be blasted out of their inner sanctum by teenagers belting out rock and
metal music.
Gavin pulled off the long sleeved t-shirt he had been wearing over his
black vest top and settled down, waiting for his
turn, making sure to drink plenty of water and munching on a stick of liquorice
to help his voice.
He was the third singer to be called and was midway through his second
song when he spotted Angel and Kiera sneaking in via the side door. H e lost sight of them when they sat behind a large crowd of
girls at the edge of the room.
“Bloody hell he looks good in that , ” Angel whispered to Kiera . “Sorry, I know
you two are involved but credit where it’s due, he is damn fine looking . ”
Kiera giggled , “He looks
better without his clothes . ”
“Whore , ” Angel grinned.
“Angel, if you are interested in him, don’t let what he and I get up to
put you off, we aren’t dating, oh that sounds good , ” Kiera said as Gavin began to sing a
Saliva track.
“I don’t know, I do like him and I feel relaxed
around him but I’m seeing Quinn and I also like being with him . ”
“But do you trust Quinn?”
“Yeah I guess , ” Angel mused.
“You guess? Do you trust Gavin?”
“Actually, yes I do, so far he’s been nothing but honest with me and he’ s very funny whereas Quinn always seems to have an ulterior
motive to everything he does . ”
“Quinn just can’t understand why you two have been dating for six months
and you still won’t let him in your pants , ” Kiera commented.
“I won’t let him in my pants be cause at the
moment he’s being twat of the century , ” Angel huffed.
“He’s always being twat of the century; if I was you I’d dump Quinn and
give Gavin a try at least he’d make popping your cherry memorable . ”
“Kiera, is that all you think about?”
“No, I just find it hard to believe that you
are nearly twenty years old and still a virgin . ”
“It’s nothing to be ashamed of , ” Angel defended herself “Anyway, I couldn’t date Gavin while you and he
are at it . ”
“Don’t you worry about me, he has some friends coming dow n at the weekend, there’s a bunch of us heading down to the
beach, you and twat of the century should join us . ”
“I’ll see what he says . ”
“Cool, look, I’ll see you in Maths, I really need the loo , ” Kiera gathered her things and left.
Angel stayed for the re mainder of the auditions
then slowly began to make her way out of the auditorium.
“So what did you think?” Gavin came up behind her as she reached for the
door.
“Obviously singing is something else you do exceptionally well , ” she told him . “Have the band s aid anything to you?”
“They’ll let us know in the next couple of days , ” he replied . “Hold this for a sec , ” he handed her his bag while he pulled
the long sleeve t-shirt back over his head , “Thanks , ” he took his
bag “I don’t do everything well , ” he told her .
“Name something you can’t do then , ” she demanded, they were walking closely side by side down the long
corridor that led from the auditorium to the maths block . T he corridor was heaving with fellow students but it may as well have been
deserted for all the notice the pair took.
“I can’t ski , ” Gavin said . “But I can snow board , ” he shrugged.
“How does that work?” S he asked.
“I’m a guy right? You girls are always saying that us guys only have one
brain cell , so why the hell
would I want to split it to control two planks of wood , when I can keep it intact and just control one?” H e grinned.
“You’re such a moron , ” she hit his
arm, laughing all the time.
“Careful, you’ll hurt my feelings again , ” he laughed with h er, “I also suck big time at video games, I can’t roller
skate in any form, skateboard or ice skate, so you see, I’m not good at
everything , ” he finished.
“Enough , ” she wheezed,
almost crying with laughter . “I admire
