(Stevie)
We head inside the room, and it's actually not so bad. There was a bass in the corner, and a set of drums. We also saw a ukulele and a keyboard. There was some random stuff in the room to make it look like it wasn't just a band room. It was supposed to be a comfy and silly place. In the middle of the room was a green couch and and a coffee table. There was a skeleton model, plus some masks on the walls. There were a bunch of things related to Furious Pidgeons, so I guessed they had some Furious Pidgeon addicts in the band. I see Molly singing to two guys in Furious Pidgeons T-shirts. Then I notice one of them was the guy Grace was staring at earlier. I glance at Grace, and she's staring at him again.
"Grace!" I yell waving my hand in front of her face.
"Huh? Oh. Sorry." she says. I guess she had a crush.
I listen to Molly singing, and she sounds pretty good. She almost sounded as great as Kacey. After a while, she finishes her song.
"That was great Molly." the boy with a drumstick in his hand says. Molly smiles, and walks away.
"Top that Kacey." she says, and exits the room.
"Next!" the boy with a phone on his hand says. If it wasn't obvious, he was playing Furious Pidgeons on it. Kacey walks towards them, and gives them a wave.
(Kacey)
"Hi! I'm Kacey, and you two..."
"Nelson and Kevin, overachievers on Furious Pigeons and band members of Gravity 3." they say.
"Gravity 3? But there's only two of you." I say.
"The other band member is out because he kind of lost his ukulele. I think he's really just playing for his fangirls." Kevin says and I laugh.
"So, are you here for the lead singer position, or-"
"I'm trying out for the lead singer position." I say.
"So... What are you going to sing?" Kevin asks. I think for a little bit, then I sing.
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woke up on the right side of the bed
What's up with this Prince song inside my head?
Hands up if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time
Slept in all my clothes like I didn't care
Hopped into a cab, take me anywhere
I'm in if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time
Good morning and good night
I'll wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time.
After that, I finish to find myself looking at Kevin take notes.
"Great job Kacey! You were very good." Nelson says.
"Thanks." I say, and head straight for the couch. They were high school boys. I'm pretty sure none of them cared about courtesy.
"Next!"
(Stevie)
"Next!" Nelson yells and I come up.
"What are you auditioning as?" Kevin asks.
"Bass player." I say grabbing the bass in the corner.
"Do you know Go with Gravity?" Nelson asks me.
"Of course I do. I hear it everyday." I say.
"Then you must listen to the band rehearsals." Kevin says, and I nod. Honestly, I was always curious wondering where that music came from. Every time I walked near this room on the way to my next class, I heard music coming from this room. One time, I suspected that music was a relation to the "hauntings." I guess I was just tired that day.
"Yup, but it sounded like you already have a lead singer." I say.
"We want a lady for certain songs," Kevin says. "So state your name and business." Kevin says acting all official. I decide to play along.
"Stevie Baskara, Brewster student." I say.
"Go ahead and play your bass." Nelson says. I play a few chords, and go with the flow. I kind of even sing a little bit. After that, I finish up.
"Great job, but are you sure you auditioned as a bass player?" Nelson asks me.
"Yeah. Why?" I ask.
"You sound like you could be a lead singer." Kevin says.
"Yeah right. I sound like a donkey choking on a carrot." I say. Nelson throws away his carrot sticks in the trash can nearby. I probably shouldn't have said that.
"Fine, but tell us if you want to be a lead singer. There's still a chance." Kevin says, and I say thank you. Then I go sit down on the green couch next to Kacey.
(Grace)
"Next!" Nelson says. I get up, but I don't feel like my usual bubbly self. I feel all sweaty and nervous. I walk over to them.
"Hello!" I try to say cheerily, but it comes out in a cracked voice. I cough trying to cover it up.
"Your name?" Nelson asks me.
"Grace King." I say.
"What are you here to audition for?" Kevin asks me, but I don't take my eyes off Nelson. Is this what it's like to have a crush?
"Backup singer." I say hoarsely.
"You want a drink of water, or something?" Nelson asks me.
"Oh, no thanks." I say.
"Okay, just sing a few notes. You just need to sound decent. You don't have to sing a whole song." Kevin says while Nelson takes notes in his notepad, but by the way he looks at his notepad, and how he moves his pen, I could tell he is doodling. Probably Furious Pidgeons. I sing a few bars, then stop.
"Great job Grace." Nelson says giving me a thumbs up and a smile. Oh he looks so- stop you stupid hormones!
I go to Stevie and Kacey.
"Let's go." I say, and we walk out.
