Duet

Chapter One

"Welcome back from summer break. I'm sure you're all so excited to be here," Mrs. Johnston exclaims. Psh, yeah right? School?

"This is your musical concept class. I know we'll have so much fun this year. Let's start out with attendance.... Jared Ackens?"

"Here." I drone out until I here my name, "Elliott Baker?"

"Please Mrs. Johnston, it's Elli." The first day of school is pretty pointless, you just go over rules and find out what you'll be "learning" that year.

"Mr.Danny Powers why are you late to class?," Mrs. Johnston asks.

"Well if you must to know, I was "snogging" the new English foreign exchange student," Danny says smugly. Mrs. Johnston's face paled and Danny got a few wolf whistles from his friends. God, why did he had to be in my class? He had to ruin my favorite class. I hate him and his insufferable music. Of course with his band, the Weekenders on a rise, all the girls want him even more. Ugh, it disgusts me. His band isn't the only one on a rise though, my band Millennium Hiatus, is becoming the Green Day of our generation.

"Danny, please take your seat next to Elli." You've got to be kidding me. He walks over and sits down next to me.

"Hello sweet Elli," he whispers. "You know Elli is a nice name.... Too bad you listen to that rock music," he shakes his head. "So much screaming."

"It's better than you and your eight year old girl music," I challenge back. He gasps.

"That's mean! Go head-bang into a wall!"

Tonight we had a gig at a local pizza shop, Mr.G's. We were totally going to blow the roof off of that place!

"Okay you guys, let's tune," our lead guitarist Ryder suggests. We play through a simple scale.

At around 6:30 a crowd starts forming. I walk up to the mic,
"Hello, we would like to thank you all for coming out tonight. I hope you enjoy the music and your pizza," I smile. Then, four people walk into Mr.G's from outside. My eyes narrow on one. Danny. Great.

"We're starting out tonight with Na Na Na by My Chemical Romance."
We finished our show at around 7:45. It went really well, except Danny kept looking at me and chuckling. He. Drives. Me. Crazy. Once we came off the stage he came over to me.

"You're pretty good... For being emo"

"You guys are good too... If Justin Bieber was an almighty God."
Surprisingly, he bursts out laughing.

"That was a good one," he exclaims trying to catch his breath.

"Thanks," I chuckle. My eyes go wide. "Did we just laugh at the same thing... Together?"

"Oh my god, that's never happened before...," he whispers in realization.

"Yeah," I say before turning to leave. I feel a hand on my shoulder.

"Hey, maybe we can actually become friends one day."

"Maybe frenemies pop boy," I call back to Danny.
