100 Word Challenge. #18: Sing!
I snapped my head up from the journal that I was reading. Whipping my head around I looked for the source of the noise. "What was that…?"
I stood up and walked towards… the garage?
I quickly checked my watch to make sure if I checked this out, I wouldn't be late for the trip with Daphne and Puck. "4:25… five minutes left-I've got lots of time!"
I trotted towards the garage door. The sound got louder… It was almost like someone was yelling? Screaming? I started to jog. "Something's definitely wrong." I thought. I picked out words. Among them I got "…work out!" and "...starring at me!"
I opened the door and whipped my head around, looking for the tormented person… and what I saw nearly gave me nightmares for weeks. Daphne and Puck were sitting in the car –with the music blaring- and they were trying to sing. Let's just say they weren't succeeding.
I walked hesitantly to the car door, opened it and peeked my head inside. Puck was the first one to stop singing and give me a lopsided grin. "You're late. We were supposed to leave…" he glanced at his watch, "Now."
I ducked my head as I got into the car. Daphne noticed that Puck wasn't singing finally and turned around in her seat to face me. "Oh…hi. We were singing and – do you want to sing with us?"
I subconsciously glanced around. "Um…I don't really-" I was cut off.
"Oh, please? It takes fifteen minutes to get to the store, and I don't want to sit here while you and Puck argue or whatever. Look, we've got a cd right here!" She waved a cd in front of my face. I snatched it from her and looked at the cover. Across the front it read " LMFAO" I thought about the abbreviation. Laugh my… Oh.
"What songs do they sing? They don't really sound like a- " I searched my mind for an acceptable word, " an appropriate band… for Daphne and all." I added at the end.
Daphne looked at me like I was stupid. "Sabrina, you sing their songs all the time while you're on the toi- I mean, while you're in the bathroom," she looked at me as I tried to think about what songs I sing. She obviously saw no recognition in my eyes. "I'm Sexy And I Know It? Party Rock Anthem?"
I recognized those songs. "…Is that the song you were singing? 'I work out…'? "
"Yes, that's one of the only songs I sing, Ugly. It's one of the only ones that are true about me," Puck grinned.
"Oh."Was all the came out of my mouth.
"Well, are we going? It's… four thirty-five," Daphne reminded us.
Puck took the keys and was about to turn them forward to start the old clunker. "Here, give me the cd." He took it from Daphne and put it in the cd player. He turned it up so that it was almost unbearably loud. Then he turned on the car. The music leveled out almost perfectly. Then they started singing.
I looked at them for a minute as we pulled out of the garage. They were crazy and horrible at singing. But-hey, so was I. Puck looked at me in the back seat as he sang. I grinned back at him.
Then I began singing also.
A/N: Well? Hope you enjoyed it! This one I would like to dedicate to SarcasticFreaks. They helped inspire me for this chapter. :D
The song that I took… lyrics from was I'm Sexy and I Know It by LMFAO. (thanks S.F.)
Edit: Hey guys, sorry that these uploads have been so far between. It's not that I don't have inspiration. I have lots- and most of them are actually already written. I just... my life and Cat's, are very busy. And I know that some people might say it's not an excuse, but whatever. And it's not like we get a lot of people saying they can't wait for more...none actually, so I hope you don't mind to much. Have a great one!
