Chapter 6- Meet the Band

Alex’s POV

I came to school earlier than anyone else, I went to the registrar’s office to get my schedule and when I got out the office I saw the most radiating woman I had ever seen. I approached her and asked her where room 305 is.

“Uhm” Was the only thing she said. She has blue eyes which reminds me of the sky or the ocean. Her dimples showed when she bit her lower lip, she looks like she was having an internal argument which was in a weird way cute and sexy at the same time I had been staring at her for a long time she might think I'm weird so even though I don't want to I had to leave.

“Are you okay? It’s okay if you don’t know I can just go ask someone else. Thank you.” I said she doesn’t look like she will reply anytime soon so I just left and asked another person who showed it to me.

I sat at the last row where the window is located I looked outside to be greeted by a forest. You would think that there won’t be forest here but you are wrong. It is mostly forest, when I was on my way to school I drove by a large building surrounded by trees which I’m guessing is a condominium.

The city where my parents work is about 45 minutes away from where we live which is great because I hate noise at least our place is peaceful.

I looked at the door to see who just arrived and I saw the girl from a while ago. She sat at the back and another girl came and kissed her. Must be her girlfriend I guessed I looked at them and they are now in a full make out session. Damn don’t they know there in public? I commented on my brain I don’t know why I feel this little pang of jealousy I just rolled my eyes at the idea that I am jealous because that is just plain ridiculous so I did the next best thing, I turned and faced the board away from the kissing couple. I just don’t know what or why but the blue eyed girl is oozing with a mysterious aura that is pulling me towards her. When I saw them kiss I felt a tug in my stomach making me nauseated.

The professor came and we started our lessons for the day so far the lessons were interesting for me but for you it will be boring. The bell rang indicating it’s time for lunch, so far all my classes were the same with the girl from this morning, and her name was Vanessa according to her girlfriend Abigail.

I went to the cafeteria and saw a typical stereotype in high schools.

Jocks and cheerleaders in one table which includes the Vanessa and her girl. Nerds are at the corner reading books rather than eating.

And you know the rest I looked for an empty table and found one at the corner. I sat down and started wolfing on my burger and fries. I was in the middle of eating when a guy wearing a black leather jacket tattered black jeans and black boots sat in front of me.

I looked at him with the burger in my hands connected with my mouth in the middle of biting it off. My eyes grew in realization that I am embarrassing myself!

I put down my burger and looked at him.

“I’m sorry is this your table? It was empty a while ago and I assumed no one uses it so I sat down. I’m going sorry.” I said and started fixing my things.

“It’s alright sit. Enjoy your food and your right my friends and I do eat here as you can see they have a stereotype going around my bandmates will be here anytime now.” He explained looking at his watch

“You’re in a band?!” I said rather too loudly

He chuckled “Yeah, I’m the vocalist as well as the lead guitarist” He said.

“Wow. I wish I can hear you sing next time.”

“Well you will soon every school event they call us to play so you’ll hear us soon”

“Really?! You must be good considering the school lets you play all the time.” I said.

“Well maybe. I’m sorry this is rude of me. My name is Nick.”

“Sorry as well I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Alexandra you can call me Alex” I replied.

Soon later three guys and a girl came and sat with us.

“So these are my band mates. This is Drake our drummer, Blake is his twin brother he plays the keyboard or piano, Mike is our Base guitarist and lastly Veronica is our female lead vocalist she also plays guitar she is Mike’s girlfriend as well. Guys this is Alex she is new here.” Nick introduced us.

“So where are you from?” Veronica asked.

“New Jersey. I just moved here with my parents.”

“Cool place!” Drake exclaimed.

“You know the place? Have you been there?” I asked hoping he would say yes so that I have someone to talk about with the place.

“No” He said flatly making wonder what his deal is.

“Then why did you say cool place like you’ve been there?” I asked curiously.

“Well it sound like it’s a New Jersey and as you can see by my clothes I love jerseys.” He exclaimed

I looked at him and he is right he is wearing a jersey with a number 14 at the back, but his explanation made me think whether or not he was joking.

“Dumb ass” Veronica deadpanned and hit Drake at the back of his head with her palm.

“Ow” He said as he glared at her while he scratched his head making us laugh.

“Besides the band what else do you guys do? I asked looking at them.

“Oh we are also in the school’s baseball team.” Nick said in an "as a matter of fact" kinda way.

“Baseball? Seriously?! I asked in amazement but came out like I was longing for something.

“You play?” Nick asked

“Uhm I used to but I stopped.” I said.

“Are you any good?” Mike asked.

“Well not that good but good enough.” I said casually.

I can see they want more information about me playing baseball but I don’t want to talk about it so I turned to Veronica.

“Roni how about you? Do you play any sports?” I asked

“No. I’m too healthy for sports” She said

Mike choked on his food trying not to laugh Nick and Blake tried not to laugh making their face turn red.

“To healthy my ass. You can’t even go to the 3rd floor without huffing and puffing like a dehydrated pig!” Drake said as matter of fact kinda way while he drank his coke.

That comment alone got him a smack at the back of his head making him choke on his coke. The rest of the gang including me laughed our asses of.

“I don’t huff and puff like a pig you idiot. I just don’t like stairs!’’ Roni defended herself rolling her eyes at the guy.

We started laughing again and I looked at the jock’s table and saw Vanessa looking at me intently that alone gave me shivers down my spine. I could swear she had blue eyes this morning why the hell are they black now? I looked at her weirdly but our staring contest is starting to get to me so I decided to get my attention back to the band.

The rest of the day was fine Vanessa was in all my classes so was the band I just didn’t notice them this morning because they didn’t attend because they were called by the principal for a little meeting for their gig.
