I'll Keep Singing This Lie Ch 1

[Stacia Madison's POV]

I looked at Jess from one end of my bed. She was lying down, reading a magazine. "Jessica Wood, are you DONE with that magazine?" I asked in exasperation, putting my guitar on the bed.

"Come on, Stace, just a bit more..." Jess sighed, finally looking up. As soon as she did, she resumed her reading.

I rolled my eyes. If a stranger had seen my best friend now, they would dismiss her as a some ditsy sophomore high schooler (she was small and looked younger than she really was) who was only interested in boys and fashion. Her long blond hair and bright blue eyes only accentuated that even more. However, to those who knew her, they knew that beneath that very exterior was a pretty proficient 19-year-old drummer whose iPod playlist mainly consisted of heavy metal and rock music.

Then, the ringing of the doorbell jerked me from my thoughts. I jumped up and sped out to the living room to answer the door. When I did, I broke into a huge smile. It was my cousin, Patrick. "Hey, Trick," I greeted.

Suddenly I found Jess beside me. How she had guessed that it was Patrick, I had no idea. "Hi Patrick!" she said cheerily.

"Hey, girls. I brought a friend home today," Patrick responded, stepping inside the house.

"Hi. You're Stacy, aren't you?" the guy who stepped in after him said. "I'm Pete, Pete Wentz. Nice to meet you."

My breath caught for a second. This Pete was cute. "Hi. Nice to meet you too," I said smoothly, my eyes not leaving his for a moment.
