Maxxie
"Top three the streets songs. Go!"
Maxxie asked as he and Hugh made their way to another band practice.
"Uhh.. Could well be in, Blinded by the lights andd Lets push things forward"
Hugh replied, knowing he'd be slandered for his answers.
"Oh jesus christ Hugh. No! How are you forgetting about 'Has it come to this?'
'It's too late?' 'Wouldn't have it any other way?' God you need as much tutoring on music as Chester does, which is saying something because he never listens to music"
Maxxie complained as the two boys entered the class room.
"Nice of you to show up"
Mr Magaña gave the two boys a disappointed stare.
"My apologies"
Maxxie laughed as Mr Magaña rolled his eyes at the two before shooing the boys to their places.
"So, I was thinking.. you know the Shout House?"
Maxxie whispered to Hugh and the rest of his band members as they got into positions for band practice.
"The big venue just out of town?"
Daphne asked as she set up her keyboard.
"Yeah yeah. There's a couple openings in a few weeks. I think we should try get a gig there"
Maxxie presented, which everyone seemed to agree to, apart from Hugh.
"Don't you think Rockabilly is good enough for now?"
Hugh asked as he tried to sink into his chair.
"Hugh, do you wanna be playing at Rockabilly diner until we're 40 or do you actually wanna get somewhere with our music? I know you're nervous but I promise it'll be fine, it's not like you can have a voice crack you play bass, and nobody will even notice if you mess up"
Maxxie encouraged as Hugh bit the inside of his mouth.
"Okay, yeah. Maybe"
Hugh replied as the rest of the band began cheering, a rush of excitement fuelling them at the new opportunity.
The class went fast, the band practiced their music and talked about which songs they'd perform if they were able to get a gig and the Shout House.
"Hey Max"
Mr Magaña stopped the freckled boy as everyone made their way out the music room at the end of class.
"Hey Phil"
Maxxie winked.
"It's Mr Magaña to you, how are you doing? How's home?"
Mr Magaña asked, he'd known Maxxie since he was a kid, he used to be friends with his sister so he'd become part of the family for a while.
"Yeah, good. Me and the band are thinking of getting a gig at the Shout House. Dad got a new job which seems to be making more money, and if I get this gig hopefully I'll be able to start helping out with the bills and stuff too"
Maxxie smiled, life hadn't been this good in a long time.
"That's great kid. You know you'll have to come up with a band name if you're gonna try get gigs though, you'll look unprofessional if you don't. How's Mel?"
Mr Magaña asked.
"Yeah, I'll talk to the others. She's good, you should come over some time. Sure she'd love to see you"
Maxxie replied before the two said their goodbyes and Maxxie left the classroom where Hugh and Alex were waiting for him outside.
"Got any suggestions for band names?"
Maxxie asked as the three made their way to their next class.
