The compliment was unexpected. Mikey's voice wavered a little before stopping all together. He cracked open his eyes and looked toward the sound of the voice. "Oh, uh, thanks!" Feeling suddenly self-conscious, the teenager straightened in his chair, dropping his feet back to the ground.
And apparently the newcomer knew him! "Yeah, I am. What's your name?" It was on the tip of his tongue to ask how Cookie knew who he was before he remembers that Vocal Adrenaline members are well-known outside their group. "I can't say I expected to see anyone else in here this early." Practice didn't start for over an hour yet. Even if other Adrenalites were around, they might be avoiding the auditorium as long as possible.
