Tally House

5: "Snow Day" (AKA The 100 Reader Special)

"So? Zubin's got a laptop." Rob said, running upstairs to get it.

Zubin frowned. Rob didn't even ask to borrow it this time. And the time before. He just kinda took it everytime he used it.

Rob ran downstairs with the laptop in his hands, almost slipping on the hardwood floor from wearing socks.

"Woah- got it!" Rob said with a smile.

Rob sat down and opened Zubin's laptop, it was password protected but Rob had asked Zubin so many times for the password that he knows.

Rob started playing a song. None of them had really heard it before, but it was good. Rob tapped his fingers to the beat of it.

~

After the song was over, Zubin asked him what song was that. (He wrote it on paper)

"Oh! 505." Rob said.

Zubin gave him a disgusting look, and looked him up and down.

"What was that for? You know what? Im taking away your notepad." Rob said, he snatched the notepad out of Zubin's hands.

"I can still write on my arm" Zubin wrote. Rob also took away Zubin's marker.

"Alright, my turn." Ross said as he grabbed the computer away from Rob. The keys started clacking.

"At least ask for it, Ross." Rob said.

"Prince Ross." Rob mocked.

Ross rolled his eyes, and kept on typing.

The song started playing, Andrew knew it.

"I actually know this song." Andrew said.

"Really? You listen to Radiohead?" Ross said.

"Well no, but I've heard it from a friend & its pretty good." Andrew said.

"EVERYONE SHUSH AND LET THE SONG PLAY!" Rob shouted. Everyone stayed silent after that.

~

The song ended and Andrew got snacks, everyone started talking to each other except Zubin. He was quiet, wanting to play a song like Rob and Ross did.

"can i play a song?" Zubin said in a tiny, hoarse voice. Everyone stopped talking and looked at Zubin.

"Yes of course Zubin! Don't speak anymore or we will have to take you to the hospital." Rob said.

Zubin nodded, he was handed his laptop by Rob rightfully so. Zubin typed in a song, he typed very slow because he was cold & couldn't feel his fingers.

Zubin pressed play on the song, & Rob absolutely lit up with joy. He started squealing (aka Rob noises) and started jumping around everywhere.

"Zubin! I didn't know you liked The White Stripes! They are like my favourite band, like ever." Rob said.

Zubin smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

~

The doorbell rang, then the door burst open. (Death Request Andrew style) It was Bora.

"Hey guys! What are you doing?" Bora said. (Haha you guys probably thought i would leave out Bora. Never!)

Rob clicked pause. "BORA SHUT THE DOOR!" Rob yelled.

Bora got scared, he closed the door so Rob wouldn't deck him.

"Thanks. We were just listening to music! Wanna come hear?"

"Yes." Bora said, he sat down in-between Joe & Andrew.

"Oh, can i play a song?" Bora asked.

"Sure! Just type it in." Rob said, giving the laptop to Bora.

Zubin frowned. First, he screamed so much he couldn't talk. Second, his laptop got used without permission by Rob AGAIN, & Third, the song he picked didn't even finish.

"What the hell?" Zubin thought.

~ (so sorry for the time skips)

They all sat in uncomfortable silence, Joe stood up.

"As THE Joe Hawley i should announce my taste in music. Something none of you have ever heard before." Joe said, like he was special. (hahahah joe hawley song reference)

"Ok..." Rob muttered as he gave Joe the laptop.

Joe started laughing maniacally as the song started playing, but stopped.

Joe also began singing the song, everyone looked at him weirdly. Joseph didn't care though, he just kept on singing. Bora was supportive though, he pumped his arm in the air and smiled as Joe sang.

After singing, Joe bow to the audience,  (his friends) thanking everyone for the support. Bora clapped.

"Wow Joe. I guess you really like that song, huh?" Rob said.

Joe nodded with a smile. "Yes."

"Okay guys, can we just listen to my song? Im always left out of the group & i hate it." Andrew complained.

"Aww. Andrew. Im sorry, we were focusing on Joe's dancing. Here! Play any song you want, little man." Rob said.

"Little man?" Joe said. He gave Rob a weird glare.

"Uh... Yeah. I mean he's little right?" Rob said. Andrew glared at him. Rob was looking at Andrew but looked away, so he wouldn't get smacked.

The song started playing. Everyone's faces lit up.

Ross's mouth opened up with a gasp. "You... You like the beatles?!" Ross said, surprised.

"Yeah." Andrew said calmly. He was the center of attention in the room & he liked it. He gave a smile. Everyone "Aww" 'd.  (Listen i am not babying Andrew this is just for the story)

Everyone was enjoying the music, but Joe saw something in the corner of his eye on his arm. He looked again. IT WAS A BAT!

"AAAAA! OH MY GOD A BAT!" Joe shouted, waving his arms in the air.

Zubin screamed, everyone ran everywhere. It began flying after Bora tried to catch it, so everyone hid in corners or in closets. Joe hid in the linen closet. He was very squished.

Ross felt brave enough to open a window, and soon enough it flew out. He shut the window & sighed in relief, letting everyone know it was gone. Everyone celebrated, because they were in absolute terror.

"Lets all hug Ross!" Joe said, stepping out of the linen closet with towels falling.

Everyone hugged Ross, who gave a smile in return.

"Awww, you guys!" Ross said. He felt like a hero (even though anyone could have let the bat out) & it felt good.

"Guys i think i need to go to the hospital my vocal chords hurt." Zubin said in a raspy voice.

"Oh- ok." Rob said.
