The Beta Band

Chapter 1:

==> Dave: Talk to Every Seatmate

I don't really remember what was showing on the TV that day. All I know was that the speakers were blaring and it was featuring something about this school band called Alpha and a new song that I have no idea what was called, but I thought I should at least watch TV now than not getting the chance tomorrow.

Yeah, see tomorrow was gonna be the first day of school and my bro wanted me to be early. so I thought of staying up watching TV. I was the only one at home that day but, hey, I can't blame my bro, he had practice that evening and my parents were douches and left us. But, then I got bored eventually so I put off the TV and went to my room to get some sleep so my bro won't rage in my room just to wake me up.

The next day, the alarm clock blared to life, suspiciously early and then I remembered that I set 10 minutes early so my bro won't barge in. So I got my clean on, dressed up, dumped my things in my bag. Bro already left by then so I just waited on the futon for another 5 minutes, entered the school bus. When I got in, I noticed that everybody was quiet and that everybody was looking at either a guide book, or a map. Also, there was only one seat left so I sat beside this dorky looking kid with buckteeth, messy black hair and, even behind my shades, beautiful blue eyes. Heck, if I didn't know better I'd say he was a girl, but then again that's highly doubtful since he was wearing a male uniform. It took a while, but the kid beside me smiled a cute little bucktoothed smile and greeted "Hi! My name is-!" But before he could finish, the ride stopped and everybody started pooling out. "Oh! I gotta go! I'll see you then!" He finished. Well, I thought, I'm okay with it if I don't see him again, either way, what are the chances I'd see him again anyway? You thought as you made your way inside the school campus. It's not like we're gonna be classmates, that's too big a coincidence, even if there are , only 2 sections.

That's what I thought as I made my way to the class boards in the colonnade and found that I was in section "Derse" and I tried to remember that as I made my way up the flight of stairs, (god you hated the stairs) went through to the bridge, to the huge purple double doors with the label, Derse. I casually opened the doors and took a step in with a few students. By now you're probably wondering why I said that there were only 2 sections, and that there was a huge double door. You see, the school I entered, wasn't exactly your typical everyday school, I entered "Skia Academy" The world's most prestigious school, complete with geniuses of every kind. It's facilities, from the gemstone chandeliers (And I'm talking about genuine gemstones here) to the "Queen Gardens" were top-notch and the students were from different, and may I add rich and powerful, bloodlines, heck, we have the kids of pop stars, company CEOs, presidents, queens etc. It was practically a school that came out of a story book. Also, remember how I said I entered a school bus? Yeah, allow me to correct myself, I meant schoollimo. But if you look closer into the school, you'll see me, and what good am I? I'm the little brother of Hollywood Director "D-Strides" the dude that makes incredibly shitty movies and, not just gets away with it, but in fact has people eat it up. It's crazy I know, but hey, we now have a family cash fountain. Anyway, I entered the classroom, there were 8 chairs there. Which is ridiculous, I mean, to only have 16 pupils per-level, but I guess it's not that ridiculous, considering just how exclusive the school is. I got in, and I immediately went to the last and second row near the window. This is a good spot I thought, it's the spot that all the ironic anime protagonists sit. I hung my bag, folder, thing on the hook attached to your glass desk.

Looking around, not everybody seemed to be there, since the seat next to mine was empty. I thought I waited around 10 more minutes until a blonde girl strode towards the glass desk beside me. Putting her things under her desk, and then she abruptly stood up, momentarily catching you off guard, but you soon notice that everybody else stood up and is facing the digital board. In front of class, you hear someone clear his throat, you turn your head to see the teacher standing there staring daggers at you. You quickly stand up, but you still keep your poker face intact.

"'Morning class." The teacher asks finally taking his eyes off you.

"Good Morning, Sir." All of you respond in unison.

The teacher turns around and drags his finger across the digital board. His name begins to spell out, when he was done he asks you to sit down, he then continues to talk. "Alright you stuck-up snobby brats, I'm Professor Slick, Spades Slick. I teach you noobs History class, at the same time, I'm also your homeroom. Alright I'll begin the roll-call." He sits down afterwards, then taps the desk, he types something onto the digital glass and starts yelling. Again.

"Ampora!" Prof. Slick begins, I start to trail my eyes to a hipster looking guy with a blue striped scarf and slightly dyed hair. He also had black framed glasses and was raising his hand. Actually if you looked closer you could see that he was idly staring at a pretty girl with pink framed glasses. She looked smart and very attentive; you liked her immediately, platonically, of course.

The roll-call went on as you patiently waited for your turn.

Professor continued calling names, but I didn't really hear all of it. That is, till' he called out "Lalonde!" and the girl beside me simply raised her hand without looking away from her digi-desk memo pad. (Since when did she start writing?) You tried to take a peek but before I could, she whispered "There's something on your elbow."

Surprised, I lifted my arm and took a peek, I didn't see anything. I placed my hand down and asked, frustrated. "What the hell? Did you do that to make me look stupid?" She, however just brushed it off and looked at me straight in the eye. "Not at all." The blonde said simply and tilted her head to Prof. Slick who was already exiting the file which you assume is the attendance and he clasped his hands "Well, that's it for roll-call you brats. I'm surprised you paid attention even... Guess I'm properly paid after all." Okay, you're pretty sure he didn't intend you to hear that last part since he murmured it. But still, when were you called? And why didn't he wait until you raised your- Okay, so maybe she saved you by making you raise your hand, but still that couldn't be her motif. I looked at her with a questioning look and she just smirked and whispered something that sounded like "I believe you owe me an apology." and she immediately tore her eyes off of me. I did the same and trained my eyes on Professor who was saying something about introducing ourselves.
