A Weasel Beginning
Disclaimer: I don't own I'm in the band
Ch.1: Ello there?
The year was 1981 in Los Angeles at East Valley high school where this all began. The sun was shining and a slight breeze blew from the west, just another ordinary day. But that would soon change. For today was the day, famous rock band Iron Weasel met. But not as the adults they now are, but as 15 year old teenagers…
"Ashley, Ashley!" a chubby boy with long blond curly hair and bright blue eyes called running down the hall. Just a few lockers away another boy with short black hair and bright green eyes turned around hearing his name.
When the chubby boy stopped at his friend's locker smiling and panting. The boy named 'Ashley' frowned at him.
"Bro, I told you not to say my name out loud like that." He reminded. His friend chuckled.
"Right sorry dude, but you gotta hear this!" his friend exclaimed still panting. Ashley smiled warmly and nodded.
"What Rich?" he asked.
"Look what I learned in geography class." Rich said smiling confidently.
He planted his feet firmly on the glossy white waxed floor. He held his breath as Ashley looked at him curiously.
"Sacramento!" he burped so loudly that it sent his friend a couple steps back. Ashley looked at him astonished, his eyes widened.
"Aw that was awesome bro!" he praised.
The friends quickly high fived, and started to laugh. They stopped when they heard girls close by started to shriek and giggle. Ashley raised a brow.
"What are they giggling about?" he asked out loud. Rich gave a small frightened look.
"I don't know. Girls are weird!" he said frightened. Ashley couldn't help but chuckle at that. He opened his locker door and motioned for Rich to stand behind it so they could hear the conversation.
"Look Derek Jupiter is walking down the hall!" one girl exclaimed softly.
"Derek Jupiter? Ugh he's such a dream!" another girl said back.
"He's such a rebel!" a different girl butted in dreamily. But then a different girl shushed the others.
"Shh! He's coming." She warned.
Ashley and Rich then decided to see what guy the girls are shrieking over. Ashley closed his locker door and looked to the direction the girls were gazing at.
A tall, skinny but muscular looking boy slowly walked down the hallway. He wore a vintage black leather jacket with a tight black U-neck shirt under; his shirt messily tucked with a square silver belt buckle popping out in front of his shirt, also wearing dark blue skinny jeans and pointy black leather boots. He also wore rings and a silver chain necklace.
He flipped a few hairs out of his handsome face. His hair was long, slightly wavy and a chocolate brown color; looking silky to the touch.
He wore black eyeliner over his hazel eyes that glowed a bit. He also had a slightly pointy nose; he then flashed his straight pearly white teeth.
As he walked down the hall many girls turned to see him. Many hid in their lockers to fix their hair or check their makeup. But one girl with bleach blond hair turned to see the handsome boy.
"Hi Derek." She cooed.
Derek looked at her and flashed his smile. Without raising his arm he pointing a finger at her.
"Hey." He said simply. She blushed and giggled and turned back to her locker. The other girls saw this and did the same.
"Hey Derek." Another girl with jet black hair said flirtier. Derek didn't turn his head but looked at her; he pointed a finger at her like he did with the other girl.
"Hi." He said. The girl giggled and turned to her friends smiling widely. Then a group of cheerleaders walked down the hall. They looked at Derek and gave small waves and smiles.
"Hey Derek." They said in unison. This time he raised an arm and pointed a finger at them.
"Hey." He said winking. They giggled and kept walking.
Ashley turned to Rich and raised a brow.
"Bro, who is that?" he asked. Rich rolled his eyes.
"Ugh that's Derek Jupiter. Just another popular jock." He answered. "He's just a big jerk!" he exclaimed softly. Ashley's eyebrows rose.
"Did he do something to you?" Ashley asked. Rich's eyes darted from left to right.
"Um… no, but I know he would!" Rich warned. Ashley chuckled.
"You barley know him bro. Like my mom always says… Never judge a cook by its blubber." He said smiling dim wittingly. Rich raised a brow at him.
"Don't you mean, Never judge a book by its cover?" he asked. Ashley cocked his brow.
"A book?" Ashley said lost. Rich shook his head.
Ash spotted Derek just a few lockers away. Ashley was surprised that he hadn't noticed him before. Derek struggled to open his locker to retrieve his math book. Ashley smiled and slowly started walking toward him.
Rich grabbed his arm and stopped him.
"Dude! What are you doing?" he asked loudly. Ashley gave a small innocent smile.
"I'm just gonna go help that Derek kid open his locker." He said. Rich frowned in concern.
"B-but what if he calls his jock friends to come and beat you up for talking to him!" he exclaimed to him. Ashley rolled his eyes and released himself from his friend's grasp.
"Chill man, no one is that mean." Ashley assured. Rich was about to protest but Ashley had already walked away.
"Don't say I didn't warn ya!" Rich yelled out to him. Ashley chuckled. He stopped in front of the rocker boy. He cleared his throat to get Derek's attention. Derek looked up from his locker and turned to Ashley.
"Hi there. I see you're having trouble opening your locker." Ashley said giving a warm smile. Derek didn't say anything but he slightly nodded. Ashley smiled and stepped closer.
"Well let me get that." Ashley said nicely twisting and shaking the lock on the locker. When it didn't open he gave an embarrassed smile at Derek. Derek smiled slightly, it was kinda funny.
He started pull and kick the lock angrily. But then Derek leant down and put in his locker combination. After that Ashley gently pulled the lock, it finally managed to open.
"W-well, um, t-there." Ashley said breathless.
Derek looked at him and gave a small smile. Ashley smiled back and began to turn back around. Derek frowned; he didn't even get a chance to say thanks.
"Hey kid!" Derek called out. Ashley stopped frozen in his tracks.
"Oh no." Rich said eavesdropping, thinking that Derek was going to hurt Ashley.
Ashley turned around to face the boy calling him.
"Yeah?" Ashley said slightly frightened. Derek smiled warmly.
"Thanks." He said softly but full of gratefulness. Ashley smiled and nodded.
"Sure bro anytime." He said.
Rich's mouthed gapped open. He never would have known that Derek would thank someone. But that was probably because he didn't know Derek at all.
Ashley raised a brow, he noticed something different from Derek's voice, and it had some sort of ring to it.
"Hey, is your throat sore or something?" Ashley asked. Derek's eyebrow rose. But he then chuckled as he figured out what Ashley was talking about.
"No, I just have an accent." Derek answered.
"Oh, so you're Latin?" Ashley asked. Derek chuckled.
"No, I was born in England so I'm British." Derek explained. Ashley smiled, finally getting it. But he then frowned again.
"England? You mean the country America totally beat in that one war?" Ashley asked smiling. Derek frowned; hearing Ashley insult his country was a bit obnoxious.
"Um, yeah…" Derek said. He turned around wanting to leave now. "I'll see ya later." He said. Ashley quickly frowned realizing he insulted the guy he wanted to friends with.
"Wait," Ashley called out. Derek turned around on his heel, crossing his arms. "I'm sorry bro. I'm not the smartest fruit in the tool box." Ashley finished. Derek raised a brow at Ashley's metaphor. He slightly nodded.
"It's alright kid." Derek said smiling.
Derek and Ashley continued to smile at each other. But then suddenly a group of jocks popped out by Derek's side. Derek jumped as heard one of them speak.
"Hey Derek, this nerd bothering you?" a tall jock with short blond hair, wearing a varsity football jacket and a white T- shirt under said.
"Yeah, cause we can get rid of him for you." Another jock added. The whole group agreed with a "Yeahs"
Derek smiled slightly and stood in front of Ashley.
"Uh, no thank you lads. It's all good here." Derek said waving his hands in front of them. The jocks chuckled and stepped forward.
"No seriously, it's no problem." The blond one said glaring at Ashley.
"U-uh… R-Rich." Ashley whimpered for his friend's assistance.
Rich looked at his friend and stood tall.
"Hey!" he yelled at the jocks. The jocks quickly looked angrily over to the chubby blond.
Rich then started to chuckle nervously. He backed away, and then he darted to his next class. Derek shook his head, Ashley sighed in irritation.
Derek was about to speak when the 3 jocks came rushing to Ashley. Derek was about to stop him, but two of the jocks leaned on Derek, howling with laughter.
The jocks grabbed Ashley by his green T-shirt and began to push him to Derek's locker.
"No guys, come one don't… Don't!" Ashley pleaded.
The jocks shoved Ashley fully in Derek's wide locker. They shut the door and started to burst out laughing.
Ashley looked out with the tiny holes that were drilled on the locker doors.
"Not cool guys." he said in a bored tone.
Suddenly the bell rang and the jocks patted Derek's back signaling goodbye. They walked to their 4th period classes. Derek chuckled nervously.
"Y-yeah," Derek called out. "See ya later guys." he finished. Derek made sure all the students were out of the hallway before he dashed for his locker.
He twisted the lock and opened the door. Ashley came wobbling out.
"Sorry kid, my friends like to horseplay a lot." Derek explained. Ashley nodded.
"Yeah I know. They horseplay with me and friend everyday." Ashley said forcing a fake smile, indicating him and Rich get bullied everyday.
Derek frowned but then suddenly the late bell rang. They then realized they were gonna be late for class, and probably get detention. They both gathered their belongings.
Derek bent over to pick up his textbook. They stayed in awkward silence. Derek was the first to speak.
"Well, I guess I should get to class then." He said. Ashley frowned.
"Oh yeah…" he said softly. They turned away and began to walk. Derek kept on walking when he realized something. He quickly turned back around.
"Hey kid!" he yelled. Ashley turned around. Derek walked to him and pocketed his hands in his tight jeans.
"I never got your name." Derek said. Ashley chuckled.
"I don't think my mom will let you have my name." Ashley said stupidly. Derek rolled his eyes and smiled.
"No, I mean you never told me your name." Derek corrected.
"Oh…" Ashley said, feeling incredibly stupid. Derek chuckled.
"It's…um… Ashley Tyler." He said. Derek didn't bother to ask why he has a girl's name when he's a boy. Derek smiled and slightly nodded.
"The name's, Derek Jupiter." Derek said smiling cockily. He raised his hand up. Ashley smiled and shook his hand.
"Cool." Ashley said.
Derek then thought for minute thinking Ashley would an interesting person to talk to.
"Hey kid, why don't you come hang with me at lunch?" Derek suggested. Ashley made a face of shock.
"Y-You want m-me to hand with y-you?" Ashley stuttered acting as if Derek was a movie star. Derek nodded.
"S-sure!" Ashley agreed. Derek smiled.
"Cool, see ya then kid." Derek said as he walked away. Ashley wondered why Derek kept calling him kid if he knew his name. But for him it didn't matter. He picked up his backpack and ran to his class to tell Rich everything that just happened.
Yay! The chapter to my second 'I'm in the band' story is finished. Now just too clear some things up…
If you don't know who the heck 'Ashley and Rich' are.
Ashley: Is young Ash Tyler… the reason I call him Ashley is because 'Ashley' is his full name. Look it up, it's true. So till a certain point in the story, I'm going to be calling him Ashley… but just remember it's Ash the drummer of Iron Weasel.
Rich: Is young Burger Pitt… the reason I call him Rich is because in the episode 'Money bags' Derek said Burger's name used to be Rich. But just remember 'Rich' is Burger the bassist of Iron Weasel.
Just wanted to clear that up… but if you still have anymore questions, just Private message me=)
Thanks and review! =D
