A/N: Hello there! Chapter 3 is here! Woot! My pc is currently being fixed so I might not update in the next couple of days… As for the chapter I just want to say that the italics are for either lyrics and thoughts. Thought I'd tell you so you won't find it confusing!
Headstrong
"Circling, you're circling, you're circling you're head
Contemplating everything you ever said,
Now I see the truth
I got a doubt,
A different motive in your eyes
And now I'm out,
See you later
I see your fantasy, you wanna make it a reality paved in gold,
See inside, inside of our heads yeah, well now that's over,
I see your motives inside, decisions to hide
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong, headstrong, we're headstrong
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong, and this is not where you belong
I can't give everything away
I won't give everything away"
"Do you think they're fighting?" Marta asks glancing above her shoulder to the big stone building of Horace Green.
"Are you kidding? This is Freddy and Summer we're talking about! Of course they're fighting! " Eleni answers in a matter-of-fact tone.
I look at my friends and back-up singer mates and nod. Everyone who attends Horace Green knows Spazz, the Pretty Blonde Devil and Tink, the Little Miss Perfect don't get along. It's not like they hate each other to death, they just don't get along. They can't go past their differences and that makes them argue occasionally. It's been a while since the last time they had an argument though… hmmm odd, very odd.
"Aren't you coming Summer?"
Summer turns her head to look at me and smiles softly.
"Not yet Tomika… I've got stuff to do here… I'll catch you guys later at band practise!"
I smirk back as I watch her lean against the door frame. Everybody else has left by now, except Freddy who is still packing his books on his bag.
"Ok… see you later then!"
"Bye…"
"I wonder what's going on… did you notice the whole exchanging glances thing during class?" I ask.
"It was impossible not to notice! They were staring at each other for ages, it seemed like they were competing or something!" Eleni says.
"Who's competing?" a male voice asks behind me.
Frank, Marco and Billy smile at us as they join us on our way home.
"Freddy and Summer." I say "They've been staring at each other in classes."
"Yeah I know… weird isn't it? They used to yell at each other until they were voiceless and now they just glare… quite a dramatic change!" Marco states, looking at each one of us.
Frank yawns and rubs his eyes.
"Well maybe something happened… "
"What?" I ask.
Frank shrugs and looks at me.
"I don't know, maybe they just…"
"Honestly people! Can't you see it?" Billy says impatiently cutting off Frank "They're in love! It's so obvious! Only they refuse to admit it! Freddy and Summer might be just as different as night and day but they do have one thing in common: they're both proud and headstrong! Admitting their feelings would be one big stab on their pride so it's easier to pretend they hate each other!"
The rest of the boys burst out laughing while me, Marta and Eleni look at Billy in pure astonishment.
"So you're saying Summer and Freddy like each other but they're in denial…" Marta starts looking a bit unsure "Actually it kind of makes sense."
I nod in agreement. Billy might be right…
"Come on Billy! That's ridiculous! Freddy and Summer in love ? Are you stoned or what ?"
Billy glares at Eleni and crosses his arms to his chest.
"If you don't believe it I can only say you're an insensitive, thick creature!"
"Hey! Watch out your language Fancy Pants!"
As Billy and Eleni start bickering about manners and sensibility, I look down, Billy's words replaying in my mind. If they really are in love and don't want to admit it maybe we could help them a little. You know just give them a push… but how? If they ever find out we were playing matchmaker they'd go ballistic and possibly never talk to us as long as they lived! I've got to come up with something but I can't do this alone.
"Guys, listen up!" I say raising my voice to get their attention and interrupt Eleni and Billy who are still rowing "I got an idea to hook up Freddy and Summer!"
