Chapter Nineteen: New Looks For The New Lifestyle
"Hello, girls. What can I do for you?" A pink-haired stylist asked us.
"We want to be made over. completely." I said, looking down at my hair. Black, Red streaks, Blonde chunks here and there...long.
"We can do that. Hey wait, you guys are from School of Rock..that new indie rock band, right?" She asked.
"We're more on the rock side, but yeah. We are!"
"And you're Pete Wentz!" She gasped.
"Hi." Pete said sheepishly.
"Can I have your guy's autograph? Then we can start." Pink-haired girl said, her eyes widening.
"Sure." Summer, Pete, and I said in unison.
We signed a big board, then Summer and I were seperated, sitting in barber chairs. Then came in a Red streaked/black haired girl.
"Hi, my name is Stacee and I'll be improving your look." She said happily. (Ya'll saw it coming, I had to make a cameo!!!)
"Cool. So, what are you gonna do?" I asked.
"I have an idea in mind. Just sit back and relax. You have beautiful hair." She started to spray it with water, then began to cut it...well, only about an inch. I watched as my hair fell to the floor. Pretty soon Stacee was finished, and she got out a bottle of dye, a bowl, and black dye. She mixed a orange-like dye into the bowl, and then massaged it into my head. After about 45 minutes, she washed it out, and she put small lo-lights of black, barely even visible, into my hair.
"Okay darling, we're done!" Stacee said as she finished styling my hair. She turned me around, and I gasped. I did look...HOT!
"OH MY GOD! Thanks so much!" I smiled.
"No problem, anything for a rockstar." She replied, washing her hands.
"I believe your friend is done. But first, can I get a picture of you and your new look for our website?" She asked.
"Oh, sure."
I posed for the camera and she took the picture and uploaded it to the nearest computer and instantly added it to the stylists' website. I walked out into the hallway, and I saw Summer.
"OH MY GOD!" We both exclaimed.
"They chopped it off!" Summer said, touching the ends of my hair.
"Only like two inches!" I laughed.
"And they..whoa...to yours!" I was kind of shocked. Summer Nicole Hathaway..a BLONDE! And to top it off there was a hot pink streak and a couple of black ones, too! My God, they made her look so..different!
"Now, let's go clothes shopping!" I said, toying with my new hairstyle.
"Are you guys really Katie Brown and Summer Hathaway?" Pete asked us, laughing.
"Yes sir!" I laughed.
We went to this place called "Dragonfly", and it had a lot of different designs..let alone designers in the store. We shopped for hours and went home.
"Thanks Pete!" Summer yelled over her shoulder.
"No problem...Just be on time tomorrow!" He replied.
"For what?"
Summer and I turned around, confused looks on our faces. What was tomorrow?
"Autograph signing...did you guys forget?"
We did forget...like..a week ago it was set and dated, but now, Senior Moments for Summer and I!!!
"Oh yeah, we'll be on time!" I said and we walked in the house. Zack and Freddy were playing Guitar Hero II, and of course, Freddy was losing!
"Hey guys, we're home!" Summer called over one of Nirvana's songs.
"Hi Sum...OH MY GOD!" Zack almost broke the plastic guitar! He ran over to Summer, in her new outfit, new hair, she was a new person.
"Katie? No way!" Zack gasped.
Freddy turned around and smiled. He ran over to me and hugged me, lifting me up in the process. I haven't felt this happy since... I don't know when. We finally got a record deal, an album out, and we're all still together...except for Lawrence, Marta, Alicia, and Tomika. I felt a hollow place in my heart for them. How could they betray as the way they did? But in another place in my heart, I still loved them. Back to this moment.
"You look beautiful, Katie." Freddy whispered in my ear.
"Thank you." I smiled as he let go.
"Now, I'm going to beat Zack at this Guitar Hero!" I laughed as I picked up Freddy's guitar. Zack walked over from Summer.
"Bring it, sister." He joked.
"It's already been broughten!" I laughed, pondering if "broughten" was even a word. As we were playing, I had an idea for a song. I wrote it in my head and I kept playing. Two hours later I finally won! HA! I beat Zachary Joseph Mooneyham!!!
"Ooooooohhh! I beat you!" I jumped up and down.
"Hey guys...LISTEN TO THIS!" Freddy turned up the radio.
"Hey Los Angeles, this is a new track from this new band School of Rock called 'Someone Else'. This band is a bunch of 15 year old kids and they amaze me. Big props to bass girl Katie Brown for taking a solo on this song. Here you go Los Angeles!"
I heard the beginning of Zack's famous distorted guitar from that song. It took two days to record that song. Then I heard keyboards, Summer's handywork, then the famous "Meg White" bass drum kick. It was a steady thump thump thump thump. Then I came, bass and vocals.
The day's down to the wire
And my heart's on fire
Now we're back home
And I wanna go back
To where we came
(To where we came)
Start over and be someone else
(Start over and be someone else)
And not be me for awhile
"WE DID IT!!!" Summer danced to the beat as I did. Zack and Freddy hi-fived and we all started hugging.
Let's come together
Let's be who we were again
Let's come together
And forget the arguements
Forget the pain
Just for awhile
(Just for awhile)
The hours are ticking
And we're heading back to LA
I wanna go home
Start over again
Be someone else
And not me for awhile
(But you don't get what you wish for)
Clear the anger
And open my mind
Let's rock out again
Like we used to
Let's come together
Let's be who we were again
Let's come together
And forget the arguements
Forget the pain
Just for awhile
(Just for awhile)
"Omigod Summer! You look beautiful!" a girl said at the CD signing.
"Thanks hun, what's your name?"
"Vanessa."
"Here ya go Vanessa. Rock on!" Summer smiled and handed back the CD.
"Katie, is it true that you and Freddy got married?" A boy asked me while I was signing his CD and poster.
"Don't believe everything you hear! Especially around here." I laughed.
"Here you go."
FINALLY someone who wanted all four of us to sign a CD! No more favorites! We passed the CD around, signing our own silhouettes on the booklet. Then the girl wanted a picture. We told her to get behind the table and sit between Zack and Freddy. She almost fainted!!! Her mom snapped the picture and she hugged as all.
After the signing, we went out to lunch at Cafe Sushi. (sound familiar??lol)
"I'll have the sashimi platter." Zack ordered.
"I'll have the ginger snap sushi." I added.
"Same here." Summer said.
"I'll have the California Roll." Freddy added.
The waiter left, and we talked about the album, the tour, everything. We ate, and then we went home. Our song playing again. Can my life get any better?
