10. just friends
"We're sorry to announce this, but the Music Festival has been cancelled this year due to lack of participation from our students, next year- if at least 20 of you don't apply we'll start forcing-"
Our principal, Mr. Proulx stated from the intercom.
I zoned out after a bit, totally defeated.
The Music Festival was cancelled?
After all these years, I finally mustered up the courage to participate...and it gets cancelled.
"However...if we can get a number of 20 volunteers at least, fully prepared by April 30th, the Music Festival will still take place this year."
My ears suddenly perked up. Well not literally, but you get the gist.
All I had to do was convince nineteen people to partake in the Music Festival.
I was great at persuasion when I needed to be.
I probably looked shady as fuck as I cracked my knuckles in the middle of the hallway, but that was besides the point.
The point was that I was on a mission.
As for my first victim-
My lips spread into a sketchy grin. I knew those shoulders anywhere..
I ran up behind Anthony, knocking him into a locker in the process.
"Let me guess."
He sighed deeply.
"You want me to participate in The Music Festival?"
He muttered something afterwards that sounded like child molest.
"Molest what?"
I stared at him waiting for a reply. I could picture him rolling his eyes at my baffled expression.
"Mi pequeña molestia."
"The fuck does that mean?"
He curled his lip up in a sneer. "It means I don't do music."
I shoved him.
"It doesn't have to be singing, you can make a musical presentation. Like about your favorite singer."
He shoved me back.
"If I had a fuck to give, I'd lend it but I don't so- I really could care less about some dumb ass Music Festival."
I glared at him but his stature never wavered. I'd bet a hundred bucks he had an unfazed expression on his face.
"Do it for the vine-"
"I ain't gon do it"
His lips twitched after he said it
"Do it for the vine."
I repeated.
"I ain't gon-"
He suddenly started krumping.
I bursted out into loud hyena-like laughter, but only for a moment before I regained my seriousness.
"But seriously ThonThon, please..for me?"
He tapped his chin thoughtfully, making dramatic 'hmm' noises.
"Nah Felicity, just for calling me ThonThon. Can't do it."
