Riptide

42

After a few hours, Mo and I were nearly finished putting the first song together, adding and removing some words and stringing together choruses.

Now, we were just trying to figure out a bit of an ending to it, since we agreed it dropped off a bit at the end.

"Hey, this is completely off topic, but you remember when Abby had chicken pox and we had to tape oven mitts to her hands so she didn't scratch?" Mo asked, smiling at the memory.

"Oh my gods, yeah! Then she threw one at Walker." I laughed as I recalled the event.

"This song is pretty catchy." Mo nodded, reading over the lyrics we'd written down.

"This song is catchier than Abby's chicken pox was." I shrug, continuing on the memory that had become a running joke in our friend group.

"Sooo, this song catchier than chicken pox is." Mo sang with a questioning tone.

"YES YOU GENIUS!" I shake her shoulders slightly before letting her write it down. "I lost my grinch socks at his house...I bet your house is where my other sock is." I sang questioningly, making Mo nod and laugh.

"We need 2 more things that rhyme with those lines." Mo nods as she writes. "Why'd you start writing again anyways?"

"Well I woke up one morning and I was just so confuzzled with my feelings, so I thought I'd write it out. Write a pop hit." I explain, my eyes widening in thought.

"Woke up this morning thought I'd write a pop hit!" I exclaim with a grin on my face as Momona nods, impressed by the creativity I'd been showing.

"We still need another line, or it still kind of drops off too early." Mo points out, to which I agree.

"What else rhymes with those lines though?" I ask, sending the both of us into deep thought.

"Oooh I got a good one." Mo laughs before sitting up. "How quickly can you take your clothes of pop quiz."

"You're a dork." I laugh. "What if we add a riff on quiz though?"

"Yes! Alright, I think we just wrote a song." Mo nods to herself as she begins reading the lyrics over.

Another hour later, Mo had used my laptop to create a beat for the song, and when we listened to the finished product, it was amazing.

We sent the link to the draft of the song to the groupchat, and they all loved it.

Mo went downstairs to go get snacks and fill up her water bottle for the night and I opened the notification.
