Battle of the Bands

chapter 4

I'm up at six I have my shower and get ready for school. When I'm ready I go outside and pop the hood on my car, to see why it wont start. Just as I thought it was the starter, I guess I will have to  see if I can get it fixed. I decided to go backing the house and watch some T.V. There is nothing I really want to watch so I just sit there and listen to music. My phone goes off and it is Tia 

Tia;) 

we are here girl 

$Me$ 

k be right out

I guess door bells are over rated. I grab my bag from the kitchen and my phone off the table and head out to the car. When I get in the girls throw questions at me like crazy, questions about their outfits and stuff like that, I don't  know why they ask me I don't know the slightest thing about fashion. I have my tomboy look that I grew up with and never changed. 

"What's wrong" Tia asked me.

"Nothing" I hadn't told them about Logan yet.

"You sure you have hardly said anything since we picked you up."

"Okay, fine, I met a guy last night." I told them about last night.

"I was wondering why you didn't answer. You usually answer your texts I knew something was up" Shy exclaimed. 

"Ya" by this time we were in the parking lot of the school Tia parks and we get out we all walk to the door and head our separate ways. 

My morning is uneventful. 

--------

Finally the lunch bell rings and I go find the girls. But before I can do that I end up running into Luke and the boys. Calum comes up and nokes my books out of my hands and then they all laugh at me and calling me names. I quickly pick up my books and walk away, punching my locker when I finally go there. Why can I be so confident and stand up for myself in so many situations but when it came to those four boys I felt like nothing, like I had no power over my body and thoughts. 

I get to the cafeteria and go to where the girls are sitting. They can tell something's up, but know not to bother me or I might lash out I get mad quite easily but also cool down fast when left alone. when I'm cooled down enough to talk we all descend this band idea. 

"I think we should go for it, we can practice at my place. I have so many instruments we can just use them for now." I pipe up once they have somewhat decided what instruments they want to play. My dad was a musician but didn't have much time for it now due to work, so we had a lot of good instruments lying around the house . We decided Tia would be on base, Shy on piano, hopefully learn to play guitar, Me on guitar, and all of us singing, all we need is a drummer, we then decide I can drum if we really need it  for now. 

When the bell rings we head to our classes. I not paying attention I hit something hard, I look up to see Michael. He flips out on me pushing me into the wall and calling me all this shit then one of the teachers walks down the hallway he takes half a step back and starts talking to me like we were not enemies, not friends but not enemies. That only lasts until the teacher walks past, and he is in my face again. 

"You got lucky this time, king." he wipers in a harsh growl, I hate that he knows my last name. He takes a step back and lets me go. I get to my class, I'm ten minutes late and have to interrupt Mrs. Fuller's lecture. 

"And why are you late?" she asks when she lets me in. 

Shit how do I answer this the only people who  know about Luke and them are Tia and Shy. "I had something to deal with." 

"And what would that be?" 

Why can't she just let it be? "Just some stuff" is my reply. 

"Well that won't get you off the hook," she motions me to come over to her desk, and I do she hands me a detentions slip and then I go and sit in my desk. 

The next hour can't take long enough, I sit there mad at the fact Micheal made me late and now I have detention for it. 

-------

I walk into detention and see the only other people there are Luke, Michael, Calum, and Ashton. As soon as I walk I the room they all look at me. "Looks like the teacher pet isn't as good as they thought she was," Luke pipes up as soon as Ms. Campbell leaves the room. I sit at the front out of habit the boys move to be right behind me. I'm nervous, what do they want? 

"What did she do? hand in her work a day late?" Calum says in a mocking voice. I sit there and try to ignore them. I sit there for half an hour with them saying things finally Luke stands up and comes up in front of me.

"Do you not talk or something?" he asks. I don't answer. And he leans in closer then there is s knock at the door and a red haired girl is at the door. 

"Shoni you are wanted in the office" She says I get up and walk out the door. Finally I can get out of there. but why would they want me? I look to ask the girl but she is already gone. When I get to the office I see Mr. T sitting in the office, I know what this is about the tutoring. He motions for me to come in and sit in a chair opposite him. There are two other chairs in the room. Then I hear the door behind me and glance over my shoulder. In walk Luke and Calum. 

Mr. T spoke up, "so I understand you have not started the tutoring yet. am I right?" 

"Ya your right, but what do we need it for?" Luke asks for him and Calum. 

"Because you are both failing my class and I think it will help you, you will have tutor sessions Tuesdays and Thursdays and more often if I don't see improvement." he tells us.  "and i will be there to suppervise to make sure you all show up."

Okay so I won't be alone with them but I still don't know if this is a good idea.

"i will see the three of you tomorrow after school then" Mr. T says. the three of us leave. we go back and finish our detention sentence the way it started. 

When I finally get out I text Tia and Shy.
