CHAPTER 1


"Jenny! Oh my gosh, Jenny! You won't believe what Mark just wrote here!" came Jenny Brown's best friend Martia's voice frombehind her. Looking behind she saw Martia waving a sheet of paper excitedly

Jenny,Not wanting to be forcedinto listeng to Martia talk about herboyfriend the whole way home tartly replied "since you probably won't shut up till I look at it, let me see."

"It says it all Jenny, it really does," said Martia, ignoring the others tartness.

"Okay, Okay, keep your pants on! I'll read it aloud sense whenever your excited it's because you've read something wrong."Jenny teased.

Jenny cleared her throat, then began in cheesey imitation of Mark's voice "Dear, Marty... I'll be at my grandmothers all day so here's her number: 922-3560 call me! I love you!...Mark," Jenny made a face at Martia, "Really, Marty what's so important about Mark giving you his grandmothers phone number, I don't get you you at all."

"No, silly the number has nothing to do with it, it's the part where he says that he loves me that I'm excited about. He has never told me that before, you know," Martia stated dreamily.

"Yeah, well, as much as I'd love to stay and talk about your love life all day, we have practice to get to," Jenny said sacasticly.


When the girls reached Jenny's house Mrs. Brown (Jenny's mother) was just leaving.

"Oh, hello, girls" Mrs. Brown said cheerfully "Your friend Heather came by just half an hour ago, Jen. She asked me to give you this," Mrs. Brown handed Jenny a letter.

"Oh...um, thanks mom," Jenny said rather confused, "I wonder why heather isn't here we were going to practice in the shed today."

"Well, I betcha' the reson she couldn't make it is in that letter. So you might wan't to read it." Mrs. Brown said knowingly, befor leaving.

Martia skimed through the letter:

Hey, Marty

Sorry I wasn't able to talk to you after school you seemed to be to busy in detention with Mark. Well, any ways I won't be able to come to practice today. My mom is sick so I have to drive Kevin to soccer practice. Try to practice without me.

Heather

Martia blush remembering detention with Mark, but soon snaped out of it,"Oh my gosh, Jenny she can't come, she has to drive her stupid little brother to soccer, but, she also says we should practice on our own."

"But, Marty theres only like two songs we can do without her."

"Yeah, your right, we'll just have to work really hard on those two. Oh my gosh! jen, I almost forgot to tell you, I like totally redid the shed, it looks wicked-awsome now!" Martia said excitedly having just remembered.

The girls ran outside to the shed where the girls band stuff was kept. When they got in Jenny's mouth dropped open.

All the instruments were set up on a black painted wooden platform like stage with THE PIXY STIX painted in green and pink across the front side of the wood. Around the stage were bean bag chairs and an old couch in front. The walls were painted a hot pink with posters of the girls favorite bands and singers covering most of it. Green christmas lights were tacked towards the ceiling.

"Oh my gosh! Jen, it's...it's beautiful. I wish Heather was here she would probably faint."

"Yeah, you're right, she probably would!" Jenny said, between giggles.

After the girls giggling session they got up and practiced all the songs they could without heather.


Hey, what did you think? I hope it wasn't too confusing and horrible. Please tell me if it is.
