| "Hi, I'm Marie," a friendly voice said as I reached out and shook an unfamiliar hand. Mr. Kenneth, my vocal coach had been trying to set up a group for a really long time and he said he finally found the right people. I looked up and saw a beautiful blonde standing in front of me. She was taller than me, which isn't a hard thing to be because I am only 5'4". "Nice to meet you, I'm Sara," I answered. As I talked to her I felt like I had known her forever. I knew that we would be good friends as we blossomed as a group. "Ah, here are the boys," Mr. Kenneth said as he motioned towards the door. Marie and I turned around quickly to find a tall muscular brunette walking towards us with a blonde following him. "Hi I'm Dhani and this is Amit," the blonde boy introduced as we all shook hands. From that moment, I couldn't wait to see if our group could make it. When we started Marie and I were 15 and Dhani and Amit were 16. We all wanted it so bad. I knew that we each had it in us, we were just going to have to wait and see if our group clicked. *** *** *** *** That was a year and a half ago and we were still struggling. All we got offered were dinky little shows that no one came out to see. We practiced a lot and began performing our own music, and still nothing seemed to come our way. The four of us now sat in Amit's living room, trying to figure out where to go next. "Now Amit, your father and I will be out at a hospital benefit at the club. We won't be back until late tonight. We have talked to the maid and she will be home all night if you need anything." Amit's mom said as she kissed him on the cheek then followed his father out the door. Right before the door shut it swung open again. "Honey, I left all of the emergency phone numbers on the fridge. Oh are you going to be alright?" Amit's mom asked. "Mom, you leave me to go to the club all the time. I think I can make it." Amit said to his mom as he rolled his eyes. "Ok sweetie," she said kissing his cheek and exiting the house. "Oh honey I hope you will be ok," Dhani mocked pinching Amit's cheek. "She's over protective, I am her baby!" Amit explained. "Whatever!" I yelled as I threw a pillow at his from across the room. Dhani sat next to me and put his arm around me. Oh yeah, Dhani and I have been together since, well 2 months after we all met. You do the math. He is my best friend. Marie is with this guy named Blake. He is a really nice, cute guy. They met at one of our performances. After we got done he came up to her and asked her out. It sounds weird, but they've been together ever since! And then well Amit, he just likes looking at girls. But, he never keeps one around for too long. "Are you guys nervous about our performance in the mall tomorrow?" Marie questioned the group. "Yeah a little, but I am really excited!" I exclaimed girlishly. "Why? It's just the mall. It's small, it's old, and nobody really even goes there anymore since the new one was built!" Dhani lectured. I reached over and lightly hit him. "At least it's a gig!" Marie glared at him. "It's the best we have gotten in a long time, so you should be happy. And I have a really good feeling about it this time." I rolled my eyes, "Marie, sorry to say it, but you have been saying that since the first gig we had." Marie shrugged and looked down. "You know what I think?" Amit said quickly. "What," Marie said looking up, anxiously. "I think that...it's time to eat!" He exclaimed. Standing up and heading towards the door. Marie gave him a nasty look and shook her head, as he laughed and helped her up. "Marie, calm yourself down," He smiled, as they all followed Amit out the door. |
