Band Academy

Jonathan

My next class was Science with Funny Man. I found it funny how Funny Man was teaching Science. I sat as far away from Diana as I could. God was she annoying. Did she have every single damn class with me?

I didn't see anyone I knew so I sat next to my cousin, Sara. 

"Fucking kill me, Sara," I said.

"First off, I'll leave your ass alive to suffer, second off, why?" She asked.

I looked at Diana. "That's the reason. She has every single fucking class as I. It's annoying. Please help."

"Ooh, honey. I can't help you. Diana runs the school. She's the most popular and a mega bitch. I don't wanna ruin my reputation."

"Gee thanks." 

She giggled. "Anytime. I love you, cuz."

"Yeah. Whatever." Class went on and waited every painful moment for the day to be over.

It was finally Lunch and I was starving. What lunch we had depended on our last name. A-M had A Lunch and N-Z had B Lunch. I was stuck with Diana. 

I got my food and sat with Twilight. Yesterday, it didn't matter what lunch we went to but today it did. 

"Hey, Twilight. I need to get away from Diana, so I'm sitting with you," I said. 

"Okie Dokey. Cecilia, this is Jonathan. Jonathan, this is Cecilia," Twilight said.

"Hi. Nice to meet you," Cecilia said, quietly. Another shy one.

We all sat together and ate. They talked and I just sat in silence until another girl joined us. She had black and blue hair and sorta looked emo. She was Cecilia's cousin. The three of them talked and I stayed silent.

Next Class! Finally! I had choir with Heidi Shepherd. I sat with Sara, Cecilia and Sara's friend Luna. She was so gorgeous. I think I'm in love. I sat right next to her and she sorta looked uncomfortable. Sara didn't look too happy.

We were to decide what vocal group we were to be in (Soprano, Alto, Bass, Tenor, etc.) Ms. Shepherd called in people to do warm ups and scales and whatnot. Luna went and that gave Sara time to talk to me. 

"Stay the fuck away from here," she said. "Her life is fucked up enough. The last thing she needs is you fucking it up more. Stay away. I'm warning you."

"I find it funny how you tell me to make new friends and shit yet you're telling me to stay away from your fucking friend!" I probably raised my voice a little too loud but I was angry.

"You know what, Jonathan? Fuck you!" 

I was standing at this point. I kicked my chair against the wall and walked out. Everyone stared at me but I didn't care.

I was sent to the Principal's office. He sorta scared me. Probably because he was Marilyn Manson. He's a pretty scary dude as it is. 

"You wanna explain what happened?" he asked me. 

"I got angry and kicked a chair and walked out. I'm sorry sir," I said. 

"And why did you do that?"

"I got angry. I had a fight with my cousin and I didn't handle the situation well. I'm sorry sir."

"This school was built for bright and talented students. I don't wanna hear about this again. Do you hear me?"

I nodded. "Yes, sir. Won't happen again."

"Good. I'll let you off with a warning. Don't do this again. Now get out of my office." 

I nodded and went to my next class. I had to go to Ms. Shepherd's class during lunch the next day. I didn't have anything else better to do. I didn't have many friends to hang out with. Just Sara and her friends. I didn't mind them, but I needed some friends of my own. I had Twilight, but I barely knew her.

I sighed and walked into my next class. I had history with Mr. Radke. He was my homeroom teacher. I didn't see anyone I knew so I sat in the far corner of the class away from Diana. I could tell she liked being in the front so I always chose the back.

Mr. Radke was lecturing us about the history of his band so I put in my headphones and put my head on the desk.

A few minutes later, there was a muffled noise and something hit my head. I pulled out my headphones and lifted my head up.

"Mr. Stewart, keep your head up while I'm speaking. Save nap time for after school please. Everyone laughed.  Diana turned around and snickered. She whispered something in the ear of the girl sitting next to her. They both giggled. At this point I didn't care.
