year 9 now, so much harder than I expected but I can do it. Me and Andy are recovered now and Daniel and his friends were expelled. Today is Friday and after school me and Shannon are going to Bradie and Andy's for a 'sleepover' it sounds gay but it's actually just to jam and shit. I'm in math right now, my Indian teacher is just rambling on about Integers as I daydream, I'll just copy homework from the back of the book. Suddenly the bell went, I walked out and went to my locker, opening it and putting my books in and grabbing my sandwich and Bradie came a second later, putting his stuff away
"hey Bradie"
"Hey Shaun"
"have you got a drum beat for Goodbye yet?"
"I'm trying to make a beat to match the guitar, Andy's going well with the bass"
"that's good, we'll try it out tonight"
"yep" he smiled and then Andy came running to us "GUYS, GUYS, GUYS"
"what Andy?" Bradie asked
"Mr Philips was perving up Jessica's skirt. Oh my god, I'm glad I'm not a girl"
I laughed "oh my god Andy hahaha"
"shut up, she doesn't even know, I just looked at her and he 'dropped' a pencil the leaned down to grab it and then he took a photo with his phone up her skirt"
"that's fucked"
"agreed" Bradie added

Later all four of us walked to Andy and Bradie's and went to the practice room.
"Andy, show me the bass"
"oh okay" Andy said, picking up his bass, he plugged it in and turned up the volume, playing a little bass line, I sung it in my head. It was perfect
"YES ANDY THAT'S IT OH MY GOD"
"really?!"
"Yes! Oh my god"
"yay" we laughed
"Bradie's got something!" Shannon yelled
"show us Bradie" I said
"okay" he half smiled and starting doing a beat and I smirked "perfect" I said
"we should play this at youth rock" Andy said, I looked at him
"I think that's the smartest thing you've said all day" said Bradie, he looked back at me and smiled, I smiled back, we have to practice so hard for this to work.

Later we all migrated to Bradie's room; he has more room in his room than Andy. Andy's room is a mess. we all sat on his Spiderman cover bed and ate a bag or chicken chips as we watched a movie.
"I'm bored" Shannon said
"me too" Bradie said
"same" added Andy
"what do you want to do" I said
"let's play truth or dare" said Shannon
"okay, that sounds fun"
we all sat in a circle on the bed as the TV was on in the background. We dared Bradie to lick his dirty underwear and dared Shannon to go knick-knocking on Bradie and Andy's parent's door, dared me to do a funny dance and made Andy kick himself in the head and surprisingly, he did. Shannon whispered something into Bradie's ear, he giggled "oh my god, do it"
"okay" Shannon looked at me and Andy "I dare you two to fake make out"
"h-huh?" Andy said, I just stared at Shannon, my mind is blank, what is happening
"you heard me, stand up in the middle of the room and pretend to make out"
"b-"
"a dare is a dare Andy"
"okay, come on Shaun" I suddenly snapped back to life "h-huh, oh…" we both got up into the middle of the room and looked at each other
"now how do we do this?" I questioned
"okay um, slide your leg up my thigh"
"what?" he rolled his eyes and grabbed me from behind the thigh and dragged my leg up the side of his till it was my thigh on his, I curled my leg around his and smirked, giggling, this was so awkward
"now what?" I asked, he bit his lip and ran his fingers up the back of my hair, giggling softly, pressing our heads together, I moved my hands to his upper back, holding myself to him, we both giggled and rocked back and forth a bit so it looked like we were kissing, he tilted his head a bit and then it happened, our lips touched, my stomach filled of butterflies, we stopped moving and stared into each other's eyes. What just happened? I quickly pulled away "What now?" they both started to laugh.
"that was so gay" Shan snickered, Bradie was laughing.
"shut up, you asked for it, now what do we do?" Andy asked
"SLEEP!" Bradie smiled, I bit my lip "that sounds like a good idea" said Shannon
"yeah, you and Andy go to his room and sleep, we'll sleep here"
"okay" I said quickly, going into Andy's room, Andy followed and closed the door.
"Andy, turn around, I'm getting changed"
"okay" he turned around as I quickly got changed and then I turned around as he changed. It felt awkward. But it felt different. I felt fuzzy and warm. I can't have feelings for Andy, can I? We both got in his bed, we were facing each other, and he kept his eyes closed.
"Goodnight Shaun" he yawned
"n-night" I bit my lip and stared at him, his lips were soft. Amazing almost, maybe if our lips locked for longer it would have been more amazing, I closed my eyes and drifted softly to sleep.

ANDY P.O.V

it's been about 5 months since me and Shaun's little inccident. Truth is, I think I like him, like a lot. It would explain the feelings I got when he was with Stacey. But I think he's too straight to ever be gay. In these 5 months we have been practicing Shaun's song "Goodbye" and it sounds epic. And we're performing it any minute now.
"I hope we win this time, we've practiced so hard" Shaun said
"I know, plus it's not a cover, we should get more points for that" Bradie added
"exactly"
I sat there and fiddled with my fingers, I was so nervous, I don't want to fuck up. I want to get something right for once in my life. Gerald came backstage suddenly "Come on boys, your turn" I took a deep breath and Bradie went out first and sat at the drums as me and Shaun stood in our places and then we started playing, '1,2,3,4' I was counting as I played the bass. Our performance was amazing, better than last year. Then all of a sudden, Shaun's guitar backfired, fuck, what do I do, I looked over at him, he was playing but the guitar was failing, Gerald quickly ran on with someone else's guitar, as they fixed it I decided to do a little jig on stage, moving around and dance, laughing at Bradie because he was embarrassed and then I heard 'Strum, strum, strum' yes! I quickly moved back to my spot and we continued the song until the end. We went backstage and started shouted profanity "WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU DOING ANDY?!" Bradie yelled
"I WAS BEING ENTERTAINING COMPARED TO YOUR SHITTY LITTLE DRUMMING"
"YOU'RE SO EMBARRASING!"
"FUCK OFF!"
"GRR!"
Shaun ran in with his old guitar and threw it on the floor "Fucking piece of shit!" I threw my bass down, I was angry, I was helping but Bradie blamed it all on me. It was Shaun's guitar. Fuck. Moments later all the bands had to come on stage as they called the winner
"and the winner is…" the guy said into the microphone, Shaun grabbed my hand tight, we both bit our lip. "SHORT STACK!" we couldn't believe it, we smiled big and ran to the front, grabbing the award. This was the most amazing feeling ever.
