chapter 2.13

Jackson

Finally, the rest of the gang showed up. Paxton said, “Hey, guys, this is my cousin, Celia Estelle. She goes to San Myshuno High.”
​

Picture

Celia gave an awkward smile. “Hi, everyone.”
​

Picture

Just then, Manu jumped in and slapped Celia a high five. “What’s up, Cel? Haven’t seen you in ages. Have you been hanging around the cemeteries lately?”
​

Picture

Laughing, she said, “Actually, I was there yesterday. Got a great photo of Cornelia Goth’s ghost. You should come over to have a look.”

“Cool! I will!”
​
Picture

I shook my head. Manu was always messing with people’s heads about ghosts and vampires. Looked like he had a partner in crime when it came to weird. That was fine with me just as long as he didn’t ask me to come along. Ghosts freaked me out.


Everyone broke out into their own conversations when suddenly, Victoria said, “Hey, losers, are we going to hear our friend who just got out on parole sing or are we going to yuck it up all day in the cold?”
​

Picture

“Fine,” I said. “But you’re singing with me, Victoria. I can’t wait to put you to shame. I’m good. You’ll see.”


Patting my shoulder, Victoria said, “You’re on your own, blue eyes. There are two things I don’t do: One Direction and singing.”

“Well, I can’t sing on my own. You’ve got to.” I glared at her, hoping to force her into submission.

A voice popped out of nowhere. “I’ll sing.”

Looking up, I saw Celia staring at me with a smile.

“You will? Okay. Cool.”

I chose an easy duet, excited to get into the song. But Celia’s voice clashed with mine. She was awful. She was a cross between the screeching high pitch of Elmo from Sesame Street and an elk doing a mating call.
​

Picture

I tried to ignore it. Ro was all over it, though, and hollered at how bad we were. “Well if it isn’t Sonny and Shriek. A new band. You’ve got a sound that definitely can’t be duplicated. Whoop!”


Celia looked as if she wanted to crawl under a rock. “I know. I’m bad.”

“That’s okay, Celia,” I said. “No one sings well at karaoke. Did you have fun?”
​

Picture

She nodded.


“Then let’s do another song. Go away, Ro.” I pushed him out of our area.

We took up our mikes and sang even louder and more awful than ever before. It was awesome.
​

Picture

Later, Celia got tired and everyone forced me to do a song on my own. So I went for a cheesy ballad to show off my pipes.
​

Picture

And you know what? I got a standing O!
​

Picture

Well, except for Victoria. She said she stands for no one. Especially me. But she admitted I was decent.


“Yes!” I punched the air. “I rock!”
​

Picture

Clarke clapped and hollered for more. But I was tired.
​

Picture

He came over to me and said, “Dude. Have you been hiding your voice all this time? We need you!”


“Who needs me?”

“My band. We don’t have a singer and since you can play any instrument, we’ve got to have you.”
​

Picture

“I didn’t know you had a band.”


He shrugged. “We just formed it. Manu is our drummer. Zed’s our base. I light it up on electric guitar. We could use you for keyboard and vocals. Are you in?”
​

Picture

I laughed. “I guess so.”


“Dude! Cool!” He gave me a high five. And that’s how The Llama Kings formed.
​

Picture

This gave me an idea, so I started playing a jazzy song on the keyboard.


Ro and Victoria came over to hear me.

After a while, Victoria said, “Dude. There are three things that annoy me: bubbleheaded girls, ripped jeans, and show offs. I’ve about reached my limit here.”
​

Picture

I felt as if she was ripping on Celia and me, but you had to ignore Victoria when she got into one of her moods. “Really, Vick? I’m not showing off. Can I help all the talent that just oozes from me? The world would suffer if I put it under a rock.”


“Oh, brother,” Victoria said. “First of all, if you call me Vick again, you’re going to see blood. Yours. And second of all, if anyone cares, I’ll be outside. I’ve got a great idea for a mural and if you morons want to do something for the community, you’ll join me.”

She stormed off. I had no clue why she was mad all of a sudden.

I kept playing. “What’s her problem?” I asked Ro.

“You don’t know?” he asked.

As if I had a clue. “Who can know what Victoria is thinking?”
​

Picture

​“Dude, she’s got it bad for you,” Ro said.


I lurched my head back. “Right. Victoria Boudreaux does not like me like that. Does she?”

“Looks that way to me. She was shooting darts at Celia the whole time she was singing with you.”

I shook my head. “Whatever. You know I can’t deal with that. She’s like my sister. It’d be weird.”

He shrugged. “You asked, dude.”

I stopped playing. I didn’t think he was reading her right at all. She was mad because we weren’t paying attention to her. Victoria loved to be the center of everything. So I decided to help her with her mural.

“It’s gonna be so cool,” Victoria explained. “It’ll be this Asian Explosion all over the brick. I’m going to call it Death by Kimono.”

I sighed. “You’re one weird chick.”

“Why thank you, Jackson. I love you, too.”
​
Picture

After a while, I went to clean off my paintbrush. Celia came over to me. “Hey, Jackson.”


“Hi, Celia. Have you been doing more singing?”
​

Picture

She laughed. “No...I don’t think I’ll ever sing again. You’re really good, though.”
​

Picture

When she said that, a little tickle flickered inside. I never realized just how beautiful she was until now. She had the longest eyelashes I’d ever seen and her freckles were so adorable, I could stare at her all day. “Um...thanks. Hey, have you ever gone skating at Christmas Town in Newcrest? I’ve got tickets and no one to go with.” I’d bought them for Sandra and I, but that wasn’t happening. And Celia was cool and pretty. I figured it might be a fun thing to do.
​

Picture

She pointed. “Are you asking me out?”
​

Picture

Wow. That was bold. I mean, yeah, I was, but I didn’t want it to be all formal like that. “Um...well, I mean....”


She laughed. “I’d love to go, Jackson.”
​

Picture

“Cool.”


She gave me her number then said good-bye.
​

Picture
Picture

I watched her run away, sizing up her perfect curves.
​

Picture

“Damn,” I thought. “I’m one lucky boy.”
