Chapter 2
"How exciting!" Mum says.
"You have?" Dad says.
"Yeah. I play bass, my mate Matt plays drums and Jaime is on guitar."
"Who's the singer?" Mum asks.
"My good mate Alex." He says.
"Wonderful!" Mum cheers.
"And I was thinking. I could bring Sarah here with me everyday to band practise after school."
"What?" Dad says.
"What? Really?!" I shout in excitment.
"Yeah. It would be a good experience for her. And hey, it might be fun having my Lil pip sister around." He says ruffling my hair.
"Oh thank you Nick!" I shout.
"Alright. She can go." Dad agrees.
I squeal.
This is gonna be fun.
Maybe that kid with the leather jacket will be there?
That night I went to bed happy. After school I waited by a post by the front of the school.
"What are you doing here TOT?!" Some jocks yell.
"Waiting for my brother..." I answer shyly.
"Well you're on our turf. You best get off or else we-"
"Leave her alone, mate." A voice interupts.
"What did you say?"
"I said, leave 'er alone."
"Why should we?" They ask.
"Look at 'Er. She's just a girl." I look over to the voice and It's the boy with the leather jacket from yesterday.
"Whatever." They say as they walk away.
"Ya' alright there?" He asks.
"Yeah...thanks..." I say shyly.
"You're an O'Malley. Right?" He asks.
"Yeah." I nod.
"And Nick is your brother?"
"Yeah, how'd you know?" I ask.
"Saw you yesterday. You opened up the door for Nick." He says.
I nod.
"What're you doing around here?" He asks.
"Waiting for Nick. He's gonna take me to band practice with him." I beam.
"Is he then? Well. You're brothers just in the toilets." He says.
"Ah..."
"What's your name?" He asks Me.
"Sarah, Sarah O'Malley."
"Right. Good name. I'm Alex Turner." He smiles.
"Good to meet you..." I say.
I take a moment to take him in.
Slick back brown hair, a dark brown almost black. Dark brown eyes. Perfect lips that curl up ever so slightly into a smirk, and a ciggeret just dangling from them.
Soon, Nick comes jogging up.
"Hey! See you've met my sister." He says to Alex.
He nods.
"Right, well, let's get a move on." He says.
Nick begins to walk away and Alex looks at me for a moment. When I meet his eyes, he winks, smirks and turns away to walk with Nick.
I stand there for a minute and realize what happened. Then I finally snap out of it and run to catch up to my brother, and a certain Alex Turner.
