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.
