Chrissy's P.O.V.

"Thank you! This is going to save us!" I shouted as I left the huge building and walked towards my motorcycle. Taking a look at my phone showed me, that I was already 10 minutes late. I also had received dozens of messages from Dan asking where I was. I brushed my light brown locks out of my face, being dazzled by the early-summer-sun.

After putting on my helmet, I hopped onto the moped and revved the engine - a thing I loved to do. I used my foot to put back the kickstand and rushed into California's traffic.

I pulled into Dan's driveway, making  sure not to knock over his mum's flowers while I turned down the engine and took off my helmet. I blew a strand of hair out of my face, walking towards the back door, which led to the garage.

"Look who decided to come around, it's Mrs. Always Late." Will snorted from behind the drums. "Guys, calm down I have my reasons." I said, as I entered the room and closed the door. "Oh did the nailpolish take too long to dry?" I couldn't stand, when the boys were making fun of me this way, because I definitely wasn't that kind of girl.

I sighed. "You guys seriously are a pain in the ass."

"Says the one who can't manage to be at the band practises in time..." Dan mumbled, taking his guitar out of its case.

Dan and me had been best friends since we were kids and I've always been that kind of girl who hangs out with guys, because I just got along with them smoothly - and to be honest, there's nothing better than a day full of endless talks, pizza and Call of Duty shared with Dan.

Realizing we were going to be job- and also homeless someday, if we kept spending our lives inbetween pizza boxes and video games, Dan and me had the ridiculous idea of starting a band. We used to just spent weeks in his room, randomly breaking into songs and messing around, but soon we took it all way more seriously and looked for people who could fit into our band - the results were Will and Joe.

"Earth to Chrissy?!" Joe shook his hand up and down in front of my face as he ripped me out of my thoughts. "Huh? Oh sorry, I was absorbed in thought. Uhm, where was I ?"

"Well I think it's time for an explanation!" Will stated audibly annoyed. "Right..." I started "As you know, we haven't played many gigs lately and we're sort of running out of money to keep this band going... and I had this idea which will hopefully to get us further in the music business. So I went to the music centre about an hour ago. And I signed us - Against The Current - up for the Battle of the Bands!" I exclaimed cheery, throwing my arms up in the air.

"YOU'VE DONE WHAT?" they all shouted in sync. I wonderingly pulled my eyebrows together. "Oh, what have you done..." Dan put his face into his hands. "What the hell, guys? This is the best chance ever ! You know that this is THE opportunity for every band !" I stated, still not understanding their shock.

"Chrissy, we know that it's the best thing ever for a band like ours but we're totally gonna embarrass ourselves ! You know our band practises consist of messing around and pretending to be alright musicians, but we're NOTHING compared to other bands..." Will explained.

"Can you stop whining already? Of course we're not going to win this, not with that attitude! But if we try twice as hard, this might actually work out, I mean, we've got nothing do lose, do we?"

As we finished the first day of our 'two-week-hardcore-crash-course', as I liked to call it, I made my way back to my appartement to have a walk with Stella, pure happiness shaped like a puppy. 

I held up my hand to protect my eyes from the blindingly bright sunshine as I stepped out of the door, being dragged towards to park - Stella's favorite place.

She excitedly romped around in the grass as I sat down against a tree, mentally preparing myself for the upcoming weeks and totally lost in thought.

"WATCH OUT!!!" I heard someone shout right before something hard hit my head. I immediately blacked out.
