There were Simpler days
20:Kiss and Tell
Hanna
I look up at Alex and bite my lip nervously, I take the guitar as he plugs it into the amp.
“I don’t know any of your songs so can I just play a You Me at Six song?” I bite my lip nervously not ever having had so many people I hardly know watch me play. Let alone professional Musicians.
I put my fingers in the A minor position, I start to play Kiss and tell;
“You’re so good, and you’re so bad, and everybody wants to be your man. You’re so good and you’re so bad, and everybody ants to be. . In your hair, and under your skin…” I sing while playing, I try to sing loud and not sound so frail but my voice isn’t very good
“And in those clothes, and on those lips. But me.” Alex starts to sing with me harmonizing amazingly.
“Kiss and Tell, everybody else, and you’re at your best,” I glance up for a second to see Zack joining us.
“When I’m making baby steps. You make the rules up as you go, so I’ve gone and made some of my own.” Jack joins in next to me. I smile and start to focus on playing. More and more powerfully as we reach the bridge. I find myself singing with them getting into it. They one by one start to drop out of singing and just watch me play. My voice rings over Alex’s as he drops out leaving me to sing the last line alone.
“And I’m sick and tired, of being the good guy! And I’ve done my time, oh you should hit the back of the line.”
I look around at them all watching me, I wipe my cheek feeling wetness there realizing I started crying. I blush and look up at all of them.
“You’re pretty good.” Alex smiles at me. I start to hear music in the background. Matt stands leaning against the wall with his phone in his hand grinning down at the screen.
“I hope you all realize that is going on you tube.” He smiles at all of us. I blush
“Oh no. It really isn’t.” I say stiffly
“Its a bit late for that.” Matt grins at me and holds up the screen the You Tube app already open a bar at the bottom of the screen saying *uploading…*.
“Damn Hanna, you can sing though.” Zack laughs. I raise my eyebrow at him.
“I really can’t.” I laugh, “I was in choir in middle school and in musicals. I had a few solos but they weren’t very good.” Alex raises his eyebrows at me.
“Once you get into it you are.” He sits next to me “Who were you singing about?” I look at him and lay the guitar out on my lap,
“An old friend.” I swallow hard “I don’t want to talk about it.”
I look up at Alex and bite my lip nervously, I take the guitar as he plugs it into the amp.
