Adventure Bay High

The Assignment

What a coincidence that all seven friends are in the same music class! It wouldn't happen, but it saves time writing the plot ;)

Anyway...

'You must work in a group and compose a song during the two week holidays...'

Everybody groaned. Who wants homework on a holiday?

'And I have high expectations. I'm sure you will do me proud.'

The bell rang and everyone ran out. Marshall and Chase sprinted to the music room. The others soon followed.

'This is gonna be so awesome!' said Zuma. 'We awe so gonna win this!'

'I suppose we have a high chance...' said Rocky.

'A HIGH CHANCE?! WE HAVE SOME OF THE MOST TAWENTED MUSICIANS IN OUW FWRIENDSHIP GWOUP! WE AWE SO GONNA WIN THIS!'

'Calm down Zuma.'

'Sowwy Chase. I guess I'm a little ovewcompetitve...'

'A little?' Everyone else exclaimed.

'Zuma is right though. We will win this. I already have some lyrics I wrote a few days ago...'

Everyone scrambled to Rubble, who had a sheet inscribed with ink.

'Youw handwiting is vewy neat.'

'Thanks.'

Chase read out the lyrics written on the page.

(I'm not going to because they will appear later.)

Everyone sat back in awe after hearing the lyrics.

'Those are great, Rubble,' said Skye. 'Now we just need the melody...'

Everyone was quiet as Rocky played a riff on a guitar nearby. His fingers skimmed the strings so quickly, allowing beautiful notes to escape. Zuma ran to the drum set in the corner and started a beat. Marshall played chords on the keyboard, turning them into arpeggios. Everest and Skye started to hum experimentally.

'Now try sing it.' Chase gave the paper to them to share.

(This is Put The Kettle On by Lucy Spraggan ft. Scouting For Girls)

Everest:   I know some days are hard
But I know how strong you are
Skye:   The front door's open if you're broken
Let's talk the night away
Sometimes we get it wrong, stick the kettle on

Chase:   I spend my nights alone
I keep these doors closed
Marshall:  And it don't help me when they tell me
That I should just man up
Some days we get it wrong, stick the kettle on

Everest, Skye, Marshall and Chase:  And if you're low
You're not alone
I hope you know
Sometimes we get it wrong
Stick the kettle on

Zuma:  I find it hard to sleep
Rocky: I lost my self belief
Zuma and Rocky: I didn't mean to but I seem to
Have ended up so lost
Sometimes we get it wrong, stick the kettle on

Everest, Skye, Chase, Marshall, Rocky and Zuma:  And if you're low
You're not alone
I hope you know
Sometimes you get it wrong
Stick the kettle on

Rubble:  It's seems forever, can't remember
When I last heard you laugh

All:  And if you're low
You're not alone
I hope you know
Sometimes you get it wrong and we come undone
Sometimes you get it wrong but I won't be long
Sometimes we get it wrong, stick the kettle on

'We've done it!'

'That was so good!'

'That was easier than I thought!'

'Can we make a music video?'

Everyone looked at Zuma with a gleam in their eyes.

'Yes!'

'Get in! I can use the camera on my new phone. It is peng...'

Rocky smiled at his friend with slang. It was like a new language to him.

'I'll just stick with English...'

'Did you say something Wocky?'

'Uh...no!'
