CHAPTER 6: I WAS NOT PUT IN THIS WORLD TO IMPRESS ANYONE.
It's like I'm falling in love all over again
For the first time, and I know that it feels right
I think I'm falling in love all over again
For the first time, and I know how it feels tonight.
Everyone was in shock, and I felt completely ashamed. I felt like I changed the last lyric's tone to make it longer and more appealing to impress everyone.
Jo then says, "I haven't heard that before. Did you get it off the FM Radio?" The class was suddenly quiet. Kendall then starts clapping and everyone claps for me. I smile a bit and give a sarcastic grin at Jo and take my approval. We thenall head to the diner to talk about the plans and all. Logan says he should sell CDs, Carlos says we can ask the diner to help us sell their food in school, Katie and are still clueless for ideas.
"Why not, we all have a toast!" Katie says, raising her big glass of chocolate milkshake. Everyone then starts raising their cups and glasses.
"To the ever so amazing, beautiful, gorgeous.." Logan describes, but he's cut off by Carlos
"DID YOU SAY BEAUTIFUL ALREADY?" Carlos says, I laugh for a bit and keep raising my glass.
"YES, CARLOS." An annoyed Logan says,
"Gorgeous and Talented, Taylor McDonald." Logan says, smiling at me and gives me a long kiss on the lips. We then raise our glass and we all cheer to a toast for me.
Everyone then starts clapping for me and I'm rather flattered by all these applause. I grin as I take a sip of my strawberry milkshake. Logan wraps his arm around me and I lean on his shoulder.
We hear a song on the radio and Logan then starts beat boxing with his chair and Carlos mentions,
"Hey! Give me a beat, Gonna impress that damn waitress there!"
He then sings and we all laugh like crazy cause most of the time, he intentionally made his voice crack and off key.
The beautiful waitress then rolls her eyes at him and serves him his banana split and storms out annoyed.
An idea finally strikes inside my head as I hear Logan and Carlos singing more. I think about it more and finally get a good grasp of the idea. I tap my finger on my chin and finally agree to myself that I should tell others about my idea. No one else has this idea, right?
"I have an idea!" I say, standing up with pride. "We can perform! Logan can beat box and Carlos could sing! I can do the guitar perfectly and Katie will be in charge of the sales for an entrance fee!"
"But I've heard you sing already. You HAVE to sing with us." Logan says, holding my shoulder.
"Course not! I can do guitar, but NOT singing, I swear." I say,
Moments later, James comes in.
"I guess we have a band! And I'm officially helping you guys, totally." He says,
"I guess that's it, guys. We have practice every night, at whose house?" Logan asks
"We can crash at my house." Kendall says as he enters.
"Woah, and who said YOU'RE joining?" Logan asks. I raise a brow and Kendall waves at me.
"Hey can I talk to you for a sec?" I ask Kendall and we talk by the parking lot.
"Look, I'm sorry for Jo."
"Oh really?"
"Really! Hey, I've been trying to break up with her for a really long time and I'm just waiting till I graduate."
"And you think THAT can change the fact that you just barged in and wanted to join the band all of the sudden?"
"Yes!"
"Well, I'm sorry. But, no."
"COME ON! I can play guitar!"
"So can I,"
"I can play bass?"
"No."
"I can rap."
"No."
"Can't I Perform, PLEASE?"
"We crash in your place for rehearsals and you'll help us create a stage enough for us to perform in?"
"Yeah."
"Alright. You can perform with us."
"Really? Thanks Ari!" He says, hugging me tightly. I then smile but what Kendall doesn't know is that I see Jo from afar and she stomps her foot, glaring at me.
I then let go of Kendall and I head back to the diner, I see Camille beside Logan standing near the counter. I take my place in the chair and Kendall sits beside me. Jo then suddenly storms in alone screaming,
"TAKE THIS KENDALL SCHMIDT! You and I? O-V-E-R! CHEATING ON ME WITH A FRESHMAN? HOW STUPID! UGH, AND CAMILLE! I THOUGHT YOU'D BE WITH ME? UGHHHH!" She screams, she then comes at me and points at me with a plastic knife, "YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS LITTLE TAY, EVEN WITH A KNIFE SHARPER THAN THIS!" She then throws the knife away and leaves.
Kendall doesn't really care and he just puts his arms around me. I try to let go of Kendall's arms because I believe only Logan can do this.
I see Logan coming close to me but is halted as Camille comes in running inside the diner into Logan's arms.
