At school, Harper and Leo were strolling through the hallway. Harper wore a white blouse with ripped jeans and brown lace-up boots.
As they walked, they heard a loud guitar playing in the middle of the hallway. Harper noticed Adam and Chase standing next to the new kid, who was playing the guitar exceptionally well.
"Hey, peeps. What's the deal-io?" Leo greeted as he and Harper joined the group.
"Hi, I'm Marcus." The new kid introduced himself.
"I know." Leo replied, fist bumping Marcus. "We have gym together. And study hall. And also chemistry." Marcus tilted his head, unable to recognize him. "We're lab partners."
Marcus pursed his lips. "Oh. I did not know that." He turned to Harper. "What's your name?"
"I'm Harper." She introduced with a small smile.
"I'm Marcus." He greeted, chuckling nervously when he realized. "Even though I just told you that."
Harper chuckled lightly. "It's fine, really. It's nice to meet you."
"Oh boy." Leo muttered under his breath.
Marcus gave him a confused glare before turning to Chase. "Chase, you ever play guitar?"
"No, but I've always wanted to." Chase replied.
"Well, I'm a jammer as well." Leo spoke, gaining everyone's attention. "My rocking is only eclipsed by my rolling."
"Leo, your mum said you played the clarinet for three weeks until you swallowed the reed." Chase teased.
"I passed it."
"Here, Chase. You want to give it a go?" Marcus offered, handing him the guitar.
"Yeah...Yeah. Sure, why not?" Chase replied, taking the guitar from Marcus.
Chase slung the guitar strap over his shoulder, took the pick from Marcus, and started playing.
Harper's eyes widened as Chase played the guitar skillfully. He slid across the ground, but stopped abruptly when he realized he had gotten carried away. He stood up and sheepishly smiled.
"Uh... well. What do you know? Beginner's luck." Chase said hesitantly as he handed Marcus back his guitar.
Harper chuckled slightly, certain that Chase had used his bionics to scan the guitar.
"Okay, how about some lunch?" Marcus suggested, looking at everyone.
"Yeah."
"Okay."
"Sounds good to me."
"Come on, Marcus, let us join you for your first-day school lunch." Harper insisted, linking her arms with Marcus. He glanced down, raising an eyebrow at her sudden touch. She led him to the crowded cafeteria. "I should warn you, don't expect a five-star meal."
