"What?! Jack?!"
"Oh that came out wrong I meant the person to your left." Ayla corrected.
"Malcolm?! I have to kiss Malcolm?"
"Yeah."
I kissed him on the cheeks and Ayla whined.
"You didn't say how so I kissed him on the cheek. Obviously fair."
"Shut up! I won't forget next time."

-Time Skip-

"Guys I'm going up to the roof." I said.
"You can't let your day pass without doing that can you?" Finn asked following me.
"You know the answer."

• Finn's POV

We sat on the roof and April put on her headphones. I grabbed one of the earbuds to see what she was listening to...

Cold Bones... yeah that's my love
She glides away... like a ghost
Does she know that we bleed the same?
Don't wanna cry but I break that way...

"What time is it?" Finn asked.
"4:18_"
"Oh shit. I've gotta go."
"What? Where_"
He rushed downstairs and out of the house.
I went downstairs as well.
"Guys why was Finn so hurried?"
"Oh he was meeting up with a friend." Malcolm said.
"Uh-huh. By the way, guys I wanted to check out the vinyl shop to see if ours has been out."
"Oh good, buy it if you found it."
"Will do. Later!"
I went out and to my house.
I absolutely wasn't going to go looking like this.
I changed into this...

I headed for the nearest vinyl shop as the breeze caressed my long brown hair.
I arrived there and greeted the owner of the shop.
"Hey Dan, what's up?" I tried to be friendly.
"Nothing except your tracks finding their way here."
"Oh my god! Seriously? I'm so happy right now! Give a minute to fully comprehend your sentence."
"Haha, it's right over there on the last aisle."
"Thanks."
I heard loud laughs as I approached the last aisle.
And when I reached I saw...FINN?!
Yeah... Finn with his friend who was a girl around our age.
I pretended like I hadn't seen them but he soon spotted me as I was picking up our vinyl.
"April?! What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Finn?! I was looking for our vinyl. What are you doing here? You left the house like a bat out of hell."
"Haha, I came to meet up with my childhood friend who's staying here for a week. Charlie this is April the pianist of our band and April this is Charlie, she plays the piano too!"
"Oh really then why didn't you choose her as the pianist of the band?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"She's never around!" He said between giggles.
"Anyways nice to meet you." I said.
"Nice to meet you too, by the way I would love to hear you play." She answered.
"You give me challenge vibes."
"Up for it?" She said winking.
"Definitely."
"Okay let's head to our place, we have a piano." Finn said.
"Alright let me buy this first." I said as I left for the cashier.

-Time Skip-

"Oh hel_ Charlie?!" Ayla exclaimed as they pulled each other into a hug. Ayla doesn't greet me like this.
"Hey Ayla we agreed to have a challenge so..." Charlie said.
"A challenge?" Malcolm asked.
"Yeah... piano." I answered.
"Oh! But I better warn you about April, she won't miss. She plays with bleeding knuckles!" Jack said and I mocked him with my elbow chuckling.
"We'll see." Charlie said.
"Who first then?" I ask.
"Me?" She said.
"Show me whatcha got."
She started playing Havana and singing to it. I would really like to say she sounded like a dying goat but she actually had a great voice.
"Done! Piece of cake." She said and got up. I sat on the chair and inhaled a huge amount of air. I started playing Someone like you.

Never mind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you...

"So Ayla?" Charlie asked who Ayla would vote for.
"I cannot." Ayla said.
"Oh c'mon forget we're your friends and vote for who played fucking better!" I said.
"Yeah forget I'm your best friend and vote." Charlie said. What the fuck dude?!
"So... I vote for... April." She said with a worried expression.
"Finn?" I asked.
"I vote for Charlie." He said and I rolled my eyes.
"Malcolm?"
"I vote for April." Malcolm said.
"Jack? Where's Jack?"
"His phone rang or better say he ran away." Finn said.
"Haha." I laughed.
"So? You're the winner?"
"You said it." I wink at her.

"Okay how about we throw a party tonight to welcome Charlie?!" Ayla exclaimed.
"Aww thanks!" Charlie said as we all shrugged.
"We're gonna party tonight!"

I didn't go home to change because I looked fine?
