Evie Rock (An UnOrdinary Fanfic)

Part 3: Chocolate Cake and Friends to Make

Evie's PoV

Riiiingg!! The bell rang and my entire English class erupted out of their seats, headed for the exit. There was a reason they were rushing even more than usual...

Because Triple Chocolate Cake would be served at lunch. I sighed sadly. It would be impossible for me to even get within a few meters of the worshipped cake. Even so, if I dared approach that sacred object, it would be taken within an instant by someone stronger.

Packing up my things, I exited the room and smiled. I'll see Seraphina and Roland at lunch!! I'm so glad they were so supportive of my band idea! Cheerfulness bubbled up as I recalled their reactions to my idea.

-
Roland stared at me in shock, before a huge smile popped onto his face. "Evie, that's brilliant!" 

"R-really?" I stuttered, surprised by his reaction. 

"Yeah! I'll definitely join your band, Evie!" Roland exclaimed. I turned to Seraphina.

"Seraphina, what do you think?" I asked. Sera thought for a few seconds before shrugging and giving me a thumbs up.

"I guess I could play the guitar..." She said. 

- 

Dang, the cafeteria is so crowded...

I sweated nervously as I stared at the chaos-filled room. Screaming, shouting, explosions, and arguments packed the cafeteria as a slice of cake went flying into the air and swiped out of the air by Isen, who immediately bolted off. I'm gonna just get some lunch and get as far away as possible from this mess... 

I stepped into the lunch line and picked up a sandwich and an apple. The school food wasn't the best, but it wasn't exactly the worst either. The meat was actual meat, and I knew what I was eating most of the time. Nervously, I moved towards the center of the fighting to get a cookie. 

I can't wait to talk to Seraphina and Roland about the band! I'm really excited to start planning and we have to come up with a name, and it's gonna be so fun practicing--

CRASH!!

Keep your head down. Apologize. Hope you don't get beaten up.

"I'm sorry-!" I tried to yell but was silenced with a few words.

"It's fine, don't worry."

Wait what? 'It's fine'? Who is thi-

I looked up and saw a towering blonde whose intimidating aura was accentuated by his grand 6'3" stature. As always, Holden accompanied him.

"A- Ar- Arlo??" I cried, shocked that the King himself was saying that it was "fine"!! To me!!! A low tier!!!

"Hold up Arlo, this random low tier walks into you and you just brush it off?" Holden exclaimed, also clearly shocked by Arlo's reaction. He grabbed my shoulder, about to lecture me for bumping into Arlo. 

"I already said, it's fine." Arlo replied in a stern tone. Holden huffed and removed his arm. 

I didn't realise what was going on, as my mind was in shambles.

OSMFSAOFAOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFOMSAOFMOPASMFOAMOPFMASMGOAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOMSFAOMAAAAA

Around me, I saw a few students away from the fight. They were looking on in shock, giving me, Arlo and Holden a wide berth. All of them were probably thinking the same thing:"Why did Arlo let that low tier off so easily?"

"Here, I never repaid you for helping with finding Seraphina, did I?" Arlo asked, holding out a national treasure. The Triple Chocolate Cake.

WHA-?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
Ok, breathe. Slow, deep breaths, it's only Arl- cake.

I graciously took the cake, the people around me stunned at the sight. Whispers flew like sparks, each growing more and more suspicious.

"Did Arlo really just give that low tier a slice of cake??"
"He's really getting softer and softer, just like Rei!"
"Did she possess him?"
"Who is she?" 

Arlo ignored all the mutterings and turned to Holden. "Come on, let's go. As for the rest of you," he said, "what are you staring at? Get going!" He walked away with Holden. Holden still had a really confused look on his face, looking back at me constantly and trying to read me as if I had possessed Arlo. 

I noticed Roland, who was looking at the crowd gathering around the lunch line, a look of awe on his face, and Seraphina, who of course was on her phone... Now that I think about it, does she ever get off of it?

I noticed a third person with them. Was that John?

Yeah, there was no mistaking that hair and build. The looks of disgust directed towards him were the final confirmation that yes, it was indeed John. I walked over to them, still a bit light-headed from my unintentional meeting with Arlo. The KinG! ThE KinG!!

John paid little to no attention towards me, he looked at me once and was entranced by the chocolate cake in front of me, his mouth watering at the sight of it and his eyes sparking in envy. I shuddered. There was no predicting what anyone would do to get their hands on a slice of such holy creation. 

"Wha-" He tried to speak, but was cut off by Sera.

"Arlo gave it to her just now, didn't you see?" She said, still on her phone, texting someone.

"Arlo? Is there another Arlo in this school that I don't know of?" He asked, confused.

"Arlo said it was repayment for helping him find Sera-" I squeaked, still light-headed.

John got up, still dazed from the fact that Arlo gave me the chocolate cake. He looked like he remembered something and spoke to me.

"Oh yeah, Sera told me you guys were starting a band?" He looked at me dismissively.

"Yeah! We just formed today!" I replied, eager at the thought that someone already knew who we were.

"Well, I can't play any instruments, but can I help with anything? Like with moving equipment or being the cool roadie dude that follows the band around?" He asked, looking at Sera. I sighed inwardly. It's really obvious he wants to make Sera happy... Then I thought about all the complicated things that came with forming a band.

Equipment, roadies, budget, staff! I didn't think ahead on those factors! How are we gonna get the money for equipment and to pay the staff??

"Uhhhhhh... We can't pay you but-"

"That's fine. I just wanted to help Sera with something once in a while, what with her pretty much teaching me." He answered, as if determined to land the job.

"Well uhh-" I was cut off by Sera.

"Yeah, that's cool, John. Evie," Sera turned to look at me. "Judging by the look on your face, it seems that you haven't bought any equipment or thought of any of the technical things." She said calmly.

"Yeah...." My voice trailed off.

"Well, I can pay for all the stuff we need, but nothing too over the top, alright?" Sera answered, looking back at her phone.

"And I can help with the equipment! I know a bunch on how to wire things together, speakers should be pretty easy right?" Roland interjected, finally out of his daze from looking at the steadily decreasing crowd surrounding the lunch line.

"So! That's that then!" John said, walking off cheerfully.

"Well," Roland began, now fully putting his attention towards me and Sera, "we need a band name now don't we?"

Bruh.
