“Me!” Nelson yelled from two rooms back.
“How the hell did you hear that?” I yelled. “You only play a superhero on the silver screen.”
“Do I?” he yelled back.
“Is…this what it’s always like with you all?” Aaron looked between everyone in the hallway.
“Always,” Uriah said.
Ora laughed. “Worse, usually.”
Aaron squeaked, “I thought drag night at the bar was bad.”
“Drag?!” Bryce slid out of the room in a Risky Business move. “Drag? Where? When? I love drag queens!”

Iwalked into the dorm room, late.
It was nearly one a.m., and I had spent that time with Hailey and Maddox—Maddox Jones of Robot Servant—talking over the contracts and rehearsal schedule for the mini tour.
They opted to push the studio time back. It wasn’t enough time with rehearsals. Then, in six weeks, we’d have dates in London, Manchester, Glasgow, Berlin, Frankfort, Paris, Rome, Bucharest, Moscow, Milan, Barcelona, and Madrid.
Bucharest. I knew it existed, but I had to Google where it existed.
Hungary, as it turned out. I didn’t even know how to say hello in Hungarian. It could totally come out likeI’d like to spank your sister with a bologna sandwichand I wouldn’t know. I also had to stop watching so muchFuturama.
No one was allowed along. It was the band and support only. No friends, no family, no love interests.
Not that I had one.
We were going by commercial jet, first-class.
I’d never been on a plane before.
We’d need our passports and visas for different countries. And we would have two suites to ourselves. Each with two or three bedroom and privateen suites.
I glanced at the bathroom Mel and I shared with Wright and Hernandez.
“Ay-ay?” Mel’s voice drifted in the room. A second later he gasped and tried to hide the fact he was naked in his bed with David.
“Ain’t nothing I haven’t seen before, big guy,” I said, walking in and falling on to my own bed.
“I’m sorry.” He looked horrified.
“Melvin Garvin, stop it,” I said. “You’re happy. David looks good there. Let the guy breathe.”
David chuckled and lowered the sheet. “Sorry.” He was adorably red faced, but totally unrepentant. Which was fine because seriously, these two were perfect for each other.
“Are you okay, A?” Mel sat up in the bed and leaned against the wall.
“Shock, I think.” I stared blankly at the space above his head. “Shock. Most likely.”
“You had an exam tonight,” David said. “What happened?”
“You had theauditiontonight,” Mel gasped. “Oh, no, tell me they didn’t like you?”
My eyes traveled down to him and David snuggled against each other under the sheet. “They loved me. They hired me on the spot.”
