Chapter 6: The Crows Are Coming For Us.

Trevor!! :D I love him.

The last day of the week was lots of fun for Hannah. She decided to switch electives. She had picked art over study hall. Sonny [which had no artistic talent whatsoever.] and Trevor were in that class.

            Once you get past Sonny flinging paint and markers at you and Trevor’s constant flirting with every single girl that walked by, the class was pretty fun.

“Today kids, we will be working on a project.” Mrs. Hergie announced, “You will need to pick a partner.”

            Hannah looked around the room. She didn’t know anyone so she had no idea how she was going to find a partner.

“Okay, class tell me your partners. And Sonny, you may not be partnered with Trevor.”

“But-but fine.” Sonny pouted.

“Wanna be partners?” Trevor asked Hannah.

“Sure.” She had no choice but to say yes.

“Now discuss what you want to create. I don’t care if you paint it, sketch it, or sculpt it, just make me something.” Mrs. Hergie said. She was probably the most care-free teacher Hannah had met.

“I’m clueless.” Trevor told Hannah.

“Me too.” They were in trouble.

“I want to do photography.” Trevor said.

“Okay, I have an awesome idea!” Hannah smiled.

            Hannah and Trevor decided to started after school. They both went over to Trevor’s house.

“Okay guys, we need you to be our models.” Hannah told Matt, Chase, Alex, and Sonny.

“I knew I was beautiful enough to be model.” Chase said striking a pose.

“Be serious.” Trevor said, “This is for a grade.”

            The boys thought of where they wanted to photographed. Hannah took Chase and Alex. Chase wanted to be taken near the window on the breakfast nook.

“You’re a tiger, Chase, be a tiger. Now give me sad, yeah that’s the stuff. Now be seductive. Chase, is that your seductive?” Hannah laughed.

“You’re just jealous.”

“Alex’s turn.” Hannah followed Alex outside. He wanted to be taken sitting on the curb. Alex made a peace sign.

“Trying to be gangster?” Hannah laughed snapping the shot.

 

            Trevor on the other hand was snapping shots of Matt on his bed. It was a creepy request but they did it anyway.

“Matt, don’t fall asleep on my bed.” Trevor said walking into the bathroom to shoot Sonny.

“Grrr!” Sonny shouted making a funny pose.

“You look like a dinosaur dude!” Trevor said taking the picture. “I think I got it all.”

            Trevor met Hannah at the Dinner Diner with their prints.

“I like this one.” Hannah said picking out the best picture of Matt. “But there’s something missing.” She looked up at Trevor who was confused. “You say cheese!” she snapped a picture.

“Hey, I wasn’t ready!” he whined.

“Too bad.”

“Excuse me.” They both turned to see Carmen.

“Hi Trevor!” Adrianne said coming up behind her.

“Uh, hello.” He said uncomfortably.

“Sweetie, he’s not worth it.” Carmen said.

“Don’t trust this scum-bag.” Adrianne put her hands on her hips.

“Well, what do you have to say for yourself?” Carmen waited for an answer.

“This isn’t a date. We working on a project.” Trevor explained.

“Unless I’m seeing things there is two of us standing here?” Adrianne was getting impatient.

 

            Hannah just sat there listening to the conversation, or more like shouting match. And Trevor wasn’t the one doing the shouting. This was a soap-opera come to life. She munched on fries as the three shouted.

“I’m sorry, Okay!” Trevor said defending himself.

“Sorry doesn’t cut it.”
”You hurt us with your lies and cheating.” Carmen shouted.

“You’re a profane person!” Adrianne added.

“Well, it’s not like we were serious.” Trevor replied. The girls seemed to not like this answer because Carmen dumped fries on him and Adrianne hit him in the head. Hannah laughed a little.

“Sorry.” She mumbled frowning at the look she receiving.

“I have to go.” Trevor got up.

“But, the project!” Hannah exclaimed.

“I don’t care do it yourself.” He said walking out.

“I don’t care do it yourself.” Hannah mocked him. She sighed and decided to get home too.

            Sonny wasn’t there when she got home. She went upstairs and made the picture collage for art. She decorated it and called it done. It looked kinda sloppy but since Trevor made no effort to help, Hannah wouldn’t either.

 

            Trevor was a little upset that he was publicly embarrassed in the Dinner Diner. He kind of deserved it through. 

“Oh brother, where art thou?” Alex called out to him.

“I’m ineth my room.” He replied.

“Thee has a lady caller.”

“Alex.”

“Okay, I’ll stop.” He said leaving the room. Hannah walked in with the collage and threw it on his bed.

“I finished it.” She said before turning to leave.

“Wait, I’m sorry about before. I’ll add some stickers on it or something.”

“Cool.” Hannah smiled before leaving. “Oh, just no pokemon.”

“Dang it!” Trevor whined.

            By December everything was back to normal. Hannah got her grades up, Trevor was dating three girls, and band the fighting again.

“Chase keeps making the wrong chord change.”

“No, Sonny is off tempo.”

“No! Trevor’s not singing the words right.” Complains like these filled Sonny’s basement.

“Guys, nothing’s wrong with the song! You’re just being picky.” Hannah reasoned.

“We’re not being picky, we’re being perfect. We have to make sure everything sounds good.” Alex replied.

“Let’s take it from the top then.” Trevor said getting ready to sing again.

            They made it through the intro but halfway into the verse Matt complained that Alex didn’t tune his bass right.

“Ugh, you guys are hopeless.” Hannah said getting off the couch and going up the stairs.

“I can’t do this either.” Sonny said following Hannah.

“See what you did Trevor! You just ruined our practice.” Chase complained.

“I ruined practice? You guys are the ones that keep stopping every three seconds!” he yelled back.

“I’m going home.” Chase said grabbing his guitar case and amp and left. Matt followed him without a word.

            Trevor and Alex stood in the room alone. They were both glaring at each other from opposite sides of the room.

“I’m only going to say one thing, either you quit the band or I will.” Alex went up the stairs not wanting to hear Trevor’s response just yet.

            Trevor stood there trying to comprehend what his brother had just said to him. Sonny’s cat Jingles decided to grace Trevor with its presence.

“You still love me right?” he said petting the cat.

“Meow.”

“That’s what I thought.” He said leaving his ex-practice space.
