"Okay, now we will pull out of the hat to see who gets to do the dedication when we go out there, this means that you can dedicate the next song to whoever you want." Dewey explained, backstage. All the members stood backstage, fingers crossed, except Freddy and Zack, who wouldn't be caught dead looking that eager, even though they really wanted it.
"Okay, and the lucky person is…," Dewey paused, and slowly picked a piece of paper, "Freddy! Now when we go out there pick any person in the world to dedicate this to. Okay everybody, lets rock!" They all ran onstage, with the exception of Summer, and the backstage crew.
With everybody in in positions, Freddy walked to the microphone. All the girls in the school looked up adoringly at him.
"Okay I would like to dedicate this song to our band manager, and my girlfriend, Summer Hathaway!" With that he ran over to his drum set. The band looked at him in surprise? Did he just say girlfriend. The thought, they're going out, why didn't they tell us, was running through all of their heads. Summer squealed in happiness. Girls in the crowd whispered things like, Summer Hathaway, why her, why not me! Or Aw, Summer is so sweet, they are such a cute couple! Or something along those lines. Guys in the crowd murmured sounds of disappointment.
The band started playing School of Rock, their signature song, which was a sign that the dance was almost over, that they were playing their last song. Summer, feeling a bit parched, went to get some more punch. She was filling her punch cup when Khris D'angelo came up to her. He was one of the hottest guys in the school, one of the biggest flirts too, but he was genuinely nice, everyone knew that.
"Hey Summer, wow you're looking pretty hot today." Khris commented, while wiggling his eyebrows comically. Summer laughed.
"Uh thanks, Khris, what's up?" Summer questioned.
"Nothing, this band is pretty good, it's amazing that you manage it, that must be such a tough job."
"Well maybe for some people, at the moment things are slow, so its not really hard right now, come summer time though, I think it will get much harder, as things usually do."
"Cool. So I heard your going out with Jones. I never knew you liked him. A few months ago people used to tell me you liked me." Khris said with a smile. Yes, it was true, she liked him before she liked Freddy. But he had never even gave her the time of day before, why was he suddenly talking to her?
"Uh yeah I guess i did. But then I started liking Freddy and he asked me out." Summer answered, with a blush.
"Too bad, because you know, you really are something." Khris said with a sigh as he walked away. What was that about, Summer wondered. Wait! Did he just flirt with me? Woah something wierd is happening!
Summer started smiling when she heard Freddy's drum solo. The song was almost over, which means the dance will end in approximatly two minutes, giving time for everyone to get out.
"I wonder what we will do after this? I wonder if we are even doing anything after this." Summer said silently aloud.
Meanwhile, Khris sauntered over to his friends. They were snickering, and slapping hands.
"Guys, this bet is going to be soooo easy! Taking Summer away from Freddy, and making her fall in love with me...this is just too easy." Kyle smirked.
"Dude, I didn't think you hated Freddy this much! Taking his girl away, dude, that is so harsh. Do you really think you'll be able to do it? Is it worth maybe losing 50 bucks?" His friend Kyle said.
"Yes, it is. You don't know how much I hate Freddy Jones." Kyle replied, then turning and walking out the door but not before flashing Summer a dazzaling smile. Which she replied to with a blush.
Freddy had seen Kyle and Summer talking, seen Kyle flirting outrageously with her. He knew the Summer used to have a crush on him, and this made Freddy's heart pound. Kyle hated him, ever since 8th grade, when Alicia broke up with him because she liked Freddy. Nothing ever happened between the two of them, Freddy just wasn't interested in her, and eventually she got over him. But Kyle was convinced that Freddy made her break up with him, even though he didn't, and he was jealous of the attention Alicia gave Freddy. Also, Kyle had never been broken up with, and rumor has it that he really like Alicia a lot. Ever since then Kyle has hated him. Freddy wasn't going to let this asshole take Summer away from him. How do I have such powerful feelings about her, when just yesterday, even a few hours ago, I thought I could never like her? Freddy wondered to himself. As soon as they were finished he made his way over to her.
"Freddy, wow you were like, soooo good," giggled the head cheerleader Gina Fredricks.
"Thanks." Freddy replied getting bored, he wanted to find Summer. Gina Fredricks had liked him since 5th grade, they actually went out once, right before the band got together, then he learned the error of his ways once the band was formed.
"Like, Freddy, I was like, thinking, if we got married, your name would be like, Freddy Fredricks. Like, isn't that such a coincidence?" Gina pondered, as you can see shes as dumb as a doornail. Freddy sighed.
"Gina, if we got married your name would be Gina Jones, you know, because the girl takes the guys last name. God. But trust me we will never get married." Freddy said, and then walked away. He heard her whisper to her friends, obviously what he said had confused her about the girl taking the guys last name. Then he heard her say, he like, wants me, he just won't like,admit it because he like, has a girlfriend. Finally Freddy spotted Summer. He came up behind her and picked her up.
"Freddy Jones! Put me down this instant!" Summer squealed. Freddy set her down, and put his arms on her waist, pulling her in for a slow, passionate kiss. Summer giggled when they finished.
"I've never been kissed like that before Freddy." Freddy was suprised but not suprised at the same time, he was suprised because she was such a good kisser, he wasn't suprised because it was Summer, their responsible, tiny Summer, who didn't have enough time to go out on dates, or have a boyfriend.
"Well Summer, trust me there will be plenty more where that came from." Freddy said, flashing her a devilish smile.
"At least I hope..." he continued. Summer looked down while blushing. She hoped so too...
