No Ordinary Love

Chapter 18

****Not Edited*****

Zayra's first day of school was exactly what she didn't expect it to be. First of all, she was the only 16 year old in her Senior class. Second, she was new and everyone knew of her and her recent tragedy. Third, she was not of their kind, rich. So she was looked as an odd specimen. Lastly, she found most of the teachers to be idiots. Idiots who taught other idiots.

Josh introduced her to his friends and it was funny to see that he was actually quite popular. Most of the kids there had rich parents, famous rich parents. She had famous parents yes, but not rich and definitively not up to par on fame as theirs were.

They were eating lunch when a cute blonde pointed at her. She was walking and talking to a few girls. She pointed at her and they all laughed. Zayra narrowed her eyes, taking her in.

"Don't sweat her." Ryan, one of Joshua's friends said as he noticed her face. He was also a Senior.

"Who's that?"

"That's Debbie Lucas, her father owns the Lucas brand."

"Is that supposed to matter?" she asked irritated, glaring at him.

"Huh?" he was confused at her anger.

"I mean, I notice you guys introduce each other that way, That's Ryan Jacobs, his dad is the C.E.O of Ford." she said exasperated. She was annoyed and it was only lunch.

He smiled at that. "I guess I never noticed."

"It's fucking annoying. What the fuck do I care what your family does." she huffed.

"You shouldn't." he stared at her squarely.

She had to smile. He wasn't taken of guard completely or offended by her sudden outburst.

"So," he continued. "I hear that you've been giving Joshy some pointers on guitar."

"Yeah and?"

"And I was wondering if you knew how to play the drums?" He wasn't fazed by her curt manner.

She looked at him. "I do why? You need lessons too?"

He shook his head. "Nope, I'm pretty good. I just wanted to see if maybe you'd have time to hear me out. I'm trying out for a band and I want to make sure my shit is tight."

"Is that right?"

"Yeah." he shrugged.

Josh returned with their soda and sat down. He handed Zayra and Ryan their can.

"Hey Zayra, after school, I'm going with Ryan I want to try out for the band want to come." his green eyes danced.

She looked at the two. "Why don't you guys start your own band?"

They looked at each other as if it was the stupidest thing in the world.

"Hell no."

"Why?"

"Because, this band is...is being started by Joe Saunders."

"Who the fuck is that?"

"He's...he's the brother of the lead singer to Radiosphere." he looked at her incredulously.

"Who's that?" again frowning.

Zayra had no clue who it was. She loved music but because of her troubles and her back and forth voyages to Peru, Mexico and L.A she wasn't always caught up with the new bands.

"They're like the equivalence of My Chemical Romance."

Zayra nodded, now them, she knew.

"So. That doesn't mean shit. Your dad is a producer, I'm sure you can pull some strings."
