Just A Voice

One|| Acceptance

~Brooklyn's POV~

I wake up to the annoying song playing from my phone. my alarm. the song is 'Talk Dirty' by Jason Derulo, I love it but it wakes me up so, I hate it. I turn off my alarm and sit up, I kick the sheets off my body and stumble over to my bathroom. I lean over the basin and splash water onto my face to wake me up. I brush my teach, braid my hair in two and walk back out into the main area of my bedroom.  I put on my clean underwear and bike shorts before grabbing by school uniform off the hanger. a maroon, white and some other colour flannel-like patter dress with buttons down the front. I got the dress second hand, it fits my upper-half perfectly but only reaches just below mid-thigh, too short for my liking.

I shove my laptop and books back in my school bag and swing it over my shoulder before heading downstairs. Mum and Dad have already gone to work so it's Brayden and me here, like every morning. I pack my food and drink in the other pocket and grab a pre-made fruit salad with yoghurt for breakfast.

"Morning," I say to Brayden as he places his bag on the bench.

"Morning" he replies, proceeding to pack his bag for school. "I have a meeting after football so I'll be home late" he informs

"I have choir tonight so it's cool," I say with a shrug.

"which one?" he asks

"the choir, the big one with no band" I reply, he nods also eating his fruit salad. "you don't know which one it is, do you?" I ask

"no, not at all" he shakes at him, I giggle and rinse out my dish, Brayden doing the same after. just like every morning, we start walking to school together, he branches off to meet Isaac and Chance and I meet Rani further down the path.

"we still up for practice at lunch?" she asks me

"yea, I've booked studio B for us" I inform

"okay good, I forgot to ask about that"

"that's why you have me" we giggle and continue to talk about the most random things as we have down the sidewalk. we walk through the school gates, people scattered around in their group's perusal. we make it to our lockers, I open my top-locker emptying my bag and leaving my things for the first three classes in front.

Rani and I wait by out homeroom without books talking.  the bell rings signifying Homeroom is now and school has started, keeping an eye out for the teacher, I notice James rush to his locker. I giggle walking up to him as he shoves his books in his locker. "what's your excuse this time?" I ask

"almost slept in too long" he replies

"well you not late, that's good" I state, he looks to the side and sends me a smile, I return it. "see you around" I walk away and into the class with Rani, we sit at our table in the left front corner of the classroom.

I walk into the music building, Rani had to use the bathroom so I was alone at the moment. in the foyer I notice James and the other member of rockband talk to Mr Hards, the conductor of rock band. "we sounded better with a female vocalist" I hear James say, I non-constantly slow down my pace.

"I know but she left the school and we have a vocalist right here" Mr Hards motions towards the younger boy, he looks to be in grade nine.

"even I think we need a female vocalist" he informs

"surely there is someone in the school that could take her place" that voice was deep and husky, I never head it before and have no clue as it who it belongs to. before i could hear any more of their conversation, I reach studio B and enter taking a seat on the piano stool waiting for Rani.

I stare out the window getting lost in my imagination, being taken for reality. I hear the door creak open and I am brought back to my senses when Rani asks "you ready Brook?" I turn around and nod, she sits on the chair near the table.

~.~

"Brooklyn" I hear my name be called before I can walk into the music suite for the choir. I nod for Rani to go inside and turn around to hind Mr Hards.

"yes, Mr Hards," I say with a smile approaching him

"as you probably know, the female vocalist in Rockband has left the school. the boys have claimed it's not the same without a female voice and that we should try and find someone to take her place" he informs

"it makes sense, being used to having that female voice there" I say understanding

"James suggested we ask you. so, would you be interested in joining Rockband for the rest of the year?" he asks me

"of course, I would love to" I accept his offer with a smile

"that's great, I'll see you in practice tomorrow after school" he turns around and walks into the office. I turn on my heel and head into the music suit, I take my drink bottle and music out of my bag before walking up the stars and taking my seat next to Rani.

"what was that about?" she whispers to me

"i'm apart of Rockband now, James suggested me to replace the girl that left" I inform

"you and that boy are so cute, you really care about him" she smiles at me

"it started with friendly competition, James is a sweet boy and I like to help him" I state, she giggles and we turn our attention to the conductor of the choir.
