From underdogs to top dogs

Chapter 27

"Class, today we have a new student joining our tutor group. This is Sweetie McNally." Mr Larksmith introduced a white haired girl to his form tutor.

Chase, Marshall and Tracker looked forward from their table and Tracker's jaw dropped, making the others snigger.

"Sweetie why don't you take a seat...ah! Next to Tracker over there." The boy could've sworn his heart was going to burst through his chest at any second. The girl smiled and sat with the boys and introduced herself.

"Tracker? Tracker? Tracker!" Chase snapped his fingers in front of his face, finally gaining his attention.

"Hm Sorry. What?"

"Sweetie was introducing herself and you were sat there gawping like a goldfish." Marshall laughed.

"Was not."

"Were too." The black haired boy raised his eyebrows and smirked.

"Anyway what classes do you have?"

"I'm not really sure, the codes are a wee bit confusing." She pushed her timetable over. "And I need to find my locker."

"Oh you're Scottish. I wondered where your accent was from." Marshall snapped his fingers.

"Yeah. I've lived there for most of my life so Adventure Bay is different but I like it."

"You're in our music class. Which is first period and I'm sure your locker is next to Tracker's." Chase smiled.

"Mi amigos. Why doesn't Sweetie join the band?" Tracker said almost a little too happily.

"That sounds fun, if you guys don't mind."

"Not at all. Today me and Skye have to perform an original song as that was our task this week but sure you can join us." Chase smiled.

The bell rang, signalling the move to class and as Chase had expected, Skye was sat with her guitar waiting for him.

"We're allowed to film for our channel, I asked already." She smiled, greeting Chase with a hug.

"Okay." After setting up the camera and waiting for everyone else to perform, it was Chase and Skye's turn. The blonde looked at her book and followed the notes she'd written and nodded, giving Chase his cue.

Chase: I'll be lost inside my head, bad thoughts 'till four am then I'll try to sleep. And I can't tell anyone, I'm so scared they'll get up and run so I don't speak. And oh, I miss when we were younger. The days were so much funner. Weren't they?

Chase and Skye: Oh, I book a new appointment. It's another disappointment. They're all the same, same, same

When the doctor says I'm fine
One at morning, one at night
These pills will help you remember how to smile
But what does he know?
'Cause I feel so alone
And you  mom will always tell me I'm alright
'Cause the doctor said you're fine

Skye: My own mind can lie to me, they all say it's anxiety. But I just think it's me. Now I've lost so many years, my pillow's a tissue for my tears. But you never see. And now, I can't even eat my dinner, Mom says I'm getting thinner. Am I?

Chase and Skye: Oh, I book a new appointment. Yet another disappointment. They're all the same, same, same

When the doctor says I'm fine
One at morning, one at night
These pill will help you remember how to smile
But what does he know?
'Cause I feel so alone
And my mom will always tell me I'm alright
'Cause the doctor said you're fine

Skye: But he don't care about me
Chase: He'll just go home to his family. Why does no one see?
Skye:I'm not the girl I wish that I could be

Chase and Skye: 'Cause the doctor said I'm fine
One at morning, one at night
These pill will help you remember how to smile
But what does he know?
'Cause I feel so alone
And my mom will always tell me I'm alright
'Cause the doctor said you're fine
