Chapter Fourteen: Los Angeles Means Shopping
Panic! left our school...after a billion teenies asked for their autographes and stuff. As the day went on, people wouldn't stop staring at us. Summer, Freddy, Zack, and I even were SIGNING autographs...A first for us! Marta found us at lunch and congratulated us.
"You know you guys are flying out to L.A., right?" Marta asked us, smiling.
"WHAT?" We exclaimed.
"Yeah! But I made them promise to take you guys after the musical. I know how bad you guys want to do it!"
"Good, Marta! Have a cookie!" Zack joked, and Summer embraced her in a hug.
Los Angeles? I was about to faint. I looked at Freddy and I just smiled. Smiled because our dream of hitting it big was finally coming true after all those years of struggling. I missed my parents and my sister the most. I wanted them to be there with me, to share my triumph. But noooo, they were somewhere in New Jersey right now.
The bell rang for third block to start, Freddy, Marta, and Zack went to Mrs. Donihughs Math class while Summer and I went to Mr. Kim's English class. Someone bumped into my arm and I screamed bloody murder, grabbing my arm which started to bleed. Summer gently took my hand into hers and we walked into the classroom. She let go and we sat in the back of class, as usual.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"Yeah, I'm okay. Someone just bumped into me and bumrushed the scab off. I'm alright."
"Just in case, I have extra bandages for both of us. Mom is making me go to Andrew's Court Hearing, and she told you to go, too. So did the Police, but you were passed out on a gourney, I don't think you heard them say anything to you!" Summer smiled as I did.
"I am going to that Hearing. He deserves to go to jail for good. 25 to li-"
The bell cut me off, and we sat in boredom with our lesson about the book Redwall by Brian Jaques. This was the first time Summer was BORED in CLASS.
"Ms. Brown, I would like you to tell us about your latest success in music!" I heard Mr. Kim chime, and I stood up, making my way to the front of the class. Time to babble on and on and on about our deal to Decaydance. But I decided not to. I talked about the musical, instead.
"Well, as you know, I'm in our school's musical. I'm playing Avril Lavigne...And I hope you enjoy the play when you see it! Mr. Kim, may I be seated now?" I asked.
"Thank you, Ms. Brown." That was my cue to sit down, which I did. I fed Mr. Kim what he wanted, and he seemed to be satisfied. Someone passed a note addressed to Summer and I. We looked at each other, and we opened it.
Dear Katie and Summer,
You think you're both so perfect with your record deal and you think you're both sooo pretty with your long punked-out hair. We're happy for you two brats! It was cool working with you! We're sooo proud!
Love with infinate X's and O's...
Alicia and Tomika
They always knew how to get us! I was shocked they were happy for us and not jealous. I looked up and they both nodded with happiness. The bell rang, and Summer had that glint of sinister in her eyes.
"We're going to L.A., right?"
I nodded, tilting my head a little, squinting my eyes.
"Well, text Fredster and Zacky-poo! You and I are going shopping and they can't bother us!"
I laughed and texted Freddy while heading out of the front doors of the school.
Freddy...sry...girlz day a/ mall...meet you at band practice...xoxo, K.B.
"Alright, let's go!" I shouted and we walked to Summer's house first. To change, to drop off our stuff, and to grab Summer's wallet!
We reached the door and Summer's mom greeted us.
"How are you holding up, Katelyn?" She asked, using my full name.
"I'm okay. Did Summer tell you our good news?"
"Tell me what good news?" She looked at Summer, almost angry.
"Nothing to worry about Mom, the band FINALLY got a record deal! With," She got up from a chair she was sitting in, "Decaydance...the record label Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy owns!"
With that, Summer's mom embraced us both, and started to cry out of joy.
"I'm so proud of you both!" She smelled of Chamomile tea and Orange Mandarin Spritz from Bath and Body Works.
"Thank you! We're leaving in a month. We're going shopping to get some stuff for our trip at the mall." Summer said as we both broke away.
"Come on, Katez!"
We climbed up the stairs and went to her hot pink bedroom. She and I quickly changed, thank God I had spare clothes at her house. I redid my eyeliner and Summer applied more silver/gray glitter like eye shadow. She grabbed her wallet and her Roxy purse.
"Let's go."
"I refuse to go into that...store." I pointed at Abercrombie. "No way."
"Okay then, wait outside!" Summer skipped into the store, and my Sidekick buzzed in my messenger bag. It was Zack.
Practice time moved to 6:30 instead of 5:30.
I shifted my weight onto my right side, the one not carrying all of the bags, and I typed back: cool...see ya then.
A few minutes later, Summer came out with two small bags and we looked at each other and laughed.
"Let's go to Pac Sun! I need new luggage!" I cried.
"Awesome, let's go!"
We walked into Pac Sun and blasting through the speakers was Oasis' song "Wonderwall", the best song on the face of the earth.
"Today's gonna be the day they bring it all back to you..." I sang.
I looked at some Volcom bags, and I found the perfect one.
(Here's the link...just hi-light and put it in the nav-bar:http://shop. brought it to the counter, and Summer put hers next to mine. Of course it was Pink and ROXY!
(Here's the link...same deal:http://shop. left the mall and we walked all the way to my house to drop off my stuff, get my bass, and then to go Summer's house, drop off her stuff, then go to School of Rock for practice.
"Hold on, my Sidekick's buzzing."
It said "Mom" on the receiver end, so I put my Sidekick into Phone mode instead of IM mode.
"Hello?"
"Honey, there's something I need to tell you."
I wasn't prepard for what I was about to hear.
