chords of the song. He was completely focused , absorbed in the music, his head nodding slightly to the beat o f the song. After the opening verse , he began singing harmony, blending perfectly with Micah’s voice.
    I couldn’t quite figure out if they were singing country or rock. Somehow they were straddling the line between t he two and blurring the edges like it was easy. I knew it wasn’t.
    Micah had a great voice and was very charismatic, even if his personality had already rubbed me the wrong way. He was really good looking too. I wouldn’t be surprised if all the girls at prom fell in love with him. But as the practice went on, it was clear that Colby was the better musician.
    He was the one who really seemed to feel the music. It was Colby who would suggest a change in tempo or rework the chords of the bridge to be less discordant. When something wasn’t going right, he was the first one to put his finger on the problem . All this time , I’d had no idea he was so talented.
    I was fascinated as I watched his confident tweaking of their first two songs until they satisfied his critical ear. Micah, who had seemed to be so dominating, almost fade d into the background and let Colby take the lead in working out the kinks in their performance.
    Olivia had been tuning her guitar and warming up her voice in another room. She came back in and sat down beside me on the floor as the band went through their second song for the last time.
    “So, are you and Colby an item or something? When did this happen?”
    “No, we’re not . At least, I don’t think we are. Yet. ”
    Olivia raised her eyebrow at me and I could tell she didn’t believe me. “Yeah, right. You know he likes you though, right?
    I looked at her, hoping to keep my emotions under control, but when I saw her face, I couldn’t help but grin and say, “Yeah. I think he does.”
    “Wow. But I thought you hated Colby?”
    “I never said I hated him. He just drove me crazy. But I’ve been babysitting his little sister to earn money for prom, and I’ve seen him a few times. He’s been different. And, um, he apologized for giving me a hard time and said he only did it to get my attention. And because he was jealous of Brian. ”
    “Wow . That’s crazy. Why didn’t he try flirt ing or something normal like that ?”
    “I don’t have a clue. ”
    “ He probably thought he didn’t have a chance with you. So what about Brian ? I thought you were so in love with him.”
    “I thought so too. I’ ve kind of realized that I’m not though. I mean, I think I real ly like Colby. He’s pretty exciting to be around , you know ? He’s kind of intense, but in a good way . I’m all stirred up inside over him.”
    “What are you going to do about prom? ”
    I sighed. “I don’t know. I kind of have to go with Brian , don’t I? I mean, h ow could I get out of it at this point?”
    “By telling him that you have a boyfriend now, so you’re very sorry but you can’t go with him.”
    “But I don’t have a boyfriend. I mea n, we haven’t even talked about it, so it’s not like we’re a couple or anything. And Brian already rented a tux to match my dress and ordered my corsage to match.”
    “I didn’t know you got your dress.”
    “Yeah. On Saturday. The money I earned babysitting was the last bit I needed. I t’s perfect, but I don’t even feel like going now.”
    “Are you crazy ? Just because you go with Brian doesn’t mean you have to stay with him the whole night. Colby won’t be playing the whole time, and every girl in the place w ill be willing to shave off their e yebrows to dance with someone from the band.”
    I laughed. “Well, I’m going so you can relax. ”
    The band was playing the last chords of the ir s ong, letting them die away, so Olivia jumped up to get her guitar. Our girl talk was over for now.
    Micah stepped away, pulling his phone out of his pocket as he went. He wasn’t needed anyway. The rehearsal was now all
