Don't Let It Go To Your Head

Is there such thing as that special boy? The type of boy that takes your breath away everytime you see him? The boy you can't live without? The boy who doesn't know your true feelings. There is such a boy for Katie Brown. His name is Freddy Jones.

8. Chapter 8

It was a total coincidence that Katie and Freddy arrived at band practice at the same time. When Katie saw him get out the car, she could of died on the spot. It had only been 4 hours since she had seen him kiss another girl, right in front of her. She took a deep breath and opened the door. Tonight was going to take all the strength she had.

Freddy saw Katie rise out of the car, and walk, head held high, into band practice. He knew everyone in that room knew what had happened. It had been all over school the whole day. He was going to be the most hated person in the band, probably the whole school because everyone loved Katie. Tonight's practice, and showing of songs was going to be tough. But he was going to do it.

Dewey started practice as soon as everyone was inside. "Alright, we're going to get started. As you know, tonight is the night we showcase our songs. Who wants to go first?"

It went like this, most of the songs were bubblegum stuff that everyone had heard before. With the exception of some HARD rock songs, nothing had really stood out to Dewey, until Katie raised her hand and played her song.

Dewey had heard about what happened, and wasn't expecting a song that great to come out of it. He expected a bitter, cynical song about how much she hated the world. But what came from Katie was a song from the heart, showcasing every emotion she felt inside of her. And it worked.

Dewey felt that this was the song, they were going to perform until Freddy stepped up and sang his song.

This song was different from Katie's, but it showcased the same emotion, sadness. Freddy's song was about regret, about losing the "best he ever had" and that he knew he couldn't get it back. It was a great song, and Dewey loved it. Choosing between those two songs was going to be tough.

"Okay, dudes. I've decided. The two songs that we're going to use were written by Freddy Jones, and Katie Brown. I want you two to come and see me after practice is done. And tomorrow, come complete w/ music so the band can learn how to play."

This was going to be great, Katie thought. Performing the song that she wrote about Freddy, while they were also performing the song he wrote about her. It was going to be a big mess. And Katie didn't know if she could do it. No one knew what was in store for the band, especially under these circumstances, but it was going to be a bumpy road.
