Disclaimer: I'll think of something to say later.
Marta walked down the stairs in a hurry, swim practice was over and band practice started in twenty minutes. She had to meet Lawrence by front stoop in five; Ned would be picking them up in the mini bus with their logo on it. She began running when she crashed into someone.
BANG!
"Oww!" She said at the figure.
"Watch where you're going Blondie?" Marta looked up to see Freddy in front of her getting up and not bothering to see if she was okay. He began walking away in the opposite direction.
"Asshole," she mumbled to herself and she continued down the hall.
Freddy and Marta were not always this rude to each other. There was once a time when they adored each other. Then one day it happened and their entire world were split into two. They try to be pleasant toward one another but it does not always work out the way it was suppose to.
She huffed and as she fumbled in her bag for her cell. Marta didn't want to walk all the way to Dewey's, especially after swim practice she was worn out.
When she finally got out the she saw Lawrence chilling on the stoop listening to his MP3.
"Hey Cool what shaking," Marta said as she took the head phones off his head and sat down.
"Hey," he said with one of his glamorous smiles.
"How was your day?"
"Fine...and how was yours?"
"Good until I bumped into Freddy and he looked upset." Marta looked down and Lawrence turned her face toward him.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"No...I think I'll be okay."
"What about Fred will he be alright?"
"I don't know, he's seeing a therapist." she immediately covered her mouth fearing she had already said too much.
"What for?" He said looking in my eyes.
"Promise you won't tell a soul,"
"Yeah, Marta I swear." he said rarely using her bona fide name.
"Pinky swear?"
"Pinky swear." He repeated connecting pinky's with Marta.
"It all started when...
"Katie please hurry up the bus is going to leave us!" Summer yelled into the auditorium door waiting for her friend while randomly saying 'hi' to people passing by.
"Keep your skirt on I'm coming!" Katie responded leaving exiting to the halls.
"Let's go," geared Summer as she grabbed Katie's wrist.
No sooner that she had done that, Summer laid her eyes on the most harmonious site her young pupils had ever witnessed.
"It's Zack...Katie what do I do?" Summer whispered as he came down the ramp toward them.
"How about say hi, but please act normal." Katie said pushing her in his path.
"Hi...I mean...hey...Zack," Summer waved her hand and looked to Katie for help.
"Um...hi Summer. Look I have something to do-" Before he could finish the rest Summer cut in.
"Can I come?"
"No."
"I could carry your book bag." She said reaching for his bag and tried to take it.
"No that's okay I got it," he said back as they go tugging the bag back and forth until everything fell out.
"Dammit...Summer," He said and went to pick up his books the same time she did and their heads collided.
"Sorry!" She said attempting to touch his head but he jerked away.
"You know what just forget it I got it," he said stuffing the remainder of his papers in his bag and getting away from Summer as fast as he could.
Summer turned to see Katie on the ground in tears from laughing.
"Don't say a word Brown," as she huffed down the hall.
"Personally I thought it went well." Katie said putting her arm around Summer and cracking a smile.
"Shut up!" Summer screamed fuming to her ears and Katie exploded laughing...
"So how do I look?" Eleni asked Billy while readjusting her uniform for the tenth time in the last five minutes.
"You looked fine at 7:45 this morning and you look fine now. Can we go already?"
Eleni and Billy were in the girl's bathroom and she was prepping herself for Frankie. Billy has been hanging out in the girl's bathroom since seventh grade; everyone knew he was not gay but always questioned why he liked it in there so much. He loves being around Eleni; wherever she goes he goes too.
"I'm satisfied, let's roll," she said gather her thing and walked outside and flipped her hair walking outside.
She grabbed Billy by the arm and raced to where Frankie was.
"Enough with the grabbing, people might to start to think your crazy!" Billy sighed rubbing his arm.
"What should I say?"
"You ask him when his last meal was." Billy said laughing.
"You're not helping!" Eleni yelled in a very frustrated manner.
"Just joking around...um...he's into cars, right?"
"Yeah, so?"
"Strike up a conversation about that."
"Billy, what do I know about cars?"
"Absolutely nothing, but your dad owns that warehouse, right?"
"Yeah," she said now catching on.
"Waltz over there and act like the biggest car obsessed freak in the world...besides him." He said giving her a small push.
"Just back me up...in case I need it or something." She said flipping her hair and once again and strutting over to Frankie.
"Hi Frankie...what are you up to?" She said sitting down next to him.
"Nothing," he said continually staring at the magazine.
"Wow, a 1940 Convertible; my favorite!"
"What do you know about cars?" He said now giving her his undivided attention.
"A lot more than you," she said putting her and on her hip.
"If that's so, then Dr. Phil is my uncle!" he mocked her.
"You ever heard of Afflerbach Vehicles?"
"Who hasn't he owns one of the chief car dealerships in the country! Not to mention having the greatest collection of classic cars and their original parts! That man is the god of cars!"
"That man is my father."
"Bull-" Before he could even finish his decree Eleni pulled out her billfold and shoved a picture of her and her father in his face.
"Oh my...that's John William Afflerbach. He's your father!"
"I could arrange a meeting for you two and even have him give you a grand tour of one of our ware houses." She said with a seductive smile on her face.
"Cool when?"
"This weekend." She said jotting her number on a piece of paper, and he nodded.
"Later," she said walking to the bus as it pulled up.
"Billy, did you see that?" she said excitedly as she jumped up and down.
"Um...yeah." Billy replied in a nonchalant tone.
"Well, aren't you happy for me you big sour puss?" Sheasked plopping down in a seat next to him.
"Ecstatic," he sighed exhaling deeply...
The group arrived at practice in no time. Everyone filled out the bus, into the building and to their respective work stations. Alicia walked up the flight of stair while logging heavy bags. She huffed, pulled one bag on her shoulder, and lost her balance.
"Ahh!" She screamed and fell backwards.
She didn't make contact with the floor but with someone else, Alicia looked up to see she was in the arms of Gordon.
"Nice of you to drop in, are you okay?" He said helping her back in an up right position.
"Yeah, thank you."
He smiled and then realized that she was holding what looked like three heavy bags.
"Wow! Those look heavy let me help you," he said releasing her of the surplus weight.
"Thanks," she said as they continued the flights of stairs.
"So why aren't you down stairs?" Alicia said breaking the silence.
"Dewey wanted ask me something," he opening the door to the room where the band practiced.
"Okay," glancing at him once more then departing.
Gordon set the bags down and talked to Dewey for a minute and then exiting out the room.
"Alright, lets rock!" Dewey said strapping up his guitar.
"Now first we'll play Zack's song, Katie's, Marta's, Alicia's, Tomika's, and then Freddy's." Summer said as snickers emerged throughout the room.
"Why do we always play his songs first," Freddy said clearly upset.
"Because I'm band manager and whatever I say goes...now practice," Summer fumed daring anyoneelse to rebel against her.
"1, 2, ah 1, 2, 3 and..." Dewey began the count as they started rocking out for the night.
Around eight practice was over and everyone's parents were there to pick them up to go home.
DONE! Hope you're happy and please REVIEW!
