Chapter 3- Summer Vacation part 2

Carrie's P.O.V.

A stupid hot breeze rolls into my stupid, already sweltering garage.

It's stupid summer. I hate summer. Sure we have fun, but I just hate it. Who care my birthday is in summer, I still hate it.

There are bugs like bees and wasps and hornets and june bugs and mosquitos, etc. Then there's the heat, which is so unbearable, we can't even practice so we lie on the stage and feel like dying 'cause it's so hot. And when I ask my dad if we can have an a/c in the garage, he always says no.

And there's the sticky feeling when you're too hot and your clothes stick to you and you have to peel them off. Its pretty grody and no fun.

I've always found it unfair that guys can take off their shirts and walk around and girls can't. At least with a swimsuit you can walk around without a shirt or pants on.

'Carrie! You're rambling! Again!,' a voice in my head said. 'Okay! I'll stop!,' I say to the voice.

Wait, where was I?... (A/N: ADD moment.)

Oh, yeah.. umm.. a hot breeze rolled into my garage. We haven't had a gig in almost 3 weeks and it's really starting to irk me. I think everyone else here feels the same. Stupid Grojband with their stupid gender bent dopplegangers of us. They can be so annoying sometimes.

I let out a sigh which in turn made a sigh round. It went: me, Lenny, Kim, and then Konnie. Konnie made a noise that sounds like Godzilla and Chewbacca mixed together. It was weirdly funny so I hold in my laugh and sigh one last time.

Stupidly and semi-rhetorically ask," Why is it so hot?"

Lenny responds," I don't know. You're the one wearing sleeves and a hat."

I tease,"Geez, don't be such a nag," I was going to add like a mom, but I don't feel comfortable saying stuff about my mom. (A/N: You'll see why in later chapters.) I pause for only about two seconds and he doesn't seem to notice so I shoot him a sarcastic look, a signature look of his. "You're wearing jeans, how aren't you hot?"

I thought he was going to ask," Sexy hot or warm hot?", to continue with the joke and make me laugh. He seems to love to do that. It's one of my favorite things about him: the ability to make me laugh.

"That's true. Yeah, I am hot, but a hat holds in all your head heat," says Lenny matter-of-factly.

"Fine, naggy pants. I'll take off my hat," I say while pulling the orange beanie off of my head. My blue bangs fall messily onto my face. They can be so annoying but I like the way they look so I keep them. I try to pull my bangs back unsuccessfully. All I need to hold them in place is a barrette or a bobby pin. I think I have one in my skirt pocket.

With one hand holding my bangs, I shove my left hand in my left skirt pocket. Something brushes against my hand so I grab it and pull it out. Turns out it was a quarter and a piece of gum who knows how old it is. I shrug my shoulders and open the wrapper to reveal a green colored piece of gum that smells of mint. I like mint so I put it in my mouth and found out it was mint chocolate chip ice cream flavored. (A/N: Yes it is actually a thing. It's really good. My dad says I'm weird for being the only one who eats mint ice cream 'cause it's gross.)

I switch my hands so know my left hand is holding my bangs and my right hand fishes in my pocket. I pull out a random bouncy ball and a dime. Geez, how much pants money do I have?, I think. (A/N: My friend one had money in her pants and it just sounds weird so we tease her about all the time. Well we did in school at least.) I feel something touching my leg so I stick my hand in my pocket to find… a pink mouse cat toy.

So that's where Muffins' toy went. How long has it been in here? How'd it even get in here, I question myself. Muffins is my orange tabby with dark orange stripes (Seen in Super Zeroes.). We've been looking for this toy in my hand for just less than a month. Three weeks maybe. Then it clicked, maybe this toy is our good luck charm and if we don't have it, we'll lose our gigs to Fromage-band.

I stuffed it back and my pocket and made a note to me. Two notes – note 1: give the toy back to Muffins and note 2: check other pockets for money.

A voice made me jump as it was almost in my ear. I turn to Lenny who said," Kim's gone." I shoot him a look of 'dude what the hey-hey.' We have some sort of a staring contest and I say," Do you know when she left or where she went?"

His eyebrows crease and I ask again after closing my eyes. And he replies no for both questions. He looks towards the door and nods and looks back up, almost thinking I didn't see him. A confused look crossed my face and I just pass it off as something like maybe he was trying to get comfy or something to that effect.

All of a sudden Kim's voice comes from behind and says," Boo!", which scares me out of my skin and I grab the closest thing next to me; Lenny. Well this is awkward, sort of, I think. It's its own kind of awkward. Grabbing the only male member of you band that no one seems to see as a male when it's quite obvious is awkward. So I end up blushing slightly as I mumble the word," S-Sorry." I let go of him and slowishly get up and semi-yell at Kim for scaring the bajeebers out of me.

I shoot her an evil glare and say," Kim, you know I hate it when you do that!" For some reason Lenny's face is red and her stutters out,"S-S-So, where'd you go?" And the two of them exchanged weird glances which made me eye them suspiciously. Why do people think I don't notice these things?

"I went to the store and got ice cream. When I was there I noticed a flyer." As if we didn't believe her, the pulled a green piece of paper from the bag and read. "Band need on pier at 7:00 Friday. First come first serve. If two bands show up at the same time, a small battle will decide which band will play. Hope to see you there!"

"Yay! We can finally beat Groj-barf and play a gig without them," I say almost forgetting what Kim did just seconds before. "C'mon Lenny, celebrate with me!" I grab his hands and pull him up and I bounce on my toes and he just stands there with the weirdest look on his face.

"What," I ask.

"You do realize todays Tuesday and it's only 3 days til Friday and we don't have a song. And we can't practice because of the heat," he said, being a total 'Debby downer'. "Geez Lens, don't be such a party pooper. When have I ever let you guys down and didn't have lyrics for a gig," I ask.

Konnie seems to have come back to life with the words 'ice cream' mentioned. The three of them shared a look of 'Is she kidding?' Kim speaks up," Do you remember the 4th of July party your dad had and he had us play and you couldn't come up with anything so we just did covers?"

I nod in shame, looking at the floor. And she didn't stop there she went through every single thing I haven't had lyrics to since the time we met. Does she have a book about this, I ask myself.

Lens could feel how bad I was feeling so he said," Okay, Kim. You can stop now. I think she gets it. And do you write down every single things that's happened since we met?" I looked up at the ground to meet his small smile as he says," Plus, she'll have help. I'm going to help her."

It would've been longer but now it's midnight and I have clarinet lessons tomorrow so I need to go to sleep. If anyone has song ideas, don't be shy, PM or review if you have something. Please and thank you.

Love you guys and I love how easily Carrie is scared. Gotta go. I'll try to update every week. Peace ~A-chan
