EXTRAORDINARY WAY
CHAPTER 15
Summer and I met right after our classes and head to towards the Council Room. Today they had a debate about heath issues regarding our Refectory. It was kind of funny to watch, actually it was really funny. Summer kept her poker face on, but I can tell that Irvin, the P.R.O. of the group, really irked her. By the end of the meeting I was able to contact Nancy and remind her again about the papers she needs to pass.
Katie met us on the way to Dewey's apartment. She was buying the snacks today which meant Pizza or Doughnuts. Today it was Pizza the Band wanted.
"So, how'd it go?" Katie asked in a cheery voice.
"Frustrating." Said summer who kept her eyes ahead and her hands shoved on her coat pocket.
"Aww come on Summer, it wasn't that bad, you totally proved your point to everyone. Irvin just got a big mouth." I persuaded. The three of us entered the room as Summer stomp towards the kitchen.
"Exactly! I hate his guts. And Peter was ushering him and his expensive idea! Ugh! I swear if we run out of Fund, I will knock their heads together." She grunted as she hang her coat and sat on the working table with Gordon. Every one noticed Summer's irritation but forgot about it the instant Katie opened the pizza box.
"Summer, quit your yapping and just focus on our practice today. The glory of music should be able to take your frustration away." Dewey told her but only got a glare from the band manager. Dewey looked at me for explanation; I made a face to tell him to leave it.
"What does this-" Dewey copying my expression. "- mean?" I hit my head.
"It means she's going into epileptic shock." Stated by the chuckling Freddy on his usual place on the couch, Zack and Frankie laughing with him as the two ate their Pizza.
"Oh. . . kinda like this!" Dewey did a funny little strut that made everyone laugh. I hit my head again and chuckled.
"Thanks Jones." I sarcastically said before plopping on the sofa next to the girls. He just chuckled some more. Marta kept twisting my ponytail asking if she could play with my hair or let it down. I was trying my best to refuse but i don't wanna see the girl get upset. Good thing Michelle introduced a new topic to talk about.
"Hey did everyone saw that huge American Blvd poster down at 3rd avenue about the new Black Sabbath tee?" Michel asked everyone. As a new topic emerged, I felt that Summer loosened up a little bit, something I'm thankful for.
"Oh yeah, I soo wanna get that!" Marta screamed.
"I hope they have our size, I don't want anything bigger than XS." Said Eleni as she munch on her pizza.
"Speak for your self. Not everyone is a size zero." Katie commented with a coy smile as she strut her slender yet fully developed figure to the kitchen. Everyone caught what she did and somehow made us linger our gaze on her.
"Yeah." Tomika agreed with a booming voice, Eleni smiled apologetically. My eyes were still on Katie as their conversation carried on. I felt a pang of insecurity at how beautiful that girl is. I mean I knew she was pretty and popular before but i only realized now how sexy she is. Maybe because she wore our skirt a little shorter today or maybe because she isn't wearing a vest. Either way, you could totally see her slender figure.
"How about you Keys?" I turned to look at the sound of my name.
"Yeah?"
"I bet she's a size zero too." Marta cheered, earning me quite a few stares, including Summer.
"Well, I wouldn't say that." I crossed my arms over my stick figure of a body. That's right, i'm thin. That's probably why they assume I'm a size zero. Not because of having a small waist, but because I'm thin. The insecurity bar is rising as I felt some of the guys analyzing me now.
"You really should put your hair down, cause it's very smooth and pretty." The bubbly blonde girl said as she resumed twisting my ponytail. "Billy's gonna castrate you as soon as he gets here." She told me.
"Oh really? I wouldn't mind the challenge. Marta laugh some more.
When Lawrence arrived, the band went into music mode. Once that Billy arrived, Marta blurted out that I refuse to wear my hair in the fashion that he approved. I cringed inwardly as I felt them stare on my back. Today the band was practicing the song they were gonna perform on V-tro. The song was called "Red Tremor" written by Zack and Dewey. They were still in the verge of finishing the song and playing it correctly. But to me they already sounded awesome. Summer and I worked on the miscellaneous things that need to be done. Like transportation, booking, and other managing stuff. By the time the band was in over drive, Summer and I decided to call it a night. I crashed on the sofa feeling kind of dizzy after all the digits I inputted on the computer. I listened, closed eyed as the band finished their song.
"Alright, that's all for today. But I just gotta say, we rocked man!" Dewey exclaimed. "Tomorrow we'll work on the guitar solos alright Zack?" I heard Zack agreed. "And uh, Alicia you should definitely keep those high notes that you did before."
"I told you so." Alicia snapped.
"And Freddy, please tighten up the screws, the sloppy sound doesn't help any of us." Dewey said.
"Got it." Freddy agreed.
"But other than that, we were rockin! Okay, kids. . . you can scurry now." He dismissed. "Cause I'm about to have a bath, with bubbles and those delicious smelling candles." He stated as I felt him walk over to the bathroom.
"Scented candles?" Zack pointed out.
"Yeah that!" Dewey yelled before closing the door. I heard the instrument being placed away and the TV playing. But most importantly I hear a whistle coming closer at me before finally bouncing at the sofa next to me.
"Shh, I think she's sleeping." Somebody whispered. Just then a pillow hit my face and slipped slowly and smoothly against my skin. I opened my eyes to see Freddy staring from the corner of his eye. He was sitting beside me with his hands laced together on his stomach.
"It was me." He smirked his signature smirk. "Will you get mad?" I rolled my eyes at his question and sat properly. The others were already out the door while were still hanging around. Alicia just wave bye before disappearing out the door, Billy following her but not before giving me a "We have an Understanding" Stare. I just blink at him before yawning.
"Yo keys." I turn to see Frankie staring at me. And from the look in his eye, he was in a teasing mood. "You look like crap. Have you been working all day with Summer?" I didn't answer. Zack, who was in the middle of casing his guitar, took at a good look at me. "Tsk, tsk. This is what we're saying. Sum's a power machine. Look at her." Frankie gestured. Summer was currently shouting at the bathroom door, trying to have a Band manager-mentor talk towards Dewey. She looked hot-wired for this stuff, it's almost seven and she's still on work mode. "She's still on-going. Are you sure you can keep up? If you get sick, I would be very sad." He said in his flirty voice, Zack gave him a disapproving look before looking at me and rolling his eyes.
"Gee thanks for the concern Frankie, I'll keep that in mind." I added, uncaring at the moment. Marta came towards me and gave me swift hug.
"Bye bye girlie." She cheered. "See you all tomorrow." And then her blonde hair flowed towards the door. I yawned again.
"Sum, I'll be heading off too." I announced for Summer to hear. The blonde boy beside me stopped from fidgeting and gave me a little push.
"C'mon keyboards! You're not really that tired are you? Cause I really do hope you can prove us wrong." He stated. Summer let go of her phone and gave me an approving look before getting back to whatever she's doing. "Wow, and your asking permission from her if you could go home? That's just stupid." He commented. Trying to irritate me, I presume.
"Ok, bye every one." I announced as I gather my stuff. "Oh but wait, I forgot something." I said loudly for everyone to hear. They all stopped to look, including Summer. "Oh, that's right." I sighed before swiftly hitting Freddy with a pillow on the face, as hard as I could. The remaining people laughed as I stood and went for the door.
"Oh, that is such a cheap move." He said with a lazy smile. "Aww Keys, don't leave." My knees wiggled at the sound of that, in return I stuck my tongue out, wore my school hat and went out before I could give in.
i'll dish out something incredible for the next few chapters. As i read, i feel like i want some freddy and avery alone scenes. do you want that too? I'm worki]ng on it. So... fingers crossed.
