The Odd Ball -minizerk AU-

After English I had music, meaning Ethan, Tobi and I would be splitting. I knew no one in the class but that didn't really bother me. I was so excited for the class that I could barely even think about all that. All my nerves were gone and pure excitement had taken over me.

When I found the classroom I slowly walked in and looked at everyone else in the room. There were so many different people that it would be hard to describe each and every single one of them. They all had different styles and personalities of their own that truly shined. I felt at home.

I sat down next to a girl who was talking to all of her friends. There weren't many options so I thought this one would be the best.

"Hi, I'm Sarah." She said turning around putting her hand out for me to shake.

"Simon." I said shaking her hand.

She was pure and utter beauty. She had beautiful, light blue eyes and soft brown hair. Her skin was pure and smooth and overall she was absolutely gorgeous.

"Hello everyone and welcome to my class. I'm Mr. Brown and today we will be introducing ourselves to each other. You can talk about anything and everything. So go!" He said as we all laughed and nodded our heads.

"So what music are you into exactly?" Sarah asked as I just shrugged my shoulders.

"I mean, my taste in music listening wise is a lot different then what I like to sing. I mostly listen to like Linkin Park, P Money, Stormzy, Nines and Drake." I said as she nodded.

"Yeah, I mean I don't know. I'm kind of into any kind of music really. I don't have a preference. My music is in all honesty all over the place. I just like to give everything a chance." She said as I nodded agreeing exactly with what she had to say.

"I definitely get that like one hundred percent. It's nice listening to like multiple artist so that you can truly understand and find your own point of view. I guess that's what I'm kind of doing at the moment." I said as she nodded.

"Is this your first year? I've never seen you around before." She asked as I nodded my head.

"Yeah, I really came here to learn more about music and to truly find myself. My dream is to just perform at least once in front of a crowd where it's just me and only me singing one of my own songs." I said as I could tell right away she understood what I was talking about.

"That's the reason I came here too. I've been going for the past three years now and I feel like I've truly found myself as an artist." She said as Mr. B then had us all stop what we were doing so we would focus on what he was about to say.

"I hope you had enough time to meet some people and get a better understanding of the people that are in the class. I also want to point out that all of you are from different years, yes you are all graduating this year but some of you haven't been here as long as others. Sarah is an excellent point of that. She has been here for the last three years, this being her fourth year and has made some excellent work. She actually has made her own music video that her boyfriend, Callum who is a film major, helped direct. I actually wanted to show that off to you all to show what I have planned for you all this year. You all are of excellent range and have been put into this class in exact so that you can create your own music videos and get accepted into universities such as Juliard or even get signed by a contract." When he said that my heart dropped.

To think that my dreams could all come true. To think that this single class can define my future, scared the crap out of me. What if I'm not good enough? What if I don't have the right voice or what if I'm not creative enough? What if they just take me for a joke?

Mr. Brown then started to play one of Sarah's song. The song was titled Caught Up. Just looking at the thumbnail of the video I could tell that it was going to be good.

"So that is just an example of what you all could do. Obviously that took a while for Sarah to make and compose. I want you all to have at least made five music videos and at least four to five songs to go with each of them. Meaning you should have twenty five or more songs by the end of the year," he said as the bell rung, "I can already tell this is going to be a good year. I'll see you all tomorrow, ready to compose your own music."

My stomach dropped thinking about this all. Why was I put into this class? Am I actually that good?

"Hey, what's with that worried look all over your face. You'll do amazing. I promise. I'll help you out, okay?" She said as I smiled and nodded my head.

Maybe it won't be that bad.
