~Unsteady Beat~

~Chapter 1~

*Narrator's POV*

Danielle gave her aunt a hug before heading off to school in her blue Sudan and nearly being late because of all of the L.A. traffic. She let out a big sigh and handed her schedule to the teacher, so she could check and make sure if she was supposed to be here. Everyone was staring at her because she was the only new student that the school had seen in months.

She had just moved here from California because there was a terrible tragedy that happened to her best friend and she moved in with her Aunt Lily. There had been a lot of bad things happening in Dani's life, which didn't help her with her anxiety. But if there was something that helped her calm down, it was music.

It didn't matter if it was rock, pop, love songs, or even techno dubstep. She loved it all and she also loved to DJ. It was her passion, but she had kept it to herself for many years. She didn't have any friends and she didn't think she was going to make any. That is until she saw a girl with pink and purple dyed hair.

Dani went to sit next to her, when another girl,very rudely, immediately took the seat. She scoffed and pushed away the thought of starting a fight the first day at her new school. She then took the seat on the other side of the girl with the purple and pink hair.

She was taking out her books, when two jocks came flying by and knocked her bag to the ground. The girl with the purple and pink hair got up and bent down to help Dani pick them up, she looked straight into her eyes and they sat there for a few seconds.

*Danielle's POV*

But then the girl started to speak with the voice of an angel,"Hi, umm, my name is Melody. Don't mind those jocks, they'll just wind up hurting themselves and giving us a good laugh in the end."

 "Yeah, or maybe get sent to the principles office for 'accidentally' hitting something or someone in the face with a football."

She giggled with the prettiest smile I had ever seen. I just laughed like the doof I was. 

"My name is Danielle, but you can call me Dani. I um...I'm new here." 

"That's cool, do you want me to show you around after class?" she asked politely. 

"That would make my life so much easier, thanks!" I said sounding like an idiot.

"No problem, could actually use the company," Melody sat back down at her desk and sent me a look saying 'this class is boring as hell' and I shot back 'tell me about it'. It was like that the rest of the class period, it was like we knew each other for years.

Then the bell rang and we walked to the office to get an excuse for our next classes so Melody could show me around. We walked back out of the office with two notes for each of us excusing whatever classes we missed. "We should go to the gymnasium first, because it's at the very end of the school and it buys us more time, since we have 'get out of jail free' cards."

"Sounds good." We talked about different things, until I accidentally brought up that I loved music. Did I mention I'm dumb sometimes? "OMG, You like music too?!"

"Yeah, I like to DJ and remix songs and I've even written a few, but I can't sing, so they're useless."

"Don't say that. Hey, what if I sang them? Would it make you feel better?" 

"Wow, first day and I have a best friend. Well sure!" I was really surprised when she squealed and hugged me like I just gave her a new car. She got off and blushed a deep shade of pink...I thought it was really cute.

"Sorry, I get a little excited sometimes. We don't have to do the rest of the tour if you want." I felt a little bad that she was flustered, but I felt comfortable and I was having fun. 

"Hey come on, you don't have to be embarrassed!

Remember, we're best friends now, we can be comfortable around each other and tell each other everything without being embarrassed or left out. "She blushed an even darker shade of pink, which I didn't think was possible, it did match her hair though...

"Okay, where do you wanna go next?" she asked causally. 

"I think we already explored everywhere, and maybe even some places we didn't even have to go." We both giggled and kept walking back to our classes. We both looked at our schedules and,conveniently, we had all of the same classes but one.

It was really cool! So we had the rest of the day to goof around together and get to know each other, until the last bell rang and Melody grabbed my arm and we booked it to the bathroom with our bags. We heard the huge stampede of students outside of the bathroom, and quite frankly, it scared me.

"That was a close one, we almost got shit stomped by a stampede." (If you don't get thine reference, then you shalt be ashamed) "Yeah, thanks for saving me back there." We walked out of the bathroom after it sounded calm again. We got to the front door and it was raining.

"Oh crap, now I have to walk home in this shit."

"Umm, excuse me but I'm not just gonna sit here and let my main boo get cold and sick, tryna get back home! Aint no way in hell would I want to walk in this, so imma give you a ride home."

"Really, you don't have to do that." 

"Gurl, do I have to force you?" She looked a little startled, then got the joke and started laughing at herself. She was adorable, with her little dimples and nose. "Come on then, if you wont move I will be forced to carry you, because no best friend left bee-hind!" Then I made a fart noise, and she fell to the floor laughing.

It was only then that I noticed that she didn't fall from laughing, but instead, due to tripping over the rug at the doorway. She made me laugh even harder just from how much she was laughing...seriously, one of us was soon to die cuz we couldn't breathe! It was ridiculous of how hard we were laughing for just a simple trip....then I saved both of us by sighing loudly and we slowly calmed down.

"Are we good to go?" 

"Yeah, I'm okay now, heh," I took her hand and took out my umbrella, then opened it and both of us huddled together to stay out of the rain. I got her to the passenger side of the car and then proceeded to the driver's side. I took her home and we exchanged phone numbers so we could talk later.

I got home and was really motivated to do something, so I wrote a song specifically for her before folding it up. I was going to give it to her at the right time, and I had to admit, I think I'm starting to have feelings for her. I just hope that it doesn't turn out like last time...
