Nico hopped on the motorcycle and drove off. So what if he didn't have a license and he was only 14? The Mist is his friend and he needed to get to school. He wasn't allowed to shadow travel and Jules-Albert would take too long, so he decided to do this. He got to school and gave the doctors note to the secretary. He went to class and told the teacher why he was late. (Doctor's appointment)

"Can I die?" He slipped in the empty seat next to Drew. 

"Long day?"

"Definitely. I wanna go home." 

"You just got to school. And anyway, we'll be there soon."

"You forgot about clubs."

"Right." 

Finally, the day passed and it was time for clubs. Today, Nico only had music. All of his clubs were on different days. Music Monday, soccer on Tuesday and Thursday, art on Wednesday and mythology on Friday. Drew looked at him before she left.

"How are you gonna get home?"

"The same ride I took to get here and I know the address."

"Alright. Bye."

"Bye."

Nico walked to the music classroom and noticed that not many people were there. He went to the back and sat down. The teacher came in and pulled out the attendance sheet.

"Di Angelo, Nico?"

"Here."

"Instrument?"

"What is there?" 

"Violin, cello, base, flute, triangle and guitar."

"Violin."

"Do you have your own?"

"Yeah."

"You can leave it in the locker room. Or use one of ours."

"Can I use a school one?"

"Sure." 

She continued roll as Nico zoned out. After a while she started talking about something and Nico decided to listen.

"... we're not only going to play music, we will compose music. Like famous composers and screenwriters, some of us are going to create the melodies and others will play. If you create music, you can choose to play an instrument or only compose the music. If you don't do well, however, you will play an instrument. Also, we're going to do mini contests and huge contests. Multiple people can win the mini contests. The people who constantly win are the ones going to the huge contests since we can't take everyone. The huge ones are between schools and if we do good, we'll go higher. From school v.s school to county v.s county to state v.s state to country v.s country. Some of you will go to a different country later. They people there will have a hard time understanding you so please be patient. If you know the language great. If you don't, it's fine. Most of you won't. We're just here to do our best."

"Next week, you all will have a placement test. You perform and I will make groups based on your performance. The advanced group is gonna be the group that's going to go further. I will shift people around later so don't feel bad if you're a beginner. With practice, you might be able to get to the advanced level. The groups will be based on how you play and how well you work with each other. If you can't make good music with your teammates, you're out. The weeks after, we will be learning about famous musicians, how they composed and interviews. I want everyone to practice at home for the days we do that. I want you to practice everyday, but on those days it's a must unless you wish to go down a level."
