!" Summer said as Alicia stepped out of the dressing room, wearing a black spagetti-strap dress with yellow emboirded stars at the bottom and top. Eleni came out next, and she was wearing a baby blue dress with splashes of hot pink.
"You guys look great." Katie replied as she sat down next to Summer in the dressing room corridor. Alicia turned around in a 360 degree circle.
"I think I'm gonna get this one."
"This is the first store we've been to! There are still, like, so many others!" Summer said. Alicia shrugged.
"Oh well, this dress rocks, I'm getting it."
"I really like mine too." Eleni replied and they both went back to change. Katie stood up.
"Hey, guys, we're gonna go meet up with Marta and Tomika at Gadzooks, find us there, okay?"
"Okay."
Katie and Summer exited the store and walked down to Gadzooks, where they found Tomika and Marta looking at skirts.
"Ooooh! Lookie!" Katie squealed as she ran over to a black pinstripe spagetti-strap dress.
"That'd look so cute on you Kates." Tomika replied as she came to feel the material on the dress, which was now clutched in Katies' hands. "Dang, feel how nice that is." Marta then rushed up to Summer.
"Summer, I found the perfect outfit for you! Get over here, right now!" Marta grabbed Summers hand, and yanked her over to a selection of long, black pinstripe skirts. Summer rolled her eyes. "My god, I'll just wear whatever my mom picks out. I don't need anything!" It was Martas' turn to roll her eyes.
"Sum, all you pretty much have to do at the wedding is stand there and look cute!"
"I do not! I'm the Maid of Honor, hello?!"
Marta rolled her eyes again. "Summer, you'll look amazing in absloutley anything. I'm sure we'll find a dress somewhere." Sighing, she placed the skirt back on the railing. "Hey 'Mika, Katie? We're gonna go to Hazzard." Katie raised her hand in understanding, and Marta and Summer walked out of the store.
"Holy Gibson guitars Summer! That looks awesome!" Eleni squealed as Summer stepped out of the dressing room at Hazzards. She was wearing a spagetti-strap dress that was purple, pink, orange and gold-yellow. The top was sheer and had a Celtic-inspired design on the top. The dress reached her mid-calves, and the bottom was kind of twirl worthy.
"Spin around." Katie instructed, as she leaned against the wall next to Alicia.
"That is so cute Sum." Tomika replied as she sat down, holding the bag from Gadzooks. Marta then came out, wearing a strapless red velvet dress that reached an inch beneath her knees. On the dress were designs of roses outlined in silver.
"You guys are so pretty. Go. Buy them now, we have like, 10 minutes before we need to meet Summers mom." Katie insisted. Smiling, Marta and Summer ran back into their own dressing rooms.
Disclaimer: I might compose a song about how I don't own School of Rock. Hmm. Oh yea, I also don't own Gadzooks. Crap. I did make up Hazzards, which I imagine would be a Rockabilly store.
A/N: Omigod, I am so so sorry that I haven't updated whatsoever for like, ever. I've been meaning to get around to it. I've actually put off doing my Language and US History homework for this story. So now I have to go do it. The next chapter SHOULD be good, although FYI: I doubt I'll get it up in quite a while. I've just started 8th grade, and I don't think I've ever had this much homework. EVER. I can't promise updates every week like I started out doing. If I'm lucky, I can post the next chapters, which will be of the wedding and the first part of vacation, where something tragic WILL happen, before September is over. I've already wrote the last 2 chapters, and it has 1 alternate, which really really sucks.
But I do know EXACTLY how this story will end, and according to my brother (who has already read the ending), he thinks it's extremly corny. It may be corny. But my brother dislikes School of Rock (gasp!), so, who really cares about what HE thinks?! (OK, OK, I lied. His favorite part is when Lawrence and Freddy go into Deweys apartment.)
