NOVEL: "Picture Perfect" Part 3 3/3

I did my best to contact my ex bandmates.

Our drummer and lead guitarist have some sort of discomfort with each other due to some of their misunderstandings. So I guess I should start by getting our basist first.

He works at 7/11 as a cashier. [a part time job]

“do you accept check?”. I slammed my empty wallet on the counter.

“check my ass! Hahaha. What do you want?”. He’s still a laughing person.

“I’ll be needing your help.” Seriously stared at him, was a stare of a dragon.

“for what?”.

“to win a girl’s heart.”. The handshake we had, I’m sure he was like. “count me in”.

Maykel was the first member I recruited back then, when my ex and I decided to form a band. Funny, he’s still the first I got back.

“so, Miyu… does she knows about this? Will she join us too?”

“The hell with that… as if she’s somewhere to be found…”

“so… she’s still missing huh? who’ll be our vocalist then?..”

“Me.”

My voice is good so stop wondering.

It’s just that Miyu has this perfect vocalist figure, that’s why she’s the vocalist of the band back then. Well, I’m not planning to waste years of my life trying to find her. Since I’ve already looked for her a couple of years ago when she disappeared (literally).

I just don’t care about her anymore.

Maykel sure was handy in the band. Not because he’s the oldest, but. He has the most convincing powers.

In just a matter of talk, he made Clark[lead guitarist] and Lloyd[drummer] to join the band again.

Before the fun begins, we had a meeting and I shared my plans to them.

“so guys, now that were back together expect things to have a bit of a change. Since Miyu will not be able to do the vocs, I will replace her.”.

“but are you sure we will be fine without her?

Clark asked, he trusts Miyu’s capability as a vocalist way better than we are.

“it’ll be okay dude, in fact it’ll be bigger for us this time”. I’ve answered excitedly.

“but how is that possible? We don’t even have a manager?”. Says Lloyd and her usual curiosity.

“Don’t worry guys. I have everything planned.”

My plan wasn’t bad after all.

The first week we jammed and jammed and shoot some videos.

I uploaded it in youtube. And hell what? There’s already been thousands of views in just a matter of days. Our stupid costume did the job. Smart me. I made my bandmates wear a ripper’s suit. It’s hot but its eye catching. Used all of my savings though, but it’s worth it, because since then we had so many invitations, wanting us to be guess performers for some band competition, we performed in bars, and we even got invited to perform in some cosplays.[as ive planned] we even had commercial! And recordings!

It was successful.

The sercret is, everytime I got home from performing. I’m visiting her site to get some inspiration. I’m just waiting her to hear the news about me. I’m really working hard.

This day we had a big stage.

We performed at Asia’s best anime channel. After the performance, I got interviewed by the host.

“So. Yano Stifler, in just a matter of weeks your band has been really popular. It started at youtube, you’re songs have reached the top in some radio stations. Your band even had a commercial. Wow… so tell me, what are you planning to do next?”.

Live interviews, it makes me sick. I think I’m gonna slip my tounge and say somwthing stupid.

My bandmates were all smiling as they looked at me, I got what they’re trying to say as they point on the picture of the channel’s ambassadress.

I smiled and replied.

“I’m planning to meet someone”..

my bandmates were

“ooh!!! Finaly!”. Laughing

“m-meet someone? Who may that person be? A girlf—“

“Almira… meet up with me when you’re ready.” I left the host speechless..
