Joy's POV

.
.
.

"THE LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST NEW GENERATION OF BAND!!!!!", said the announcer....

.
.
.
.
.
.

Why am I getting nervous though we practiced so much already.... My heart starts running fast.... and fast....

.
.
.
.
.
.

*I want to run away....*

.
.
.
.

But I really love singing....

.
.
.
.
.
.

Why am I getting nervous..... @__@.
.

Announcer: "THE ZIGIZAG!!!!!",

Students: "AAAAAHHHH!!! xD ",

.
.
.
.

Hearing them so much cheering and clapping..... I'm more getting nervous now as my hands keep shaking and so cold..... Asking why I came to this.....

.
.
.
.

"H... hey?? Are you okay Joy D: ??", Gizmo then talked....

"Giz.... I'm too.... nervous..... What should I do? •___•",

"It's okay Joy, we're here ;) ",

.
.
.

"Let's get up guyz", Zeina said as Pearce came first up stage.... preparing his bass...

.
.
.
.

"Let's go :) ", Gizmo said, pushing me up stage

"Wa.... wait.... I'm not.. •__• ",

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

"Sooooooooo~!! This is sooo exciting~!! A new beautiful vocalist one!!! The chess champion!!! JOY PEPPER!!! And the one who joined the CosBest booth and got the best outfit award!!!!",

.
.
.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!! XDDD JOY PEPPER!! JOY PEPPER!! JOY PEPPER!!!",

.

The crowded students is cheering on us.... I feel so happy but still nervous.... This is actually my first time as a vocalist..... What should I......

.

.
.

"PEARCE!!! WE LOVE YOU!!! *whistling fans* Zeina and Pearce forever!!! AAAHHH!!!!! xD ",

"THAT KEYBOARDIST IS SO CUTE!!!!! AAAAHHHH!!!! I WANNA DATE HIM!!!!! XDD ", said fans... while Gizmo is waving his hand cheerfully...

.
.
.
.
.
.
.

My hands are so cold, shaking.... But I don't let them notice this... I don't want to disappoint my bandmates too....!

.
.
.
.
.

"Soooo.... What are you gonna' sing n perform??",

.
.
.
.
.

I held my mic carefully and about to answer but it was feedbacking.... a very high pitch noise that made the students down the stage to cover their both ears...

.
.
.
.

"Sooo? What is that again??", said the announcer....

.
.
.
.

"I....I'm so nervous •u•"", I said accidentally

"I'm so nervous?? WOW~ that's great then!! Hahaha!!",

The students laughed because of what I've said.... Made me feel too much more nervous..... God help me..... Joy! Wake Up! •__• I know You are with me God.. but...... I want to run away..... If I could only run away...... •u•" Oh wheeeereeeee aammm iii aaagggainnahahaha

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

"GO JOY!!",

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
..

I heard someone's familiar voice... As I looked down the stage that Christopher Quantum.... Smiling.

.
.
.

"Heyy... Isn't that Chris??", Chrimy fan whispered

"Yeah.... what's between him and that stupid emo girl?", Chrimy #2 fan whispered back then laughed together....

.
.
.

Because they were almost at front of stage.... I heard what they were talking.... Made me shake more nervously why on earth I already have a basher •__• that I couldn't see positive anymore.... The Chrimy fan kept on whispering on each other, then looked at me, then laughed...

.
.
.
.

Gizmo answered the announcer 'cuz I couldn't stay calm anymore....

.
.
.
.

"SOMEWHERE IN NEVERLAND by ALL TIME LOW~ *winks* ",

.
.
.
.

"Wow~!!", said announcer

"AAAAHHH!! The keyboardist guy!!!! xDDD ", fans said

.

.
.
.
.

"So what are you waiting fooooorrrrrrr!!!! LET'Sssssss!!! RrrrrOooooCccccKkkkk!!!!!!!! ",

"AAAAHHHwww Yyyyyeeeaaahhh!!!!! xDDD *whistles* *claps* ",

.
.
.
.
.
.

Chris' POV

.
.
.

My eyes have widened surprisingly! 'Cuz That's what I want to sing earlier!!!

.
.
.
.

Wow, nice Idea....

.
.
.
.
.

"And Ms. Chess Champion?? You are going to dedicate it to???",

.
.
.
.
.

"Uhmm.... C....Ch.....", said Joy

.
.
.
.
.

Ch?? Mee??

.
.
.
.

"YEAH YOU! CHRISTOPHER QUANTUM!*POINTS OUT MADLY*  ----",

.
.
.
.

What?! Me???!

.
.
.
.
.

"Oh oh oh~ Seems like, there's someone who's falling in love here~ huh??", said the announcer then elbowed Joy...

"AAAAAHHH!!!! xDDD ", fans said

"Nooooo what??", the other fans whispering to each other

.
.
.
.

"Whaaaa falling in love?! Haha!! No, you misunderstood hahaha", Joy answered the announcer quickly

"Huh??", said announcer

"I dedicate this song to everyone who's wishing for another chance, to get back on their past lives.... To everyone who wants to start all over again!! And I think this song fits to..... Chris and Amy! *motivated expression!* ", she said...

.
.
.
.
.
.

"Ohh... So you considered it as their theme song?? ",

"Y... yeah... *shines eyes* ",

"AAAAAHHHH!!!! xDD ", Students then cheering...

.
.
.

"Oh 'kay?? Let's start!!!",

.
.
.
.

The announcer put a step back away again.... So the center of attraction is now, Joy....

.
.
.
.
.
.

But Joy seemed nervous again.... *facepalmed* Yup.... How could I forget that face of hers? She's my childhood bestfriend...

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Joy's POV

The announcer then puts a step away.... 'Cuz I'm the vocalist, they keep focusing on me.... Not even starting..... But..... I think.... I can sing.....? But.... O___O What if It turn awkwardly embarrasing...? I'm so afraid... *inner self panickingggg!! AAAAAAA*

.
.
.
.
.

Zeina then starts hitting the drum so much cool as Pearce and Gizmo are playing instrumentals.... but me.... playing rhythm awkwardly, oh no I forgot to tune in my guitar ._. a bad start.....

.
.
.
.

Zeina then stops hitting it 'cuz it's becoming wrong.... *She glares at me boredly*

.
.
.
.

"Ohh....", said the announcer....

"Awwwww", said the audience(s) ,,, disappointed....

.
.
.
.

Everything goes quiet..... A moment of silence.

.
.
.
.
.

But I don't want to disappoint them.

.
.
.
.
.
.

"Let me just start all over aga-"

.
.
.
.
.

"Tsk.... Why did I choose you anyway....", said Pearce... whispering to himself....

.
.
.
.
.

"I told you...", Zeina said to him...

.
.
.

Gizmo seemed worried at me....

.
.
.
.
.

I was about to boost out my inner confidence but after hearing Pearce and Zeina I suddenly felt like a tool. I thought they trusted me a lot.

.
.
.
.

"Oh oh oh~! Bad start! Can you guyz, start it over again~?", Announcer said...

.
.
.
.
.

I should run away then.... *sighs* I think they're right.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

"Wait!!", said Chris...

.
.
.

Students: Huh?? *looks at Chris*

.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Chris then came up stage, plugged in his guitar.... And goes on front... standing next to me.... Strumming testing his guitar....

.
.
.
.
.
.

"Ch.... Chris....?",

.
.
.
.
.
.
.

"Joy... It's gonna be alright..... I'm here.....And hey tune in your guitar.",

.
.
.
.
.

he said then starts strumming his guitar, looking at me, smiling.... *I able to tuned my guitar on that moment* then-

Chris: Joy.... *strumming*

I joined a band to prove something...

ALL'S POV

.
.
.

Chris: "Well start a life of a "plain" and a "simple... *arguing with her*",

.
.
.

Joy: "Of great times with "far better" people~! *pointed him*

.
.
.

Chris: "And weekends together, laughing 'bout the "Diaries" we've read~!!",

.
.
.
.

Todd: The hell... this two keeps changing the lyrics... o_o

.
.
.
.
.
.

Joy: !!!

.
.
.
.
.

Chris: "We talk about how your parents "SO BUSY"

"How you don't wanna' make the same mistakes as
them~",

.
.
.

Joy: "I'll say it's all about sticking it out!

but we're not always forever young~!",

.
.
.
.
.

Chris: "But here we go again~!! *goes near Joy*

Joy: h....?? *steps back*

Chris: "Joy, listen to me!",

.
.
.

Joy: *mic feedbacking*

Students: ... Oh????

.
.
.
.

A moment of silence...

.
.
.
.
.
.

Chris' POV

Everything goes quiet... We stopped playing our instruments too....

.
.
.

"Nice Try Chris! Why are you doing this?!", Joy said, yelling...

.
.
.

"Nice try too?! You are the one who started it anyway?! Changing the lyrics huh?!", I replied glaring at her

.
.
.
.

"And who said about getting UP HERE to sing MY SONG!!!",

.
.
.

"WHAT?! I'M JUST WORRIED THAT MY BESTFRIEND WERE ALMOST DYING ON NERVOUSNESS",

.
.
.

"I AM NOT!"

"NO JOY, YOU ARE!"

(A lightning on us, glaring on each other)

.
.
.
.
.

Students: O.o ??????? *watching the arguing show*

.
.
.
.
.
.

"Great Chris, pretender..",

"What do you mean.... Preten--??",

"You're doing this for show! 'Cuz you want fame right? That's what you're good at anyway..",

.
.
.
.

Fan: Woooooo! "LQ" !!!!

.
.
.
.

Then the students start cheering us up... Combining our names.... As we turned to them surprisingly....

.
.
.
.
.

"JORIS!!! JORIS!!! JORIS!!!",

"NOooo!!! AMY!! AMY!!! CHRIMY!!!!",

the fans then started to fight each other as the crowded people rumbled, program became sabotage...

.
.
.

"Oh oh oh!!! Guyz!! Stop it!!", The announcer yelled panicking at the students rumbling down the stage, throwing everything to each other....

The orange guy with Pearce and Zeina was stopping the rumbling fans...

.
.
.
.

"Guys, hey sto-

argghh Chris! This is your fault!",

Joy glared at me turned away walking fastly down the stage...

"What?! This is "yours~!!" fault!!", I replied while chasing on her...

.
.
.
.

Joy's POV

"If you are my best friend you should have believed me I can do it Chris, *keeps walking away* But I know this is for your own good. Todd's right, it's easy for you to think girls would be fooled 'cuz I know how you're cheaping me. *picks up a tiny little rock to throw it on him but-*

.
.
.
.
.
.

"Cheap?! You?! I just love you Joy *messes his hair* Is it bad that I'm concerned?!"

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

I paused.... for a moment.

.
.
.
.
.
.

Chris then paused too...

.
.
.
.
.
.

"Stop using me....", I answered without turning around.

.
.
.
.
.
.
..
..
..
..

.
.
.

Chris then hit me on my head lightly.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

"What bestfriends are for!"

"Ow..", *I turned on him holding my head*

.
.
..
.
..
.
.
..
.
..
.
.
..

And we're closed enough to look eye to eye accidentally.

.
.
.
.
.
.

...
...
...
...
...
...

.
.
.
.

Chris' POV

I hit her lightly on her head and she turned into me.. great. We stared on for a moment and I gained back my usual self.

"I.. I said I'm sorry! *blush*",

Joy's POV

Chris....??

I turned to him and he started just looking down and closed his eyes tightly.... I remembered him doing this when we were young. I guess he was about to cry.

I patted on his head as he was slowly opening his eyes.

.
.
.
.
.
.

"*sighs*.. Joy.. I don't know what to do anymore.. I feel like, I'm always doing the wrong thing.. It wasn't my intention to make Amy cry.. and to make you feel that.. I just *covers his face* I think.. I'm  selfish.."

.
.
.
.
.

.
.
.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.

I smiled at him worrying and handed him handkerchief...

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

"I.... have one! I can do wipe my tears too!", he pouted and turned away wiping his tears blushing... flashing back his childhood attitude on my mind....

.
.
.
.

"I.... I'm sorry Chris....",

.
.
.
.

"?! *turned in me again* No.... I..... I'm sorry.... ",

"No Chris.... I'm so--",

"I love you Joy...",

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

"Ch.. Chris?",

.
.
.
.

"As my bestfriend! *He pinched my left cheek hardly* Why are you giving me that look!",

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"Aahh nothing Chrishh ishtop thaaa"
.
.

He smiled at me and let go from pinching.... Like for a sudden.... he became mature with that smile....

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

"I.... wonder.." -Me

Chris looked surprised.. And replied:

.
.
.
.
.
.
.

"Oh well whatever you're thinking. I think your right."

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

My eyes widened with confusions.

.
.
.
.

I saw him realizing what he said. His eyes had widened as he ran away quickly while blushing.....

.
.
.
.
.
.
.

I was left alone...

.
.
.
.
.
.

Puzzling on my mind....

.
