Derek's POV

I have always loved hockey and still had hopes of going pro. Which is why I took the scholarship and I'm now attending college. I figured if I have to go to college in order to one day make it pro then I was gonna pick a fun and exciting major. Which is why I am majoring in Music Business. However, over the last two years of college my interest in hockey has diminished and my love of music has increased. This is why, since I am currently a junior I am interning at NJ Records for the year.

Speaking of music, D-Rock is getting together this winter break, for the last time, to record a CD. This is mostly due to the fact that Sam and Schlep, yes he is in the band, go to college about four or so hours away from everyone else. So I asked my boss about getting some recording time and she set it all up for us. We knew it would be expensive but fun and worth it, so we shelled out the dough for the studio time.

We had been recording for a week when my boss came to one of our sessions. Afterwards, she did the unexpected and asked D-Rock if we wanted to sign a recording contract. Sam said yes, he was actually planning on dropping out of school anyway. Ralph's response was "rock-n-roll", so that's a yes for him. Me? I could see my self as a rock star, the parties, the girls, so that was a yes for me. However, Schlep didn't want to change schools or drop out so we had no lead singer. Then I remembered that Casey was coming the next day to record the song from Clash of the Bands sophomore year in high school. Since Casey had been taking college classes since junior year in high school and every Fall, Spring, and Summer semester she had just recently graduated. Sure she had a job but she hated it, plus, she did have fun sophomore year so I thought we might be able to convince her. Don't get me wrong, I didn't want to work with her but it was the only way I could live out my rock-n-roll fantasy, then I was willing to.

So the next day Casey came in and recorded the song, afterwards, my boss talked with us and asked Casey if she would like to join. Surprisingly, she agreed without even thinking it over. So next we talked about songs. Our boss thought that two songs were 'okay' and to have Casey rerecord them and that "NaNaNa", as she called it, had potential. She said something along the lines of 'needs substance' to which I am sure Casey was thinking, ha that's what I said, cause immediately she mentioned her version of the song. Not even a verse in our boss stopped Casey and asked her if she liked her, to which Casey nodded and so our boss responded with 'then stop singing'. Let's just say I don't think Casey likes her that much anymore.

Our boss suggested that we work with a songwriter for help with the song and the rest of the album. She suggested this one girl, Britt Mills, a successful songwriter who was releasing a debut album this March.

Britt happened to be in the building that day. So she worked on the song with us for a couple of hours. Which by the way is looking sweet. She told us to get the songs rerecorded and next month she'll be back to finish the song and begin work on the rest of the album.

After Britt left, Casey left a few minutes later, leaving Sam, Ralph, and myself to talk, giving me the perfect opportunity to ask Sam and Ralph about my idea to get an apartment together.

"Hey guys, since I still live on campus and Ralph you still live at home and Sam now you have no home, we could get an apartment together."

"Yeah, sounds good" nodded Sam.

"Yeah, totally rock-n-roll"

"Hmm yeah, Ralph (Derek rolls eyes) so we're agreed?"

"Totally dude"

"Sam?"

"Sure thing D"

"Alright let's go in search of home."

"Uh, could we do it tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I agree with Ralph, D, that works out better for me too."

"…Fine, first thing tomorrow."

Well that is chapter one. Hope it wasn't too bad. It will definitely get better, I just wanted to get the ground work covered and done with. Remember to review, any suggestions and criticisms welcome.
