Rydel POV
" Hey Riker." I sighed as I greeted my older brother.
" Hey Delly , I thought you said you spending the night at Nessa." Riker said
I nodded " Yup , It turning into a sleepover with Taylor. But do me a favor ? "
He nodded
" Can you have Ruby accidentally confused Kelly's shampoo with Green hair dye ? " I smiled.
He nodded and hugged me. " Can I still kill Ratliff ? " He asked
I hugged him back and said " Nope , We have music career and We really need to practice like...now."
He released me and said " Now ? after what just happen ? "
I nodded . "i have to face him sometime. I could go get him." I suggested
Riker sighed and said " Fine , But don't speak to him."
I nodded and walked down to Ratliff's house.
I knocked on the door and Kelly answered It,
" Hey Delly , What Up ? And why were you crying yesterday ? Ellington won't tell me." She smiled
" I'm here to see Ellington." I said flatly
" Ellington , Rydel Here for you." Kelly shouted
Ellington quickly came downstairs and stood by Kelly.
" Hey Rydel , What Up ? " He greeted me with a smile.
" Ratliff We have to start practice . " I said flatly as I started toward my house. Ratliff trailing behind me.
We arrived at my house and went to the garage where Ross and Rocky set up the instruments.
I stood behind my piano which was in front Of everyone else instrument and felt someone glaze at my back. I turned around and see Ratliff staring at my ...butt , Shit I'm still wearing shorts shorts.
I quickly went back in my room and changed into my TOP-SHOP Knitted All-Over Epic Sweater with some dark faded jeans. And top it off with my custom-made Hello Kitty Converse.
I ran back the garage and see Everyone ready.
" Ok Dudes , Before We can even call ourselves a band We need a name ." I said as I turned around facing them.
" Got it ...Rocky and the rest." Rocky said swinging his green guitar
" No , and you're not the lead singer I am. We should be called Ross and The Koolaid." Ross said seriously strumming his acoustic.
" Yea Right ." Riker scoffed holding his blue bass." The Blue Riders ."
" How bout Rydel and Boys." I suggested . They all shook their heads. " What It Only fair my name in the name because I'm the only girl."
" How bout R5 ? " Ellington suggested quietly
" Why would it be called R5 ? " Rocky asked
" Well all our name start with R and there five of us." Ellington explained
" Your started with a E dummy." Ross said
" Well my first name may be Ellington but everyone call me Ratliff . " He shrugged
" Except of Kelly." I muttered
" And you. But I only mind when Kelly does." he said.
I just sighed and look down at my piano keys.
" I like the name R5." I said
The boys quickly agreed.
" Okay , If we perform I'm not gonna be in front," I said
" Of Course Keyboard Player are in the back by the...drummer." Ross said scratching the back of his neck.
" Okay , Rocky Move My KeyBoard." I said
" Why can't you do it ." Rocky moaned.
" Please." I sighed
" Nope." he said.
Rocky need some convincing .
My bottom lips started quivering and I started crying in my hands.
" Rydel What Wrong ? " Ross asked
" If rocky doesn't move my keyboard , I have to move it myself. Them I get hurt on the outside as much as I am in the inside." I sobbed.
Through my teary eyes , I see Rocky moved my keyboard to the back next to Ratliff's drums.
I smiled and wiped away my fake tears. " Thanks Rocky." i laughed as I stood behind my keyboard.
" oh c'mon." Rocky moaned " Fell for the fake crying bit. Such a dumbass."
" So , Rocky and Riker what song have you guys made ? " I said
" Umm...Ready Set Rock , Here Come Forever , and I want you bad." Rocky said looking up .
" Okay , Here your copies." Riker said as He passed them out.
" Guess What Brothers , Sister , Jerkface." Ryland said cheeky as He came into the garage.
" What !? " Ross said
" I got you guys a gig ,." he smiled then glares at Ratliff.
" Really Ryland Before We even rehearsal Songs." I said all worried. I was always worrying about every little detail . It a Virgo thing.
" Rydel , We'll be perfect. When is it ? " Ratliff asked
" Tomorrow Night." he said
" On a school night, Ryland We need our sleep." I complained
" Rydel." rocky called my name.
" What," I replied
" Shut The Fuck Up and Quit Complaining." He said picking one of his picks.
" Wow , Man Way To Be Settled." I said sacrasticly a little offended.
" Great , And Ross you're in charge of drawing the band logo." Ryland said
" Why Me ? " He complained
" Be-"
He was interrupted by my phone ringtone saying " A Bitch is calling. A whore is calling." it get worse the longer it rings.
I answered and It was Kelly.
" Oh Hey Kelleigh ." I said using her full name.
" Delly , FaceTime me right quick it an emergency." She said as She hung up.
I took my time and facetimed her.
" Rydel , I was washing my hair and look what happened." Kelly said as She unwrapped the towel on her head. Her long brown hair was now neon green and curly. She look like a Oompa -Loompa from Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory.
I started laughing hysterically.
" It not funny." She whined.
I walked over to Riker and showed her and He started rolling on the floor laughing.
" Delly , Are you showing your brothers ? " She asked, She only see me in the screen.
" No." I laughed,
I showed Ross and Rocky and They were laughing so hard they couldn't breathe. I showed Ellington and He started laughing hysterically.
Ellington appeared right next to me , so Kelly can see him.
" OH MY GOD ELLIBEAR , YOU WASN'T SUPPOSE TO SEE ME ." She exclaimed.
" Ellibear ? " I said in fake questionable.
" It ...um...siblings nickname." She said on the spot.
" Drop The Dumbass Act Kelly. I know you and Ellington are dating and are probably fucking each other. You could have told me before I fell for him. You didn't say shit , about you dating him. I could had understood and back off with my heart unbroken. But no I had to find out by finding you two kissing in the fucking pool shattering my heart in pieces. You kissed a guy , I liked. You may have him first but it still hurts . A best friend wouldn't do that . Infact , Just forget We were ever friends. Matter of fact just forgot my whole life and family. That the only good you can do ." I yelled at her.
" Rydel , I'm so sorry." Kelly said
" You wanna know who also sorry , My Dad Mallet. He would like to apologize." I said as I place my phone on my dad workbench then slammed the mallet on it. The crack shattered and I could still see Kelly.I slammed it down over and over . And stopped when smoke rises from it.
I looked at my brothers and Ratliff who are speechless.
" Yet , Get Practice On." I smiled as I walked back over to my keyboard. Getting that off my chest feels so much better. Maybe How I want to yell at Ellington could be made a song.
When I see Him and Kelly. I feel
There a Fire Starting in my heart.
Reaching a fever pitch bringing , me out the dark.
( Excerpt from Adele Rolling In The Deep.)
That could finished practice and We decided to make Emotion Pancakes.
" Okay , Guys and Gal Emotion Pancakes are When You design a pancakes showing how you feel and Everyone has to guess how you're feeling for you to eat your Pancakes." Riker said as He placed a plate of pancakes in the center of the table.
Riker arranged the seat so I have to seat next to Ratliff on one side and Ross , Ryland and Rocky still on the other side. And Riker sit at the head of the table.
" Everyone take two pancakes and grabbed a whip cream bottle. " Riker said grabbing his own 2 pancakes and taking one of the 5 whip cream bottle.
" Rydel , You have to share with Ratliff." Riker said handing me my pink whip cream caN.
First Riker wanted to stay the hell away from Ratliff. Now He making me share with him.
WTF.
" okay You May Now begin. " Riker said settling down chocolate chips , marshmallows , gummy bears , and fruits.
I sprayed the whip cream on the outline of pancake. And line the chocolate chip in a big breaking heart and then put a banana as a smile and strawberry half as eyes.
I'm heartbroken but Happy that Ellington really likes me.
" Okay Done." Riker said . " I go first." He said showing his x.x face.
" How You imagine Ratliff ," Rocky said .Riker nodded and glared at Ratliff as He sat down.
" My turn ." Rocky said showing his pancakes with whip cream curly hair and strawberry eyes and two orange slices forming big lips." Rocky feels this shit...Is Girly." Ryland said
Rocky nodded and licked the whip cream. " Shirley you taste very delicious ." he moaned causing everyone to laugh.
" Ok ,Mines it easy." Ross said showing everyone his happy face pancake.
" You're happy." I said monotone.
He nodded and started shoving pancakes down his throat.
" this is mine." Ryland said showing his blank pancakes.
" I'm guessing you don't give a shit." Riker said as he glare at Ryland.
" Right on the spot bro." Ryland smiled.
It was my turn. I showed everyone my pancake. " Your happy , your heart-broken." Ross said
I shook my head " Not Exactly."
" She heartbroken but happy the guy who broke her heart still really like her." Ellington sighed.
I nodded . " Well that guy need to pick who He wants to be with ? "
" It probably not that easy for him , He dating this one girl who He known and crushed forever then Suddenly met this wonderful , beautiful girl who I - I mean He felt like get him like no one else. " Ellington explained looking at me.
" Just Show us the pancakes . dude." Rocky said
Somehow Ratliff designed his pancakes with a road with two options.
" Crossroads. You're at a crossroad." I said.
He nodded , He likes me and He dating my ex best friend. Since He came Drama became a mega issue,
I didn't feel like eating and stood up from my seat " I'm gonna head to Vanessa house." I sighed as I went upstairs and grabbed my overnight bag and left.
