Chapter 4

~Spinelli's PoV~

"What are we doing here?" Vince asks as we enter the auditorium. It was after school and the only people at school were people in after school clubs and study groups. "Shh," I reply and force Vince and TJ to sit down by putting my hands on their shoulders and pushing them down. I sit in between them and wait patiently.

"What's going on?" TJ asks. I hadn't told them what was going on, I just told them to meet me after school. I shush him and sit on the edge of my seat. The stage was empty at the moment but I knew soon there would be some action happening.

The choir teacher was running late, I could tell because she hurried into the room. "Okay! I'm here! Let's begin the auditions!" The curtains opened and Gretchen was one stage, she was the first one to sing. She was trying out for a solo in the upcoming choir concert and asked me to come so I mad the whole group come.

She walked up to the microphone and cleared her throat. I could tell she was nervous but I had faith in her. She was going to do great, I just knew it. The music began to play, it was a slow song.

~Gretchen's PoV~

The music begins to play and I'm nervous. "I never meant to get us in this deep. I never meant for this to mean a thing," I begin. My voice is trembling a bit but I get more confident with each word. "Oh, if I could go back in time when you only held me in my mind."

I was hoping to get a solo but if I didn't, that would be okay too. I had told Spinelli to come, for support, and she did. I smile at her and my friends after I was done. I walk off stage and meet Spin's open arms. "You were great!" She squeals. "If you don't get a solo, I'll be shocked."

"Good job!" Teej stands up from his spot. "That was awesome."

"Thanks," I say with a smile. "Let's go. She's not going to post the result till the end of the week." Spinelli chats away happily. I don't really pay attention, my mind was still on the audition. I really hoped I got a solo, I worked really hard for it.

It was close to bed time when my phone started to buzz. Who could be calling? I check my phone then answered it. "Spin, you know I go to bed at a nine on school days. What is it?" Why on Earth did she decide to call at 8:50? Bedtime was ten minutes away, it better be important.

"Facebook, now." She hung up before I could ask a single question. Why did she want me to go on Facebook? What was so important? My phone buzz once more, signaling a text. It was from Teej. I start up my laptop and wait for it to load. I check the message 'did u check fb?'. I send a quick reply telling him that I was about to check.

Once on Facebook, I see that I have several notifications. I call Spinelli back and what she answers I ask what I'm supposed to be looking at. "Look at your notifications!" I click the little globe and see that I'm tagged in something that was posted on the school's page. I click on it and read through it. "I got the solo," I say in surprise. "I thought it would take forever for them to announce it." I read through the comments, of course the Ashleys commented on it. "You read the comments? 'She totes cheated! She's not even that good! How did she get it and I didn't?'" I roll my eyes at the Ashleys, they were just jealous.

"Of course I did," Spin replies. "But isn't it awesome? You got the solo! You deserved it, Gretch!" The tone in her voice made it sound like that she wasn't telling me everything, so I ask her what else was wrong. "Fine, you caught me. So, check Ashley A.'s Facebook." This couldn't be good. I check on the girl's Facebook and scroll down to her latest status.

"'Totes going to homecoming with Vince! Jelly?'" I read out loud. Vince asked her to homecoming? I couldn't believe that, maybe she asked him. But why was he going with her? She was a total bitch. "What is this shit?" I didn't like to curse, but words slipped out every once and a while. "Did you ask Vince about this?"

"Of course I did, he said that she kept asking him so he finally said yes. I thought you'd want to know." Why would she think that? Was she onto her crush on Vince?

"Why would I want to know, Spin?"

"Cause those girls make your life a total hell, I thought you'd be able to talk Vince out of it. But I guess you don't care." Of course I cared, but I couldn't just admit that I did. Me and Vince? It could never happen, he was Mr. Popular and I was just a lame nobody. "He can date whoever," I reply. "I gotta go, Spin. Thanks for telling me." I hang up before she can say anything else.

I wasn't going to bed at nine tonight. I had a lot to think about and everything zoomed around in my head. Why did he have to go to homecoming with Ashley A? The worst of the Ashleys, the one that made my life the most hell. Even if she did go to the dance with Vince, that didn't mean that he liked her, right? While I was on the topic of homecoming, what was I going to wear? Was I gonna go with anyone? I could just go in a group with Spin and Teej, but what if they went together? It wouldn't be surprising, even though they weren't dating they went to social events together when they didn't have anyone else to go with.

I look over at my alarm clock and cringe, it was almost eleven. Where did the time go? Why were thoughts running through my mind when I was trying to sleep? Even if Ashley was going the homecoming with Vince, I got the solo. I decided that was the best thought to go to sleep with and that was final.

A/N: R&R! This chapter is kind of sucky, sorry about that. But yeah, here it is. ;3 I have a good idea for the next chapter or the one after that. ;3 So, watch out for that.
