Love Me Anyway

(3) No Chemistry

The next morning Bucky woke up to the voices downstairs. "Fuuuuck" he whispered when he heard his grandparents.

He quietly got up and pulled on some clothes. As he made his way into the dining room he was yawning.

"Good morning Buchanan. I would be tired this early too if I came home around 1." Vivian said

"Good morning grandma and grandpa." He said as he sat down.

The maid brought him a plate of breakfast. "James Im pretty sure your curfew is 1130 during the week." James said

"I thought that was during the school year." Bucky said

"Not when you have to be at the school at 9 AM for rehearsals." Winnie said

Bucky rolled his eyes silently. "Oh that reminds me. I will be at your rehearsals James. Lucille called me and told me that you didn't show up for the first practice." Vivian said

"Don't you have like a luncheon to plan or something. I don't need a baby sitter Im 18." He said

"Buchanan watch your mouth." James said

Bucky just rolled his eyes and left the room. He went up to his room got his guitars out of the closet. He found his folder on his desk.

"Sure Ms Hartley has all this down." He said as he saw his song list.

He made the playlist on his Spotify then gathered up everything he needed for the day. On his way to the school he listened to the songs. When he arrived he saw Alexis' red mercedes benz.

"Of course. Ms Never Late for Anything." He said as he got his guitars and folder out.

When he got inside the theatre Alexis was stretching.

"Dear God.." he thought to himself then shook the thought away.

"Dude we know. She was in here yesterday doing ballet. For a nerd she had every boy thinking dirty thoughts." Weston said behind him

They all took their seats. "Good morning Mr Barnes nice of you to join us today." Mr Tipton said with a look of you know what to do.

Bucky stood up in front of everyone just as Vivian came in.

"I am very sorry for not being here yesterday. Especially to you Ms Hartley." Bucky said

"Thank you James." Mrs Davidson said

Bucky sat back down in a slump.

"Alright. Since we have our "Danny/Michael" here today. Lets start with the Summer Nights number." Mrs Davidson said

The IT guys got Bucky fitted for his ear pieces and mic. Alexis put hers on and took her spot. Bucky joined the boys on the choir bleachers with his lyric paper.

Bucky was fine with the guys as they did their part. He followed Mrs Davidson's choreography. But when it was time for the end of the song. He and Alexis were suppose to meet in the middle of the two stages back to back.

Mrs Davidson had to scoot them closer together. Then make them sit back to back as they finished the song.

When the music cut off she looked at them. "You two can't be this far apart. Lets try it again.." Mrs Davidson said

They all went back to their spots and the music started over. Bucky scared Alexis being that close to him scared her even more. After two tries of them still not doing it Mrs Davidson decided to move on to another number.

After doing several other numbers. Natasha practiced one of her "Rizzo" numbers. They did "Who's that Guy" from Grease 2.

"We need Barnes here..on this stage." Mrs Matthews said
