Eighteen

A/N: Read other author's note at the end pls. :(

~Ross' P.O.V~

". . . That moment when we kiss, by the lake, pouring rain. I ain't no superman, but I can change your world. Oh woo ooh ooh ooh. Here Comes Forever." Laura sang sweetly while scribbling something on her notebook. It was another Monday so obviously first period was Math. She was in early and she sat in front for the first time in the whole senior year for math class.

I clapped. "Woohoo!" I cheered with my hands cupped by my mouth to modulate my voice. "Laura Marano everybody!"

Laura started to laugh and she slapped my head playfully with her notebook.

"More! More! More!" I chanted while pumping my fist up in the air.

"Shut u-- okay!" Laura gave in. She exhaled with her eyes closed, doing hand gestures.

"I might just go crazy! 'Cause you're my best friend's baby!" Laura sang and I can't help but find her accent. . . Hot? She continued, "But you got me thinking maybe, just maybe. . . I don't know what to do. . ."

"I'm in love with someone else's girl!" I sang in a key higher while she sang in the melody tone, saying 'guy' instead of 'girl'.

"You rock my world!" We simultaneously sang but this time, I was the one who sang in melody, while she sang in a soprano one tone.

"But you're the one that I can't have," I let Laura sing the line alone and she added some vocal riffs to the last tone.

"Oh girl, I want you bad!" I sang in my most powerful chest voice. Wow, 8:15 in the morning and our voices' are working like a pro.

Laura breathes in to sing the next line then--

"In my crazy mind I'm with you all the time!" A voice sang. A voice that's definitely NOT Laura's. Wow, did frogs just evolve from croaking to singing actual songs?

"Hey, Caroline!" Laura exclaims.

Her. . .

Okay, am I like Rydel now?

"Laura! Oh." Caroline runs up to Laura and gives her big, sweet hug. Sarcasm on point.

Okay, I think I got Rydel's language too.

Do I sound girly? Like, Rydel kind of girly?

"You know the song?" Laura asks, pulling away from the friendly hug.

Caroline nods. "Totally! It's like the best song off the EP!" She looks at me a very wide beam.

"Yay." I sarcastically cheer. Well, it was obviously not a real cheer.

"Hey, Caroline?" I ask.

"Yeah?" She replies, taking a seat beside Laura.

"What're you doing here? Isn't your first class English?" I ask, making it perceptible that I wanna shoo her away.

"Well, because I want to be with my adorable boyfriend. I changed my schedule last friday," she answers.

Mister Anderson enters the room as sleek as he is and I quickly take a seat on the other side of Laura.

"Good morning class," he says, putting his things on his desk. "So today we--" he pauses, looking at me questioningly.

"Who are you?" He asks. "Are you the one who switched from Miss York's first Monday period?"

"That'd me sir." Caroline raised her hand. "Caroline Taylor."

Mister Anderson nods. "Taylor, yes." He turns back to me, narrowing his eyes. "Then who are you?"

"Lynch, sir. Ross Lynch."

He pushes his glasses up and looks at me wide eyes. "You sure?"

Laura looks at me then to Mister Anderson and nods. "He is sure."

"Well then," Mister Anderson starts. "Today we aren't having first, second and third period."

The class roared, howled and Mister Anderson can't help it but yelled to settle them all down. Luckily Caroline, Laura and I remained silently happy. I wonder where Chris is.

"But those periods won't be used as free period."

"Aww." The class complains in unison. This time, the three of us we're lamenting too.

"Because we have visitors in the building. We are headed to the auditorium."

"Is this another health talk, sir?" Somebody from the back asks.

"No, I believe a band is playing today."

"OMG, is there like a concert?" A very annoying girl who was behind me asks. That girl and I share a couple of classes and she's pretty annoying.

"Well, yes. Now return your bags in your locker and head to the auditorium. Class dismissed."

People were sprinting out of the classroms while I remained with Laura and Caroline. I expected Caroline  to go away but she still stayed.

"Where's Chris?" I asked.

"I don't know." Caroline shrugs. "Maybe he skipped class today."

"Well, we better get going. We might get locked out of the auditorium." Laura pulls both of us out.

"If we get locked out, then yay!" I cheer, still being dragged by Laura.

"If we get locked out, we'll stay in the library. Nay!" Laura laments.

I puff. "Okay then."

"Ross!" I heard someone yell my name.

"What?" I reply, even if I don't know who I was specifically replying to.

"Delly!" Laura exclaims, rushing off.

"Del!" Caroline joined in.

If she only knew how much Rydel hated her.

And what was Rydel doing here?

"Ross! Didn't you see the note on your door?" Rydel asks, as I reach them.

"What note?"

"Ugh, we told you to skip class today!"

"What, really?" I lighted up.

"Well, you'll still be here, though. Now dress up." She handed me a plain black top with some black Chuck Taylor's.

"Why?"

"We're gonna perform!"

"Today?" I ask.

"Mhm." Del nods. "Tah-day."

"How are my jeans?" I ask, running off to the wash room.

"They're good!" Rydel yells back.

*

"What's up everybody?!" I roared into the mic while the spotlight gradually shining on me.

The people cheered. I wonder if they know who we were.

The light was on full power on me, now everybody looks confused.

"Ross?" A guy from the front row mouths.

"Hey guys, we're R5!"

Ellington played his drums with his all best. Rydel were starting some notes on the keyboard and Rocky came along with the guitar.

"In the back of a taxi cab. . ."

*

"That was awesome!" Laura exclaims, running towards the side of the stage engulfing me in a hug.

I hugged her back. "What can you say? It's R5 you're talking 'bout!"

Laura pulls away from me and playfully ruffles my hair. "Yup, it is R5 I'm talking about."

I exhale, finally thinking about that thing I wanted to tell Laura. I thought about it on stage. Who knew the best time you can think about stuff is when you're up on stage performing? Okay, I'm just weird.

"Laura. . ."
