A/N: So, 3 chapters in 2 days. You can tell I'm bored. Well, as requested this chapter is up, now with extra Will ;)
Just one thing to say for those of you who will get this: Billie tied to a chair.
Secrets
Rehearsal was pretty boring. I spent the majority of it fingering through all of my solos and debating on whether I should add dynamics in different places. Samba was uneventful too; we learned two songs. Caleb and I had been put on the simplest instrument possible at the back and after a while, Will had joined us. Tomorrow, he'd be too busy playing bass for the German choir to join us in a Samba routine. Casually, we had all sat at the very back and swayed slightly, only being annoyed at points by Ms. Burke who told us we were lazy.
After getting changed and washed, most of the girls gathered in my room. Hannah, Alisha, Megan M, Megan B and the Megan from year 6 had all gathered in my room for a nice refreshing game of Spin the Bottle: Truth or Dare style. Everybody always chose truth though so it wasn't really a productive game. After a few of my own personal secrets being revealed, the bottle finally landed on some other people.
"Truth!" Alisha squealed when the bottle landed on her. I rolled my eyes and sat back while the others thought about what to ask her.
"Who do you like?" Megan M finally blurted out. It was the standard question to ask when we couldn't think of anything.
"I...I'm not saying." She blushed.
"Come on! That's the point of the game, we find out things." Megan M yelled.
"Besides, anything said in this room, stays in this room." I sighed. They all knew too much about me anyway, it was only fair that other people started confessing to things.
"Well, it's somebody in this band." She eventually gave in. I sat upright straight away, this would be good.
"Tell me!"
"No!"
"I told you about...that horrible time...so you have to tell me!"
"Why don't you tell me in private and I'll see if you should tell the group or not." Hannah chirped in.
"Fine." Alisha confirmed. I got annoyed. Why did Hannah get to know and I didn't? Just because everybody already knew about her and Calvin, they displayed it on the coach enough. They went into the other room alone and the rest of us sat in anticipation. When they came back out, Hannah looked slightly amused.
"Yes. She has to tell you." She declared.
"But not straight away." Alisha added. We span the bottle again and the same happened for Megan. However, when they left the separate room, Hannah decided that we couldn't know anything. Annoyed, I leaned back to try and address the situation. Surely it can't be anything bad, Megan had a boyfriend back home and everybody knew she was annoyed with him. They barely spoke; he just ignored her in the corridors and in lessons. It was as if he didn't want to be seen with her, but then, why would he be dating her?
"I'll tell you in a bit anyway." She whispered to me. I wasn't expecting anybody to talk to me so I jumped a little before nodding and going back to playing the game. After a few more spins, we decided that the game wasn't going anywhere and the girls that were in the room across the hall left. Now, it was just us 4 left. An awkward silence swept over us; you could have cut the tension with a butter knife. Eventually, Alisha spoke.
"Well, I'll tell you who the guy is then..." She whispered. Moving closer, we gathered around.
"Is it Elliot?" Megan guessed. Alisha screwed up her face; I'm guessing it wasn't him.
"Will?" I suggested.
"Nope." Alisha smiled.
"Caleb?" Megan suggested. I shot her a surprised look and sighed a sigh of relief when Alisha said no. I couldn't deal with somebody else liking him too, especially if I'd have to share the same room as them. Earlier, the only Megan that was still in primary school had confessed that the two fittest guys on the coach were Elliot and Caleb. Bless.
"Tell us!" I practically yelled.
"Fine...it's Nathan." Alisha blushed. Giggling, we gathered ourselves up and restrained ourselves from teasing her.
"Now, I think Megan has something to tell us." I smirked. I could be so evil sometimes. Watching her blush, I moved closer to her.
"Well...I'd just like to say that I need to break up with Elliot, and I'll need your help doing it." She murmured. Feeling sorry for Megan's Elliot, I just nodded and urged her to continue.
"But...I have this really big crush on a guy in the band."
"Which section?" I asked.
"Rhythm." It was clear. There were only 4 guys in the rhythm section and she wouldn't tell us if she liked somebody that one of us already did. It wasn't Caleb, it wasn't Calvin, it wasn't Nathan. It had to be...
"Will."
I hid her from Alisha's taunts by throwing a blanket over us both. Literally as soon as I did it, Mrs. Burke came in to tell us to turn our light off and go to sleep. Finally, I could get a decent night's sleep. Setting my alarm for 6am, I lay down on the couch that I would be sharing with Megan and tried closing my eyes. I guess you could say the day had been eventful; four girls each with a guy from the band. I knew what I'd do; I'd help each one of them get who they wanted.
"Well, we need to help each other right?" Hannah spoke as if she could read my mind.
"Yea, so what will be our aims for tomorrow then?" I asked the girls.
"Well, you'll be trying to get close to Caleb which will mean getting close to his friends too. If you try and get Will talking to Megan then I'll get Nathan and Alisha closer."
"That would work, and then I could talk to Caleb alone too."
"Find out what music he's into and make sure you remember it. Oh, and hug him."
"Fine."
"What's Will's favourite band?" Megan asked us. Giggling, I grabbed my phone and put on some Green Day. It was obvious that he liked them, he had worn a Green Day shirt on the way here and even joined in when Calvin played 'American idiot'. Personally, I thought he'd be a really good mate. Sure, I wasn't a diehard Green Day fan, but he seemed to like the same type of music as me. The fact he was ginger too just made him awesome. Singing along to the song, I asked Megan if she liked it. Nodding, she smiled.
"Good taste."
Everything had to be perfect. Everybody had to be happy.
Nothing better than a holiday romance. Right?
