I Knew You Were Trouble
Chapter 5
“Elaina, wait up”
I was just about to go to my last period class when I heard Jack calling out my name.
“What’s up Jack-o?”
“I wanted to know if you would go to our band practice. Alex, myself, Rian, and our friend Zack. It’s a shit load of fun I didn’t think you’d want to miss out on.”
It took me a minute to think about it. Jack is inviting me to band practice, in which my brother is in, but my brother didn’t invite me and Jack has a girlfriend. Is this a friendly invite or…? “Sure, I don’t have anything better to do” I said with a smile.
“Good, because I need a ride there and my girlfriend is sick” my smile turned into a slight frown and I felt my heart droop. “Okay” I said in a whisper before entering the classroom. Instantly I sat down next to Cassadee.”What’s wrong?” I swear I’m an open book to her. “Nothing. It’s just I may or may not have an itty bitty crush on someone we know” I said. “Does that someone have a girlfriend?” I nodded “And did this someone ask you for a ride to band practice?” I nodded again “Is this person your brother’s best friend?” “Ok how the hell did you know all that? How did you know he asked me for a ride to band practice?” “This is a tight knit group. You’ll be surprised if there’s something someone doesn’t know”. From then our conversation ended and I tried to focus on my work.
“Thanks for giving me a ride. I would have asked Rian or Alex but I don’t want to know what they do in the backseat of their cars” he said making me shudder at the thought. Especially my brother. “No problem” I said as we got in the car. Immediately I put in a cd of which I payed no attention as to which one it was. From then on the car ride was silent aside from the music playing and Jacks directions to Rian’s house.
I pulled in front of a house no different than the other’s on the street and followed Jack inside and down the stairs. It definitely looked like a band practice space. A drum set was in the back, amps, guitars, and microphones. Not to mention the old couch facing the set up along with a mini fridge. “This is really cool” I said to avoid anymore silence. “Yeah, it’s pretty sweet. You should hear Alex sing. You would never have guessed he could” he sounded really excited for me to hear them play.
About 15 whole minutes after Jack and I arrived, Rian and Alex were filing down the steps with girlfriends in tow. “Took you long enough” Jack exclaimed. Not even moments later their friend Zack came in with a sad look on his face. I skipped over to his side and asked “What’s wrong Zack?”
“Nothing” was his reply
“We’re all friends here Zack. It’s okay to talk to me even though I’m new to this group. Remember that.”
Then off I was to join Cassadee and Alex’s girlfriend on the couch. We giggled and talked while the boys practiced some covers of Blink and some originals. I will admit my brother is amazing.
It wasn’t until later that I got a strange text message. It read
-Stay away from my boyfriend or else.
All the guys have girlfriends. Cassadee and Alex’s Girlfriends wouldn’t be sending me this if we were just joking together. I don’t know Zack’s girlfriend and that only leaves us with Jack’s girlfriend.
Of freaking course.
It all makes sense now. The attitude she gave me on my first day. The making out right in front of me. She thought I liked him. Oh how right she was. I thought about not replying, but then again I’m tempted to know what the ‘or else’ is. So I reply.
-Who say’s I want your boyfriend?
She takes a while to return a message but when she does it isn’t nice and my confidence in this little game is gone.
-I can see it. The way you avoid him when I’m around. Just the way you always talk to him and none of the other guys as much. Oh and that little dazzle in your eye when you do talk to him like no one else is there. Yes, I know. You like my boyfriend. Now stay away or things will get dirty.
How she figured all of that is beyond me because that girl is dumber than a box of rocks.
-And if I don’t?
I’m pushing limits, but I’m a daredevil.
-I will tell everyone about your little crush if you don’t back off.
_Whatever I won’t talk to him. Have it your way.
-That’s what I thought
I’m not going to let her do it whether it’s true or not. Then again I can always talk to him in classes that we share. So it’s really not a big deal. Or is it?
