What the eyes can't see || A TMF fanfic ? Jailey (REWRITEN)

Chapter 1 - Doubts

- Bye..! - Hailey said in a low tone.
She looked sad.
Jake saw her behavior, and questioned her:

- Hey, Hailey, are you okay? You look down. Is everything fine?

- What? I'm fine! Totally. It's just the talent show. Y'know, it reminds me of the one in 7th grade...

- Oh, yeah, right...

For a moment, everyone was silent, a little uncomfortable with the situation they were going to get themselves into and how it would mean to Hailey.
Finally, Zander dared to open break the shell:

- Why don't you sign up with Jake? Sean can do some background music with our instruments in case you don't want me and Luke there because of your...er-

- Stage fright; I know, Zander. But, that's doesn't sound bad. I just need some time to think and process everything.

- Excellent! - Jake was happy quickly. - I'd love to sing with you again, Hailey!

- I'm glad you feel that way, Jake. I hope you understand if I don't agree; but even so, I still want to play Friday Night Funking with you at lunch~ - She teased, trying to lighten the moment.

- Nah, don't worry about it, I totally understand if you disagree. And sure, it would be a pleasure to win you two times in-a-row~

- Hah! Keep dreaming, you dork.

- HeLlOoOo FuNkY lOvEbIrDs, we're here! - Milly started to get annoyed.

- LOVEBIRDS??? DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT IN FRONT OF ME! - Hailey's overprotective brother decided to interfere. - NOT EVEN BEHIND MY BACK!

- Oh come on, Zander, you're already well aware of the post-competition incident. Just accept right away that they love each other!

- WE DON'T LOVE EACH OTHER! - Jake and Hailey said at the same time, annoyed and blushing.

To clearfy, the "incident post-competition" was actually a kiss on the cheek, that Hailey gave Jake after the performance. Milly just gave this name to the event to annoy Zander, because he doesn't approve their dynamic so much.
Both Jake and Hailey deny they like eachother, even though they're not fully in love yet.
But certainly that's when Hailey really grew feelings for Jake, and and vice versa. Or maybe not? They stopped talking about it since it happened.; it was sure nothing.

- Sure, sure, keep lying to yourselves, lOvEbIrDs.

- Same to you, pink-haired-devil. - Hailey replied mad.

- Uh, sorry to interrupt, but,
- Luke said - when are we going to make the song?

- Good point, Luke. We need to get in touch with Sean and let him know that we are going to create a new song. Should we call him?

- Better not, Jake. He must be in college classes; they take a long time. - Hailey alerted Jake.

- What are we going to do, then?

- We wait two more days...? He told me he can make songs on Sundays, and it's Friday. - The pink-haired-devil told the group.

- Yeah, you must be right. Man, it's so weird rehearsing without Sean here with us.

- I know Hails, but I'm sure we can deal with it. After all, he is finally graduated. That's a good thing.

- Yeah...

After Sean went to college, the club had to call him after classes and have meetings to find some time to make their beats.
Obviously, no one counts that he might not have time someday. But that wouldn't happen, Sean has always been loyal and responsible.

- I'll call him after school, and as soon as he's done with the beat, you guys can play the instruments, okay?

- Will do, Hailey! - Luke obeys the order.

- Yasss!! I can finally play my guitar for something new~ - Milly gets excited.

- Well, I have no choice... Of course I'll do, sis. - Zander makes a joke.

- You can count on me, miss president!

- Jake, stop calling me "miss president"-

- Err, princess...?

- No.

- Ma'am?

- Nope.

- Little miss uptight?-

- JUST CALL ME BY MY NAME FOR GODNESS SAKE

- LMAO SORRY HAILEY

Cool dynamic, you two. Cool dynamic.

*Bell rings*

- Noooo, I'm gonna have PE! I hate PE...- The pink haired girl complains.

- Is there actually a class you like?

- Of course, Peanut butter. Lunchtime! Isn't it obvious?

- ...

- Just kidding, I like English.

- Of course you do, it's the easiest subject. - Zander decides to participate.

Meanwhile, Jake and Hailey were aside, not understanding anything. Then, Jake decides to tell her friend:

- Hailey?

- Yep?

- I don't want to force you again, like I did last time, but... I'd really like to make another duet with you. I just found cool to be an actual duet in the club. Don't you agree?

- About making an actual duet? Yes, sounds cool. But, about the talent show, I still need some time to think. I hope you understand.

- No problem, I do.

- Thanks.

Deep down, she really wanted to make part of the talent show. Her stage fright has been left behind.
She was just afraid of one thing: Give her away about what she truly feels in the song lyrics.
