Chapter 6

After lunch everyone was heading to class. Tara sure does know how to throw a surprise.

"Can I have your attention please!" shouted principal Moreno. Everyone stopped and faced her from up stairs.

"I want you all to know that this lunch time fiasco was a… fiasco. It is time for a certain DJ rain of rebel to come to an end." she said. What's going on?

"So, anyone with any information regarding the identity of this Radio Rebel. Is to report it to me immediately, or risk facing disciplinary action themselves. Now get to class." she finished.

Oh great principal Moreno sure needs to calm down. I don't get what Tara did wrong.

"Anna did hear?" asked Audrey.

"Yeah, as long as she doesn't know its Tara she's fine." I whispered.

"You're right. I hope Tara's okay." she said.

"Yeah I hope so too." I said then I gave a good bye hug to Audrey.

I was about to head up stairs until, I saw Tara with a worried look on her face.

"Tara are you okay?" I asked.

"Uh yeah I'm fine… I gotta go. See yeah." said Tara. I wonder what's wrong with her.

I got up stairs and I ran into someone.

"Hey, watch where you're going." I heard someone say.

"Oh, I'm sorry." I said. Then I saw, it was Stacey.

"Hey Stacey." I said.

"Where are your glasses four eyes." she asked mocking me and Kim was laughing.

"I left them at home." I said.

"Why you trying to fit with us, geek." she said.

"No, I just decided not to wear them and in case you wondering I'm wearing my contacts." I said. No way was I telling her that it was Gabe's idea.

"Whatever it is. Its no going to work Anna you'll always be a geek." she said.

"I don't care at least I'm being myself." I said.

I walked away form her and headed to class.

Gabe's House

I was heading over to Gabe's and I saw Gavin and the two other band members leaving the garage.

"Hey Gavin." I said.

"Hey uhh-." said Gavin.

"Anna, I'm Tara's friend." I said.

"Oh right." he said.

"Is Gabe here? He and I have homework to do." I asked.

"Yeah he's in the garage." he answered.

"Thanks." I said and entered in the garage.

I saw Gabe with his guitar. "Hey rockstar." I said.

He turned. "Hey Anna you're early. I thought you weren't coming for another half an hour." he said.

"Yeah well I was just too exited to see you… I mean I was too exited to rehears the song." I said all nervous. Why did I say that.

"Alright then lets rehears the song." he said. He grabbed two stools and his guitar.

We started to sing and during the song I just could't help, but smile at Gabe and he kept his eyes on me. After we were done it was quite. I didn't know what to say.

"So, how was rehearsal with the band?" I asked.

"It was good." he said.

"Gabe, you remember what you said to me yesterday about you not being yourself on stage." I said.

"I remember. What about it?" he asked.

"Why don't you just be yourself on stage?" I asked. It was quite again and then he answered.

"I don't know. I guess I'm afraid to show the real me." he said.

"Sounds like someone I know." I said referring to myself.

Then we heard to a door open and I saw Gabe's sister Lilly.

"Gabe Mom needs your help in the kitchen." she said.

"Tell her I'll be there in a minute." he said. Then she left.

"Hey Anna, do you want to stay for dinner? If you want." he asked.

"I don't know, maybe, I'll have to call my Mom first." I said.

"Okay, but I'll be in the kitchen alright." he said and he left.

I called my mom and she said yes, since she was working late.

I went in and I saw Gabe helping his mom with the groceries. Then she saw me.

"Gabe who is this?" she asked.

"Mom, this is Anna a girl in my music class." he said.

"Well its nice to meet you Anna." she said.

"You too Ms. LaViolet" I said.

"Mom is it okay if Anna could joins us for dinner?" he asked his mom.

"Well I guess its fine." she said.

I stayed from dinner and it was pretty cool. Gabe's mom kinda reminds me of my Mom, and his sister Lilly is the sweetest little girl I met.

After dinner I helped Gabe's mom with the dishes and Gabe went outside to throw away the trash bag.

"So Anna, are you dating Gabe?" she asked. My eyes widen when she asked that.

"Uhh, no he and I are just friends." I said.

"Oh well, it's just because he talks about all the time" she said. Gabe has talked about me? That's really sweet.

"Really well, that nice of him." I said.

Then I heard a bump coming outside and it was Gabe.

"Were you spying on us?" I asked to him.

"What? No I wasn't." he said. Then I sprayed water on him.

"Hey! Okay then." he said. Then he threw water at me.

All of a sudden we had a water fight. After that I was about to go home.

"Anna, you want me to drive you home?" he asked.

"Uhh… sure I guess." I said.

As Gabe drove me home it was pretty quite I got so nervous. Then he pulled over in front of my house.

"Thanks for the ride." I said.

"Yeah well I'm glade you came over, and I can't believe what my mom said." he said.

"About you and me." I said.

"Yeah, that was…" he trailed off.

"akaward." I finished.

"Yeah. It was." he said.

"Gabe, I don't know why, but I kinda feel a little different around you, in a good way." I said.

"That's funny, because I feel the same way as well." he said.

We stared at each other for a while till I realized I needed to go.

"I gotta go, I'll see yeah tomorrow." I said getting out of the car.

"Yeah see yeah tomorrow." he said and drove off.

In my room.

After Gabe left I started to write that song in my music book again. This time I came up with this.

But now that I get you

I know fear is what it really was

"Hey Anna" I heard and I saw my Mom.

"Hey Mom." I said.

"How was your night with Gabe?" she asked.

"It was cool." I said.

"Are you two are getting along?" she asked.

"Yeah Mom we are and its not so bad." I said.

"Well I'm glade you two are getting along." she said.

"Yeah me too." I said.

"Good night." she said.

"Good night Mom." I said and she left the room.

As the week kept on passing by not only was Tara growing more popular as Radio Rebel, but so were my feelings for Gabe.

Like how much we loved music that I showed him every single song I wrote in my song book, and he showed me every song he wrote as well.

Or how much we cared about our freinds and family that we do anything for them.

I feel more confident being around him. That he started to help me with that song in my song book.

I guess I was wrong about him being a jerk, he actually is really sweet, funny, and caring.

At School

Audrey and I found out that Tara aka "Radio Rebel" was nominated for prom queen. So we were looking for her and found her.

"Tara we have news!" I said with excitement.

"But we can't talk here." whispered Audrey.

"What?" said Tara.

Then we dragged her to the janitors closet.

"Um I'm sorry but could you give us a second." said Audrey to the janitor.

"But this is my office." he said. Then Audrey nudged her head towards the door and he left, and I shut the door.

"So guess who got nominated for prom queen." I said.

"Stacey" said Tara.

"You did." said Audrey.

"Well not you." I said.

"Radio Rebel!" We squealed.

"This is horrible, the whole point of Radio Rebel is that she's anonymous remember. What's gonna happen if she wins? Who's gonna go up there and accept the crown? I could get expelled. I have to put a stop to this"said Tara.

"Are you crazy you can't quit now." said Audrey.

"Yeah this is your moment." I said.

Then the door opened and we turned ours heads.

"Not now Mr. Mcgowski." said Audrey.

"But I need the broom." he said then Audrey handed him the broom and closed the door.

"Audrey, Anna, I can't do this anymore." said Tara.

"You can." we said.

"I can't."

"You can."

The door opened again. We all turned around and said "Not now."

"But I need the dustpan too." said Mr. Mcgowski.

Then Tara gave it to him and Audrey closed to the door again.

"Your a hero to people and that's why they nominated you." said Audrey.

"Yeah and you can't turn your back on them now, this is your time to shine." I said.

"What if I don't wanna shine? What if shining really isn't my thing?" asked Tara.

"As your BFFTLEWE we're legally obligated to make sure you do the show." said Audrey.

"Even if we have to drag you there." I said. Tara chuckled and left the closet. We all left in a different direction.

"Hey Anna." I heard and it was Gabe.

"Hey Gabe." I said.

"I'll see you after school." he said. Oh great I forgot to cancel on Gabe, since Tara was going to take me and Audrey to SLAM FM after school.

"I might have to reschedule on that. I have to, uh, help my friends with, homework after school." I said all nervous.

"Okay then, call me when your done alright." he said.

"Okay" I said

"See yeah later." he said

"Yeah, see yeah." I said. Then I left.

Why do I get nervous around him? I feel like an idiot every time I talk to him. At least I can hang out with Tara and Audrey after school.
