"Earth to Marcoooo~" A small pale hand was waved in front of the raven haired teen, snapping him out of his music trance.
"Oh, sorry, Sasha. I wasn't listening," Marco smiled nervously. One earphone in, the other tucked under his yellow t shirt. A white wire led down his green hoodie and into the pockets of his black jeans to connect to his pink I-Pod. Yes, I-Pods are old and pink is a strange colour for him to have but Marco wasn't the type to go with the flow of society. He was his own man!
"No wonder, you always have music blasting into one ear," Sasha huffed as she sat back down next to the very blonde Armin who currently had his face in a book. "Anyway, we were saying about the new Titans album coming out," This had gotten Marco's attention easily. He was a fan of- no, fan would be an understatement. He was an enthusiast of The Titans. He loved ALL of their music, no joke.
The band was made up of 4 teenagers, K, A, J and S. No one knew their real names but everyone knew that they were ridiculously talented. J, the drummer, could do any beat, slow or fast, and it was absolutely perfect first go. The bass player, S, could move his hands so fast, it was mesmerising. The keyboardist/guitarist, A, was so beautiful, she could play most instruments and flawlessly at that. She also did backing vocals sometimes too, her voice was so soft, it could pull sailors to the sea. Okay, maybe not the best example but you get the idea. Marco's favourite, however, was the lead singer and lead guitarist, K. His voice could go from low to high in a split second. He wrote most of the songs for the band and could play the guitar whilst singing to smoothly. He was also, no shame to admit, SUPER attractive. You didn't really get good views of him in photos or anything and the band didn't do music videos but what the fans DID know was that he had light hair, undercut and slicked back when performing, amber eyes and sharp features like a pointed nose and a defined jawline. That along with a slim body was absolute bliss to look at- wait no, that sounds weird. you get the picture.Basically, the band was good, made up of 17 year olds and growing in popularity.
"New album? They only just released a single last week, there can't be an album already," Marco said, slowly eating his -kind of disgusting - burger from the school cafeteria.
"Uh uh!" Sasha protested, mouth full of chicken wings. "K announced it yesterday on twitter! The album is being released in like 2 days. What was it called... The..." She thought hard to remember the name, fingers twisting in her brown pony tail.
"The Fall of Maria." Armin suddenly spoke up, closing his book and pushing it to the side, out of the danger of Sasha's BBQ sauce. "The album is The Fall of Maria."
"Since when do you listen to The Titans?" Marco asked, putting his burger down and wiping his hands.
"Since you got into them. You always go on about them so I checked them out."
"Who is your fave?" Sasha asked, grinning. "K? S? J? Not A, your gay is too strong for her."
"Hey! I'm bi, I can like her too." Armin crossed his arms in defence. "I do like the drummer though..." He said, looking down and blushing.
"Ooo so J finally has a fan!"
Marco laughed at his friends, he was glad they liked the band too, it meant he had someone to share his obsession with.
"So anyway, back to the album."
"Yes, before you ask. I'll get it the day it releases." Marco said dismissively. "I always do."
"That's the thing!" Sasha chimed, eyes brightening and arms stretching out to clasp her hands around Marco's. "K said they're doing a special performance!"
"Huh?" This had Marco intrigued. The Titans had performed before but that was in Maria, Marco lived in Rose, and the performances had only been small things like background noise for clubs or something. Nothing for them to actually sell tickets.
"Yeah! They are performing at a small club with only limited tickets! Titans up close!" She carried on fangirling, slowly calming down.
"yeah but Sash, they're from Maria, that ages away. You know I don't have my licence." Marco pointed out, slightly disheartened.
"Another thing my dear friend. Listen to me because I will wipe that sad look right off your pretty little freckled face."
Marco looked at her through sad brown eyes.
"They're moving to Rose." She smiled smugly.
"WHAT!?" Marco practically screamed. He got a few looks from people on the surrounding cafeteria tables but no one threw anything at him for once.
"Yuh huh, K said that's why they are releasing an album called The Fall of Maria. The band agreed that they didn't like how the city was changing. Something about the society." She let go of Marco's hand. "And so, their first performance will be in Rose, where you pretty little Marco lives."
Marco was speechless. He'd loved this band since they started (which was very long ago but shhh) and had the chance to see them live.
