**CHAPTER 16; THE REHERSAL**
******CHAPTER 16; THE REHERSAL******
"Jesse get off my foot!" I screamed. "Sorry, but incase you didn't notice, there's not alot of space for me to move in!" Jesse redirected. We were a little less than an hour away from the city, and all 10 of us were squished and squirming in the back of the car. "OH MY GOD MY MANHOOD!" Jesse screached with a look of agony on his face. "What happened?" Courtney asked curiously. "SOMEONE KNEED ME IN THE BALLS!" Jesse screamed again. When we all heard that and saw his facial expression we couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Awww..poor baby," Sara said, practically sitting ontop of Jesse. "Sara, sitting on me right now is NOT going to help!" Jesse said with a look of extreme pain. "Hold on guys!" Mrs. Raposo directed. Before we all knew it..we were stuck to one side of the car. Mrs. Raposo looked back at all of us and started to laugh to herself. "I told you.." she said sarcastically. "OH MY GOD YOU BROKE BEN!" Chris screamed as he held the broken piece of his spike in his hand. "Ben?" we all asked in unison. "You name your spikes?" Matt asked with a confused look. "Yes! Guys..I'd like you to meet..Shawn, Billy, Dan, Kimberly, Steve, Mike, Jennifer-" Chris said as he all of the sudden got a sad look on his face. "That's how I came up with the song Jennifer Goodbye..my Mom cut Jenny! But then she grew back!" he exclaimed now with a smile on his face. "I'm going to pretend this NEVER HAPPENED" I said trying to stay calm. "You're such a moron Chris.." Greg muttered. "My boyfriend names his spikes..oh God," Cori sighed. "Atleast I HAVE FRIENDS!" Chris said directing towards Greg. "Umm Chris...you're friends with your hair..doesn't that send you a red flag or something?" Greg said trying to keep a straight face. "Mom!" Greg called. "What sweetie?" she replied. "Stop at the hospital on the right so we can get a medical doctor to glue Chris's spike back on!" Greg said starting to laugh. "SHUT UP!" Chris said as he tried to 'playfully' sock Greg in the arm. As Greg and Chris started to go at eachother Jesse backed up and had a paranoid look on his face. "NO ONE COME NEAR ME!" he exlaimed. "Oh God Jesse..chill out," Sara said trying to keep a straight face. "Sorry..but I think Jesse Jr. is still in the recovery room," Jesse said quietly. "Guys are Nikki and Frankie okay?" Mrs. Raposo asked concerned. I looked to my right to see that Nikki and Frankie were in a serious lip-lock. "Yeah I think they're okay," I said pointing over to them. "Oh no, not them too!" Mrs. Raposo sighed. As we all started to laugh at Nik and Frankie, Mrs. Raposo turned around to try and 'stop the madness.' "MOM WATCH OUT!" Greg screamed as we ran off the road and went into the median. (the grassy area between the two lanes) "This is greeaat," Larissa said sarcastically. Larissa turned to Matt to see that he was trying to figure out how long it would take to get to rehersal if we walked. "Okay..let's see..if we walk at a rate of a five miles per hour, and it's not close to sunset yet we should get to rehersal around-" Matt muttered. "Matt..stop right there," Larissa said trying not to laugh. "What?" he asked with a confused look on his face. "Nevermind," Larissa laughed. "Uh-oh..this can't be good," Mrs. Raposo said as she looked to find that when we ran off the road, we had gotten a flat tire. "Look what you did!" Nikki exclaimed. "What? You did as much as I did!" Frankie said sarcastically. "Shut up..we can pretend right?" Nik said, trying not to laugh. "Oh God," I said as I got out of the squished car. Greg, Chris and Courtney came out of the car after I did. "Greeeg!" Mrs. Raposo called. The four of us walked towards the front of the car. "What Mom?" Greg asked. "There's a fork in the tire, which means that we have a flat, so can you guys try and help get the spare tire.." Mrs. Raposo asked. "Sure," Courtney and I said as we walked towards the trunk to get the spare. "How'd we get a flat?" Chris asked curiously. "THERE'S A FORK IN THE TIRE!" Greg exclaimed as he pointed at the punctured tire. At that time, me and Courtney came back with the spare tire. "Guys..there's a fork..in my tire.." Greg said in amazment. "Why is there a fork in your tire?" Courtney asked confused. "Well..maybe some old fat guy...was trying to eat and drive at the same time..and whoops! The fork fell out of the car window!" Chris said with pride. The three of us and Mrs. Raposo just started at Chris. "Or not.." he said blushing. "Okay, let's see if we can do this.." Mrs. Raposo said. "C'mon Greg use those manly muscles," I said sarcastically. Chris just busted up laughing. "Greg..muslces?? HA!" Chris laughed. "Chris..don't even talk.." Courtney replied. "Eeww!!" Chris said trying to act hurt.
"One..two..three!" I said as we got the spare tire onto the car. "Okay..we did it..now we have to get back INTO the car and try to get to rehersal," Mrs. Raposo said opening the car door. I got into the car to see that Sara and Jesse and Nik and Frankie and Larissa and Matt were all making out. "I have an idea.." Chris said, trying to imitate Elmer Fud's voice. "What?" we asked curiously. "Shhh," he said trying to keep a straight face. Then Chris made the sound of a police cars siren. "HOLY SH*T!" Matt jumped. Everyone stopped what they were doing when they heard the "siren." Courtney, Chris, Greg and I just started to laugh hysterically. "That was great.." I laughed. "GUYS! CAR! NOW!" Mrs. Raposo exclaimed. Greg saw that she was getting a little pissed, and he motioned for me to get into the car. About 25 minutes later, we FINALLY arrived at the studio. We walked in to find that Claudia was ready and waiting for the guys. "Sorry Claudia..we got a flat tire," Jesse said apologetically. "That's okay, I just got here myself," she replied,"So lets go," she said as she walked over to the sterio and turned on music. The guys were in their places when Claudia walked over to Frankie. "Frankie..that's such a nice color on you.." she commented on the lipstick that rubbed off when him and Nikki were making out. "SH*T!" he exclaimed as he tried to rub it off. We all just started laughing.
"5..6..5,6,7,8-" Claudia said as the guys started to rehearse the dance for FEEL THE RAIN. "Feel the Rain..falling down on me, I call your name, I miss you can't you see, I take the blame, we should never be apart, tell me what can I do to get you, back into my heart.." the sterio blasted. The five of us (girls) sat in the back of the studio and watched the guys rehearse. "Do you think I should say that?" Courtney asked with a grin on her face. "Yeah.." we all whispered. "Chriiis..." she called. "What?" he asked as he turned around to see her smiling at him. "I just wanted to know this but umm...Why do you build me up buttercup?" she asked trying to keep a straight face. "Oh God.." the other four guys sighed. Then everyone broke out into song..The girls sang 'why do you build me up..buttercup baby just to let me down..and mess me around and then worst of all..you never call baby when you say you will..but i love you still i need you..' the guys echoed 'i need you'..etc. "GUYS!" Claudia started, "Stop singing about flowers and come over here to reherse!" she exclimed. "Umm..Claudia..they're buttercups..not flowers," I said sarcastically. "Same thing," she laughed back. About ten minutes later, the guys finally got it together and 2 hours later were done with their rehersal.
