Chapter 3
(The Real World!)
The next morning everybody was busy doing their own thing. Katie was in the kitchen making breakfast, Freddy and Zack were quietly watching tv, Billy was reading a fashion design book, Summer was reading the morning paper, Marta was dying a purple streak in her long blonde hair to go with her new punk look she was trying to go for, and Kassidy was in the phone room talking to her boyfriend Adam, with the door shut so nobody could hear her.
"They all seem different to me...I dunno, maybe its just me."Kassidy said
"I think its just you. Well if you need anything just call, ok?"Adam reminded her
"Really I can call you? I totally missed it the first 47 times you said it."Kassidy said with sarcasm in her voice.
Adam waited a second before responding to the remark.
"I'm serious! The boys are coming over to hang out, so i'll talk to you later?"
Kassidy spaced out and wasnt listening.
"Hello Kassidy...Kassidy Hello!"
"What? Oh um, ok i'll talk to you later! Love you Adam."
"Love you too Kassidy. Bye!"Adam said before hanging up.
Kassidy hung up the phone and seconds later the phone rang again.
"Hi! Kassidy here. Who's this?
"Kassidy this is Courtney from MTV productions. I am to tell you and the other real worlders about the job you will have for the 6 months you will be here for The Real World Series."Courtney explained.
"Guys come here."Kassidy yelled
Kassidy put the phone on speaker phone so everyone could hear as they filed into the room.
"Go on Courtney were all here now."
"Ok this year we picked a new job for the cast to have and we think you guys might enjoy it. The seven of you will be running a cafe' called Karens Cafe'. You will be in charge of the entertainment, which means you guys can play if you want. Some will work the register, some will be waiters and some will be in the back."
All of the band smiled all around the room agreeing they liked the idea.
"Tomorrow you will get you your papers with your responsibilities and everything on them."Courtney continued, "Alright well i've done my job so see you tomorrow Bye."
"Bye."They all said in unision.
Katie went back to making her breakfast of eggs and toast, Freddy and Zack went back to watching Viva La Bam, and so on.
When Katie was finished with her breakfast, she plopped down on the couch next to Freddy, still in her Pj's.
"Hey Freddy."
"Hi."
There was an awkward silence. . . . .
"Freddy you remember when we went to the 8th grade dance together?"Katie asked
"Yeah and we got into that fight because I kept stepping on you feet and then you spilt punch down Michelle's dress because she wouldnt stop obbsessing ove how horrible she thought your dress was."
"Yeah and when I got kicked out you went with me and cheered me up by telling me you loved my dress and it looked perfect on me."Katie finished off
Freddy leaned back staring at the sealing, day dreaming and remembering those good times with Katie and the band.
"Those were the days. You remember the time before we started going out you beat up my girlfriend at the time. What was her name? Oh Allysa, yeah you beat her up in front of me and then looked at me and said, Freddy I want you."Freddy said with a big smile on his face
Katie couldn't help but turn red of embarrassment.
Marta walked into the room and took herself a seat on the couch to.
"I couldn't help but listen to you two's little stroll down memory lane. Do you guys remember when Summer finally asked Zack out and that day she ended up in the hospital sick and Zack would not leave her side for nothing."Marta said
"Yeah he stayed there with Summer for four days, not leaving at all."Katie said
"I wish things were still the same."Marta smiled
Zack was listening in now that he heaered his name and Summers in the same sentence. Soon enough everybody was crowded together on the couch all bringing up their own memory.
"After the band broke up I was cheerleader and so I knew all the gossip around, so I have to ask. Katie I heared when we were in tenth grade that you used to cut yourself. Is that true?"Marta asked
Katie had to restrain herself and think of how she wanted everyone to find, she could just tell them now and get it over with or lie about it.
"Well. . .I, I...Oh alright yes I was a cutter. But i'm not anymore I swear! I got help and went to a therapist. My parents found out and sent me to an institution, thats why I was gone for a month an a half. If any of ya'll even noticed."
"Trust us we noticed."Summer said sempathetic
Summer had a question she wanted to ask Marta but she wasnt sure she wanted to ask it now that she seen how hard it was for Katie. But Summer had to know, so she asked anyway.
"Well since you asked Katie we have to know, is it true you had an eating disorder? Cause we all heared you were bulemic or something."Summer asked
Marts didnt hesitate, she figured they were going to ask and she wanted them to know.
"It's something to that affect I just stopped eating altogether, because my mom told me I was getting fat."Marta told them.
Everybody shared the same sad glances around the room, nobody really knew what to say to Katie or Marta.
"To get off the sad subjects lets talk about what were gonna do tonight. Lets go out or do something."Kassidy suggested
Everybody's sad faces were now happy as they all started suggesting what they could do that night.
"Lets go to a club?"
"lets go out to a bar?"
"Lets go dancing."
Freddy, Katie, and Marta said at the same time.
"Alright everyone for going to a club or bar raise your hand."Summer said taking charge, like in the old days.
Everyone raised their hands and agreed to go to a club called "The Bait Shop!"
The Bait Shop was a popular hang out were you could chill, drink, and dance to live band music. That night Phantom Planet happened to be playing at the club.
Everybody did their own things while waiting for the night to approach.
When everyone noticed Marta getting ready they knew they better start getting ready too.
Katie got dressed in a pair of kinda tight jeans with a cute shirt that clung to her in all the right places that said "Ban broken hearts. . .Kiss a stranger." She pulled on her pink and black etnies, then pulled her long hair up into a pony-tail.
Marta put on a blue skirt that flarred out with a white tank top that said, "Party Animal!" She grabbed her baby blue sandles, then pulled her long blonde hair up, but left the purple streak hanging down on the side.
Summer wore a silky black dress that came exactly three inches above her knees with her lacey black heels. She let her raven black hair flow down her back.
Kassidy wore a wife beater that she had air-brushed with the word "Punk" in black letters across the front, with her crinkled tie up capri's that are about three inches below her knees. (very cute and punk at the same time by the way!) She then put on her black and white audios and left her hair down.
Freddy wore baggy khaki pants with "Green Day, American Idiot!" shirt with his etnies, then he gelled his hair to spike up.
Zack wore not to baggy jeans with a black shirt that said, "The Ramones." On it in big white letters with his audios, he fixed his hair all shaggy and messy like the old days.
And last but not least Billy wore slacks with a dressy hawain shirt, with black dressy dance shoes, and he had Freddy spike his hair up like his.
(LOL! NOT SURE HOW HIS HAIR TURNED OUT!)
When Freddy finished Billy's hair everyone else was ready and waiting.
Billy slid out of the bath room like tom cruise and yelled in his girly voice,
"Lets party girlies and guys."
All filed out the door to the van they were given to drive around in.
0o0o0
When they arrived at the club they got in line and waited for the bouncer to let them in. They waited in line for almost 20 minutes when Freddy walked up to the big guy who he was sure was the bouncer.
"Excuse me. . .When can me and my friends get into the club?"Freddy asked
"Get back in line son or you'll never get in."The big guy with hug muscles said.
"Get back in line? Don't you know who we are?"
"No! Who are you? I dont think your any body special, so get back in line before you ruin your chance of getting in."The guy said
Freddy looked at him like he was crazy.
"We are the band, School of Rock, and we want in."Freddy said not moving a step.
At first the guy looked like he was gonna knock Freddy out, then his expression change.
"Oh my goodness are you serious...Can I get your guys autograph for my daughter, she loves you guys."The big guy asked
"Tell you what, we give you and autograph, you let us in, and we wont tell your boss about any of this."Freddy suggested to the bouncer.
All of the band had smiles on their faces trying not to crack up.
So they all signed a shirt for the guy's daughter and he let them all in.
They found a table that fit all seven of them.
"Who wants something to drink?"Freddy asked, "I'm paying first round."
"I'll have a marteni...Non virgin."Katie said
"I'll have a rattle snake mixer."Marta told him
Zack got up and said, "I'll come with you."
"Anybody else?"Freddy asked
"Oh i'll have a bicardi silver."Kassidy told him
"And me I want a pepsi and rum."Summer added.
Freddy figured Billy would get his own drink because he had already seperated from the group dancing with another guy, so Freddy and Zack went over to the bar to order all the drinks.
While the boys were gone getting the drinks, Marta walked over to Billy and his guy friend who were dancing.
"Hiya Billy. Who's this?"Marta asked
"Marta this is my friend Richard. Richard this is my other friend Marta."
"Hi!"Richard and Marta said in unision
"Well i'll let you two get back to dancing. See ya'."Marta said before she left the two she turned and whispered in Billy's ear, "Richards a cutie!"
Billy shook his head and went back to dancing with Richard.
Marta took her seat next to Katie, who was talking to Summer about a new song she wrote called, "One hand in my pocket."
"I'll show you the song tomorrow."Katie told her.
"Ok!"Summer said
Freddy handed Katie and Kassidy their drinks and took a sip of his.
Zack gave Marta and Summer their drinks and sat down next to Freddy.
"Now what did I hear about a new song."Freddy asked Katie settign his drink down.
"I ws telling Summer about a new song I wrote. It's no big deal."
"Yes it is! You remember how Courtney said we could play at the Cafe', well me and Freddy were talking and we thought it would be cool if we all wrote a couple songs and played them at the cafe'!"Zack told them sitting there waiting for everyones reactions.
"I like it."Summer said
"I like it too. I wrote a couple songs of my own, called "You live you learn" and "It's all your fault."Kassidy agrees
"Sounds cool."Katie said unsure of herself.
Katie, Freddy and Marta went out to the dance floor all dancing together with Billy and Richard. Zack wouldn't dance unless Summer danced so naturally neither of them danced. Freddy and Billy had to carry Zack out to the car when it was time to go, because insted of dancing the Zack Attack drunk himself to sleep.
He passed out on Marta in the car.
Freddy slapped him three times to bring him back to them. Then helped Zack wabble inside and to his bed.
"He's gonna have a hell of a hang-over in the morning."Freddy said
"Yep...Well i'm tired so i'm going to bed.
Night guys."Katie said waving to everyone
"I'm certainly following her lead. Nighty Night gurlies, Night Freddy."Billy said
Everybody went to bed at about the same time but Freddy he slipped into a hot shower first then slipped on boxers and crawled into his bed.
He saw Katie turn over when he walked in the room.
"Good-night Katie."Freddy said in a sleepy tone
"Night."She said half asleep.
Kassidy happened to be awake to but didnt say anything, she didnt wanna ruin the happy little moment between Katie and her precious Freddy.
