Colin's POV

5 billion years later and me and my sister are finally driving our very own car. It's not really what we expected but the car's pretty sleek. Dad is finally finished paying for the vehicle and went over to us to give us the key.

"Here's the key to the car," Dad handed us the key and Nikki was the one who accepted it. I glared at her and she just innocently smile at me, "I'll be expecting the two of you at the house immediately. No dilly-dallying around the city."

"Thanks, Daddy. We will, I promise." My sister said with a huge smile on her face.

We watched dad as he was getting inside his BMW and drove off. I noticed that Nikki was off guard and I quickly snatched the key from her grip and ran to the car.

"Colin!" I heard my sister yell at me.

We started chasing each other around the Camaro until I stopped and leaned at the car to catch my breath. Nikki, being an athlete that she was, still appeared to be calm and fresh.

"This isn't getting us anywhere, Coco." She held me her hand so I can give her the keys but I still refused to.

"Rocks, papers, scissors," I simply said to her after regaining my composure.

"You are so unbelievable," Nikki rolled her eyes and balled her hands, "Fine."

I did the same thing with my hands and we both started chanting, "Rocks, papers, scissors. Shoot!"

I grinned at my sister as she gritted her teeth and slump her way to the passenger's seat without a word.

============================================================
15 minutes later...

We have finally arrived home. Our home was a three story house. It had a Victorian design with pearly white walls and black roof. I noticed our nanny and the gardener was tending the garden and dad's BMW was parked. I quickly placed the Camaro just beside dad's vehicle and then got out with Nikki.

"Hey, Eleanor." Nikki and I greeted the elder woman.

"Hello, children." That's a pretty car you had." Eleanor looked at yellow Camaro with a smile on her thin lips.

"Yeah, it's vintage." I said while making our way to the front door with our bags.

"Dad, we're home, just like you said." My sister called out while making her way to the kitchen, "I need a soda."

I made my way to the living room and saw my one-year old American Bulldog making his way towards me.

"Argos!" He started bouncing up and down on me and I had to pet him on the head for that, "Geez, for an injured puppy, you sure do jump a lot." Argos settled down and barked before wagging his tail.

I made my way upstairs to where me and my twin's room shared while Argos followed suit. I opened the white wooden door and was met by the flowery scent of the room. Our bedroom was pretty big, covered with red and white paint with black tiles. The bed was double decked with mine being on the bottom. We both have two study desks, mine was painted black while Nikki had her colored in white. My desk was decorated with a lot of Marvel Heroes bobbleheads, namely Deadpool, Captain A, and Iron-man. My sister also had her decorated with different kinds of sports balls. Like I said before, she's pretty much the athlete. She plays in the School's female football team. Me, on the other hand prefer the Academics.

I had my piano keyboard and red guitar placed at the corner of the room right next to our closet and giant mirror. Me and Nikki both love music so much. We even had a band called, 'Red Authority'.

I pushed the curtains of the door leading to the balcony open and let some sunlight shine through the room. Argos started whining and I turned my attention to him. He was lying on his dog bed, looking at me with sad eyes.

"Do you want your pain pills, boy?" He got up into a sitting position and wagged his tail, "Ok, wait here." I opened one of the drawers and looked for a bottle labelled, 'Argos'.
I smiled when I finally found it and made my way back to my little pup, "Here you go pumpkin. That's enough for today." I smiled and petted him on the head.

I heard the door open and saw my sister holding a glass of lemon juice and a soda, "Hey there sissy!" She handed me the lemon juice and proceed to her desk.

"Thanks."

"So, you ready for tonight's gig?" She opened her laptop and start typing something.

"Not really." I said silently but I'm pretty sure she heard it.

"Come on, Co. We've been practicing this for days. I'm sure you're ready!" She turned her attention to me with a shock look, "We've done this a lot of times. Since when are you nervous?"

"I know, but this one's different! Trent and majority of the class are going to be there in the crowd!" I took a deep breath, "And what if I'll mess up the chords or... Or I'll fall of the stage. I wouldn't be surprised if he keeps on making fun of me."

What is wrong with me?

"Ok, so you're going to let a bean head get in your way?" She stood over me with arms crossed over her chest while I sat on the floor, legs crossed. "Listen, Trent is a jerk! He makes fun of people because he's jealous and insecure. If I were you, I would show him who the boss is and that he shouldn't mess with a Valentine. You get that?"

Wow, sis! Didn't know you had it in you.I smiled at her and nodded.

"That's my sister," Nikki offered me her hand and I gladly took it, "Now let's get dress. Ariel's waiting for us at her house."

We both walked to our closet and I got dressed into a black leather bustier crop top and a red high-waist plaid skirt that reaches just above my knees. I decided to wear a black boots that had chains surrounding the ankle. I put on my leather jacket to keep my shoulders from being exposed. My makeup was dark yet simple.

My sister on the other hand wore a red tank top and black skinny jeans. Her boots were like stilettos and were crazy high. She also wore a black leather vest and a Crucifix necklace. We both have the same makeup on and she had her hair on a high ponytail.

We both look each other in the mirror and feel completely satisfied, "We look badass!"

Nikki and I headed downstairs with my guitar case strapped around my shoulder and were greeted by our father who was seated in the living room with a laptop in front of him.

"I can see you two are dressed up." We both nodded.

"So, you're still not coming to watch us perform?" I asked

Dad shook his head, "I'm sorry dear but I can't. I still had a lot of things to do..."

"Its ok dad, we understand." I cut him off and immediately walked out of the room. Nikki followed me towards the car.

"Have fun you two. Be home before eleven," Dad said while standing by the door, "And drive safe!"

"We will." We both said simultaneously as we got inside our car.

Nikki was the one to start the Camaro. Black smoke started coming out of the exhaust and I sighed, "This one needs a lot of work."

"Tell me about it." She said as the car drove off.

We finally made it to Ariel's home and saw her sitting at the porch of her house. Nikki honked the horn and caught her attention. She smiled at us and brought her bass guitar case with her. I could say, she looks spunky too. She was wearing a red plaid shirt, a two toned denim shorts, one red and the other black and Chuck Taylors.

"What the heck happened?" She said examining our car. I couldn't help but laugh at her reaction.

"Richard, happen." I replied.

"Well, it's not so bad. Besides, it's got racing stripes." She started laughing and got in the back seat of the car, "I've got to say that I don't normally dress like a teen that had family issues. No offense to you, Coco."

I just laughed at her, "Don't worry about it. It's only for tonight," I rolled my eyes, "And It's called making a statement that you are unique and free not that I have family issues or hormonal issues or whatsoever! I don't do self-harm ok? Those things are so wrong."

"Yeah, those things are weird." Nikki and Ariel nodded.

20 minutes later and we finally made it to our destination. We parked the car just outside the place and made our way inside with our instruments. It kind of reminded me of that place from the Lindsey Lohan film, 'Freaky Friday'.

We saw Max and Teddy setting up the stage. The first one to notice us was Teddy.

"Hey there, ladies in red." Teddy was also wearing red. He had red plaid shirt over a Nirvana tee.

We started planning the whole concert and Teddy explained to us the whole special effects and the outcomes.

"Wow, Theodore. Really proud of you." I said while clapping my hands.

"We're all set now." Max came walking towards us.

I checked the time and it was 7:30 pm. The guests have finally arrived. I looked through the red curtain and saw Trent with his friends. Then I noticed a dude with black hair and piercing blue eyes that made me choke on my own oxygen. I quickly withdraw myself and my friends noticed it.

"Hey, are you ok?" Ariel held me by the shoulder.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Everyone looked at me with shock expression.

"Tell you what?" Ariel raised a brow on me.

"That Zack is here!"

"What? No way." I could tell that the others were as confused as me.

"Colin, we didn't know," Max also checked, "I think he's with Trent and his friends."

"Trent's doing this on purpose." I said through gritted teeth.

I had a huge crush on Zack since we moved here in California. I mean, it's very impossible not to fall for a guy who is super sweet, athletic, and good-looking, not to mention his eyes. Sadly, he hangs out with Trent, but he's very different from them. I don't think he even knows that I have a thing for him yet but I'm pretty sure that half of the campus knows it, even Trent does.

"Co, remember what we've talked about," I nodded at my sister, "Look at the bright side, Zack's finally going to notice your undeniable talent, not just the girl in school who sits at her chair and A's a test."

I laughed at her, "You're right. Let's do this thing!"

"Oh right!" Teddy held a fist in the air and held his electric guitar.

Ariel went to grab her purple bass guitar and Max held his electric guitar. Nikki got behind the drums and, yours truly, on the microphone.

The speaker started introducing us, "Good evening and welcome to the House of Rock!"

The speaker keeps on talking while I was murmuring a silent prayer of not screwing up.

"From Bradford Crystal High, please welcome, Red Authority!"

The whole crowd turned into applause, and I have to smile for that. The curtains suddenly opened then the chords of the song Ignorance started playing.

I started singing the lyrics of the whole song and have forgotten about Zack or Trent and do what a real rock star should do. I walked around the stage, ran, jumped, and banged my head with the beat making the crowd go crazy. The song finally came into a finish and the whole place went wild.

For the rest of the song, it would be me, Max, or Ariel who's going to sing it.

We finally came to the finale of the performance and Teddy had to make a so called 'speech'.

"So we've finally came to the end of the night," the whole crowd started booing, Teddy thanked the crowd for being supportive and apologized, "But don't worry, cause this last song that we're gonna perform is a classic. Ladies and gentlemen..." Teddy stared at me and queue me to start playing the chords. The whole crowd became wild when they realize what song it was, "Sweet Child O' Mine!"

Max started singing the lyrics of the song. Teddy just did the solo and made the whole crowd became even wilder, if that's even possible.

The song finally came to an end and we said our 'goodnights' to them with the curtains closing.

"That was amazing!" Ariel said giddily.

"Let's do that again!" I heard my sister said.

I suddenly heard someone came running towards us and pulled me into a hug, I looked to see who this person was and it was, Chloe. I forgot to mention that Chloe is also one of my closest friends. She wears glasses and such a really nice girl. We kinda looked up to her as the big sister of the group. She also came from the same country as we have.

"That. Was. Amazing!" She said between huge breathes.

"I also said that." Ariel said while placing her bass inside the case.

"I got it all on tape." She gave us the camera and we re-watch the whole.

"Thanks, Chlo."

We packed up all the things on the stage and headed outside to where the car was parked.

"So, is this your car?" Chloe asked me.

"Yeah, what do you think?"

"I love it! The colors are so nice, kinda reminds me of a bumblebee." She said with a huge smile. I laughed at her and thought about the name 'bumblebee'.

My thoughts got interrupted when I heard a commotion nearby. Chloe and I decided to check out what was going on.

What I saw really surprised me, Teddy and Trent were head to toe to each other, surrounded by a lot of people. Without a second thought, I jumped in between the two and pushed Trent away from Teddy.

"Hey! Leave my friend alone, DeMarco!" I glared at him and he just grinned at me.

"Oh. So you're sticking up for Pork chop here? Huh, Nerd?!" He snarled, "You know what's wrong with you? Is that you always stuck up for these losers!" He pointed at my friends.

"Oh," I copied him, "I see where this is going. You want me to join your little gang of Teletubbies. Well, you know what, I hate you! And don't blame me for the reason that you are a pathetic excuse of a man. You don't even deserve to be called one. Even my grandma can pull enough muscles than you do, Meathead!"

I noticed Trent balling his hand into a fist and made its way at me. I closed my eyes and braced for the impact but felt nothing. I opened my eyes and saw Zack standing in front of me holding Trent's fist.

"Zack! Get out of my way!" He tried shoving the raven head but Zack still hasn't moved.

"Trent, leave her alone." He spoke calmly.

"I guess you also want some..." Trent said through gritted teeth and throws a punch to Zack but it was too late, Zack already knocked the air out of Trent in an instant.

Everyone around the place gasped, even I was shocked.

"And take your mood swings somewhere else!" He yelled as Trent was being dragged by his other friends towards his car.

Zack turned around to face me, he's blue eyes locking with mine, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine now." I said, still shocked with the whole thing. Zack smiled and walked away to the other direction.

"Colin!" I heard my sister call, "Ted!"

"Are you guys ok?" Chloe said with concern in her eyes.

"You know, you could've just punch Trent while he was talking." Ariel said.

I laughed at her but my eyes were still on the raven head guy.

"Zaaaackyyyyyy," Max said with a goofy look on his face and made the others laughed. I rolled my eyes at his stupidity and made my way to the Camaro and leaned on the hood.

I watched Zack as he was by the sidewalk. Maybe he's waiting for a cab. If it wasn't for me, he could've been inside Trent's car by now driving to their house.

"So, what are you gonna do?" Nikki said beside me, "I mean, he's right there. It's your chance."

I sighed and thought about how I'm going to repay him until the car's radio started warbling, "Whose gonna drive you home?"

Nikki and I looked at each other and then the car.

"I think the radio's broken." I said.

"I think the radios right." Nikki smiled at me.

"Is it ok with you?" I asked her with a sad smile.

"I'll just go ask Chloe for a ride." She smiled at me and winked, "Go for it."

I quickly got inside the Camaro and drove my way in front of Zack who was still waiting for a cab.

"Hey, Zack." I honked the horn.

Zack leaned on the car to see who was driving and smiled when he realized it was me, I started to feel butterflies in my stomach again.

"Hey, Colin." He waved at me

"So... I was... I was wondering if I could give you a ride home." I stuttered and feel like puking up, "Well, if that's ok with you."

He opened the door and got inside the car and strapped his seatbelt.

"So, where to?"

He told me the address to his house which is a mile away from the place. I drove off and the both of us were silent. I decided to have friendly talk with Zack to break the whole awkwardness.

"Zack, I'm really sorry of what happened between you and Trent. It was my fault, I should've thought of it before getting into the scene."

"It's ok, Colin. Just forget about it." He looked at me and still smiled after the whole situation.

"Are you sure? Because you and Trent are kinda inseparable. You two are like boyfriend and girlfriend. And he just broke up with you." He started laughing in a very adorable way and it made me proud of myself.

"Technically, I broke up with him." We started laughing to each other until the laughter died down.

"Wow, Colin, I didn't know you were such a funny girl." He stared at me with those piercing blue eyes and I couldn't control the urge to blush. He must've noticed this because he started pinching my cheek, "Colin the tomato."

I laughed at that nickname and told him to quit it. We finally reached his residence and I heard him sighed, I turned to see what was going on and I found him staring at me.

"Is there something wrong?" I asked.

"No, it's just, I don't wanna leave this car yet," he started shifting on his seat, "I had a fun time, Colin. Thank you." He looked at me sincerely.

"Anytime." I said to him and noticed that he was leaning closer to me until our faces were inches apart. I realized where this was going and quickly held my palm in the space between.

"Colin?" He whispered.

"Do you think were taking things a little bit too soon?"

He laughed at my remark and set himself apart, "I understand. So, I guess I'll just see you later." He opened the door beside him and got out. He leaned at the car window, waved good-bye to me and I did the same thing before driving off.

I finally got home and saw Argos and my sister wearing hey pyjamas on the living room watching a film.

"So, how did it go?" Nikki asked with a huge smile on her face.

"Words can't explain!" I said flopping down the couch where she was seated. Argos came near me and starts licking my face.

I heard Nikki laughed, "Do you care to tell me what happen before you start making out with Argos?"

I pushed Argos away from me and got up from the couch, "I'll tell you all about it tomorrow. Right now, I need to take a shower."

I got into our room and quickly made our way to our bathroom and took a nice warm shower. I wore my favourite Captain America long-sleeve with black pyjama and braided my long black hair. I went downstairs and headed outside to my car and gave it a small hug on the hood.

"Thank you so much! I love this car!" I said to myself.

"Coco, let's go to bed." My sister said from the front door.

"Goodnight, Bumblebee."

I quickly got inside the house and ran upstairs to embrace my ever beloved bed. My sister climbed on top of the bed above mine. And I was left there, thinking of everything that just happened until sleep finally takes control.
