.........................................................................................................
Summer Hathaway stormed grumpily into the classroom. Her head pounding and her jaw clenched. Never, in her entire life of 16 years had she been so angry. the band had recently lost at the battle of the bands for the first time since 5th grade and the band had dumped all the blame on her. She was the band manager after all and since they could blame themselves (oh no we couldn't do that, the people who actually did the bloody playing couldn't possibly be at fault, wouldn't dream of considering that) they blamed summer, with stupid allegations like, she didn't scope out the competition well enough or she didn't remind them to get a goodnight sleep be for preforming the next day. What the hell?!
In frustration
she ran her fingers threw her waist-length black hair and stared up
at the black board and started to write out her bell work just as a
certain bad-ass Blondie entered the room. Summer looked up at him and
her breath hitched, God she had to stop doing this! She had known
this boy since she was 4 years old, he shouldn't have this effect on
her, he was just walking into the room for Christ sake! but as much
as she scolded herself, Summer couldn't shake the feeling she got
every time he was within 50 feet of her. Summer had never really had
a Boyfriend not that she wasn't pretty or anything, far from it, but
she was way to focused on other things to even consider making time
for one. He caught her gaze and summer quickly looked away, blushing
form the embarrassment of being caught starring. He smiled at her and
walked over to her desk. oh god! oh god! Summers mind spun and her
eyes darted around the room. Its not like they hadn't ever spoken be
for but that was always strictly about the band or he was taunting
her for being they way she was. What could he possibly want now? and
then it her, he was probably pissed off at her like everyone else was
and he was probably coming over to let her know. Anger soared threw
her body as he walked up to her desk and looked down at
her.
"Summer, I just wanted to say that"
"Save
it Freddy Jones, I don't need to hear it from you too! I'm sorry that
I some how lost the battle of the bands for you and I'm sorry that I
screw everything up but if I have to hear one more thing about this
bull-shit I might scream!" She glared up at him but the stopped
when she saw his expression. It was one of confusion and a slight bit
of hurt.
"Actually I was coming over to say that I'm sorry
for the way everyones been treating you and I'm sorry they blame you
because its our own fault, and......forget." with that Freddy
Jones walked off and took his seat across the classroom.
Summer
had never felt so stupid in her life. Her eyes stung with tears that
she would not let fall as she slammed her head against the
desk.
"Dammit"
LATER IN BAND PRACTICE
Summer was
running band practice today because Dewey had some important business
to take care of downtown. Barely any of the band members were
speaking to her and when they did it was not on what you would call
"nice" terms. Glares were shot her way as she wrote down
notes for preparations they had to make. People didn't think she saw
them but she did, and then while they were taking a break the
whispering started. She knew they were talking about her, there was
no doubt in her mind. Soon she couldn't take it anymore and she
slammed her fist on a table.
"Alright if anyone has anything
they want to say then say it to me right now"
"Why
would we have anything to say to you after you screwed us over!"
Alicia said with a cruel smirk on her face. There was a murmur of
agreement around the room.
"You people are crazy! I had
Nothing to do with us losing"
"Nothing to do with it?
Summer it was all your fault! You're the band manager!" Katie
said.
"You are right I am the band manager, and maybe It was
my fault because I didn't take enough notes or something. Well do ya
ll want some notes now? stop sucking!" The room went dead silent
and they all stared at her in shock."you heard me! Stop screwing
up cords that you have known for years. Stop partying and getting
drunk the night be for a gig." with this she pulled out a
cigarette pack from Alicia's bag. "Stop smoking because it
damages your vocal cords," she walked over to Zach "stop
skipping practice to go screw Marta!" she walked over to Tomika
tears streaming freely down her face now. This one was going to be
mean but she had heard enough. "stop Taking extra times at
breaks so you can go throw up everything you've ate!" Now she
turned and faced everybody "And please stop FUCKING UP ON
STAGE!"
"Thats
enough Summer." Freddy who hadn't said a word this whole time
spoke up"
"You're right Freddy, that is enough."
and then her voice dropped to barely a whisper " I quit."
and she walked out of the room. and leaned against the wall of the
hallway sobbing into her hands. Soon afterwords and very angry Freddy
Jones came out of the room and slammed the door being him.
"What the
hell are you doing!?" he yelled at her.
"what does it
look like I'm doing? I'm quitting"
"you cant quit
summer! Don't let them get to you like this. Not when your need so
much"
"oh what the hell do you know Jones!? No one
needs me in there"
"how can you be so blind summer? How
can someone as smart as you be so blind?" Freddy asked earnestly
.
"what are you talking about?" Summer's head hurt and
Freddy was really starting to confuse her. God, she really just
wanted to get out of here.
" I'm talking about the fact that
something is set so plainly in front of you and you wont even open
your eyes and see it!" Freddy started to walk off but summer's
voice stopped him.
"do you like me Freddy
Jones?"
"what?"
"do you like me?"
Freddy
just started at her for a moment in shock but then he found his voice
"no." that hurt her he could tell.
"do you think
I'm pretty"
"no" summer started to bite her lip
now to hold back a fresh wave of tears that was threatening to
fall.
"Am I in your heart at all?" God why was she
doing this to herself?.
"no." Now the tears fell and
she felt like her heart was being torn up but she had to ask one last
question.
"If I walked away from you right now Freddy Jones
would you cry"
"no." Summer couldn't bare it
anymore and she started to walk off but he grabbed her arm and spun
her around to face him.
"I don't like you, I love you."
he reached up and gently whipped a tear away from her cheek. "you're
not pretty you're beautiful." he pushed a stray hair out of her
face "you are not in my heart you are in my soul" he pulled
her close to him and pulled her chin up so he could look in her eyes
"and oh god Summer, if you walked away, I wouldn't cry, I would
die." with that he placed his lips softly on hers and Summer
smiled against his lips. She didn't know if the band would every
forgive her but she did know one thing, she was in love and her love
loved her back and that was enough for her.
THE END.
