Laney's POV
I was tuning my bass as the girl right next to me started talking. "Hi! I'm Jasmine! It's really nice to meet you! Why are you trying out for Grojband?" I shrugged. "I know one of the members and after that... I don't really know.""What?! Which member do you know?!" This girl seems very loud. "Corey Riffin. I have classes with him at school. I don't know that other members though." She nodded. "So you don't know Grojband at all set for Corey." I shrugged. "I know he plays guitar. That's about it." She nodded again. "Corey is also the singer and leading man of the band. His witch of a sister Trina always tries and make them fail though. That's why many girls here didn't bring there bass like you. They're afraid she'll break it." I nodded at this as I started playing random notes to warm up. "If she comes near my bass, I'll kill her. I'm not going to let the witch of the wicked west get her nasty hands on it." Jasmine smiled widely at this. "Awesome! Do you know ways to hurt people like karate or something?" I nodded. "I know some fighting skills that I picked up from my brothers over the years. It's what happens after having kick boxing matches in your back yard every summer." She smiled again. "Oh yeah, I din't get your name yet!" I smiled at this. "It's Laney Penn." She smiled again. "Sweet! Well, I'm next wish me luck!" I smiled. "Good luck!" I looked around me after she left. "Alone with music sheets. Might as well practice my song." I started playing my bass as I closed my eyes.
Puttin' my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack
Never put my love out on the line
Never said "Yes" to the right guy
Never had trouble getting what I want
But when it comes to you, I'm never good enough
When I don't care
I can play 'em like a Ken doll
Won't wash my hair
Then make 'em bounce like a basketball
But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear high heels
Yes, you make me so nervous
That I just can't hold your hand
You make me glow,
But I cover up
Won't let it show,
So I'm...
Puttin' my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack I think I'd have a heart attack I think I'd have a heart attack
Never break a sweat for the other guys
When you come around, I get paralyzed
And every time I try to be myself
It comes out wrong like a cry for help
It's just not fair
Pain's more trouble than love is worth
I gasp for air
It feels so good, but you know it hurts
But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear perfume for you
Make me so nervous
That I just can't hold your hand
You make me glow,
But I cover up
Won't let it show,
So I'm...
Puttin' my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack I think I'd have a heart attack I think I'd have a heart attack
The feelings got lost in my lungs
They're burning, I'd rather be numb
And there's no one else to blame (no one else)
So scared I take off and i run
I'm flying too close to the sun
And I burst into flames
You make me glow,
But I cover up
Won't let it show,
So I'm...
Puttin' my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack I think I'd have a heart attack I think I'd have a heart attack I think I'd have a heart attack I think I'd have a heart attack
I was startled when I began to hear clapping from my right. I looked over to see Jasmine, Corey and to my surprise the twins Kon and Kin standing there. "That was totally awesome!" Kin began. "You did it with your eyes closed too-" Kon added. "Nice touch." They ended. "Thanks you two." I seen Corey was smiling. "Awesome job Lanes! If you're not worried about Trina, you're Grojbandian." I smiled. "Oh I think she'll have to worry about me more then anything." The four started cheering. "Awesome! Thanks for the help Jasmine." She smiled. "Anytime guys! I Grojfanian will loyally help the band when she can! See ya guys at your next concert and congrats Laney!" I smiled and yelled back thanks after she started skating down the street. "So where's Lenny? Wouldn't he be here with you?" I shook my head no. "Usually but not today. He's trying out for a band too and I got a feeling that he got in." Corey gave me a weird look. "How would you know?" I smiled at him. "I can feel that he's happy." Corey smiled at this. "I'll never understand how twins do this." Kin and Kon then jumped in. "Twin powers are awesome!" They then air fist pumped each other. Right after laughing at the two with Core my phone went off. I looked at it to see it was Lenny. "I got to take this guys." I then walked over a bit away from the band. "Yo bro what's up?" I heard him chuckle on the other line. "One: Just got to be a official member of The Newmans." I smiled at this. "Awesome! Go on." He chuckled. "Knew you would say that and also two: Mom wants us home before dinner and Mike just called and told me that's in ten minutes." I nodded. "Alright. See ya at home." "See ya!" I hung up after that. "Sorry guys but I got to go. My mom wants me home in ten." They nodded. "We get it oh and also." Kin threw a t-shirt at me. "That's your member shirt. It's a large so tell us if it's to baggy on you." I smiled. "Thanks guys. I'll try it on later." They all smiled. "See you tomorrow for band practice at 3:00!" "I'll be there!" I made sure my bass' case was strapped to me before I started running home. After I arrived home Lenny was already at the door in a red baggy t-shirt that had a black fire in the middle with a N in the middle of the fire. It also said The Newmans in black under neath it. "Welcome home sis. You got a band t-shirt too?" I nodded. "Yeah. I got to try it out later. Did I make it in time?" He nodded. "Perfect timing. Come on in Grojbandian." I laughed at that. "Thanks Newman." We both laughed at each other as we enter our house. Only if we knew our band members might be friends off stage, but they're enemies on stage.
Sorry that this was late... My account didn't allow me to get to my story to update.
