LOVE AND THUNDER ??| Max Thunderman

Phoebe's P.O.V
I was in choir class. "I can't believe I have to follow her," I told Cherry as Veronica was singing. "I clap loud when I'm nervous,"

"Don't worry. This is just practice, " Cherry said."Actual solo auditions aren't until Friday"

"I don't know Cherry; she's a senior, and she comes from a long line of professional choir singers," I said her

"And you...stood in a long line this morning for a muffin," Cherry said. " So there's that,"

"Phoebe Thunderman, you're up," I heard the teacher say. I got up and went to the podium as I started to sing a spit ball flew in my mouth.

"Look at this! Who would shoot a spitball at me?" I questioned

"I would." Veronica said as she appeared

"Veronica? Why?" I questioned." We're sisters in song"

"I own the solo spot, newb, and I'll stop at nothing to keep it, choke on... That" she said in a sing-song voice and with that she left.

"She does have a nice voice," Cherry said, then another spitball flew at me.

"And nice aim," I said. Max soon walked up with Becca.

"Guys, did you hear about the girl who got pelted with spitballs?" Max asked. I turned to face him, showing the spitball in the middle of my forehead. "Oh.Guess you did," as they walked away.

I was at home since school finished. " As I'm in the middle of my solo, a spitball flies into my mouth and hits the little punching bag in the back of my throat," I explained to my parents.

"What is that little thing?" My dad asked."It's so...wiggly"

"Mm, and so hangy," Max added

"And so not the point of my story," I said, annoyed

"This Veronica girl is just trying to psych you out before your solo audition. Don't let her get to you. " My mom reassured

"Yeah, get to her first." Max said." May I suggest a tiger attack?"

"Max.."

"Rhino attack? I know a guy, " Max said

"No. No animals, Max. " My mom said,"Phoebe, what you need to do is let it roll off your back. Always works for me. " "What Hank? You don't think I let things roll off my back?"

"I didn't say that," my dad answered, "but I did spit it." My parents went to open the door for Darcy.

"You know moms right. I'm gonna let this this roll off my back and be nice to Veronica." I told my brother

"Big mistake," he said. "Sorry, @Wolfgang, no go for the rhino. Please credit my account, " He said as he messaged someone in his phone.

"Where's Becca?" I asked.

"She has something to do today, so we won't be seeing her til tomorrow," Max told me. I nodded my head and left.

At School
"Hey, Veronica. Look, I know the pressure of the solo spot is getting to us, so I brought you a smoothie." I said as I handed Veronica the smoothie, I walked back to Cherry." Hey Cherry, Did you see what I did there? I just let yesterday's spitball roll off my back. V is now a fan of the Pheebs. " All of a sudden, I felt something run down my back."V did that, didn't she?" I turned around to face Veronica

"You and I are enemies, and 16 ounces of but-kiss isn't going to change that. This solo spot is...Miiine, " she said in a sing-song voice

"Okay, I get it," I snapped. She dropped the cup and walked away.
