When Markers Met Drumsticks [andy hurley]

The Girl With The Markers

(A/N : this fictional world is believed to take place in 2003)

"We have a new student coming in today! She said she came from like someplace like, really far away from here." said the teacher in the classroom I'm about to enter.

I was actually like, just gonna stand there and said nothing, but it's not gonna be that long, so I'm okay with it.

I entered the room, everyone staring at my shitty face, while I'm looking quite kinda nervous.

"Class, this is Alex. She's the new student. Do you mind introducing yourself?" the teacher said to me.

"Uh, s-sure. Hi there, I-uhh, umm, my name is Alex Yu, and I came from Indonesia?" I answered with a shy and weird feeling.

"That's it? What about your previous school?" the teacher asked, which made me lazy to talk about my previous life.

"Oh that, meh, it's okay, I decided to move here because I'm a bit tired of wearing the same thing to school all day." I explained a bit as the teacher started laughing a bit.

"Heh, okay. So, Alex, Is it okay for you to sit next to, Candice? Like, over there on the edge?"

"Uh, yea. It's okay." I said as I walked to the seat on the edge and sat down at it.

I was preparing my text books when I heard someone greeting me.

"Hi!" said the girl next to me who appears to wear glasses and have a really short hair. She looks so cute, I wanna ruffle her hair for some reason.

"Uh, salutations?" I replied with a little smile, seeing her getting a little confused.

"It means hello." I explained to her as she grinned at me.

A lot of time has passed, instead of getting bored, I sneaked my hand to my backpack and grabbed my precious sketchbook to doodle.

That is what I actually do when I randomly got bored in class while listening to stupid teachers back at my previous school. Sometimes I thought, maybe that's what's making me not smart.

I was still doodling when suddenly the bell rang, and everyone's heading to have lunch break.

I sat alone, staring at my food, when suddenly this girl with the glasses and short hair appeared to me again.

"I never knew you were artistic." she said.

"Hold up. You were actually watching me doodle the whole time??" I said.

"Yeah, I was trying to get to know you."

"Oh. Well, as you know, I'm Alex."

"My name's Candice. Candice Ladd."

"I wanna ask, favorite band?"

"Ooh, ooh, I liked a lot, actually, like Green Day, Muse, Linkin Park, Thirty Seconds To Mars, ya know, something punk like that. I also listened to oldies, like, Queen, David Bowie, The Beatles, yeh, somethin' like that too."

"Oooohh sugoi, I don't listen to oldies, but I LOVE THOSE PUNKY BANDS YOU LIKE!!"

"OH MY GOD REALLY?"

At the moment we just squealed at each other while at the center of billion students enjoying their lunch break.

Basically after lunch break, we just talked about ourselves, I never knew Candice was artistic too.

As times passed, suddenly it was already the time to go home.

While waiting for my dad, Candice was beside me.

"I actually have this other friend. Maybe I could introduce her to you tomorrow?" Candice asked.

"Sugoi, sure, I'd love to." I answered when my dad came.

"Wait! Alex, before you go, here, have this." Candice lent me a piece of paper. It was her phone number.

"Bye!" She waved at me as I got in my dad's car.

"I saw that you made a friend already, I'm proud of you, Al." said my dad.

"Heh, yeah." I said with a tired feeling.

As I got home, I head to my bedroom, dropped my backpack to the floor, and jumped to my bed faced down.

"Tired, Alex?" my mom came in and asked.

"Yep." I replied, still faced down.

"So, how was it?"

"It was okay..."

"Dad told me you've made a friend already, I'm proud."

My mom left the room and I got bored for some reason, I decided to text Candice.

alex < heyooo
candice < Yoooo
alex < watcha doin'? i'm bored
candice < Not doing much, I was just doodling stuff
alex < oooooohh i wanna see sometimes :D

And then I heard my mom shouted at me for dinner

And the next day will be continued.
