“I’ve been thinking and I decided that our band will be called ‘The Thunderflowers,’” Dina declared. I felt taken aback. I couldn’t believe she’d named our band without consulting any of the band members. This was the third time she’d made a decision for everyone all by herself. I looked around at the other members, Bradley and Janelle. From the looks on their faces, I could tell they felt the same way I did. I decided that someone needed to say something and that might as well be me.
“Dina, we should really decide on a band name together,” I said in a firm voice. She looked confused for a second but seemed to brush it off. “Yeah, but The Thunderflowers is perfect for us. Just trust me.”
“Yeah, but we’re a band. We need to do things together or we’re not a band,” Bradley chimed in. “We’re not your backup musicians,” Janelle added. Dina blushed. “I know that, I just thought-”
“Well, we need to think together because we’re a team,” I finished. She looked at each of us for a second, then sighed.
“You’re right. I’m sorry I didn’t think about asking you guys. I’m just so excited to get everything started,” she confessed.
“We’re excited, too. We just want it to be fair,” I said. She nodded. “You’re right. We should all think of band names and then vote. Everyone should have a say!”
