Good Gone Bad (School of Rock story)

The New Band

Skylar's Pov

What's up? I'm Skylar Martin. I'm 16 years old, and I am the band manager of our secret band at school called "School of Rock" Yeah, that bitch Summer Hathaway, moved away and now she's gone forever. I took everything from her. Just like she did to me. Fine. Want to know why I hate her so much? It's because in Kindergarten, she stole Tomika from me! Tomika and I were best friends in Kindergarten. But then Summer came and stole her, along with all of my other friends! But of course, she doesn't remember. Which was perfect since she didn't recognize me. So I acted like I just met her, and acted like I didn't know her. I even turned her friends against her. We're all best friends now. Except Lawrence is on the fence with me. Whatever. Also, I'm with Freddy Huerta. The band's dreamy drummer, and Summer's crush. I admit I did steal him just to rub it in Summer's face, but I actually do like him. We've been together for a year now, and it's going strong.  I go to my locker which is next to Tomika's.

"Hey Tomika. How are you?" Tomika is the lead singer and the bass player for our band. 

"I'm good. Just bummed because we haven't really gotten many gigs lately." I sigh. As band manager, it's hard to find gigs. Especially for a secret band that no one knows about.

"I know I'm sorry. Wherever I book a gig, they say that a popular band has the gig and we can't play." We go to Mr. Finn's class. Thankfully he's still our teacher. Freddy is the first one to greet me.

"Hey, cuteness." He kisses my cheek. I giggle. I always giggle and blush when he does that. He's just really sweet. Since Summer left, no one has given her any thought. Good.

"So. Skylar any word on gigs?" I sigh and look down.

"No. Every venue is booked. This band called BuzzKilled, has been booked." Everyone looks at me.

"A band named Buzzkilled? What the hell kind of name is that?" I shrug. They all groan and look at me angrily.

"You can't find just one gig to book? It's been 6 months Skylar!" Zack, our electric guitarist. Or one of them anyway, said.

"I'm trying! You try and book some gigs!" I sigh and cross my arms. Then I heard something that made my blood boil.

"At least Summer knew how to book gigs, and was organized. It was a bit better." It was low, but I heard it.  I know who said it. Freddy.

"Well, she's not here! And remember what she did to you? She was a horrible person and doesn't deserve to be recognized or thought of. Just drop it, okay?"  Freddy immediately shut up.

"Sorry sweetie. I forgot for a second." We all sit down at our desks. Mr. Finn comes in, late as usual.

"Hey guys. Let's rock!" Everyone gets out the instruments and starts playing. I didn't mean to snap. I just hate when they mention Summer. But let's not dwell on lesser things and focus on the big things.

"Don't worry guys. I'll find us a gig." Lawrence spoke up.

"Let's hope so. Because I feel like people are starting to forget about us." I nod. I call another venue.

"Hi. I have a band called School of Rock and wanted to ask if they could play there." I didn't hear good news. I sigh.

"Okay. Thank you for your time." I groan.

"So, did you get us a gig?" I nod now. Everyone sighs.

"That band BuzzKilled took this one too! I'm guessing this band is popular or something." Zack had his laptop out.
