I'm nervous. Monte invited me to band practice, they have their own house with a studio. I walk towards the door I feel my throat swell. There's a little note on the right side of the door. it says

Sorry we're playing music so we're in an isolated room, we won't hear the bell. so there's a key under the matt.

I pick it up

I go in, the house is beautiful it has three levels, I hear someone in the kitchen. I go around the corner and Monte is standing there, I feel my throat relax as he walks towards me, he's eating and apple "how are you?' he asks with his mouth full, I laugh "I'm fine" je nods " the others should be here soon" he gives me a glass of what I suppose is water or vodka ( you never know with Monte) and I almost let it slip because I'm so nervous to meet the other members. I don't even know if they are nice. 'm worrying when I hear the door closing. A boy with long blond Hair walks into the house and begins to talk Italian to Monte, he doesn't even notice me. Then he accidentally bumps into me with his bag, "I'm so sorry," he says "you're new aren't you? Monte told us about you. I'm Allo" he says with a charming smile, he is wearing pink suit with flared Pants and I ask myself if being beautiful maybe is a rule for this band, another boy comes in he is really silent and he is carrying a guitar bag, he has black long Hair in two Dutch braids and blue Smokey eyes, he is wearing a black see through blouse and red flared pants, "Nathaniel" Monte exclaims, and kisses him on his mouth, Nathaniel smiles and runs his hand through his Hair my heart freezes , I thought Monte was single, I don't know why it stings me, he is far out of my league. I notice Nathaniel kissing Allo too, I look confused at Monte, he smiles and Signs that it's normal, we Just kiss each other, i don't have any relationships. I feel myself relax. I notice Nathaniel is signing towards me, he says I can call him Nathan he asks if I'm deaf ,I respond that I'm not he laughs and shakes my Hand "call me Nathan, You're David, right? Monte has asked me to teach him sign language so he could talk to you" he leans forward, away from monte, he smells like citrus and roses, "if he puts such effort in something, I'm sure he likes you" he winks, his voice is surprisingly soft and high, but he has a Thick accent I never heard before, he is definitely a shy Guy if he's not with his Friends, I notice that because of his nails, they are painted but very short, that means je likes nails but if he's stressed he chews on Them, also the fidgeting with his hands although I also think he says everything translating everything into sign language as he speaks, I swallow the lump in my throat and start to talk, it's not my normal voice, I speak really soft and with very much air, "thanks, I guess, how do you guys know each other or do all beautiful people know each other" I ask jokingly. "High school" Allo says, they all chuckle, "so is this everyone???" "Nope we're waiting on Marlene" Nathan begins to speak Italian, I'm not sure what he says but it's apparently something funny because the boys start laughing, I'm worried it's something about me and I feel my throat pushing itself together, i feel a hand on my hand Monte looks at me with a dreamy gaze, Nathan looks more worried, he sign I have to go on breathing, "we were talking about how Marlene is always too late, even at high school, we weren't talking about you." Nathan smiles and Allo chuckles like you do if you see a puppy for the first time, a tall Girl walks into the room, she has a blonde Pixie cut that's growing out she's wearing a boyfriend jeans and a black creepy t shirt and a beautiful hat. She starts talking Italian "english" scream Nathan and Monte at the same time. "You all from Italy?" I ask my voice is a little better now that Monte is holding my hand, "nope, Nathan is fully Italian, allo is Greek but learned Italian when he was Young, Marlene learned it in high school especially for is because we also make Italian songs, and I'm half Italian" Monte says "cool" "if you want to a part of is you have to learn it too" Nathan says, I'm stunned by the insinuation I could be part of these cool people. We walk towards the studio, I'm excited to hear them play
