Band Imagines

FOB - Andy Hurley

He Walks Into Your Music Class

Y/N

You never felt more at home then when you started playing the drums and fell into your music zone. People at school were surprised at first that you chose the drums as your instrument because you were a girl, but you quickly changed their minds with your natural skill.

Your music teacher had introduced you to some other members of the class and you had formed a band with yourself on drums. You practised every lunchtime because you had music class straight afterwards.

Today however the other guys had left early and you'd decided to stay behind to work on a new drum solo. You were so in the zone that you didn't notice the classroom door open and two men approach you until you finish your solo and hear clapping.

You look up and notice your music teacher is clapping like a madman while the man next to him seems oddly familiar.

"When did you decide to add a drum solo Y/N?" The teacher asks, sounding like a proud parent.

You shrug your shoulders and twirl your drumsticks out of habit, "I felt like it fitted the song I wrote, also drum solos are awesome so why wouldn't I give myself one."

Your teacher shakes his head and you notice the other man has yet to speak but is staring at you with a mixture of awe and shock in his eyes, "Y/N let me introduce Andy Hurley, he's the drummer for Fall Out Boy. He's our guest for this afternoons class."

Your mouth drops open but you quickly close it, the Andy Hurley from your favourite band had just heard you play the drums. Scrap that, the Andy Hurley was standing in your music class who had inspired you to take up the drums.

"You have some amazing skills Y/N, I don't think I've heard anyone play like that before," Andy compliments you.

You blush slightly and put your drumsticks to the side, "Err thanks...I mean wow...Andy you're like my biggest inspiration...I went to one of your guys' concerts and the way you played the drums made me want to take them up...I have no skill compared to you...okay now I'm rambling..."

Andy laughs and you immediately shut up, only you could make a fool of yourself in front of one of your idols, "If you like I could show you a few things, and maybe you can teach me that solo Y/N."

You nod eagerly and your teacher clears his throat, "I hoped he got to hear you play Y/N. You need to know that your good and those other people see it too"

"I also heard you're in a band, while we're back in LA I'm sure the other guys would love to hear what you guys have got. We're always looking for a new support act."

"I'm glad I came into today and sure I'll ask the other guys. Thanks, Andy," you gush, shocked at potentially opening for Fall Out Boy in the future.
