I awake to the sound of my alarm clock blaring at me, I lazily roll over to turn my alarm off, then freeze in shock, that was my second alarm, not my first! I sprint out of my room at 100 miles an hour, just to realize that i'm still in my underwear, so I rush back to my room to get dressed. I pull on the first things I can I find, that being a pair of jeans and a black and a long sleeved grey-striped shirt.I check myself over in the mirror, my hazelnut colored hair is a complete birds nest and my chocolate colored eyes are hollows of madness. My red converses were laying my drawers so I may as well use them. I struggle to find my car keys, but eventually find them, lock the apartment and rush down to the garage to get to my car.

"Sorry i'm late....Ryan?"I say as I awkwardly sprint into the practice room. "Oh, its all good Brendon," Ryan says as he sees me stop completely, "Did you brush your hair this morning or did you think you missed practice?" I don't know what it was this morning, but Ryan seemed like really...hot, 'It must be my lack of caffine this morning'I think to myself. "So where is everyone else? " I ask after what seems like an eternity of silence, it was very strange only just having Ryan and me in the same room, 'nothing wrong with that though.' What am I thinking?! I can't keep thinking like this! "Oh, um..they didn't get the starting late memo, neither did you." I think of something to say back, that means that they should've already been here and.....My thoughts are soon interrupted by Jon and Spencer, barging through the door, looking very panicked and worried. "Hey Ryan, Hey Brendon."They say in unison as they rush into the practice space. "Sorry we're late," Spencer's eyes dart to me then to Ryan, looking as if he knows something we don't. " So, umm...I slept in and I forgot that we had practice today." Spencer explains to us, Jon remains in silence as we continue to look at him, waiting for a response on why he was 'late' for practice this morning, but he doesn't respond, he just sits there with a blank expression upon his face, like he's trying to think of an excuse. "Well," Ryan says after awhile of the group awkwardly looking at each other, "We should actually begin, I wrote down some ideas for some new songs." I always like it when Ryan writes new songs, but today for some reason, today I feel like a switch has been intentionally flicked to make me feel excited. Ryan goes and walk over to his bag and begins to curse under his breath, Jon and Spencer exchange glances and slowly walk over to get a chair. "Brendon," Ryan says as he tries to calm down, I walk over to him. "Yes Ryan?" I reply to him. He looks at me and begins to look away from me, as if he feels like I do about him at the moment. "W-would you....uh...come to my place after this tonight?" I feel Spencer looking at us, trying not to smile, Jon looks confused as if he doesn't understand whats going on. For a split second, I look Ryan in the eyes and he returns the favour. "Y-yea, I will..." Ryan leans in for a kiss but then remembers that we have company. "So meet you then?" He says, full of hope. I nod, this feels like a prank, but I know that Ryan doesn't joke about lyrics and songs, they mean too much to him. "What about us?" Jon asks, still with a look of bewilderment. I turn to them, "Uh...Just revise over the songs we've learnt and done, ok?" They both nod and instantly get everything sorted out for their rehersals. Tonight's gonna be great.
