I look at all the staring faces. One my teacher who can’t really believe I just said that. Two Cam, in utter disbelief like I just slapped him in the face. Three, Lucas who was smirking at me like I was the funniest person in the world. Four all the faces of the popular girls in class looking at me like I was bait. It’s not that bad and look, lucas thought it was funny so what the hell, he is my only friend I guess. I wait for someone to say something. My teacher finally looks at me in the eye and asks “Do you have a problem with that?”
“Why can’t I just be partners with Lucas? We already know each other and then Cam can go with one of his friends” I practically begged.
My teacher who I thought was cool responded with the classic “Ms.Parker, school is a place to meet and work with new people. If you are not open to it now you will never be able to do anything in your life. You do not get to choose who you meet or are forced to be partners with at any time in your life so why would I let you change now just because you want to?”
With that I am astounded, he was very sassy for a teacher and now on the bottom of my favorite teachers list and that is hard to accomplish. He acts as if he already had the partners planned while I know he just made them up now. I stare back with the meanest glare I can muster up. I put my headphones in and turn up my music to the point where I think my eardrums will explode. Just the way I like it. Pierce the veil’s “Tangled in the Great Escape” blasts through and I’m certain you can hear the bass and drums coming out of my headphones but I don’t really care. I look apologetically at Lucas for shutting him out for the rest of class but he looks back and mouths “I understand”. A few minutes later though he gets up to go talk to his partner about what they’re going to do. I don’t dare glance at Cam. I get to listen to my music for about 20mins before I feel a tap on my shoulder. I pull one earphone out and look over. It was Cam. Great.
“Don’t look so happy to see me” He says sarcastically.
“Uh, sorry?” I say back
“What were you even listening to?”
“Pierce the veil”
“Oh I took you for more of a Justin bieber type of person” Cam says to me. With that my eyes open wide and I double over with laughter.”
“Tha-That’s the most insulting thing you’ve ever said to me ha!” I try to get out but It comes out as more of a jumble of gasps and snorts. Somehow he gets what I said though and says back “Oh okay well who is this magnificent pierce the veil then?” I look back astonished. “YOU”VE NEVER LISTENED TO PIERCE THE VEIL?” I basically scream. I get some looks but most people don’t care. Cam replies with a no. immediately without even thinking I give him an earphone and stick the other in mine. To make sure the cords don’t pull our heads are pretty close. Weird. Anyways, I go and choose my favorite song called stained glass eyes and colorful tears, even though it’s really hard to pick a favorite. The intro blasts through the speakers in our ears and he winces a bit, I smirk at the fact that he can’t handle a little volume. I turn it down a bit for his more sensitive ears. It gets going and I hear my favorite part of the song, the lyrics “Oh my god this is paradise” blast through and I shiver from the intenseness in Vic’s voice (the singer). Cam gives me a weird look but keeps listening. Once the song is over I look at him expectantly to say something, his opinion. He shrugs and says “That was alright.” “ALRIGHT?! LET ME TELL YOU WHAT IS ALRIGHT, HAVING SOUP FOR DINNER IS ALL RIGHT, COMING TO SCHOOL IS ALRIGHT, WATCHING TV IS ALL RIGHT, PLAYING SPORTS IS ALL RIGHT, BUT PIERCE THE VEIL IS NOT JUST ALRIGHT, PIERCE THE VEIL IS AMAZING, YOU’RE JUST TOO MUCH OF A FUCKER TO AGREE WITH ME!” those are the words that escape out of my mouth, those are also the words that get me kicked out of the classroom. But not before I could say “by the time we are done with this project you will be coming with me to see their concert and you will love it.” I glare. Shit did I just ask him to go to a concert with me?! Why can’t life have take backs.
Authours Note: okay so this chapter is basically about pierce the veil and their music, but seriously if you haven't listened to that song, stained glass eyes and colorful tears, i highly reccomend it. But don't worry i won't scream if you don't like it :P anyways, hope you enjoyed!
