Another Cog in the Murder Machine

*Brayden's POV*

It's Saturday, and Frank invited me to go see his band practice. I thought it'd be cool so I said yes, and now I'm just sitting around, waiting for him.
"Hey, you ready?" I jump when I hear a voice behind me.
I give Frank a quick glare before nodding and leading him outside.

"I think you'll like the guys," Frank says getting in the car.
He hasn't told me who all is in his band yet.
I just smile and look at the floor, not really sure what to say.
We arrive around ten minutes later to a house I've never been to. Frank grabs his stuff from out of the car, handing me something to carry inside. He knocks on the door and a tall guy with glasses answers it, welcoming us in.

"Hey, I'm Mikey," he says looking me up and down, making me feel a little self conscious.

"I'm Brayden," I say quietly.

"Come on, everyone else is in the basement," he says guiding us to the stairs.

We walk down and I see a boy with a fro setting up a guitar.

"This is Ray," Frank says motioning towards the boy.
Ray looks up and gives a small wave and grin.

"Hi," I mumble.

I look over and see two people walk out of another room.

"Guys, Frank's girlfriend's here," Mikey calls out, causing them to look at me.

Of course it was Bob and Gerard. I just can't get away from them. Bob smirks for a second and Gerard grins.

"Well hello there," Gerard says walking over to me.

"Hi," I choke out, clearing my throat and looking away.
Frank pulls me over to the couch and sits down, dragging me with him. I pull my jacket sleeves over my hands out habit and look down while everyone else sits near the couch as well.

"So what bands do you like?" Ray asks from his spot on the floor in front of me.

"Nirvana, Pierce the Veil, Misfits, a bunch of stuff really," I shrug.

"Oh cool," he nods.

Mikey and Ray ask me a bunch of questions but Bob and Gerard mostly just stare at me, making me really uncomfortable.

"So have you and Frank done it yet?"

"What?" I reply.

"You know, frickle frackle," Mikey whispers the last part.

"No," I laugh a little bit, which probably made it sound like I was lying.

"Surrreee," Ray rolls his eyes.

Frank clears his throat, "so should we actually practice now? You know, band practice?"

Everyone agrees and I let out a tiny sigh of relief that the attention was finally away from me. They play random stuff for a while. I have to admit, they sounded pretty good.

"Uh, can I use the bathroom?" I ask.

"Yeah, it's upstairs," Mikey says.

"Here I'll show you," Gerard volunteers.

"No, no I can find it," I say quickly heading up the stairs.

I do my business and leave. I look around a little bit before I hear a voice behind me.

"What are you doing?"

I spin around and see Gerard standing there.

"N-nothing," I stutter, attempting to walk past him. He sticks his arm out, stopping me.

"Quit snooping around my house," he says in an annoyed tone.
I nod and quickly walk back to the basement, where everyone's packing up their stuff.

"Oh, hey," Frank says, "I'm almost ready to go as soon as I get my guitar packed up."

I nod and wait for him, talking to Mikey a little bit. We finally head upstairs and start to leave when I hear Bob snicker and say, "hey, see ya at school, Brayden!"

I ignore him and get in the car, sitting in silence as Frank drives.

Notes

Sorry for the lamest, most boring chapter in the history of the world. But does anyone have any suggestions on what should happen? Because I don't really have anything planned ahead, so...
