The Band Geek | ✔️ by worldsofella

"We shouldn't do this-- I'm leaving in a few months." "What better time to start than now." "I thought I was just a music nerd to you." "You're not a 'music nerd...' you're a band geek. My band geek." --------------------------------- Hudson Diamante is the son and heir of KD Tech, a worldwide technology company. His parents decide to home a transfer student for publicity. Alannah Parker is a girl from the UK, transferring because she's considered a musical prodigy. She has an checkered past, not letting it show by covering it with a bright smile and happy attitude. Hudson isn't too fond of this transfer student. Before he even met her, he would call her a 'band geek.' He doesn't need any distractions, and needs to focus on his school work. Imagine his shock when he realizes this 'band geek' is prettier than most girls at his school. Once Alannah arrives in sunny Los Angeles, she is attracted to Hudson, but she doesn't need another guy like him in her life. She is there for one and one reason only-- to get away. She has a gift, one which she uses to escape. Escape her life, her sadness, her problems. Once drowned in music, she drops her facade of happiness.

You and Me (Plus Everyone In Between Us) by esosazuwawrites

17-almost-18-year-old Ezra Thompson is tired of two things. First, is constant chatter about Dilemma, an all-boy rock band, led by the supposedly-dreamy frontman Andre Robinson that somehow has a universal grip on every teenager in the world. Personally, Ezra doesn't see the appeal. Second, being in the shadow of her more smart, successful, and popular twin brother Emmet. Ezra couldn't ask for a better life. The thing is, Ezra, can sing. Like really sing. Only her parents who are occasionally proud of her, treat it as a juvenile hobby and she could never sing in front of people. So for now, her shampoo bottles get front-row access to her once-a-night concert in the shower. But when Ezra's younger sister, Maria, signs her up for a singing reality show called Finding Solstice, she is both angry and grateful.

As if that wasn't enough, Ezra finds herself suddenly encountering a pretentious rockstar and is unexpectedly drawn to him.

The pressure is on, and Ezra is torn between her passion for music and the fear of being dragged down. The stakes are high, and people are unforgiving, but Ezra knows that her music is worth fighting for. With her future on the line, she must navigate the twists and turns of the music industry and stay focused on what really matters: her music and her dreams.
