Recap: “So quick?”

 

Ryan’s P.O.V

 

William sighed. “Yes, so quick! I mean the semester has already started. We have to get there soon!” He replied enthusiastically. I opened my cell phone.

“No new messages.” It spoke aloud. Mrs. Beckett, William and Pete turned to me. Brendon looked at me too and he whisperered, “Shh!”

I quickly shut off my phone.

“Well, I guess it would be fine but –“

“YES!” William yelled, interjecting. Almost the whole time Mrs. Beckett was fiddling with her fingers. I guess would be a scary thought to having your child leave all the way across the country. It’s not like we were going to Africa or anything though.

“Shouldn’t we go inform your sister Bden that were going to Massachusetts?” I reminded him.

He nodded his head. “Right. Pete you should come with us too. Audrey would be dying to see you!”

Pete took a deep breath and then hissed her name, “Audrey.”

“Is Audrey coming with you guys?” Mrs. Beckett asked with a big smile on her face.

William and I nodded our heads.

“Brendon you have got to ask her to come over and make little mermaid cookies with me! I think it would be splendid!” Mrs. Beckett begged. I chuckled.

Brendon rubbed his neck. “Umm… yeah splendid. I’ll ask her.”

“Good luck trying to get Audrey to come over and bake cookies,” I whispered to Brendon, chuckling. Brendon rolled his eyes and then replied, “We’d better get going. We’ll see you later William.”

Everybody gave their good-byes. And then Pete, Brendon, and I went into Brendon’s car and drove to his apartment. Audrey should have been back from Pennsylvania by now. Pete, Brendon, and I waited for the elevator to go to the top floor. That’s where Brendon, his little sister Audrey, and mother Mrs. Urie stayed. Brendon opened the door, it was unlocked so we knew she was home. Just as we all predicted she was home.

“AUDREY!” I yelled running toward her. She looked even hotter then she did before. Her white blonde hair with black streaks and turquoise tips now had hot pink tips.

“Hey Ryan.” She greeted me.

“Dude how was Penny?”

“FUCKING OFF THE HOOK! Dudes guess what? I got to see Bring Me The Horizon and everything! It was effin amazing!” She explained enthusiastically. I came over to sit beside her on the sofa in the living room.

“Pimp man!” I replied. I rubbed my nose. I was getting the sniffles. I continued, “You should have brought me.”

She laughed. “So you could hit on my friends the whole time?”

I shook my head. “No, I would hit on you’re friends the whole plane ride there then I’d hit on Pennsylvanian chicks!” I corrected her.

Audrey chuckled. “Right.”

“Dude did they have any chicks that –“

“Audrey we have big news!” Brendon interjected impatiently. I could see Pete in the background sighing and apparently Audrey did too.

“Pete stop sighing and come over here and give me a hug!” Audrey said smiling putting her hands out. He put his hands on his chest in disagreement.

“No.”

She rolled her eyes putting her hands by her side suddenly embarrassed. “Fine. But I’m going to sneak a hug at any time.”

He went into the kitchen. I could hear him making conversation with Miss Urie.

“WILLIAM GOT INTO A COLLEGE IN MASSACHUSETTS AND WERE GOING WITH HIM! WE WANT YOU TO COME!” I blurted out.

Brendon frowned. “I wanted to tell her.”

“Dude when?” She asked.

Brendon opened his mouth but I blurted out again, “January 13^th.”

Brendon rolled his eyes. Pete came back into the living room and onto the sofa.

“Can I come?” Audrey asked unknowingly.

“Yes, dumb shit! We were planning to invite you anyway.” Pete said rudely. Audrey frowned.

“Should I start packing now?”

“No, duh!” Pete snapped again. Audrey didn’t reply she just went up the staircase.

“Gosh Pete you’re so mean to my baby sister!” Brendon replied madly.

Pete just rolled his eyes.

“Massachusetts here we come!” I yelled. Brendon and Pete looking at me with there hands on their chest.

 

3 days later…

 

Pete’s P.O.V

 

My eyes snapped open. I could hear hard breathing and well I wasn’t quite sure. Maybe snoring? It was coming from behind me. I slowly turned to my side on the feather bed. I was at Brendon’s house… oh yeah I slept over for three days. Now I remember something. When my eyes reached the other side of the bed. I could see a hand coming out of the blankets. I screamed. Who the fuck was that?

“AHH!” The black silk blanket flew to the side. I saw the familiar figure. The dark brown hair, fucked up eyeliner in the morning, and the same frightened wide brown eyes I’ve ever seen. Ryan.

“Why the fuck are you sleeping in my bed? Didn’t Brendon put you in Audrey’s old room?” I snapped.

“I had a nightmare…” Ryan replied embarrassed. He rubbed his neck, still frightened.

I sighed. “This happened all three nights we were here!”

“Sorry…” he apologized frowning.

I rolled my eyes and then smiled. I rested my head gently back on the pillow. “It’s ok, I guess.”

He smiled back not frightened anymore. “Guess what today is?”

“My birthday?”

He shook his head. “AIRPLANE DAY!” Ryan corrected making baby airplane noises. I moaned going back under the black silk blankets. Once I realized I couldn’t get back to my beauty sleep I jumped up out of bed leaving Ryan snoring again. I turned on the lights. I opened the blinds to find the blinding sunlight. I loved Brendon’s house. He had an amazing view of the city. He could see basically every building in Chicago. There were tons of recording companies in view too. I turned around to see if Ryan was up now because he stopped snoring. He was.

“I’m going to go see if Brendon and Audrey are up.” I spoke quickly. He nodded his head jumping out of bed. “I’ll come.”

Without saying another word Ryan and I ran down the glass staircase. When we got to the hard wood floor we saw from a distance Brendon and Audrey cooking. Ryan ran quickly toward them. I walked. I didn’t want to be near Audrey. Eww. We always had problems. It all started when –

“Pete pancakes?” Brendon asked me breaking away from my thoughts. I realized I already walked into the kitchen. I nodded my head. I loved pancakes!

“Excited to see you’re parents Pete?” Audrey questioned. I shook my head.

“Awe why?”

“I could tell you but I’m not going to.” I said glaring at her.

“Should I go pack?” Ryan asked.

I pulled my glare on him and then chuckled. “You’re supposed to be already packed!”

“Yeah, dude William is going to be here any second!” Brendon proclaimed.

I laughed. “What time is it? Like seven AM?”

Brendon nodded his head. “About eight.”

William always came early.

Project Drama [Part 8]

 

Recap: Gerard.

 

Jeremy’s P.O.V

 

The lunch table was unusually quiet. Bella looking at Josh, Alice was looking Hayley, Hayley was looking at Alice, Zac was looking at Hayley and Patrick was looking at the cafeteria door. Rheagan wasn’t here yet. She usually walked with Bella and Patrick to the Cafeteria. So it was a bit quiet since usually Rheag would be giggling randomly, Bella would be disgusted looking at her food, Alice would happy and peculiar like always, Hayley well… I was just getting to know her, Zac would be talking to me about our band in the making, Patrick would be socializing with Rheag, and I’d be doing my little thing.

I turned over to Zac. He wasn’t looking at me anymore.

“Hi guys!” I heard that regular upbeat happy voice. That was Rheagan’s voice!

“Thank God. Finally! Where have you been?” I asked worried. Not really worried… I was just getting sick of the silence.

“Yeah, where have you been!?” Patrick asked skeptically. I saw small figure behind her.

“Hey guys. I would like you to meet my new friend, Nicole Sontare. She just moved her with her brother Shaant.” Rheag explained. When she said the name Shaant, she slowly pointed to a boy with long hair about a centimeter above his shoulders.

“Hey Nicole,” I welcomed. Everybody else just waved.

 

Jessica’s P.O.V

 

The lunch room seemed lonesome. Out of no where I felt a light tap on my shoulder. I didn’t turn around just to continue to eat my Sushi. Claire across the table looked at me with a little smirk.

“Josh,” she said looking up away from my face. I slowly turned to find Josh with a big smile.

“Hey Jess.” He spoke, his voice was loud and clear.

I grinned at him. “Hey Josh.”

He looked over at Blair who was sitting right beside me. She rolled her eyes and then laughed. “Oh uh Claire and Emily remember we have to go do that thing?”

“What thing?” Emily asked clueless. I saw Claire nudge her.

“The thing!” She spoke loud grabbing Emily’s arm and leaving off with Blair.

“Anyway…” he trailed off not continuing looking away.

I chuckled. “So?”

“I was wondering if you were doing anything this Friday… or Saturday or… Sunday?!”

I giggled. Yeah, I giggled. “I can’t on Friday but maybe on Saturday.”

He looked up at me he smiled. “Great!” he said enthusiastically.

“So, I’ll see you later?” He asked. I nodded my head. Then he trailed off over to Pete. Josh is so cute, I thought to myself. I quickly grabbed my lunch tray and purse and then got up and walked over to the trash can and emptied out the rest of my lunch in the slot thingy and then put the tray on top. I put my purse to the side and then looked down walking out of the Cafeteria. Clumsy as I was I bumped into somebody as I went out of the door. I was looking down the whole way to the door so I didn’t see anybody coming near me. I was on the ground by that time. When I did realize I was on the Cafeteria floor I looked up and there he was. The guy from the party… better known as Shaant Hacikyan.

“Hello.” The quiet innocent voice spoke.

“H-Hi,” I stuttered.

“I’m sorry,” he apologized and grabbed my books jumping up to his feet.

“I should be the one saying sorry,” I mumbled hoping he wouldn’t hear.

“No, no it’s ok.” He heard me. He handed my books.

“I’m sorry,” he repeated looking at me intensely in my eyes and then continued, “my name is Shaant Hacikyan. You must be Jessica White?”

I did a weak grin. “Yeah, how’d you know?”

He bit his lower lip. “I know everybody.” He chuckled. I was going to do a weak laugh but nothing came out.

“Oh.” I replied dully.

“Well, see yeah later. I have to go to P.E.”

What a coincidence.

“I have P.E next.” I replied. My cheeks started to get red. Now my embarrassment was showing… when he could see me properly.

“Do you want to walk with me to gym?” He asked quiet his voice clear and solemn.

I shook my head. “I have to meet my uh friend… I’ll see yeah later.” I quickly left. I heard a low voice when I was already trailing off I tried to push the sweet voice out of my head.

 

I didn’t have anybody to meet with but I quickly socialized with Amy when I got there. Shaant wasn’t there though. So much for my luck. But Josh was there. After school it was the usual routine I went with Blair to her house where later on Claire and Emily came over and we all hung out.

 

Alice’s P.O.V

 

As soon as I got home I phoned Hayles and she rushed to my house. I was so eager to find out what her big secret was I didn’t realize I was so exhausted from volley-ball practice. I felt so anxious.

“TELL ME!” I basically screamed when we got in my room.

“Ok, I’ll explain,” she started and then looked away from me to look at the floor. It was silent for a couple of moments well she thought.

“EXPLIAN!” I got impatient.

“Well, ok you know Zac I-“

“What about me?” Zac smiled walking in from my window. I rolled my eyes.

“What? You honestly weren’t joking about me coming over?” He was getting mad… I laughed. Hayley sighed.

“Forget it.”

Zac frowned at me. “Well, I was wondering if you guys wanted to go to the Arcade?” He walked out from near the window and went near me examining my msn conversation on the computer on my desk. I punched Zac in the arm and widened my eyes. “Zac stop reading my convo!”

He rolled his eyes and went to sit with Hayles on the bed. There was a knock on the door. “GERARD GO AWAY!” I yelled.

“It’s me.” A quiet mutter spoke. Right away I knew it was Mikey.

“Come in.” I stated as I rolled my eyes. He slowly opened the door and looked around the room.

“Where are the rest of your friends? Patrick, Rheagan… Bella?” He asked quietly.

I rolled my eyes. “Get out!” I started to shove him out the door but he kept attempting to come back.

“Wait, wait! You guys are going to the Arcade… can I come?”

“No, were not inviting Jeremy Mikey!”

“Please?”

In the corner of my eye I saw Hayley and Zac roll their eyes and sigh in the background.

“Alice just let Mike come.” Zac told me. I laughed.

“No, thanks,” I replied.

“OK thanks, Zac. Is Bella and them coming?”

“We were just about to call them up!” Hayley said enthusiastically and jumped to her feet and grinned. She took out her cell phone from her pocket and dialed somebody’s number.

“Hey,” her voice was shaky very shaky. “Yeah, were going to the Arcade with Alice, Zac, and Mikey. Call Bella and Jeremy too. Ok. Ok. Bye Rheag. Say I said bye to Patrick too.”

I heard Mikey sort of jump when he heard Bella’s name.

“Were meeting Bella, Jeremy, Rheag, and Patrick at the Arcade.” She exclaimed.

 

When we got there Jerms, Rheag, Patty, and Bella were already there. Rheag and Patrick came over to meet us and Jeremy and Bella were into a game of DDR.

“Hey!” Rheagan shouted through the loud music.

“Hey.” I said in a low voice. Hayles and Zac ran over to play air hockey. It was just Mikey, Patrick, Rheagan, and me.

“Guess who’s here?” Rheagan said rolling her eyes. “Gerard, Josh, Blair, Joe, and Emily.”

Mikey sighed. “Eww.”

“Bella must be happy,” I spoke as I looked over to her playing DDR with Jeremy. I seen her look at Josh occasionally.

“Why?” Mikey asked curiously.

“Well, Josh is here.” I exclaimed.

“PAC MAN IS FREE!” Patrick yelled running over to the Pac Man game.

“I’m going to go with Patty. Were all going to play laser tag right away. Are you guys joining?” Rheagan asked slowly backing up toward the Pac Man game.

Mikey and I nodded our heads.

 

Gerard’s P.O.V

 

Joe, Josh, and I walked to the girls.

“Can we leave?” Emily asked in boredom.

I rolled my eyes.

“Yeah, Gee can we leave and you guys can just stay here?” Blair squeaked out.

“No, not yet! Were going to play laser tag right away!”

“PLEASE!” She pleaded. Josh chuckled.

“Yeah, I’m sure Jess is waiting for you guys. You guys can come pick us up after.” Josh spoke casually.

“YEAH!” Emily hollered. I laughed.

“Well, losers just came in. Plus my brother and sister are here too so we could face them in laser tag. Can you guys just stay here for one game? Please?” I asked with my famous puppy dog eyes and crooked smile.

Blair giggled. “Fine,” she spoke pecking me on the nose.

“BLAIR NO! Jess is waiting so we have to go!”

“Please…Emm?” Joe spoke doing his famous puppy dog eyes.

Emily rolled her eyes. “Nope, I’m not giving in.”

“Pretty please with a cherry on top?” Joe frowned looking sadder and sadder each time he spoke.

Emm sighed. “Whatever, but when we play laser tag I’m not going to try and-“

“YAY!” Joe jumped in the air. Josh and I chuckled well Joe pulled Emm into a big bear hug.

“Can’t breathe,” she managed to choke out.

“This is so gay where at an Arcade.” Emily sagged.

“Yeah,” Blair agreed. I frowned dropping my smile.

“Try to have fun,” Joe suggested. The girls laughed.

“Chicks,” Joe said rolling his eyes.

“Chicks,” I agreed.

 

Katelyn’s P.O.V

 

I looked at the big clock above the stove in Beth’s kitchen. It was 2 o’clock. I had to be home right away.

“Beth I got to go… my parents are going to get mad.”

She rolled her eyes. “Your parents always get mad. When are they not mad?”

“Never…” I admitted. Beth sighed.

“What do they make you sleep in the bathroom? Is that your bedroom or something?” She asked.

I chuckled looking away. “Pfft… no,” I lied.

“Well, then I guess I’ll see you at school tomorrow.” She greeted good-bye. I waved as I went outside of her bedroom running past her little sister Tiffany and then out the door I went. I ran so fast I bumped into a pole but it didn’t hurt. Faster…I had to run faster!

Testosterone Boys & Harlequin Girls [Part: 1]

 

William’s P.O.V

 

It was already the New Year. 2008. I felt like I should have done something more boisterous and enjoyable instead of sit around with my friends and look up movie star’s pictures on the internet on New Years Eve. My parents told me I was obligated to do more. But with my friends Pete and Ryan nothing could get done. I mean I was 18… in adulthood. Pete and Ryan were still just reckless teenagers. Not literlly they just... acted like that. It was already ten days past the New Year and the only thing I’ve done is sit around and wait for college acceptance letters. Pete came over every single day to agonize me of not getting into college. I did just it’s taking awhile for the mail to come. Brendon Urie my mature friend though was on my side and was supportive. He knew as well as I knew that I’d get in to a great college. I applied to every single college that had anything with the title, ‘art’ or ‘photography.’ I wanted to pursue my dream in photography or perhaps became an artist (painter). I applied to universities all over the country like: Academy of Art University in California, Boston University in Columbia, International Academy of Design & Technology in Florida and Art Institute of Atlanta in Georgia. I applied for way more of course but those were the ones I really wanted to get into. I heard a loud bang at the door. It was Pete, Ryan, and Brendon. I went out of my bedroom and scurried down the stairs. I peeked through the little hole on the door. It was all three of them.

“Yo! Will open up!” Pete shouted. I sighed as I unlocked and opened the door.

“Hey guys,” I welcomed them inside.

“Hey Will!” Ryan said enthusiastically. They both hoped onto the dusty sofa. Brendon just stood.

“Guess who get some responses for some college’s bro?” Ryan shouted. My eyes widened. I looked at Ryan and he was holding a bunch of letters.

“You couldn’t have got into college!”

“But I did!” He spoke in a low pitch voice.

“No, you didn’t.” I denied. He rolled his eyes.

“I didn’t. But you did!”

“No, I didn’t.” I denied again hopelessly.

“Yes, you did!” He assured me handing me the stack of envelopes. I looked on the first title:

 

Natalie Baroque.

 

My Grandmother wrote to me. She was very special to me, considering she is the wildest person I’ve ever met. Ryan, Brendon, and Pete loved her. I quickly looked on the next envelope the title was:

 

Truro Center for the Arts (Cape Cod, Massachusetts).

 

I threw down my Grandma’s letter my hands shaking when I started to tare apart the envelope. I shied away from the letter to afraid to read it. I shivered… what if I didn’t get in.

Brendon rolled his eyes. “Give me the letter,” he suggested. Right away I threw him the response from Truro Center for the Arts. He caught it and began to read it to himself.

“WELL, READ IT OUT LOUD!” I said sharply. I winced.

“I’m sorry our semester has already begun but we did enjoy your application very much and were happy to inform you that you did get accepted to Truro Center for the Arts!” Brendon answered in enthusiasm.

Pete jumped up from the sofa and came over and gave me a bear hug. “I knew you’d get into an awesome college!”

I pulled out of the tight bear hug. “Yeah, you were very supportive. “ I said sarcastically. He was the one who told me everyday that I wasn’t going to get into one.

“So when do we go to Cape Cod?” Ryan asked me.

“We?” I said confused.

“Yeah, us? You don’t honestly think we were going to let you go to Cape by yourself. You’d never phone us or anything. Besides, Pete and I have nothing better to do.” He explained.

“Yeah, and my mom has been dying for me to come home and visit her. I think we should all go to Cape Cod.”

I looked over at Brendon who was grasping every little chunk of this Cape Cod idea. Apart of looked like he was about to give in and say yes…

“Yeah, William we should all go together. I’m not going to college until next year. So I’m going to be free for awhile.” Brendon exclaimed. He gave in… so quickly too. I was shocked. I didn’t expect this from him. Brendon would have said something more like this, “Absolutely not! We’d all drive each other nuts!” Pete and Ryan obviously sucked him into this.

“No.” I replied dully.

Pete rolled his eyes. “I take that as a yes.”

“How can you take a no and put it into a yes?”

“Simple you just forget you said no and then pretend you said yes.”

“PETE I’M NOT GOING TO CAPE COD WITH YOU GUYS!” I yelled my voice breaking.

“William why not? Were probably never going to see each other ever again. Will all just go for a year anyway,” Brendon encouraged. I rolled my eyes. Brendon was really falling through with this?

“No.”

“Will please,” Pete begged. “You are always telling us to get a life… well a good one anyway and with this chance we can. In Cape Cod they have a lot of writing classes and other universities there. This could be helping us too.” Pete explained.

“Yeah, but when I’m studying or something you’ll be in my way.”

“No, we won’t!” Ryan assured me. I sighed. I looked back on all the other times. When I was actually studying in High School for exams they’d be nagging me to play basketball or something. Brendon on the other hand would be nagging them to get out.

“If they do I will do what I do best. Throw them out of the house and lock all the doors. That way you can study and I’ll be ably to read or something.”

Yeah, Brendon was right. He’d always done that when I got annoyed of them.

“Fine!” I quickly squeaked out before I could change my mind about anything.

“YES! So… when do you have to be in Cape Cod?” Pete asked staring me down.

I grabbed the acceptance letter from Brendon and read it out through my head until I found some kind of date.

Then I answered him, “January 20^th.”

“Dude that’s like perfect timing! My parents won’t care heck they kicked me out… what about you Brendon and Pete?” Ryan asked blinking around everybody.

Pete rolled his eyes. “I believe my parents live in Cape Cod.”

“They will be a little self-conscious. But they will end up letting me… but only if I bring my sister.” Brendon responded.

“My parents aren’t going to be too happy with you guys coming with me.” I said. My father hated Pete and Ryan. My mother thought they were lovely of course... and my father loved Brendon.

“But do you guys really want Audrey to come?” Brendon asked us.

“Well, I don’t mind your sister coming with us. Audrey’s hot.” Ryan insisted.

“Sure she can come. She’s cool.” I agreed.

“Pete? What do you think of Audrey coming with us?”

“I don’t want her coming.” Pete quickly responded.

 “So it’s settled. Audrey is coming.” Brendon replied wary.

Pete sighed.

“Now we tell our parents,” I instructed.

“Not right now… I’ll tell my parents later. Let’s just watch some T.V or something.” Ryan replied. He grabbed the clicker and turned it on to MTV. Brendon grabbed a book on the little bookshelf by the T.V I just sat with Pete on the sofa and pretended to watch T.V I was thinking of what to say to my father who will be very optimistic about me going to a college. But with Pete and Ryan? This was going to very hard. They were going to find out from Brendon’s parents defiantly. So I had to think of something fast.

“William?” My mother questioned. She came through the door with 2 huge bags of groceries. I had absolutely no time to think about what to say to my father. Or did I?

“Is dad with you?”

“Nope, he’s coming home in an hour.” She replied.

I did have time. I’m lucky.

“That’s too bad because I have big news,” I said getting up from the couch and coming to help her with the groceries. She looked at me and then at the guys.

“What’s the news?” She asked grinning widely. Pete smirked.

“William got into college!” Brendon announced excitedly. I quickly put the big bag of groceries on the counter and ran by my mother’s side.

“OH MY GOSH!” She yelled. Her hands let go of the big bag, knowing this would happen I quickly caught it before it hit the floor.

My mom not caring that she almost dropped half the groceries came up and gave me a gentle hug. I went to put the big paper bag of groceries on the counter.

“Which one?”

“Truro Center of the Arts… it’s in Massachusetts.” I exclaimed.

“Massachusetts? That’s on the other side of the country! Are you crazy?” My mom started to panic. Well, she is grasping this very well. I didn’t realize the distance between Chicago and Cape Cod.

“I think I’m pretty sane actually,” I joked. Ryan and Pete laughed. My mother’s eyes were still in shock obviously not seeing my jocular tone.

“William that’s too far away! Can’t you just wait until you hear from Columbia Art Chicago?”

I sighed. Yeah, so I could stay in Chicago forever. Yeah, right.

“Actually, mother I did get a letter from them… I didn’t get accepted,” I lied eyeing Brendon, Ryan, and Pete.

“You did?” Pete asked confused. He obviously didn’t get my little scheme.

“Yeah, remember?” I said eyeing him one more time.

“I don’t care you are still not going to Massachusetts!” She yelled walking back to the kitchen. We all followed her into the kitchen.

“Well, actually Pete, Ryan, and Brendon are coming with me. So I don’t get depressed or do anything stupid.” I explained as she put away the groceries.

She took a deep breath.

 Her voice was soft when she spoke, “William that’s really far away. You’d probably never visit.”

I rolled my eyes. “I’ll visit Christmas, Easter, like every single holiday!” I promised.

“Well, your father won’t be too happy with Pete and Ryan coming with you.” She explained.

“Well, dad is going to have to get over it because I’m going to Cape Cod, Massachusetts!” I shouted running back into the living room trying to watching Run’s House on MTV. I hate this show.

“Mrs. Beckett Will is going to be fine. We’ll take good care of him. We will make him come home for each occasion… and I’ll make him study his hardest!” Brendon assured her. I sighed loudly hoping everybody heard me. I turned my head to see my mother’s face. Her eyes stared me down.

“William do you really want to go to Truro?” Mother asked me. I rolled my eyes.

“No, duh,” I said in a very girly voice. She took another deep breath and then sighed.

“I suppose you should tell your father through dinner.”

I jumped up from the sofa and ran into the kitchen. I gave her a big hug and then kissed her on the cheek.

“Love yeah ma’.”

She rolled her eyes. “When are you guys leaving?” She asked curiously.

“I’m – were leaving probably to the airport on the 13^th and then we’ll be there for the 18^th.” I replied a bit wary.

She gasped. “So quick?”

It's not good chapter... just to get things started off with. Next chapter might be short.. which will be crappy. But the third one should be could. No girls are introduced in this one... if that's ok? It's the boys time to shine. lmao. It might have bad grammar in this chapter. I think I got all the errors. I only went through it once. =( I usually go through it so many times... perfectionist. haha. Hope you guys enjoy it. =D

Preface:

 

William’s P.O.V

 

Her face was like a suffering angel of glory. She had jet black hair that went down to her waist and she had dark red eyes. Contacts? I wasn’t possibly sure. Maybe I wasn’t looking clearly. I now knew that mermaids existed, but dark angel mermaids? This world has more fiction in it then we know of. She had a black tail and her face and neck were paper white. Her body was all black connecting to her tail and it was scaly with sharp thorns coming out of it. Maybe it wasn’t even a body? I didn’t bother to look up and even look in her eyes. I was too afraid. She looked more powerful then any other mermaid I’ve seen. Probably more powerful than Samantha and Missy.

“William,” the dark mermaid whispered. Her voice was soft, gentle, quiet, and horrifying to me. I didn’t want to look up into those dark evil red eyes that would make me faint or perhaps kill me.

“William,” she whispered again. I felt the water rush toward me. She was getting closer and closer. I felt blood rushing through my face. Then something touched me. It was her hand or something… and it felt like an ice cube but way colder. She was going to kill me. It was obvious. Samantha wasn’t here to save me this time. It was just me, useless and weak with no hope to defeat a dark mermaid goddess.

---

It's short... well, the preface is supposed to be short. If you don't get it... well it's a scene that's going to happen later in the fic. This is just so you get it. Damn right there is mermaids in my fanfiction. lmao. Good idea huh? You wish you thought of it... lol. I decided I'm not going to do a prologue. It would just be too hard... so yeah. I'll do flashbacks later. Anyway do you guys like the preface? Let me know!

I hope you still comment even if you didn't get accepted. Whoever got Samantha, and Missy won't come in until the 3/4 chap. I hope that's ok.. I'll post the preface later. You'll get it when you read it. btw the preface is something full of drama that's going to happen later in the story.

=D sorry to nobody who got in. =( Hope you still comment. & tell me if you read fanfic... I love reading anything!

I'm not closing down Project Drama... I'm going to post a new chapter of that tonight. But I wanted to do another fanfiction and see if I could handle two of them. I'm allowing 4 people to come in. I don't want like 10 people like it is in Project Drama. That's too complicated. This is who is going to be in the fanfiction:

Pete Wentz - Fall Out Boy
Ryan Ross - Panic! At The Disco

William Beckett - The Academy Is...

Only apply if you like them, please. You can apply for these characters:

Missy Black - She has fairly long hair (it goes down an inch below her shoulders), her hair is dark brown, she has big blue eyes, she isn't human also, very powerful also, she's very shy and quiet, loves to read, very smart, and get's Brendon Urie.

Audrey Urie - She's Brendon's sister, punk kind of type, she has white blonde hair with black streaks and turquoise tips, she wears alot of band t's, she hangs out with the boys, and she get's Pete Wentz.

Brittany Baroque - Is Samantha's sister, she is very out going, has a few depression problems, she's very heart broken, she has light brown hair, dark beautiful green eyes, very sweet and nice, and she get's Ryan.

You are probably thinking, "wtf very powerful? investibility? not human?" I will post a prologue and a preface. So you'll get the picture of what it's about. So you can apply for Audrey, Brittany, Missy, or Samantha. Here is the form:

Project Drama [Part: 7]

 

Recap: Wow.

 

Isabella’s P.O.V

 

Alice, Zac, and Hayley no sight of. Patrick and Rheagan were doing there little thing. Jeremy, I couldn’t quite find him and I was sick of watching these guys get drunk. I mean Josh as too but he left already… so I walked up the stairs. I was just exploring through the hallway. I tried to find Blair’s bedroom. It must looked better then mine. I found a, ‘Top Bitch’ sign on the door. I tried it.

“EWW!” I yelled out. There was a couple or something on the bed. It wasn’t Blair’s room. Blair would have been pissed off though. I shut it quickly. I checked a few more bedrooms all with the same images. Right when I was going to open the door to another bedroom there was Mikey. I smiled.

“Hey Mikey,” I greeted him. I guess I was opening the door to the bathroom.

“Hi. What’s up? I didn’t know you were coming.” He kept smiling hard.

I chuckled. “Yes, you did. If Alice did, I did.”

Mikey laughed. We both started to walk down the stairs and we went past the band area and then outside. We went sort of by the pool near Andy Hurley and Ray Torro. Mikey said a shy hi and then we were just chilling out. Mikey and I were talking about random shit.

“So have you decided to come to the Mayday Parade concert with Gerard, Josh, and me?” He asked me. I nodded my head without thinking.

“You really are going with us?” He asked still unsure. I already said yes… I shouldn’t have done that.

I nodded my head once more. “I will. But Alice cannot find out!”

“She will not,” He assured me patting my back.

“Wait I can’t!” I shouted a bit loud. Too loud because Andy looked over at us.

“Why not?” He frowned. Well, I can’t because I have a debutante meeting. No, that’s go too gay to say out loud.

He chuckled. “What time do you have the debutante meeting at?”

So I said it out loud… gay gay gay.

 

Emily’s P.O.V

 

I saw Joe socializing with Pete and Gerard. He glanced at me and he met my gaze. I quickly put my eyes to something random. I looked mechanically at Bella and Mikey talking. I moved my head to Blair talking to some random guy. I took one more glance at Joe and then I saw him looking at me smiling coming toward me. I looked around me. I sprinted to go over the hill. There was a random guy who I bumped into. He had a white tee-shirt that had nice thick bold letters that spelt, ‘THRICE.’ He was wearing blue jeans with a black belt.

“Hi James uh can you distract that one guy,” I told the random boy pointing to Joe.

“His name is Joe. Just distract him for me. Make sure he doesn’t come near me James!” I started to panic as he made his way up the hill.

“It’s Jeremy.” He said.

“I don’t care! Distract him!” I said speed walking down the hill and hurrying through people running into the house. That dream was probably nothing! I had to confront him sometime, I thought as I ran up the stairs going into Blair’s room. I scurried a couple away and then I sat on her bed, motionless. I looked the door so I would be alone and so I could think.

I had a plain old nightmare. Not a dream a nightmare. Whatever! What the fuck was the difference? It was just a nightmare of my boyfriend (to be exact Joe) using a nice shiny butcher knife and the glides it across my neck. It’s not like it will ever happen to me. I heard a slow knock on the door. I sighed. Most likely it was another couple.

“HELLO! WHO THE FUCK IS IN THERE! WHO LOCKED MY DOOR?” It was Blair. I took a deep breath. Let’s hope Blair makes my dream, scratch that nightmare go away! I sighed one more time and then got up from her big bed and unlocked the door.

“Oh hey Emm,” she started to calm down, taking deep breaths.

“Blair,”

“Look who was looking for you?” She interrupted smiling opening the door more and then there he was. Joe. I clenched my fists together. Then he slowly floated toward me. Blair was smiling tightly.

“I’m not letting you guys out,” she giggled with a key in her hand. Then she closed the door.

“NO!” I shouted in panic. Then I slowly heard her lock us in. OH GREAT!

His eyes were shining very, very, very bright. They were as dark as it was in my dream. I gulped.

“Hello,” Oh gosh! He sounded as sweet as he did in my dream too. But I looked down in his pocket. No, butcher knife.

“What’s wrong Emm? You’ve been ignoring me all day. The whole party… and you…” Joe kept babbling more about me ignoring. I pretended I was listening. I got up from the bed and went over to look through Blair’s room. He thought I was listening so that was good enough for me.

“Come sit by me, Emm.” I heard him say. I slowly and quietly walked toward him. I just lay on the bed not facing him.

“Talk to me,” his voice was mellow now.

“Hi.” I gave him a stupid response. He’d start babbling any second…

“Emm, give me more! How come you have been ignoring and…” yep, he kept babbling. I was exhausted and stressed of thinking of this idiotic dream. My eye lids shut. He kept talking and talking. So surely, he didn’t notice I was started to fall asleep.

“I’m tired.” I spoke, my eye lids still shut. He lay beside me. I rested my head on his chest. I was sleeping now.

 

My eye lids seemed tired but I knew I was up. I was confused where I was. If I was in another nightmare! It looked exactly as my last nightmare was. There was a light figure in the water chair. Oh no! I panicked. My eyes wouldn’t fully open.

“Hello.” His voice sounded exactly how sour-sweet it sounded in the nightmare. Exactly. I fought to open my eyes, but they wouldn’t. Then I felt Joe slowly come on my bed.

“Emily open your eyes.” I opened them. They actually let me. I closed them quickly and then back open.

“Good morning.” I gasped. He looked, sounded, and even smelt the way he did in my dream. I looked through the window. It wasn’t sun but there was the moon and then there was flash. It was probably like 2 AM or something. I forced myself look down but then a loud boom came. I heard a bunch of screaming.

“Cops!” Joe started to panic. He grabbed my hand and he tried to open the door.

“Blair locked it!” I started to get mad.

“Window.”

 

Blair’s P.O.V

 

I turned away from Frankie as the cops were right there looking very, very, pissed off.

“Hold it, hold it everybody!” The cops said in a quick halt. What we were going to get off the hook for having a drug, alcoholic, intercourse, and kind of party? I thought to myself. Nobody listened, everybody started to pile out. But me.

 

FLASHBACK

 

“WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS IS A HOTEL?” I started to yell as I went through all the rooms with couples in them. It started to get quiet downstairs. I bit my lip. It was either my parents came home early from Laguna Beach or the cops were there. I slowly went down the stairs. No cops. No parents. The Hush Sound appeared to be taking a break, everybody else were going outside. Perfect. I ran outside. On the big hill to the side of the hill, that’s were The Hush Sound was setting up. New location. Claire signaling me to come up. She was standing beside the two lead singers of the band, Greta and Bob. I ran over toward her.

“What are we doing?” I whispered. She nodded her head quickly.

She started to announce, “Thank you everybody who came to the party! Jocks, cheerleaders, drama club,” her voice got lower frowning, “chess club.”

“Yeah, all losers and geeks please make your way over to security. Anyway, I hope you like The Hush Sound! In an hour they will be throwing out free c-d’s with their autograph on it.”

A bunch of screaming came from the pool. I laughed.

“Enjoy The Hush Sound!” Claire yelled. We both chuckled as they screamed.

Bob started to sing, “My heart has lost its wind now,”

Claire went off of the hill on the left side and I went off on the right side. I went quietly inside the house. It looked so messy! Randolph and wasn’t going to clean It up.

“What the fuck are you doing here emo boy?” Not him again. Frankie.

“What? I was just checking it out. Just to see The Hush Sound. I wanted to get a record deal.” He explained. I chuckled.

“A record deal? What do you play rhythm guitar?”

His face fell. “Yes, actually I do.”

“Loser. You won’t get a record deal with Fueled By Ramen. I bet you’re the only band member your band has.”

He rolled his eyes. “I’m also in it with Mikey Way, Ray Toro, Bob Bryar, and then myself.”

“What exactly do they play?” I wasn’t interested. I just wanted to laugh more.

“I play rhythm guitar, Mikey plays bass, and Bob plays drums.” He replied.

“Lead singer?”

“Eh, we don’t have one yet.” He answered shamelessly. I chuckled.

“So then you won’t get a record deal with Fueled By Ramen. Now leave.”

“But-“

“Security!”

“I’ll call the cops. You do have illegal drugs, and almost everyone at this party is underage.”

“Pfft. You wouldn’t.”

Soon enough he picked up the phone and dialed three numbers. I shivered. But then I knew he was just playing with me.

“Hi this is Frank Iero. I’m calling to report a gay ass party. Yep. Illegal drugs and alcohol. Everybody is mostly underage. I’m also calling because there has been noise complaints.”

Oh my gosh.

“Why the fuck did you do that?” I panicked.

 

 FLASHBACK

 

The police looked around. “Everybody freeze.”

Frank let out a small chuckle. Everybody started to rush through the police and get out of the door. Fuck. Claire and Jessica were running past me.

“See yeah tomorrow!” They yelled running. I rolled my eyes.

“Great party!” Somebody randomly shouted out. When everybody was gone it was just me.

Oh Great.

 

Nicole Sontare (Melanie)’s P.O.V

 

“Hurry up Shaant I don’t have all day!” I kept nagging him. He rolled his eyes and grabbed his Taking Back Sunday backpack. I got it for him for Christmas.

“Take my car. I’m just going to watch T.V for awhile.” He replied carelessly.

I rolled my eyes.

“Shaant you have to go to school!” I complained. He chuckled.

“Nicole chill out. I promise I’ll be at school.”

Yeah right.

“No you won’t. I’m not going alone! You’re coming with me!” I was basically yelling now.

“Fine,” Shaant gave up. I chuckled. I threw him the keys for the new Lexus convertible we got for Christmas.

 

When we arrived to Madsen High, I was immediately attracted to it. It looked so beautiful. There were at least 10 buildings.

“Oh my gosh, I said shocked without looking at Shaant. I didn’t know it was going to look this nice. I quickly ran into the first building and then ran to the secretary.

“Nicole Sontare.” I spoke softly. She got the instructions to my classes and a map of the school I had more time to study the office.

“Your first class starts fifteen minutes. All your classes are highlighted on the map. Here is your locker number,” the secretary said as she handed me all the sheets for class.

“Shaant Hacikyan.” Shaant came in out of no where. She said the same thing to Shaant she said to me. We walked to our lockers.

“What’s your first class?” I asked Shaant.

He looked at his list. “Chemistry,” he replied.

“Oh I have Biology.”

“What’s the rest of your classes?”

“Physics, Calculus, English, Chemistry, Trigonometry.” I listed.

“I have Trigonmetry at fifth period too. I’ll meet you there.”

Without saying good-bye we both went our separate ways to go find our locker. I put my coat and purse in my locker and then quickly shut it.

“Hello.” A quiet voice spoke. I jumped when I heard the voice. I turned around there was a very, very pretty girl. She had platinum blonde hair down to the middle of her back. She was wearing a short red dress with white polka dots. She looked extremely pretty… it kind of annoyed me. Her hair was perfectly cut, and she had really nice wide green eyes.

“Hi…” I said looking away.

“Are you new?” Her voice was gentle. I nodded my head looking back at her.

“My name is Rheag. Well, it’s Rheagan but I prefer you call me Rheag.” She put out her hand. I shook it. She smiled brightly. Oh God she was like a model…

“My name is Nicole.”

Another bright smile…

“I think I saw you yesterday or something because you look oddly familiar. Did you by any chance go to a party last night?” She asked.

“Yes.” I did a weak smile.

“Do you know who was throwing the party by any chance?”

I nodded my head. “I think her name was Blair something – “

Her eyes got big. “Yeah! I saw you there!”

I did another weak grin. “Cool…”  I yawned trying my best to do a bigger smile. I was in such a grumpy mood.

“What’s your first class?”

I winced. She was pretty… too pretty.

“Biology,” I muttered.

“I see. I have History. How about you come sit with me at lunch with my friends?” She said waving to a girl with dark brown hair almost black. She had dark brown eyes too and her smile was just as big and bright as Rheagan’s was. She was wearing a Simple Plan tee-shirt and black straight jeans. She waved back.

“Ok,” I replied quickly.

“See yeah later!” She threw another bright smile and then met up with the dark brown haired girl.

 

Beth’s P.O.V

 

My first class Geography was boring which took way too long. That was a good thing though. Seeing how I had English next. With people I hate the most. (Cough Claire cough Emily cough Jessica cough Blair.) I was one of the first people there. So I had a few minutes left of sanity in me... until it was gone again. The other night I had to write too much notes and had way too much coffee to stay up and do notes and comprehension questions. I mean four people to give them all slightly different answers? How did that Amy girl survive last year?

“Hi bitch.” Blair tapped hard on my shoulder as she went to sit in her desk.

“H-Hi.” Welcome to the world of stuttering.

“Hello students. Did we all finish Chapter 2’s comprehension questions?” Ms. Adams talked. Yes, I did. I did fricken’ four copies!

“I’m going to give you guys a quick quiz on the first chapter. I want you guys to get at least 10 chapters read. Then I will hand out an assignment.” She glided toward us (Blair, Claire, Jessica, and me) and smiled at all of us.

“You guys did an impressive job on the comprehension questions. I’m impressed Claire.”

I sighed quietly rolling my eyes.

“Thank you, Ms. Adams.” Claire spoke with a quiet innocent voice.

Ms. Adams chuckled. “Keep it up guys!”

Blair elbowed me. “You are pretty smart. You just totally got us an A!” Claire muttered. Jessica rolled her eyes.

“Yeah, but I mean you guys didn’t even participate and –“ Jessica started to reply but then Blair cut her off.

“Jess knock it off. We don’t need the whole ‘we can do our own homework’ lecture.”

Jessica didn’t reply she turned her head back to the teacher.

I started to read the book in my head. I decided to do a little review on the first chapter.

 

Hannibal the grim (1365-1428) built Lector Castle in five years, sing for labor the soldiers he had captured at the Battle of Zalgiris. On the first day his pennant flew from the completed towers, he assembled the prisoners in the kitchen garden and, mounting his gallows to address them, he released the men to go home, just as he had promised. Many elected to stay in his service, owing to the quality of his provender.

 

I didn’t want to read the prologue again. The Mischa part was too terrifying. I didn’t even want to study or anything. I just wanted to go home lay in my bed and read my comic book.

 

Soon enough class was over and then it was lunch. I sat with Katelyn at the far end of the lunch room. Katelyn wanted stay away from the ‘social scene.’ I did too.

“The Hush Sound. Wow, I am so glad you talked me into going to that party!” She squealed. Her voice broke a few times.

“Yeah, I knew you wouldn’t regret it. Though I’m sorry that it did end up being Blair’s party…” I frowned facing away.

“It’s ok. It was worth it!”

“Yeah, I guess so.” I sounded very bored. My mind was somewhere else… Gerard.

Do you guys like it?

I took the 280 questioned quiz. This was my result.

I know, I know, life's not fair. I figured that out years ago. My life is spiralling down into a void of darkness which I cannot escape...Now, where was I? Ah, yes! Cheer up! It could be worse (I think) ! Now, you may not be the happiest person in the world, but you do have very good poetry skills. Look on the bright side! You could be an author when you're older. In fact, you're creative in general. A full round 'artist', maybe? And if you're going to cut, and you're going to cut deep, you could draw a picture with your blood! It was just an idea... I'm just saying, a new form of abstract art...blood on the walls!

Project Drama [Part: 6]

 

Recap: But she was on MSN.

 

Patrick’s P.O.V

 

She’s so pretty. So wonderfully pretty. It was like she was a dream and I was luckily not waking up. After all these years of liking her I still don’t believe that God chose me to be her best friend. She wasn’t pretty actually. She was utterly beautiful. Rheagan was fashion model beautiful. Not small crush pretty. She was 11 years I loved her pretty. I would never tell her. It would ruin anything. Besides it didn’t really matter with the guys she dates. They were all jerks and she only dates them for a week. If their lucky then they last a month. But that’s only happened once. How long would I last? I asked myself.

“Patty come on” she said interrupting my thoughts. I quickly followed her. We were all heading downstairs.

“It must be Hayley!” Josh spoke enthusiastically. I rolled my eyes. I guess we were getting the door. When Alice opened it, it was Hayley.  We just hung out in the living room for awhile watching some MTV reality show. We tried not to go to the party too early. We got there at about 7:01. A quarter of the school was already there. What time did they all come at? The loud music hurt my ears. The Hush Sound was playing Red Wine.

“Blair’s house is beautiful. I can’t believe she got The Hush Sound!” Rheagan looked around smiling her beautiful smile.

“Why thank you. I love your dress!” err I heard that voice. That voice that just took Rheagan away from me. Blair. Blair glared at me for a quick second and then quickly went back to smiling at Rheag.

“Blair! I didn’t see you there. Thanks. I love your skirt! Where did you get it?” She asked. I rolled my eyes. “Rheag, I’ll be with Jerms and Zac.”

She nodded her head. Then they kept talking. Just like I said I went over to Jerms and Zac.

“Hey guys!” I greeted them with a wave. Jeremy smirked. “Emily looks pretty. Joe looks ugly.” He couldn’t hear me.

“Hayley looks so pretty! Not ugly.” He couldn’t hear me either. I rolled my eyes. “Rheag looks pretty. Blair looks ugly.” It didn’t get their attention. I decided to go over by Bella and Alice.

“Hey guys!” I said not as happy as before.

“So cute…” Alice spoke bored and sad all at the same time.

“What’s wrong?” I asked furiously.

“That chick so doesn’t look good for him. Awe dudes now their flirting!” Bella kept complaining. Nobody was listening to me! I went over to Hayley finally.

“What’s up?” I said gently. She probably wasn’t going to listen to me.

“Nothing. This party is lame!” Finally somebody listens to me!

“I know! This party is so lame!” I finally continued to have conversation.

“Like he’s glancing and then he isn’t!” Totally not listening to me.

I rolled my eyes. I hate parties.

 

Jessica’s P.O.V

 

I was chatting with Emily well Claire and Blair were just all over the place. I was thinking about Josh.

“JESSICA CAN YOU JUST TALK TO ME FOR ONE SECOND!” Emily yelled. Nobody could really hear her. The Hush Sound was pretty loud.

“What?” I said unconcerned. I wasn’t really paying attention to Emm.

“Jess, I need to tell you something important. I’ve been thinking about it all day!”

I finally made myself stop thinking about him and listen to Emm.

“Ok, sorry daydreaming again. What do you need to tell me?” I was finally listening to Emily now.

She started to explain, “Ok, this morning I woke up but I didn’t wake up and then I saw this familiar figure. At first I couldn’t quite make out who it was but,” I was all ears until like a breeze flew by my hair. I looked at the doorway I saw a boy with hair a color I couldn’t describe. He had very long hair. It was all pushed to the side He also had beautiful green eyes. He looked weird, in a very attractive way.

“Jess,” I heard a voice say. I didn’t hear it clearly. It was probably just Emm nagging on me. I couldn’t look away. He was with a girl who looked just as tall as I was.  I didn’t know who they were. They just mysteriously showed up.

“Jessica.” I rolled my eyes turning my head. It turned out not to be Emily. It was him. Josh. Emily disappeared.

“Oh sorry, hi,” I probably looked weird now.

He did a little laugh. “It’s ok. So how do you like the party so far?” he asked slyly. His dark hair was shining so bright in the dim light.

I took more one glance at the weird but beautiful boy. He was staring at me.

I quickly looked back at Josh.

“It’s good. Blair did a good job.”

He noticed me look over at the strange boy. “That’s Shaant Hacikyan.”

“You know him?” I asked more curiously.

“Yeah, I don’t like him.” He shook his head. We both looked at him. His eyes were still bolted to mine. He looked in my eyes so deeply. My eyes felt like they were going to burn. My favorite song was playing from The Hush Sound. It was Lighthouse. I smiled. “I love this song.”

He grinned. “Mine too. Want to dance?” Lucky me, it was a slow song. I put my hands on his shoulders and he put his hands on my waist. My head was lightly resting on his shoulder. I saw Shaant the strange boy. He glanced at me one more time but this time his eyes were more relaxed and it matched his simple smile. As we floated around the room I saw Blair look at me and smile. She put her thumb up. When we turned all around a look I couldn’t help but glance at Shaant again. Thankfully, this time he wasn’t looking at me but the girl who was with him was. I pretended to look at something else. When the song ended I realized the whole time I just looked at Shaant. I got to dance with Josh though. But I just kept wondering more and more about Shaant.

“You dance nicely,” he complimented me. I smiled.

“You do too.”

He agreed, “I know.” He looked away with a grin on his face. He continued, “I’m going to go get some appetizers. How about I see you around the party?”

I nodded my head. Time to study Shaant! When I turned to see where he was standing it turned out to not be him. The girl with him wasn’t there either. I turned quickly and right when I turned around there he was. Looking straight in my blue eyes.

“Hello,” he greeted me his voice perfect and smooth. I was speechless.

 

Alice’s P.O.V

 

Hayley still haven’t told me her big secret. This party was the time to find it out. It took me awhile to search out Hayles. The whole school was here, and the loud music didn’t help much. I wonder why the neighbors weren’t phoning the police yet. I laughed to defiantly myself it wasn’t screamo or anything though. Finally I spotted Hayley with some boy I could make out in the dim light.

“HAYLEY, ZAC! I yelled out to them, she waved at me. I ran quickly to her.

“Hey Alice,” Hayley greeted me. She seemed well… not sober. I raised an eyebrow looking at her incredulously.

“Hayley have you been drinking?” I questioned. She was just doing some phony laugh.

“Hi Zac,” I tried again.

“I don’t know what happened to her. Seriously, we were hanging out. She was bummed out about something – or someone… and then she most have snuck the alcohol in her soda!” Zac was defiantly worrying as much as I was.

“WHAT?!?!” I started to get angry.

His eyes got wide. “She likes somebody, Alice. Hayles tell Alice… NOW!”

This must be the secret, I thought to myself.

“Hayley remember when you wanted to talk to me about something last night?” I tried to explain to her. Zac and I didn’t want to get Hayley drunk tonight. But she just did it on herself.

“Champagne?”

Zac shook his head and grabbed Hayley’s drink inspecting it more. “I – well, it – it is not quite just alcohol…”

My eyes got big. I though to myself: Not just alcohol? What did it have root beer in it too?

“I-It’s WHERE THE FUCK IS BLAIR?!” He had a soft tone until he started shouting. He ran off with Hayley’s drink. My eyes followed him off, I wanted to follow but my body wouldn’t move. My eyes turned to Hayles.

“What the fuck who took my drink?” Yep, it was more then just alcohol.

“Where did Zac g-g-go? I WANT MY Z-ZAKINS! HE IS JUST SO EFFIN CUT OR C-CUTE! I LOVE ZAC! WHERE IS HE?” She shouted out loud. My eyes got big very, very, very big. She liked Zac. That was the secret. Or was it? I mean she was drunk… I thought more until Zac got back. The music suddenly stopped. The Hush Sound didn’t take one break when the party started… weird.

“Police are coming soon. The Hush Sound is gone. Hayley can’t stay here. She’s drunk… Alice let’s take her home fast!” He explained to me. I shook my had. He said it all so fast.

“Wait! What was in that drink?” I question furiously. I was almost shaking.

“Morphine.”

 

Beth’s P.O.V

 

Katelyn and I did get to hang out. It took forever to get her over though. She said her parents didn’t like her going to friend’s house when it was the beginning of the year. I didn’t quite understand it, but whatever parents have their parenting skills. I was trying to convince Katelyn to go to this one party with me.

“I don’t want to go to that party!” She got madder and madder every time I asked the question.

“It’s not going to have anybody we don’t know!” I kept explaining. She wouldn’t listen. She’d just continue examining my room. I rolled my eyes.

“Fine… then we can just chill – I can do my English homework – you can continue to study my room… we have a lot of options I guess.”

She rolled her eyes. “My parents would kill me if I went to a party!”

“C’mon you probably never went to a party. It’ll be fun,” I tried to encourage her. It wasn’t working out…

“You probably haven’t either. Police go to parties. If my parents found out they’d get out a razor and rip through my stomach. Literally.” She wouldn’t stop freaking out over my idea.

“Katelyn, please! It has no drugs, alcohol, that loud of music, and nobody from our school!” I assured her. She was probably only worrying about the kids from our school. They weren’t going to be there. She didn’t reply. It looked like she was thinking.

“We will check it out. If it is-“ Apparently she was.

“YES!!!” I interrupted.

 

She complained more after. Mostly because she was wearing her stained HIM tee-shirt. I let her borrow a nightmare before Christmas tee-shirt I had. Her eyes got puffy when I showed her that. When we did get to the party, the house looked oddly familiar. I didn’t think anymore of it though I just went in. I heard – well I saw – I SAW – I SAW!!

“THE HUSH SOUND!” Katelyn screamed, as so did I.

“Oh my fucking gosh,” was all I could say except for the screaming. Katelyn I lost track of her after only one minute of screaming. I saw a lot of familiar faces, and then I saw her. Blair. I quietly went past her.

“Blair?” I asked raising an eyebrow. She noticed me and squinted.

“Are you the beer person? I need the lemon chardonnay!” Maybe she didn’t notice me as well – not the beer person.

“Blair, it’s me Beth. Is this your party?”

“What the fuck are you doing at my party?” Before she could continue I walked away from her. I grabbed punch, and I didn’t put any alcohol in it. I wasn’t a drinker. I decided to go over in the band area. I went on my knees and crawled toward the front row. The Hush Sound was amazing! Even though this was Blair’s party, I had to admit it was a good one. The Hush Sound? How did she have those connections? As I started rocking out my drink flipped out of my hand and went all over my The Medic Droid tee-shirt. It was limited edition. Somebody bumped into me, and then another a boy came pushing into me. But this time was so hard it caused me to fall down. People started to crowd and laugh. Embarrassing. The first guy I didn’t quite know who he was but then I saw the second guy who hit me so hard I was on the ground. Gerard. Gerard Way. One the coolest kids in school knocks me to the ground… oh God.

“Oh I’m sorry,” he smiled. What? What! WHAT?! Was Gerard drunk or something? Saying sorry to me? The Hush Sound stopped playing.

“U-U-Uh…” I stuttered. He put his hand out. I looked at it like a had powers with my mind or something.

“Do you need help getting up?” He finally asked me. I nodded my head slowly taking his hand. I glanced at the crowd around us. Their face was in shook. Probably, not as much as mine was. When I did get up I couldn’t believe it. I never had really liked Gerard, but I mean…

“Are you drunk?” it slipped out! I can’t believe I even said that. Especially, with all these people around me.

He chuckled. “No, I don’t think so. I don’t drink.”

My eyes got wide. “O-Oh,” I stuttered again.

“Are you okay?” Gerard asked changing the subject. I nodded my head.

“I’m fine.”

He chuckled again smiling a crooked smile I never really noticed. “I should watch were I’m going next time…”

I didn’t reply. I shook my head. He was still talking to me?

“Well, see yeah later.” He grinned and walked again. But his head was over his shoulder still smiling at me and when he broke through the crowd he waved bye. Everyone looked at me now. I quickly ran out going through another crowded room. Quick enough, The Hush Sound was playing again. They were good. Wow.

Project Drama [Part 5]

 

Recap: By good use I mean Bella was using it.

 

Jessica’s P.O.V

 

I sat on the bed installed in the wall. The window was right there so I could see perfectly. I could hear Claire, Emily, and Blair babble about Blair’s party. I just dazed outside thinking of him. By him I mean, Josh. His dark, dark, dark brown hair and very dark brown eyes that was easily mistaken for black, and he was very good at football. Probably better then half the boys on his team. I see him a lot, because his best friends are Gerard, Pete, and Joe. Claire, Blair, and Emily’s boyfriends. Then there was Josh and me. Single. So we did talk a few times about random things.

“Jess?” I heard a quiet voice. I ignored it still thinking of my little crush on Josh.

“Jess?!?” The voice started to get louder. It was annoying and sounded familiar but I tried to continue thinking of Josh.

“JESSICA!!” It quickly made me turn and look at Emily, Blair, and Claire looking at my stunned. I quickly realized it was Emily yelling my name. I shook my head to get out of my fantasy.

“What?” I asked quickly. My head heard a bit from the yelling.

“You keep ignoring us.” Blair complained.

I chuckled. “Daydreaming,” I replied in a tired voice. I yawned.

“Jess, you can’t be tired. It’s only five o’clock.” Emily exclaimed. She continued, “You guys let’s go outside and tan!”

I was really not in mood for a tan but I agreed anyway. Blair and Claire were going to nod their heads any second now. 3 – 2 – 1.

“Yeah.”

YEAH!”

My prediction was right, and they both replied with a simple, “Yes.” They nodded their heads too.

We quickly grabbed our bikinis. Well, we all borrowed Blair’s bikinis. When we all got our towels, sunglasses, and pink crystal lemonade. Randolph was quietly watching us outside in his tux.

“Randolph, aller!" Blair shouted. Randolph quickly scattered in the house. All of us looked at her.

Her eyes got wide. “What?” She complained in her regular harsh voice.

“What the hell does aller mean? Is it Chinese or something?” Claire asked raising a brow. She grimaced.

“What the hell? Chinese! Randolph, is French no duh. How the hell did you get Chinese out of that?”

Emily and I both rolled her eyes. I sat back on the pool chair and put my big sunglasses with thick white rims. I grabbed my Hannibal Rising book. I got it from English class and we were supposed to read chapter one. The other girls, Blair, Claire, and Emily were reading Seventeen, Cosmo Girl, and Us Weekly. They were quickly addicted to the celebrity gossip, so they probably wouldn’t see me reading. An actual book. I had to read the prologue though. Claire and Blair wouldn’t shut up in class. They just kept talking to this Beth chick. I heard the first little paragraph Mrs. Adams read but then Blair kept chatting.

“Everywhere there are exhibits, well-spaces and lighted, each keyed to memories that lead to other memories in geometric progression.” I read the first part out loud. They weren’t going to hear it, they were too paralyzed to the celebrity gossip. I decided that they’d hear what I’d say next so I just continued to read it in my mind.

Spaces devoted to Hannibal Lector's earliest years differ from the other archives in being incomplete. Some are static scenes, fragmentary, like painted Attic shards held together by blank plaster. Other rooms hold sound and motion, great snakes wrestling and heaving in the dark and lit in flashes. Pleas and screaming fill some places on the grounds where Hannibal himself cannot go. But the corridors do not echo screaming, and there is music if you like.

“What the hell are you reading?” Emily asked half laughing. I knew I wouldn’t get that far in the book.

“I really love your hair,” I quickly stated distracting Emily as Claire and Blair looked at me.

“Really? I know I do too.” Soon enough Emily, Claire, and Blair were babbling about celebrity gossip, and their hair. I kept reading along in Hannibal Rising.

The palace is a construction begun early in Hannibal's student life. In his years of confinement he improved and enlarged his palace, and its riches sustained him for long periods while warders denied him his books.

All the reading started to get me tired. I didn’t care what the girls were talking about and surely they wouldn’t see me quietly and slowly start to shut my eyes. It was still light because the sunlight was on me. Yes, I was fallen asleep.

 

Katelyn’s P.O.V

 

Worst day so far in my surreal life, not surreal in a good way, a bad way. Rochelle my mother and the guy she was dating Cody for 12 years (still not married) were yelling and throwing stuff around. Of course people would be frightened, encountering what I do every day. But I mean if this happened for 12 years, its safe to say that you’d get used to it.

“Chris’s fucking kid is getting sickening. She’s a teenager for heaven’s sake! Kids fucking get wild when they are teenagers! When is fucking Chris picking her up?” Cody yelled in his regular harsh voice. I ignored the best I could. I didn’t have my own room, but I did have the small bathroom to myself. Nobody used it, so basically it was my room. I didn’t sleep in the tub or anything but it was basically my room. The only thing I had in it besides ‘bathroom stuff’ was homework, sneakers, 3 outfits. And my kitty, I loved her to death. She was way better than a Pokemon and that’s saying a lot. I of course got my new HIM tee-shirt and when I went to my dad (Chris)’s house he had a bunch of c-d’s like HIM. Rochelle called for me, “KATELYN GET YOUR FUCKING ASS DOWN HERE!” I jumped a little bit. I was too caught in thoughts. Before she could even try to repeat her sentence I ran down the stairs. She looked at me stunned. Well, she was looked at my new HIM tee-shirt.

“What the fuck! Why is that stained?”

“Kids at school poured grape juice on my,” I couldn’t explain the full reason. Cody and Rochelle wouldn’t listen anyway. My stupid attempts to get them to listen to me were useless.

“Huh?” Cody questioned. My eyes got wide but no words came out.

“EXPLAIN BOY!” Cody yelled.

I shivered. “I’m not a boy,” I mumbled. It came out. It sounded braver then I felt.

“Excuse me!” Cody yelled again.

Rochelle just rolled her eyes and continued, “Who cares! Clean our bedroom, basement, kitchen, FUCK DO THE WHOLE HOUSE! Were going out to the bar.”

I couldn’t blink. “Supper?”

“FEED YOURSELF!” Cody was still at his anger stage. Well, he was always at his anger stage but sometimes he was a bit calmer then usual. Quickly, they ran out the door. My mom looking more hooker then ever, and Cody looked like a guy who would be in a gang drove quickly away with a simple good-bye. I was of course used to it but it still upset me. I quickly started to clean the kitchen. I grabbed the mop and put in my mom’s Nine Inch Nails c-d and started dancing well mopping. The phone rang. I ignored it. I would get in trouble if I answered it. I was never allowed to talk on the phone. Especially, not to my father Chris. He was my life. The only reason why I’m still breathing. If he wasn’t alive or my real father was Cody, then I’d already have killed myself. The answering machine came on and I heard my name. It sounded familiar. But who would be calling me? It wasn’t my dad that’s for sure. It was a girl, and it wasn’t my mother. I looked at the phone. Samuel Claireson. Claireson? I played the message again.

“Hey Katelyn, its Beth Claireson you know from school? Don’t ask how I got your number but I was wondering if you wanted to hang out.” Her voice was soft but it sounded like it was aching. I couldn’t believe it. Somebody was calling. For me. I looked on the phone. 997-4012. I dialed it quickly without thinking what Cody and Rochelle would think. Beth answered.

“HEY!” I basically yelled in the phone.

“Hi. Katelyn?” I could barely hear her because she was playing loud music in the background. I couldn’t quite hear what band it was.

“Hold on!” She shouted probably going to turn off the music. Like I predicted the music stopped and she was back on the telephone.

“Sorry about that, loud screamo music.” She chuckled, I did too.

“Yeah,” I replied gently. “So… you wanted to hang out?” I quickly changed the subject.

“Yeah, sure,”

Wow. I was actually hanging out with someone.

“Why not? ‘Cause no offense or anything to ourselves but were kind of dorks.”

I laughed. “Yeah,” I agreed.

 

Blair’s P.O.V

 

It was now 11 o’clock PM and Claire and Emily’s cell phones were ringing off the hook. I mean like crazy!  That’s when I realized that Jessica was still on the pool bed outside and it was finally dark outside. We realized that Jess fell asleep before so we just decided to keep her there and go back inside the house. Without explaining to Claire and Emily why I was going back outside I walked down 2 stories and down the glass staircase then out through the glass windows and outside in the dark. I turned on the outside lights and slowly walked to the pool beds. Jessica wasn’t there. The first thing I thought was what the fuck? Randolph quickly appeared right beside me.

“I put her in the guest room.” He quickly assured me so I wouldn’t freak out. I didn’t reply I just ran back inside the house up the glass staircase and in the guest bedroom. Jessica was still asleep.

“Jessica, get up!” I kept nagging her to get up. I rocked at getting her up. She quickly got up.

“WHAT!” She shouted. I chuckled.

“Jessica, you fell asleep in the pool bed. It’s 11 o’clock. Your mom has been calling forever.” I explained. She moaned. I thought she’d go under the blankets but she just looked at the roof.

“Can you get me my cell?” She asked yawning. I nodded my head running up the stairs and grabbing her cell phone. Claire and Emily were still on their cell phone. They didn’t even notice I was gone. When I got back in the guest room Jessica surprisingly was up and looking at me incredulously.

She quickly took the phone out of her hands and was punching in her mom’s phone number.

“Hey. No, I was not there the whole time. Here. Yes, I am. He can’t. Ok.” She was babbling in the phone, and then she hung up.

“See yeah.” She looked at me for a long moment.

“Ok, I’m taking my car. I’ll come over tomorrow morning.” I nodded my head she when downstairs without saying good-bye to Emily and Claire. When they did leave, everybody, I went to the living room and turned on the T.V. A Shot Of Love With: Tila Tequila. It was the finale.

“You have a soft touch of a woman, and Bobby you made me laugh the entire time… and I know you’re a softie on the inside I only have one key left It was so hard choosing. But I want to tale a shot at love with…… with you Bobby I want to take a shot at love with you Bobby are you interested?” I basically missed the whole episode. Dani, the girl  just looked as they hugged and then silently walked away down the long red carpet. Tila finally stopped hugging Bobby and she yelled out, “DANI WAIT!” I wanted to cry. Dani was my favorite! Bobby sucks! Tila gave Dani a gentle speech and ended up running back to Bobby. They hugged and then I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

 

Emily’s P.O.V

 

My clock rang. I didn’t moan. I was actually excited to get up. Today was the big party. When I woke up I saw a familiar face sitting in the water chair I had. I rubbed my eyes. They wouldn’t exactly open.

“Hello.” The voice sounded very familiar but my eyes wouldn’t open. I saw the familiar looking figure came over beside me. It was a boy defiantly.  I felt him go on my water bed.

“Emily open your eyes.” I heard the sweet voice say. By now I knew who it was. I finally opened my eyes. His beautiful dark brown eyes were unreadable. He smiled. It was Joe.

“Good morning.” He continued to smile. Then suddenly I saw something flash in the sunlight from my window. Then I looked down in his pocket. There was a shiny silver butcher knife. My eyes got wide as I looked down and then I slowly looked at Joe. He smirked. Then he slowly brought up the knife.

“Good-bye Emily…” He said endlessly and he took the knife and stroke it across my neck. Right when this occurred I closed my eyes and then I opened then again. When my eyes fluttered open Joe wasn’t there and I was sleeping in my bed. Not sitting down. My eyes quickly headed for the water chair that Joe was sitting in. He wasn’t there. It was all a nightmare. I was breathing hard. Then my cell phone rang.

“I’ve been jumping from the tops of buildings,” My favorite song was playing. I remember when Joe and I first started going out I put his ring tone to that. I was shivering. I wasn’t cold I was a bit terrified to answer the phone. Joe. I did end up answering it though.

“H-Hi…” I stammered.

“Hey Lovie,” He said sweetly, he said it the same way he said it in my nightmare.

I shivered again.

“Hello?” Joe got impatient.

“H-Hi,” I stammered once more.

“You seem a bit odd today,” Joe sounded a bit too happy.

“Y-Yeah,” I replied.

“EMILY!” My mother hollered.

“I guess you have to go… I’ll see you at school.” he heard my mom. I couldn’t even say good-bye. I just hung up quickly. I got out of bed and put on skinny black jeans that were folded on my dresser and I went inside my closet. I looked around but nothing was in there. Everything was gone. Everything! My little brother… Kale! I ran out of my closet and then went into his room.

“WHERE IS ALL MY CLOTHES?” I yelled at him. He was sleeping. He quickly awoke when I crashed his little party.

“Pierre…”

Without another word I ran down the stairs and there was Pierre looking at me straight eyed.

“Clothes?!” I panicked.

“Kale has lice… your mother sent all the clothes to the laundry mat. She saved your This Providence band tee-shirt though.” Pierre spoke quickly. He pulled out the tee-shirt and then I grabbed it running back up the stairs into my room. I put on my long This Providence shirt. It was a light greenish color. It was their self-titled album on it. My favorite tee-shirt. It was kind of amazing my mom didn’t pick out something she thought would look good.

 

The morning was a drag. It went by fast. I went to my locker after Calculus and grabbed my purse. I left it in there when I went to Physics. I met Claire, and Blair in the lunch room. Jessica was still in the line getting her food. I wasn’t very hungry. I never was, really.

“Hey Bitch.” Claire greeted me when I came to sit with everybody. Jessica was sitting down at the table now too.

“Are the boys sitting with us?” I asked curiously.

Blair shook her head. Phewf.

“Are you guys excited for the party tonight?” Claire asked everyone.

Nobody said anything. We all seemed stressed except for Claire. Blair was freaking out over her party, Jessica well I don’t exactly know what she was doing and I was thinking about my nightmare. Every time Joe tried to talk to me in between classes I’d just ignore him and look away. It was just a dream. You’d probably think: It’s just a dream. I mean my boyfriend would never do that. He would never try his hardest to impress me and be the nicest person ever and then slit your throat. Would he? I asked that question to myself all day!  Joe would never hurt anyone. I know he wouldn’t. Then why was I thinking about this all day?

“Emily tell Blair to chill out!” Claire shouted. I shook my head. Coming out of my thoughts.

“Huh?”

“Never mind,” she replied.

 

Hayley’s P.O.V

 

It was all of us sitting at the same table we sat in like yesterday. Isabella, Rheagan, and Patrick sat across from Alice, Jeremy, and me. Zac sat at the left end. By me. Beautiful Zac… sat beside me.

“So are you guys excited to go to the party?” Alice started to make conversation. We all seemed tired and bored. I seemed a bit shaky. I never got to tell Alice my little secret. All lunch Alice kept eyeing me about my secret. Zac like kept his eye on me the whole time. So I never really got to really talk to her.

 

When lunch was over I had my favorite class… was gym. It was with him. I’ll blush if I say his name so I’ll just call him, him. I wasn’t really good at sports or anything. But I wasn’t like totally bad. Zac- I mean him was actually good at sports. Totally good… he was always picked first. I on the other hand… terrible! We were playing volleyball. Josh Farro, and Pete Wentz were the team captains. Josh stood up and so did Pete. Josh rolled his eyes. “Gerard, Joe, Zac,” Yep, I knew Zac would be on his team. I’m sure they hated each other I mean their brothers. Plus I like never see them together. They hang out with different cliques.

“Hayley,” I heard Josh say. I shook my head.

“What?” I wondered out loud.

“You’re on my team.” Josh said rolling his eyes. Well, he’s rude, I thought to myself. I got up from the bench and ran to Josh’s team. I was with Josh, Zac, Joe, Jessica, Katelyn, and me. The other team was Pete, Bob Ray, Andy, Amy, and Crystal. Josh was serving… yadyaya. Why did girls even like him? I’m just going to say it now… straight out. He’s a prick. Yep, he was so rude and I didn’t get it how he was so popular. Why would Bella even like this jerk? He served it very hard. It was over hand. Before anybody could even think of saving it, it hit the floor, loudly. It was Zac’s turn. Oh my God. He served it gentle but it did score us a point. Josh was good too, but his was so hard and he showed off so much. Zac’s was like perfect. Angel perfect. Perfect, perfect! I gasped at the beautiful hit. But then I saw Pete come up and bump it. It was heading towards me. Zac flew right past me. Like he was saving me from a gun shot or something. I gasped again. Zac quickly got up glancing at me.

“Thanks, Zac.” I tried to sound nice but not too nice. So I didn’t give away anything. He nodded his head. My cheek got red, but he didn’t see it.

“Yo! Blondie your turn to serve!” Josh yelled. I thought he was talking to Amy, but it was me. I rolled my eyes hoping he could see. I did a terrible serve but it went over. I could hear Josh chuckle in the background. Why in the world did Josh even pick me? Getting the question out of mind I got to serve again. Once I did I got to serve. It didn’t go over. Nothing happened after that. Just boring old class stuff. After class I had Art. That was with everybody, and I mean everybody! Bella, Patrick, Rheag, Alice, Jeremy, and Zac. I was too obsessed. I mean I’ve only known Zac for one day and I say I’m in love with him? How foolish could I get?

“Want me to sit beside you, Zac?” that foolish! Yes, I asked Zac to sit beside me.

“Sure.” He smiled his beautiful smile. I shouldn’t have done that for two reasons. First reason: It was far too cheesy. Even for me, I’m not cheesy but I fall fast. Second reason: I needed to tell Alice that I liked Zac. When Zac isn’t around us. This was the only class I had with her. I had to tell her tonight. At the party because I was not whispering it to her now. Not with Zac right beside me.

 

Rheagan’s P.O.V

 

When school was finally over I rushed home with Patrick. Right when I got home I greeted my Grandmother, and my mother. Then I ran upstairs and decided what to wear. I ended up wearing a skirt 1 inch above my knee. It was a black dress. It was really nice. It was like a tutu skirt, well tutu bottom that was attached to a pretty black tang top. Well, it was a dress. The party started at seven. I was so excited. Alice and I actually got invited. Were not the friends that just have to go with the people who got invited! Blair and Jessica actually confronted me and asked me to go to the party. I of course said yes. Alice’s brother was Gerard. So it was like mandatory for her to come. Bella was invited also. I think Gerard invited her too. I have no clue. Hayley, Zac, Patrick, and Jeremy sadly weren’t invited. Hayley probably wasn’t invited because no one knew her well. People talked about of her of course. When there is a new student at Madsen High, everybody knows about it. I heard a knock at my bedroom door.

“Patty!” Right on time!

“Come in.”

Patrick quietly came in and did a little wave by the door.

“You’re wearing what you’re wearing at school today? Usually my best friend Rheagan would be wearing something different. Especially to a big party she got invited to.” He seemed confused. I giggled.

“I go put on the dress I found for tonight.” I assured him. I went into my bathroom. The dress was already there. I quickly slipped on the black dress and then did a little strut out of my bathroom and showed Patrick. I think he gasped. I wasn’t quite sure. But if he did then that means the dress looked awesome!

“YOU GASPED! YOU MUST LIKE IT!” I quickly assumed. He laughed.

“I do you look – beautiful…” He said shyly. I giggled again. I was right. He did gasp.

“Awe… thanks Patty! You look handsome too.” I quickly ran up to him and gave him a big hug.

“I got you a present!” I smiled brightly. Before Patty could say anything I ran out of my room dashing down the stairs and into the kitchen I grabbed the nicely wrapped present I bought him. I ran back up stairs and placed it carefully it in his hands.

“Exciting,” he gave me a enthusiastic look. I giggled again. I should start laughing, not giggling. He carefully unwrapped the present. it was a little plastic see-through box. He seen a black box inside it. He opened the plastic box and then opened the black box then he pulled out the plaid hat I bought him. He loved hats.

“You got the plaid hat I wanted?!” He asked knowingly. I laughed this time.

“Yes.” I gave him another hug.

“Let’s go to Alice’s house now. Were all meeting there? Yeah, we are.” I exclaimed.

 

When we got to Alice’s house Bella, Zac, and Jeremy were there already and of course Alice. Hayley wasn’t there yet.

“OMG RHEAG! YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL!” Bella complimented me.

I smiled. “You look lovely too.” She did actually. She wasn’t as dressed up to me she looked way more casual. But really pretty like that! She was wearing a black long-sleeved shirt with pink and dark grey little cassette tapes on them with lighter shiny hearts with light blue jeans and she was wearing navy blue converse. Alice was wearing regular black sweat pants with a Tokio Hotel band tee-shirt on.

“Alice are you going to the party?” I asked a bit unsure.  She nodded her head. Then I saw Bella roll her eyes.

“Alice doesn’t like to dress-up.”

Jeremy, Zac, and Patrick laughed. I on the other hand… giggled.

I changed the subject, “Where is Hayley?” I was actually curious of where she was.

“Yeah, where the fuck is Hayley?” Zac asked more curiously then me.

Alice rolled her eyes. “She said she’s running late. She had to pick up her mothers dry cleaning and shit.”

Zac smiled.

“Awe. Dry cleaning…”

I giggled. Alice was sitting down typing on her computer. I didn’t exactly she was typing. But she was on MSN.

Project Drama [Part 4]

 

Recap: involved.

 

Jess gave me a sour look. “Who’s ‘us’?”

I thought for a moment, Gerard, Josh, Pete, Joe, and then Emily, Blair, Jess, and me. Then I replied, “Pete, Josh, Joe, Gerard, and then us.”

Jessica gigged. “Josh is going to be there?”

I nodded my head looking at her incredulously. Everybody looked at Jess. She had a funny smile on her face and she said, ‘Josh is going to be there?’ like she was asking if This Providence was going to be there. We all knew how Jessica got when she liked someone.

Crazy.

 

Rheagan’s P.O.V

 

“Red necked Santa?” I spoke a bit surprised how my Grandmother could buy this for me. I mean it wasn’t even Christmas.

“Nana’ it’s not Christmas…”

She chuckled. “Of course it is! Get in the Christmas spirit!” I laughed with a weak smile. My poor Grandmother, she has gotten worse. Thank goodness she isn’t going to be stuck in Miami for much longer and she’ll be staying with me, I thought to myself. My phone rang, it was Bella.

“What’s up Bella?” I spoke quietly, probably too quiet for Bella to even hear.

She stuttered, “J-J-Josh F-F-Farro,” Bella spoke slowly I laughed, “J-Josh F-Farro is c-c-coming t-to the p-party,” she kept speaking slowly still stuttering.

I continued to laugh. “Bella, it’s alright. I’m sure he’ll like you. He’s not dating anybody right now. Well, he can’t be because EVERYBODY including us would know if he was dating anybody.” I assured her. Fricken’ Bella. Josh was so rude, nobody could see it.

“Rheagan, I know-“

“Nahnahnah, not Rheagan RHEAG!” I interrupted complaining. I always got made when people called me Rheagan.

“Rheag, I know that he isn’t dating anybody but…” she corrected continuing, “Josh? Josh Farro? Like somebody like me… that’s kind of hard to believe.”

I rolled my eyes. “Bella, somebody like you… that makes no sense! Josh knows you and he’s talk to you before. He probably thinks of you the same way.”

I could hear Bella roll her eyes.

Isabella complained, “JOSH! Pfft, sure we’ve talked but I mean he is like one of the hottest guys in school! He is more Emily Morrison, Jessica White, Claire Miller type!”

I laughed. “Josh is a sweet guy. I mean sure he is a jock but he is really nice, and I think he likes you. He glances at you a lot.”

“RHEAG GET OFF THE PHONE GRANDMA NEEDS IT TO CALL HER FRIENDS FROM PHILLY! AND COME DOWNSTAIRS I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!” My mother yelled from down the stairs.

I rolled my eyes; my mother was so loud at times. I told Bella I’d call her back in a hour. I went down the glass staircase. Yep, glass. My dad and mom thought it would be a cool idea. I on the other hand thought it was foolish, I mean Averill our maid already fell like 5 times with the laundry basket in her hands, and I’ve fell like 6 with my iPOD. It wasn’t broken, thank God. Luckily, when you got to the bottom of the stairs it was rug again. I ran past the kitchen seeing my mom there watching Oprah, and my Grandma talking on the phone with a friend from Philadelphia.

“You wanted to see me?” I said like I was a intern for the New York Times and I was talking to my boss.

She nodded her head impatiently. “Rheagan,”

“Rheag!” I corrected her.

“Rheag, you’re going to your first debutante meeting on Saturday so be prepared.”

“Ok, ok. Can I go now?”

“No, and this Saturday your going to be sleeping over at Zac’s house. The girls Alice, Bella, and this other girl will be going to the debutante meeting with you and then you will sleepover at Zac’s house. Jeremy and Patrick should also be there too.”

I nodded my head. “Mom when is dad going to be home?” I asked.

“Not until late tonight.”

“Awe…” I replied sadly… my dad was never home. Never.

 

Josh’s P.O.V

 

I laughed at Gee. “Josh, what about Claire?”

Pete’s eyes got wide. “CLAIRE’S MINE!” He snapped.

Gee, Joe, and I laughed.

“Pete, chill.” I continued to chuckle.

“Josh what about Blair,”

Gerard tried not to notice we were talking about Blair. I chuckled.

“Hey, uh waiter!” I shouted looking at this spooky-boney looking waiter. She was ugly, well in my opinion. She had dark blonde hair and ugly moles located bellow her lower lip. Gee and I couldn’t stop laughing at it. It was more annoying then ugly, I thought. Gee probably thought something else… knowing his taste. No offense to Claire or anything.

“Josh did you hear about the new girl?” Joe asked me.

I rolled my eyes. “No, duh. Hayley something?”

“Yeah, Hayley Williams, she looks hot.” Joe replied.

“Yeah, totally!” He agreed.

“Nah, she isn’t my type. I don’t like red heads.”

Pete and Gee rolled his eyes.

“Hmm… what about Jessica White? I heard she isn’t going out with anybody.”

Jessica White? I thought.

I responded, “I know her. I talked to her for a few minutes when we went to Blair’s house.”

“Well, she is going to be at the party tomorrow…” Pete exclaimed.

“Cool.” I said casually.

 

Isabella’s P.O.V

 

Homework is for losers, I thought to myself. I wanted to go to Alice’s house. I was bored and I wanted to go somewhere, anywhere. Without phoning Alice I plopped to her house.

When I did arrive to Alice’s house Mikey answered the door. He had earphones in his ears and he slowly took them out.

“Hi. Is Alice here?”

He nodded his head. “Come in.” He smiled. He led me to her doorway to her room. I entered her room. Zac was there. They were yelling.

“She just needs to tell me something ok!” Alice yelled. Both of them didn’t even notice I had entered the room. Mikey was still standing at the doorway looking at Alice and Zac.

“Alice??!” Mikey and I both said at the same time. What was going on, I thought. Not knowing what else to do. I slowly backed up going outside the room and shut the doorway. I looked at Mikey.

“So what are you listening to?” I asked. He looked at his iPOD for a long moment. Then he looked up at me. “Mayday Parade.” His eyes were shining brightly.

“I love them!” I spoke, my voice rough.

He laughed, “I’m going to their concert.”

The door opened. It was Alice. She looked at Mikey and then at me. Zac was on Alice’s bed still glaring at Mikey and I.

“What’s going on here?” Alice asked.

Mikey and I looked at each other our eyes wide.

“What do you mean?” I questioned.

Mikey looked at me and then looked at Alice for a long moment. “Yeah, what do you mean?”

She shook her head. “Never mind. Come in Bella, Zac was just leaving.” She replied giving Zac a dirty look. Zac sighed and without saying good-bye to anybody he left the room and down the stairs. Out the door he went.

“Uh go Mikey.” Alice said pulling me inside her room slamming the door shut.

“So what’s up?”

“What was all that yelling about?” I spoke softly.

She looked away. “Uh, nothing.”

“Nothing seems like something.”

She rolled her eyes. “We were fighting. I told him to leave because Hayley wanted to tell me something, and she didn’t want him to be there so he was making a big fuss out of it,” she explained.

I nodded my head. “Phone Hayley now.”

She rolled her eyes and grabbed the phone. In no time at all she was talking to Hayley.

“Bathroom,” I noted leaving through the doorway as Alice nodded.

I walked heading to the bathroom as I passed Mikey’s door.

Mikey smiled, “Bella, wait.” I looked at him, Mayday Parade still playing.

“Yes?” I responded. Before replying he went over and paused the music. When I Get Home You’re So Dead, was playing. MY FAVORITE SONG!

“I have an extra ticket,”

“What the hell Mikey! What did I say when Bella got here? STOP TALKING TO MY FRIENDS!” Alice came out of no where interrupting. Mikey was quiet. He didn’t reply, he slowly walked back into his room and shut the door. In no time at all I heard him press play. In my mind I was singing it. Alice kept on babbling. I wasn’t quite paying attention. I was just wondering what Mikey was going to say after, “I have an extra ticket.” Alice strikes again.

 

Mikey’s P.O.V

 

Right before I ever get to finish my sentence, Alice or Gerard fricken’ interrupt me. Ignoring the fact that I didn’t get to tell Bella what I wanted to say I decided not to go back on the laptop. I quickly shut in it. My cell phone rang.

“Ayo I’m tired of using technology,” Justine Timberlake was the ring tone. I remember Jeremy playing around with it. I opened it.

“What’s up?”

“Nothing… just wanted to call. See if you wanted to hang out.” His throat sounded dry, and his voice was a bit rusty. I heard him do a little cough.

I replied, “Ok, but you come here.”

I heard him nod his head. “Ok.”

“See yaw,” I spoke in the phone hanging up before he got a chance to say good-bye. I heard a soft knock on the door. I threw the phone on my bed and as I opened the door I spoke, “You’re pretty fast Jermem-“

“Hi.” it was Bella, not Jerms.

My voice was going to come out dry like Jeremy’s was. “H-Hey,” I stuttered.

“I wanted to know what you asked me before, Alice let me.” She exclaimed. I could hear Alice signing in the background. What was her problem?

“Uh I- eh well, I… I have an extra ticket to go see Mayday Parade. I’m going with my brother Gerard and Josh. Alice didn’t want to come so maybe you would- uh,” I tried to explain nice and clear but I kept stammering and pausing.

“When is it?” she quickly asked.

“Friday,” I answered shyly looking away from her.

She chuckled quietly to herself. “I probably could go but then I couldn’t. Alice. She’d complain.”

I laughed. “Yeah, she would complain.”

“BELLA COME HERE!” Alice yelled. I rolled my eyes.

“See yeah later.” She spoke quickly running to Alice’s bedroom. Gee came out of the room.

“What the hell is with all the yelling?” He complained. I didn’t reply and Alice didn’t come out of her room. I quickly shut the door and then went to look on my computer desk. There were the two Mayday Parade concert tickets I had. Hopefully, one was going to good use. By good use I mean Bella was using it.
