The Love Song Project |Completed|

Replacements.

HEY! I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a while and its almost been a whole WEEK! I can't believe it. I think the problem is school oml. I know I promised 2 chapters for today but it might be just one and then another tomorrow. Idk, we'll see what happens.

~Summer~

It's been 3 days since Bradley joined our class and nobody but Mr. Finn has spoken to him. Tomika told the rest of the class what happened so we are all on her side. I can't help but feel like he is telling someone about the band. Why would you give someone your trust so easily? I mean he is  NEW STUDENT for god's sake!  

Meanwhile, I'm still not on good terms with Freddy. Our date the other day was a bit dramatic but the fact that he didn't do anything to save our relationship just hurts me. I guess Fremmer and Zamika will just have to wait... or was never meant to be? Whatever.

I am currently sitting in class "listening" to Mr. Finn try to "teach" us. I'm really getting tired of this band thing. If I don't get an education, I'll end up on the streets! I can't let that happen. I am so behind the kids in the other classes. 3 years of learning from a teacher who can't teach? That's not very good.

Mr. Finn finally finishes and arrange our classroom in such a way as we did for 3 years. "Okay guys, so today I finally decided we need to get Bradley a place in the band." He suggested and I just shrugged. As the band manager, I have control over who plays and who doesn't but I don't care about the turd who kidnapped my bestfriend.

"I'm a pro at electric guitar but I also play piano. I'm still a beginner on piano though." He said I could just see Zack stiffen and glare at him. "Well, Zack is our electric guitarist and he's a pro. And we have a pro pianist who has been playing since he was 11 months old, Lawrence. So there is no place for you so you can just stand in the band like the others do." I said proudly and he shrugged.

"First of all, your parents are pushing you way to hard, bud." He said to Lawrence. "Second, I bet I could play electric guitar better than him." He said proudly. "We will have to see about that." Mr. Finn said. "Zack take off your guitar please." Mr. Finn said and Zack frowned as he removed his guitar from his shoulder and handed it to him. 

Mr. Finn gave the guitar to Bradley and he started playing an awesome song. Sure, he was good but I don't want to replace Zack. "That was sweet!" Tomika said in awe and Zack glared at her. "I mean, pshh Zack is better." She said and smile an awkward smile at Zack who just frowned. 

"I think we just found our new electric guitarist!" Mr. Finn said and high fived Bradley. "W-what about me?" Zack asked with tears in his eyes. "Yeah... about that, you can just sit in the back. I don't know.. do something?" Mr. Finn shrugged and a tear fell on to Zack's uniform. "I guess." He said and angrily walked to the back of the class.

"Woah, woah, woah! I'm not playing without Zack!" Tomika said angrily. "Umm, yes you will, you're our singer!" Mr. Finn said. "And he is our guitarist!" Tomika yelled and handed me her bass as she angrily walked out the classroom. "Summer." Mr. Finn turned to me. "Persimmons." He said and I walked up to the mic and started singing. I hate when Mr. Finn hypnotizes me to sing. It's embarrassing that I can't even sing without being hypnotized.

While I was singing I glanced over to Zack who was sitting on the floor against the wall... crying? Zack never cries. At least I've never seen him cry. About a minute later Tomika came back in through the back door and sat next to Zack on the floor.

They looked like they were having a really deep conversation but its not my business. All of the sudden my voice cracked and my real singing voice came out. Everyone cringed and covered their ears. I can't believe it! This is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me! I burst into tears and ran out of the classroom.

~Tomika~

I just left the classroom because I honestly can't deal with Mr. Finn right now. He is being so unfair to Zack! If Zack is out of the band, I am too. Not because I still like him, its because he was my partner in the band. We were the ones who wrote our band's original songs. We were right next to each other in the band. He is the only one who can help me when I can't get a note right or am struggling with a song. We were the guitarist. I can't do that with Bradley. I just can't.

I ran to the girls bathroom and just started at myself in the mirror for the longest time. Mr. Finn probably doesn't care about me leaving. He'll just play my part of the bass and hypnotize Summer to sing. If she really cared about Zack, she wouldn't have stayed. Same for Freddy and Lawrence. 

I left the bathroom and started heading back to the classroom. I went through the back door because It was closet to where Zack was. I opened the door and sat next to Zack. He looked at me with tears streaming down his face. 

"Zack! I'm so sorry about everything Mr. Finn did!" I hugged him and he cried into my shoulder. "Don't be sorry. I'm not as good as Bradley at the guitar. I deserve to be replaced." He dried his tears and I almost slapped him. 'Are you fucking hearing yourself? You are the best electric guitarist I have ever met! Bradley is the one who doesn't deserve to be in that position of this band." I reassured him and he shook his head. "Go play Tomika. Don't cry for me. We'll always be friends or whatever. But I can't be in this class and watch HIM play." He said and got up.

I pulled him back down and pulled him into a kiss. I don't care if we're together or not. That felt good.  "You're not going anywhere You belong in this class." I said and he smirked. "Does this mean we're together again?" He asked and I looked down. "I guess not. I don't know why you hate me so much now. I love you but you don't want to be with me anymore. I just don't get it Tomika, why?" He made me face him and cupped my cheek. "Zack..." I started to say until I saw him awkwardly glance to the front of the classroom.

The music had stopped and we didn't even notice. Everybody was staring at us listening to our conversation. "Can you not?" I barked at them but they didn't listen. "Zack, Tomika, If you're going to bring your relationship problems here then you can leave." Mr. Finn said and he got up and sat in out desk which they had already arranged. Again, how did I not notice. 

"Oh I'm sorry I just found your nose in my business. I think you need to mind your own because this is between Zack and I." I slouched in my chair and Zack just buried his head into his arms on the desk. "So... Anyway. Bradley and Tomika you have a love song to write together. I will not take no for an answer or you will fail." He said looking at me. "Whatever." I said and the bell rang. Now I have to work on a LOVE SONG with Bradley. I liked when I wrote it with Zack better.

At lunch Zack and I sat alone at a table. Summer seems to still be with the band so I haven't spoken to her. Either you're with Zack or not. After school Summer came up to me and I tried my best to ignore her but it didn't work

"Hey Tomika!" She said happily. " Don't 'hey' me." I said angrily. " Okay... Tomiks. You wouldn't believe what Mr. Finn did to me today!" She said and I just rolled my eyes. "What? Cause I bet he hurt someone else a bit more." I sighed. "He hypnotized me to sing and while I was singing, my voice cracked and it went to my horrible voice and then I ran out of the class room crying." She ranted. 

"Oh. You wanna know what he did to ZACK!? yeah, he kicked him out of the band. And replaced him with WHO!? Bradley the Bitch!" I said overly enthusiastic to make her see my point. "About that, why did you guys kiss?" She asked and I rolled my eyes. "Really? That's all you care about. The guy was crying! It was the only way to cheer him up because he still likes me but that's a conversation for another time.  He lost the only thing that makes him happy. He was hurting like hell and all you care about is the fact that I kissed him! Yeah what a good friend you are!" I said walked away from her.

I just wanted to go home but I forgot I had Bradley coming over to write a song with me. Ugh, I hate my life. He walked up to me and hugged me but I pushed him away. "Don't touch me." I said and glared at him. "Come on... I have before." He said and I cringed. "Oh lord! Lets just write this song so I can be done with you. And don't get any Ideas!" I said and we walked home is silence. I hate my life.

I hope you liked this chapter. Sorry,it was meant to be MUCH longer but its 10:47 and I got school tomorrow so I gotta go to bed! I'll update tomorrow!

Bye Loves.
