"Fathers, lock up your daughters, cause the boys are back in town" Emmett threw a sly look over his shoulder at us. Jasper laughed from the backseat and I rolled my eyes. Emmett was the one of us who could have any girl he wants. Actually, all of us could, Jasper and I just decided not to use that 'god-given power' as Em liked to call it. Not that Emmett did use it, but he knew he could use it to his advantage if he ever wanted to.
Even I have to say, my brothers and me have some pretty good genes. My mother, Esme, is gorgeous, even for a mom. And my dad, well, yeah, he looks pretty good too. Jasper looks more like dad. He inherited the blond hair and blue eyes. I look more like mom. My hair is slightly redder than her brown hair is, but you can definitely tell where I got it, just like my green eyes. Emmett's the one we tease all the time. We tell him he must have been adopted, because he's got brown eyes, the almost look black sometimes, and dark dark brown curly hair.
Anyways, we were driving in downtown Seattle - thats where our boarding school is - and Jasper decided he wanted Emmett to drop him off at the starbucks that was just off campus. "I'll just walk back to school when I'm done here" he said.
"Alright. Say 'hi' to Maria for us" Emmeet laughed when Jasper turned pink and shuffled out of the jeep. Maria was a girl who lives here permanantly. She doesnt go to our school, but Jaz met her at starbucks, where she works. He hasnt had the courage to ask her out yet, but I'm fairly sure she likes him too.
We sat in front of starbucks just long enough to see Jasper walk through the door, and then Emmett peeled out of the parking lot. I reached for the volume knob on the sterio to turn it up, but Em stopped me. "Do you think he's ever going to ask her out?" he asked me. He wasnt watching the road, he was looking sideways at me. "First of all, keep your eyes on the road." he rolled his eyes, but turned his head anyways, "Second of all, no, I dont think he will. I dont think he even really likes her that much. He just sees that she's interested and he's going with that. Once he sees that she's not a serious enough person for him, he'll forget all about her." Jaz never had a real relationship before, but I wasnt in any position to talk, because I havent either. "Hmm, yeah i guess. I hope you're right. Cause she's a stuck up little -"
"We're here" I cut him off. He pulled in the drive, and started heading for the west end parking building. "Dont park there!" I told him. "We're seniors now, we get new dorms. Park in the east structure, its coser to our rooms." Emmett huffed and turned around. As we headed down towards the east parking garage, I was fiddling with the radio when Em suddenly hit the brakes.
"What the hell?!" I asked, annoyed. I looked up at Emmett and saw that he was gawking out the from window. I turned pointedly in the direction, and stopped short. I now understood why Emmett was gawking. There, walking on the sidewalk about 30 feet ahead of us were two of the most gorgeous girls I had ever set my eyes on. Its like i got tunnel vision. Nothing else mattered. when I saw her, all I could hear was a song playing in my head with no lyrics. I'd have to fill them in later. "Holy Shit" Emmett said, and i was freed from my trance. "Hurry up and drive, it looks like their headed for the parking garage too." i instructed him. Usually Emmett, being the oldest, never liked when me and Jaz tried to tell him what to do. He always put up a fight. But this time, without even hesitating, he stomped on the gas and flew the rest of the way. We passed by the goddess' on our way, and i could tell they were annoyed by the speed of our passing car, but I didnt care.
She was beautiful. The two were the same height, same body type - curvy and long - and looked similar to each other. Related, maybe. One had long blonde hair that was pin straight hanging down her back. She was definatley good looking, but she wasnt the one that caught my attention. The other looked about the same, only more beautiful, more...soft somehow. With long brown hair that hung just below her shoulder blades, and her beautiful heart shaped face. Her skin was pale, but in an enduring way. it suited her. and her legs, her long long legs were so enticing as she walked towards a car. Her short denim shorts were a gift sent from heaven.
Emmett, i noticed, had his eye on the blonde. By now we were parked and getting out of the car. We played it cool, trying to make it look like we hadnt noticed them, but in reality, we we're watching their every moves from the corner of our eyes. As i unloaded my guitar from the trunk, i watched as the angel started running to a midnight blue ferrari. She did an amazing car race movie movie and slide across the hood of the car, laughing the whole time.
"Pleeeeease Rose! Pleeeeease let me drive today! You got to drive here yesterday, and i wanna take my baby out for a spin. Pleeeease?!" The brunette had asked the blonde, who's name i know gathered was Rose. Rose rolled her eyes, she was already sitting behind the wheel of a red M3. It look awfully farmiliar, but i couldnt place where i had seen it before. The girl named Rose hopped out of her car and closed the door. I waited, hoping that Rose would say my mystery girl's name. "Alright Angel." Angel. It suited her. But I couldnt be sure if that was just a nickname the friend had come up with for her, or if was her real name. "You can drive, but the princess wont be happy. She hates your car. Its not a convertible, like mine" Rose smirked. She climbed into the rolled down window of the ferrari and sat in the passenger seat. The angel still had not gotten in the car and I could see her sigh and roll her eyes before saying "well, she's just going to have to deal with it" and climbing into the drivers side and pulling out of her space.
This whole time, Emmett and I had been unloading our trunk, drinking in every word that was spoken. The music in my head still playing, trying to fight its way out. I garbbed my guitar case and grabbed a few other things. we could come back for the rest later. Emmett grabbed a lot more of the stuff, he was bulkier, he could handle it, and we made our was up to our new room.
In the hallway, we located the door number that was ours and dropped our stuff infront of it. While i was looking for the key ontop of the dor frame, i heard music. Not the same music from before, this was an actual song. and someone was singing along. It was coming from the room right across the hall from us.
But she wears short skirts
I wear T-shirts
She's cheer captain
And I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up
And find that what you're looking for has been here the whole time
I recognized it enough to figure out that it was Taylor Swift, that little country singer, and I groaned. "If we have to put up with that kind of music all the time, I'm asking for a new room." I told Emmett, and he just laughed. we opened the door to the room and through all our stuff in the main living room. "Hey Em, go back downstairs and grab your kit. I have an idea for a new song." He just looked at me like i was an idiot. i sighed. "Alright. Let's go." I sighed and walked back out of the room with Emmett following. It took us 3 trips to finally get his whole drum kit up the stairs, but when we got it set up I grabbed my guitar. "so, im just gonna play out a few bars of what i was thinking, and we can add the drums later, yeah?" i asked over my shoulder to Emmett. He just grunted, concentrating on the music i was about to play. I'd been thinking about lyrics during all our trips back to the car. I only had the first verse done, but it was still pretty good. I started playing, just fiddling around, trying to play the music i heard in my head earlier. When in came time for the first verse, i mostley just talked through them, to see if they fit.
We parked our car on the lower east side
And thats when she caught my eye yeah
She dressed so scandalous
But girls like that don't mess with guys like us
But I need to know her name
Halfway through the verse, Emmett started playing, trying to mix drums in so that it sounded good. It worked. Emmett's good like that. he can hear the baseline of any song once, and he can play a beat of his drum that matches. When i finished talking throug the first verse, Emmett picked up on talking. It took me a minute to realize that he was creating a chorus.
When I hit that floor
Gonna give her more then she bargained for
Hey! you know
Love how your body flows
Hey! You know
Lets see how far this goes
Tension so thick girl I can't wait
To see how well your moves translate
Think your more then I can take
I kept playing. So did he. And when we couldnt think of anymore lyrics, we still kept playing, starting it over and over, hoping more words would come to us as we played. It wasnt long before Jaz walked in from starbucks and silently picked up his bass and started working his way into the song.
My brothers and I, incase you havent guessed, are in a band. Usually, the school hires us to play at dances and such. Its pretty cool. We seem to fit together musically. We can pick up on any new song the other writes instantaneously, we work with each other to write every song (of course we've each written our own lyrics too, but then we all have an input when it comes to the music part).
We stopped playing after awhile. We wanted to go get some food. Jasper, who had been silent up until this point, said "Guys that was really good. How'd you come up with that?" he placed his bass back on the stand and started walking towards the door. I froze for a second and my eyes flased to Emmett's. His grin mirrored mine. Then, we burst out laughing. Jasper was shocked, to say the least. And complained the whole ride to the diner about us not telling him our story. It would have to wait for another day.
