Jamming sessions

Damn, Ari, how much shit do you still need to organize?"
HuTao asks me, carrying two of my folders containing notes, club materials, and papers for the student council.

"I would have half the amount of stuff we're carrying if the entire junior grade hadn't chosen me as their representative in the student council. I DIDN'T EVEN WANT THE POSITION; I was about to leave the council anyway."

"Well—"

"No, well, my ass! I need to find a substitute of some sort because this is becoming annoying as hell."

Letting out a sigh and shaking her head, HuTao gives up on the topic and focuses on walking.

After a few minutes of silence, she says,
"Even if you don't like doing it, last year you were better than the actual representative, so this year it was an obvious choice."

"I understand, but at the time I was too focused on being the 'overachiever top student.' Now I couldn't care less, and I prefer to have more time for myself. You know how our friendship took a toll last year because I was too busy."
I say, trying to get my point across.

Not receiving a response, I take out the keys to the second classroom I'm in charge of: the music studio.
Unlike the science lab, the music club wasn't my idea; the responsibility was basically 'dumped' on me.
Even though it's a clear pain in the ass, at least here I can freely play my guitar and hang out with people.
We do have actual teachers who come here to give lessons, but it has become a safe place for music lovers to get together.

Finally putting my papers and folders down on my desk, I take out my phone and connect it to the speakers and before I could ask, Hu speaks up

"Can you put some Nirvana?"

"I guessed so, here take my phone. Oh by the way did you-"

"Yes I went and got your classes and clubs time tables."
Hearing this I walk up to her and give her a big kiss on the cheek and a hug.

"I'll take it as a thank you."
She says after letting me go as she puts her song on the speakers.

This is perfect, less things to stress about the better

Sitting at my desk I  lift up my feet placing them on top of it waiting for the mentally retarded people to arrive.
In the mean time HuTao sits down at the drums and starts playing alongside the Nirvana song.

(I suggest playing the song below and start reading from here :)
After her performance I get up and choose the next song: I Want It All by Arctic Monkeys;
taking the electric guitar me and Hu exchange looks for a second and by telepathy we start playing together.

Completely zoning out I start singing along.

Blind faith, heartache
Mind games, mistakes
My sweet fireball
My sweet rigmarole

I want it all
I want it all

HuTao joins me singing the 2 second verse.

Old dogs, new tricks
Can you feel it?
Space age country girl
Stone cold miracle

I want it all
I want it all

Having a full on duet we finish the song together both in our own little world.

And then suddenly it hit me
It's a year ago
Since I drank miniature whiskey
And we shared your Coke
Said, ain't it just like you to kiss me
And then hit the road?
Leave me listening to the Stones
Two-thousand light years from home
