Freddy POV

Not gonna lie, that car ride was kinda awkward. If anything I thought she would at least TALK to me, but she didn't.

Yellow came on and we both looked at each other instantly. Luckily we had arrived at the venue before we kicked into the chorus.

I knew Summer liked me.

And I liked her.

What was going on?

I guess for now we had this unspoken thing.

I got out of the car as fast as I could.

I grabbed the balloons but was struggling with them getting caught in the door.

I felt a finger tap my shoulder.

T- You done being attacked by balloons?

I turned around wondering who owned that snarky comment.
Low and behold it was Tomika in half of her School Of Rock disguise.

F- Ha if anything I'm winning this battle.

She rolled her eyes.

T- Oh please this is more pathetic than watching Lawrence trying to flirt or Zack standing up against his brother.

F- Ugh.

She looked confused.

T- What no comeback? No comment? No side remarks?

F- I'm not really in the mood.

T- Oh. Well at least let me help you weirdo.

She effortlessly pulled out the balloons with one jerk of her arm.

I didn't dare mention what a good job she did. Didn't want to add to her ego.

F- Wait where's Sum?

T- Over at Van Halen to help get the rest of the equipment while you were being bullied by balloons.

I sighed.

F- You're never gonna let me live this down are you?

T- No Freduardo, no I am not.

Summer POV

M- Just a little bit higher!

S- Okay Mr.Finn, but you couldn't have gotten Zack or Lawrence to help you hang the disco ball?

I was beginning to feel the chair that I was on rattle.

Mr. Finn was inhaling a churro.

M- Come on, its rock and roll! Plus it's the last decoration to put up.

I sighed. Mr. Finn was just too Mr. Finn and nothing we do could change that.

M- Hang on I'll get some batteries and the remote control. Oh and another churro.

I heard the footsteps begin to fade out.

I tried my best to stand on my tiptoes and that's when it all happened.

I was falling.

I felt my body being pushed back towards the ground, my hair covering my face. I thought it was the end until I felt two arms catch me.

I got up and turned to see my savior.

S- Freddy?

He smiled. He pushed my hair gently out of my face.

I repositioned myself, standing up and facing him. His green eyes sparkling.

F- You need any help Sum?

I had completely forgotten about the disco ball.

S- Oh ya ha ha.

F- Something like that shouldn't be giving you too much trouble. And don't let it.

S- Wow Freddy. Very wise.

We laughed.

F- Well I just needed to tell you...

M- SUMMER!!

Mr. Finn ran across the park, churro in hand.

F- I ship it.

I playfully rolled my eyes.

He approached covered with in what I hope was water.

S- Don't worry Mr. Finn I'm fine.

M- Oh um yay? But more importantly the churro guy doesn't have any cinnamon so this is a culinary crisis!

F- Mr. Finn why are you covered in... liquid?

M- Oh it's water. The sprinklers turned on and well you know. Plus I haven't peed my pants since the Def Leopard concert last year.

S- Eww, TMI.

M- Ya, but man did it feel good.

S- Okay Mr. Finn I think we're good. Now could you please put up the disco ball?

M- Sure, why hadn't you asked before?

I looked at Freddy slightly smirking.

F- That's our teacher alright.

S- Tell me about it.

I paused.

S- Oh speaking of telling you wanted to say something?

F- Oh well actually....

T- Hey guys.

I saw Tomika in her School Of Rock disguise.

F- Oh shoot! How much time do we have?

T- Hmm about 10 minutes.

S and F- Gotta go!

We sprinted in opposite directions. I swooped in and grabbed my bag next to the lit up stage.

Hey hey another update 🙌. Once again I will try to update at least once every other day! Oh and 5k reads? This is amazing!! Thank you all so much!!
