"I am not singing in front of people." I told him. "I suck at singing anyways."
"You sing in the shower all the time!" he pointed out. "Besides, I already signed us up."
"First of all, how do you know that? And second of all, YOU DID WHAT?" I could feel my face turning red. "We are marching down there and destroying any documentation of me joining the talent show." I grabbed my keys and got ready to roll.
"But don't you want to beat Mindy?" he asked.
"Mindy is gonna be in the talent show?" I demanded.
"She started a band with Urwin." Billy explained. Maybe this band isn't such a bad idea after all, I thought. I went to my room and started listening to music. All American rejects was on, and I don't care what anyone says, Gives you hell is the greatest breakup song that was ever conceived. Billy said that we were doing a cover band, maybe I could do this song. No, no. I couldn't do justice to the original. What about, Centuries by fall out boy? Paradise by Coldplay? Ugh! Why couldn't I think of anything? I banged my head against the wall trying to think. Just then, Grimm walked through the door.
"Are you alright Mandy?" he asked.
"Not really. Not to be bitchy, but get out!" I shouted. It was. It was to be bitchy.
"I can't figure out what band to cover." I confessed.
"Have you considered this track?" he asked, holding up my favorite album of my favorite singer ever. I grinned, which really hurt.
"No. No I haven't." I said, taking a look at the album. Among the tracks was my favorite song, Shut up and kiss me by Orianthi. The song was quickly paced, with a not really positive or negative tone. Not to mention a wicked guitar solo. "Since when do you care?" I asked.
"Since when do you?" he asked and left me with my gothic bedroom. I looked around to see the cork board overflowing with really old pictures. Ugh. I can't believe I ever wore that stupid dress. You want to know what is crazy? My mother and father always used to talk about when they were in love. They said that they lost sleep thinking about each other, that they could almost barf at the mere sight of each other, but they loved one another. And I never believed them. But now, staring at the cork board collage demonstrating the evolution of our friendship, I realized that I could relate with all the crazy talk.
