Lincoln-

"You're a sound board operator?" Luke asks.

"Why do you think I've been trying to do it for the past I don't know," She pretends to check the time on her phone. "10 minutes?"

"We thought you were just trying to learn!" Zander objects.

"I've lived here with my uncle since I was fourteen. I've been at these studios since then. I've got plenty of experience."

"Okay, point proven, let's work." I interject before they continue to argue.

Arabella hands Zander a set of headphones and ushers him into the booth with the rest of us.

"We'll do the chorus of It Started With Hello first, okay?" She says. We all nod in agreement, she plays the track until the chorus.

Hello, come out,

And smile with me.

Hello, come out,

And stay with me.

Hello, come out,

To laugh with me

She pauses the track and plays it back. "Now the chorus with Zander singing the echo." She says she looks down at the lyrics sheet in front of her and reads off where all our solos and the chorus and the bridge and the final chorus is.

She plays the audio track again and we pick up the chorus again.

Hello, come out, (come come on out)

And smile with me. (Just smile away)

Hello, come out, (please come on out)

And stay with me. (Oh, please just stay)

Hello, come out, (Come out with me)

To laugh with me (Laugh here with me)

She plays it back so we can here it.

"Let's do the bridge guys." She says. Zander takes a few steps back along with Henrick and me. Nolan and Luke prep to sing the bridge. Nolan singing the echo.

It's the way she smiles. (The way she smiles)

That makes my knees go weak

It's her beautiful laugh (Her beautiful laugh)

That makes my heart race

It's her dazzling eyes (Oh, her dazzling eyes)

They will light up a room.

When she's smiling (That brilliant smile)

I'll be smiling too

When she's laughing (That wonderful laugh)

I'll wanna laugh

Her sparkling eyes (Those sparkling eyes)

Makes me so happy

"Guys that sounded brilliant!" She praises as she cuts the audio and plays it back. No doubt about it, those two voices are the best match of the team.

"What next Bella?" Nolan asks curiously.

"Solos. In order, so Lincoln you're up." she says. She waits for me to give her the go ahead. I give her a nod and prepare to sing after the intro to the song.

Lincoln:

Those bright brown eyes,

That warm sweet smile.
