"Hi" I said and offered Dougie my hand to shake it. He looked at it, laughed, and then shake it. His hands were warm "What is so funny?"
"Nothing" he said, still smiling.
"No, really, I want to know"
"It's just that it's weird to shake hands, you must be really rich or something"
"Not really… I just don't know how to be a normal teenager, I grew up… Differently"
"We will teach you then" the one next to Jazzie said.
One hour later I had learned their names; Danny who still was by Jazzie's side, Dougie of course, Tom, Harry, Giovanna –Tom's girlfriend- and Carrie –Tom's little sister.
The boys taught me some 'urban vocabulary', as Tom called it. I'd learn English so as to be prepare to talk in a polite way, as they teach you at school back in my country, which wasn't normal for teenagers. 'Hang around', 'hell yeah', 'hot chick' and 'lame' were some of the things I learned.
They girls and I sat in a corner near Tom as they were rehearsing… They played four songs; 'Transylvania', 'Obviously', '5 colors in her hair' and 'Lies'. Now I knew why they were so famous… Not only they sounded more than amazing, but they were so funny when they played, they seemed honest, like they were having fun, this wasn't just a job for this, and I really liked that [author-note: two weeks ago I saw McFLY Live for the first time in my life and I'm describing how I felt about them actually]. Besides, they lyrics were cool and fun… Transylvania just kept bouncing up and down in my head.
McFLY weren't just excellent musicians, they all were really handsome, but, in my opinion, Dougie was still the cutest one, though I didn't say a word to anyone about it.
"Do you want to play?" Tom asked me… I had been staring at the beautiful piano for like 15 minutes now. Back in Argentina, my neighbor, an old kind lady, had a piano and she would always let me go and play whenever I wanted "You've been staring at it for ages" he smiled.
I smiled back and stood up immediately –maybe too fast for me weak body, I felt kind of dizzy.
"Are you alright?" he asked me as Giovanna helped me stand up properly.
"Yes, I'm fine"
I almost run to the piano. I sat in the little chair and felt excitement run through my veins. I had never had many reasons to enjoy my life, but I still had music, I've always loved it, I always will. I'd never played in such magnificent piano. My fingers run up and down as I played 'River Flows In You' [author-note: I have the sheets for this song, if anyone wants it send me a message with your email on it]. I didn't even need the sheets, I knew this song as I knew how many freckles I had on my face -29. The son sounded just perfect in this piano, and the sound of it was all over Wembley Arena.
"Wow" Danny said once I finished "that was wicked"
I laughed "Thank you"
"You blushed; you haven't played in front of many people, have you?" Dougie said.
"Not really… I've never played in front of anyone, just an old almost deaf lady."
Danny put an arm around me and shacked me.
"You can come and play whenever you want" he said "Right, guys?"
"Of course" Harry said.
"Jazzie's friends are our friends too… And even better if they are girls" Doug said and winked at me.
"You are so horny, Doug" Tom said."
"What's horny?" I asked. My English vocabulary wasn't too extent and I hated not knowing what people was saying.
They looked at each other, obviously about to laugh.
"Well…" Harry started, hesitating "When a girl or a boy starts to reach the age of—"
"It's when you want to do dirty things" Danny said.
"Oh, I get it" I said and laughed.
One
of the big, quiet guys came closer to us with a boring look on his
face.
"Jazzie, your mother is waiting for you in the car" he
said.
"Why so early?" Jazzie said almost to herself.
She hugged everyone and Dougie kissed her cheek.
"I'm sorry you cant stay" he said.
"Me too" she said.
I said bye from where I was standing, I was too shy to hug them and I wasn't use to physical contact. But Danny and Dougie run to me hugged me smiling, like little wild kids. They were jumping and singing 'hug hug hug hug!'.
I had the feeling that being normal was going to be harder than I thought.
