Pretentious ~ Synopsis

This is a synopsis from one of my original story.

This is just a draft so there might be some typo or grammatical error. And it's just a synopsis, the story might change later. If you want to read the real story just message me. I'll post my other work too after this one.

In my world, image is the top priority, followed by talent. And in this world it’s hard to find genuine people. Everyone is always acting up for whatever selfish reason they had. It’s fake and I refused to be one of them. I always stick to my real self and that would be the jerk and honest me. I like to be honest and I hate it when I lied. They say it would be bad for the band. Screw them.

“Let’s go grab some coffee.” Our younger brother Cody insisted.

“Fine.” Our manager shrugged. “There’s a Starbucks nearby. I’ll call my son, just tell me what you guys want.”

“How’s Toby doing?” My oldest brother, Sean, and also the last member of the band asked.

“Anti-social as usual.” He frowned.

“Because he’s a nerd.” I said.

“Sam.” Sean warned.

Why does he always take charge? I’m the one who make our music and I’m the band’s leader. He can’t decide things for me.

“Whatever.” I said and immediately got out of the van the moment we stopped. Our manager was furious but I just ignore him. It’s not like I’m going far away. I just want to get some air and I can hide in the parking lot. No one would notice me, ok maybe people will notice but they will just ignore me. That’s what my hat is for.

“Hey Sam.” Toby greeted me. He’s still the same nerd. No wonder people bully him.

“Hey.” I greeted back.

“Uhmm. What flavor is yours?” He asked.

“I didn't order one.”

“Oh, OK.” He said and went inside the van.

A few minutes later he came back outside.

“See you tomorrow Sam.”

“Bring your friends backstage.” I said because I’m hoping they will treat him well if they find out he’s a friend of ours. We've been friends since kids.

“I’m not like you guys.” He said mad. Shit. What did I do again? I’m really such a jerk. I didn't know it would offend him. “I don’t need to be popular.”

“I just want to help.” I explained.

“I don’t need your help!” He yelled and dashed off.

I screwed it up again. Just like I always do, I acted like a jerk.

“Leave me alone!” I heard him yelled frantically.

He’s being surrounded by five boys. The situation looks dangerous. I was about to help when what he said suddenly rang to my ears. He said he doesn't need my help. He’s right. It would only make him more pathetic if I help him. He needs to do this alone. I would watch and if I ever saw it going the bad way I’ll go help him. I just hope it won’t turn out that way. Toby’s nice and I like him. He doesn't deserve to be treated like this.

I was busy in my thought that I didn't notice the girl near me. Who the hell is this? Good thing I’m hidden from the shadow. No one hasn't seen me yet.

She moved her body and it’s now half facing me. I can clearly see how beautiful this girl is and she did something I never expect she would. She kicked the can to the jackass bullying Toby. And in my peripheral vision it was really hot. Nothing can’t explain the thing I’m feeling right now.

The guy went after her slowly. Shit what should I do? Should I help her?

Then I saw Toby running away towards his car. He’s a nice person but he’s really a coward. I've never been pissed at him until now. He shouldn't have left this girl alone with this other guys.

I‘m about to help her but then she moved so fast. I didn't even have time to blink. Who would have thought a girl doing a wrestling technique would be this irresistibly hot? She made me turned on right now.

“Damn that’s hot.” I carefully approached her while applauding. What the hell am I thinking exposing myself? I just hope she won’t scream my name. But what I saw in her face is priceless. She’s confused and it’s too damn cute.

“I've been watching here long before you came.” I explained. “And that Van you’re kneeling right now is mine.” Shit, am I being a jerk again? I don’t want to screw this up. There’s something about her that draws me in.

“Sorry.” She said annoyed.

And she’s accusing me of not helping Toby?! I was about to until she takes on the scene. How can I do something when everything happened so fast, plus the person involve was not even here.

Wait did I just hear her say rapist or kidnapper?

“You don’t know who I am?” I asked surprised.

She doesn't know who I am! What the hell. It suddenly hurt my ego.

“Go to hell.” She said and nothing hurts more than those words from her mouth. I just wanted to disappear right now.

I called out to her but she disappeared in the dark and whoever this girl, I will find her. And find out everything about her.
