You Look Pretty Low

[Trinity]

So my sister and Alex made up three days ago. I wasn’t happy. But hey, Peyton was determined…and who am I to get in the way of that?

Well, I still punch Alex every chance I get. It’s better than nothing.

Zack had actually taken me to the beach that night, and we spent it talking, looking up at the stars and making out. To be honest it was a bit sappy for me, but I wasn’t complaining. For once, I wasn’t complaining. And I don’t know why.

So today is Tuesday, and for once Peyton and I are in school early. It’s now the last week of May, and the sun is shining. Meaning Peyton and I can start wearing outfits without cardigans or jumper to keep us warm. =]

We’d met up with Alex, Zack, Jack and Rian in the music classroom about half an hour before school started, seeing as we had music first period. Not many other students were in here yet, just slowly trickling in every five minutes or so.

“Brah, I’m in serious need of some money,” Jack sighed randomly, running his hand through his hair

“I know, it’s getting ridiculous. Gigs are sporadic and even then that money only lasts so long,” Zack nodded, frowning

“It’s not like we’re not trying to get gigs though, is it?” Alex muttered

“We’ve got one booked in June, right?” Rian asked, thinking

“Yeah, but we still need some more,” Alex groaned

Peyton and I just stayed silent. Hell, we weren’t in the music business, we didn’t know what to say to help them.

“I just wish there was some way to secure a decent money flow,” Rian sighed

Then Peyton looked thoughtful. Hmmm.

“Have you boys ever tried getting signed?” she asked slowly

We all focussed on her. She has a point. Hang on a minute....something's nagging at my brain....

“What?” Alex breathed

“You know, signed to a record label? Wouldn’t that secure money?” Peyton continued, raising an eyebrow

Alex, Zack, Jack and Rian all looked at each other, shocked. Wow, Peyton’s good.

“No, I guess we haven’t. Wow, I can’t believe we didn’t think of that,” Zack said, stunned

“Well, there you go then. Try that. A ‘brother’ of ours did that, didn’t he Trin?” Peyton smiled at me

Ahah! I knew there was something I'd forgotten!

“Yeah, sure the band didn’t last long, but they just sent away dozens of CDs to as many record labels as they could find. Eventually they got signed. You should definitely try it,” I nodded, remembering a foster brother of ours from years ago

“We could start tonight!” Jack said excitedly

“Awesome!” Rian grinned

The four boys high-fived, making Peyton and I laughed. Boys – so easy to please. Quite a few of the class were in by now, making the noise level rise.

“Eurgh, it’s too early…make them go away!” I whined, burying my head in Zack’s shoulder

“Babe, they’re probably in early to prepare for the assessment we have today,” Zack chuckled, pressing a kiss to my temple

I bolted upright, my eyes wide in horror. The boys laughed. Fuckk them.

“Shiiiit I forgot as well! Damn, we didn’t even practice, Trin!” Peyton groaned

“I bet you two can’t even perform – why are you in this class?” Jack challenged

Alex, Zack and Rian made loud ‘oooooh’ noises, the rest of the class starting to listen in. We knew Jack was only playing around but hell, this could be fun.

“I’ve got more talent in my little finger than you have in your entire body. Same goes for my sister,” I said cockily

“I’ll believe that when I see it,” Jack grinned

“You want to see our talent?” Peyton smirked

Jack just smirked back, sticking his chin up in the air.

“Alright, hold onto your panties, J-Dog, you’re going down,” I grinned

The class cheered. Dayum. I glad the teacher isn’t here yet. Peyton mouthed ‘your favourite’ at me, only making me giggle.

“Oh my god, Peyton, look at his butt. It’s so big, he looks like one of those rap guys girlfriends,” I started, putting on an OTT accent

“Who understands those rap guys, they only talk to him because he looks like a total prostitute,” Peyton scoffed, looking Jack up and down

“I mean his butt, It's just so big. I can't believe it's so round, it's just out there,” I sighed mockingly

“I mean, it's gross. Look, he's just so black,” Peyton smirked

A couple of people laughed, realising what we were going to do. Peyton and I leaped up on our desks, before posing in a mocking-hip hop way.

“I like big butts and I cannot lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung
Wanna pull up tough
Cuz you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh, baby I wanna get with ya
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that butt you got make me so horny
Ooh, rump of smooth skin
You say you wanna get in my benz
Well use me use me cuz you aint that average groupy

I've seen them dancin'
To hell with romancin'
She's Sweat,Wet, got it goin like a turbo vette

I'm tired of magazines
Saying flat butts are the thing
Take the average black man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back

Peyton winked at Alex, encouraging him, Zack and Rian to help us out with the next bit. He nodded and nudged them.

So Fellas (yeah) Fellas (yeah)
Has your girlfriend got a big butt (hell yeah)
Well shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake that healthy butt
Baby got back

Oh yeah, we still got it. We jumped off the table to a round of thunderous applause, Jack’s face scarlet red. I strode up to him, my hand on my hip.

“Dayum girl, you got game,” Jack teased

“Remember that next time you challenge the Hayes sisters, yeaah?” I snickered

“Will do,” Jack laughed, ruffling my blonde hair

Alex looked at Peyton and I questioningly, so we raised our eyebrows.

“What babe?” Peyton mused

“Is that really your talent?” he asked hesitantly

“No, we sing, baby, you know that. ‘Rapping’ is just something fun we learnt at one of our foster places,” Peyton giggled

“Just checking,” Alex chuckled

I rolled my eyes with a smile, settling into Zack’s lap before class started. Well that was a fun start to a day.
