Short Character Stories (Mainly about Johnny Depp)

Mr Depp, The Guitar Teacher (Part 17)

"MUMMMM! Don't make me go!" You moaned as you both stood outside of what looked like an old abandoned building. Not only did you not want to enter this dodgy looking building, but you knew you'd be either the oldest person their or the youngest and you didn't want to stand out among the rest there. "Either loads of cringy old people will be in there or loads of kids, I won't fit in here."

"It'll be fine."

But Johnny Depp is going to-"

"Shh, now let's go in." Your mum said while leading you inside. Only a few people were there. Some young kids and a couple fellow teenagers like yourself. "See, you aren't the oldest." Your mum let you sit on the floor as she found a bench to sit on with the other parents.

You sat crossed legged on the wooden floor. The floor looked like the type of floor you'd have in in the hall during PE lessons at school, loads of different coloured lines that all meant different things. The area you were all sat in was shady and not very lit up at all. It might even be considered scary for some of the younger kids who were there.

After about 10 minutes the lesson started. A man who was definitely not Johnny Depp walked out. He was tall and scary looking. You shuffled towards another teenager and you both discussed who the guy might be. "Who's he?"

"Probably a worker here or something. He reminds me of my headteacher at school..." You both laughed.

The scary man did roll call and took everyones names. "What's you name?" He asked you.

"Jessie." You said. "Jessie Mayor."

He wrote it down and moved onto the girl beside you. "I'm Abby Helmit." She said confidently.

The man then moved on to the younger kids.

"Do you how to play then?" Abby asked you.

"I know the odd song, but that's it. You?"

"My dad used to teach me how to play Guitar, but then he left us and obviously we never learnt more after that."

"Hmm."

The group of about 10 year olds were called, Thomas, Bobby and Lola. They were actually quite cute when they were being good and not noisy kids.

And the moment we were all waiting for, Johnny Depp arrived. He looked very quirky, but very fashionable at the same time. He was wearing a shirt that fit him well, baggy jeans and lots of necklaces, bracelets, rings and belts. All of the mums that brought their children there swooned which made you and Abby giggle. 'Johnny is fit, but not THAT fit.' You thought. Who were you kidding though? He was really hot and you'd die if he spoke to you for more than a minute let alone touched you.

He started off by passing out guitars for people and asked them to show what they could do already. Abby went first as she knew the most. She played the opening instrumental to 505 by the Arctic Monkeys and everyone was very impressed by it. Johnny clapped then asked you. You went pale then cringed a little bit. "I only knew a few cords.' You confessed.

"Show me." He said nicely. Part of you though he might be mad about you not knowing anything, but he was chill. "We are all here to learn something after all, aren't we?"

You picked up the guitar and held it across you. You put your fingers on the strings and strummed a little bit. It all kind of sounded jumbled up, but everyone knew what you were trying to do."

"That was good." He said. You knew he was probably lying, but accepted his compliment anyway. He then moved onto the younger ones who had little guitars as the regular ones were too heavy and big for them. They all just messed around and laughed.

After a little while, he did a tutorial of how to play a song called 'Good Riddance' by Green Day. He did it at 1 step at a time so everyone could follow along and you all managed to get thought the first half of the song without help in no time. By this time though, the lesson was over.

"That's it for today." The scary man from earlier told everyone. The little kids moaned about it, but you and Abby were happy that the lesson was finished. Both of your hands hurt from strumming and you were all slightly deafened from the little kids who were awful at playing at the right volume. You and Abby exchanged phone numbers.

Your mum and a few of the other mums went over to basically flirt with Johnny Depp after the lesson which to your surprise, he seemed happy with.

"MUM!" You said into her ear when she stood speaking to Johnny for over 10 minutes. "I thought you said we could go to McDonalds after the lesson."

"Shh." Your mum said. "Anyway, Johnny-"

You tuned out of the conversation after that and went to sit in the car and wait for her.

THE END

I actually know nothing about guitars so I just made random stuff up.
