Chapter 3

"Mom, I'll be back in about 2 hours!" Amber informed her mother after she heard a beep from outside. "My friend Summer is here she's going to take me to band practice. I'll be back later!" Summer's mother beeped again. Amber rushed out of her house and hopped into the mini-van. Katie, Summer, and Tomika were already in the car.

"Hi, Mrs. Hathaway! Thank you so much for picking me up," Amber said in a very polite manner.

"Oh no problem! It's nice to meet you Amber! All right kids the last stop is Freddy's house!"

On the way there the kids talked excitedly about how their first practice with Amber would go. The van stopped in front of a large house.

"Whatever mom!" Freddy shouted as he treaded out of the house. He jumped into the van and sat next to Amber.

"You know, we never made you a nickname," Freddy stated.

"A nickname?" Amber asked.

"Yeah like I'm Posh Spice," Katie piped in.

"I'm Spazzy McGee!"

Amber giggled.

"Hmm..." Summer said thoughtfully.

"What do you think of Shadow?" Tomika asked.

"Shadow?" Freddy questioned.

"Well she sung Ashlee Simpson's Shadow!"

"Yeah..." Amber agreed. "That makes a ton of sense!"

"Alright! Forever shall you be known as Shadow!" Freddy said as he christened her with his drum sticks as if she were becoming a knight.

"You guys are so weird!" Amber giggled.

At prctice Amber looked around. The walls of Zack's garage were covered in rock posters. They had the equipment was all set up. "Wow," Amber whispered in awe. She had never been anywhere like this. She was used to walls with pretty pastel colors never anything so...punk!

"What never seen a garage before?" Freddy asked in a mocking tone.

"Or are you just overwhelmed by my sexiness?" he accused as he jumped in front of her to block her view.

"Oh yeah right! Yes, Freddy you're so hott! Marry me please!" Amber retorted in a very sarcastic tone. He laughed as he walked away and sat behind his drum set.

Amber headed over to the mic. "Awesomeness!" she said.

"Awesomeness?" Katie questioned.

"Yeah my pal Sam made it up. She thought it added a little twist to a rather common word."

Katie giggled. "We're going to start now," Katie informed her.

"What are we gonna practice?" Amber questioned.

"How about something from The Who?"

"Dude I love the one they use for the theme song of CSI!" Freddy exclaimed.

"I think I know all the word to that one so if I like screw this up bad forgive me," Amber chuckled.

"Okay," Zack laughed.

She began to sing...

"I'll say it again you're like totally awesome!" Freddy complimented.

"Yeah!" Alicia agreed.

Amber giggled.
