Chapter 5

"Ewwww!" Cody wasn't sure why that popped out of her mouth, but she found herself screaming it right in Megan's face. Megan backed off.

"What?" she spat.

"Me and Seb? That's...that's just wrong."

"Oh really? Then why are you the only one who knows about his 'garage band'?" Squib snarled.

"He does have one, I swear!" I'm just digging myself a bigger hole here. Just tell them the truth. Oh, but it's too late for that.

"Ohhhh yes."

"No!" Cody screeched. The other three turned to her in surprise. "I mean uh...are you really sure that's a good idea, cause you know..." she trailed off hopelessly.
