I'm Not Okay (I Promise)
Ahh, the first day of school. The prime opritunity for me to show those jocks who really runs that place.
"Trane! Are you up, it's almost time to go!" My mom yelled from the kitchen.
"I'm up ma, don't worry!" I screamed back. I pulled on a pair of black jeans, and grabbed a pink shirt up off the ground.
"This will have to do, I guess." I said to myself, looking in the mirror. My dreads sat pefectly on top of my head. I grabbed my MP3 player and a black zip up hoodie Damn, I love these thingsXD and headed out the door.
"Seeya Ma, I've got a bus to catch!" I said, heading straight into the sliding glass door.
"OW! That hurt. Well seeya!" I said again OPENING the door and heading out.
"Bye Tranie, don't get into any fights." My Mom said with a light smile.
I missed the bus, as usual, so I walked to school. I heard an engine roaring behind me, so I turned around, just in time to get hit in the head with a Rickenbacker bass.
"ARGH! What is it with things hitting me in the head today!" I said, rather hostilely.
"Sorry, cutie." Said a pink haired chick on... what was that? A vespa?
"Who are you?" I asked, rubbing my skull.
"Maybe if you come by here a little later, you'll find out." She said, sexily smiling and reving her engine. A little later she was gone.
Then the bell rang. Great. The first day and I was already late.
"Where the fuck were you? Your lucky we were still able to set up the plan!" Dustin yelled.
"Well, I didn't exactly plan to get smacked upside the head with a bass, so I got here a little late," I yelled back. Dustin had a short fuse to go with his stubby little body, he wore his long brown hair in a skater do.
"Whatever. You still remember your cue, right"
"Uh..'We have Sadie Hawkins Dance coming up some time next month.' Right?" We had a huge plan for today's pep rally.
"Correct. The rest of the band will already be up their, you got a song picked out?" "Hell Yeah." This is gonna be big.
(Near the end of the day)
It was really dark behind this curtain. Luckily, Dustin was able to make sure all of our instruments made it on the stage, along with our lead guitarist Taylor, our keytarist Jesse, Our drummer Rickey, and the bassist and lead vocalist, me. The principal (Mr. Conklin) was having a pep rally in the theater area, which was a bit of a change from his usual auditorium setting. Everyone was sitting in red folding chairs.
"Welcome to Pleasant Valley Junior High School!" Mr. Conklin yelled. Most of the crowd clapped. "This is going to be a great year, and just as a little suprise, we have a Sadie Hawkins Dance coming up some time next month! Won't that be-"
"Frickin' sweet!" I said into a microphone. The curtain dropped, reavealing our band, The Perfect Autmn.
"Hey Trey, didn't Relient K write a song about Sadie Hawkins dances?" Dustin asked.
"I think thet did! Do you guy's think we should play it" My question was replied to with a scream.
"I guess I'll take that as a yes!" We began to play the intro.
"All the girls in the bathroom talking,
who they gonna take to the Sadie Hawkins,
My ears are burning but I kept on walking,
smile on my face and an air guitar rocking,
Sitting in the back of my next class napping Got up, gave a speech, then bowed to the clapping Told a funny joke got the whole class laughing think I got a tan from the light which I was basking
The Sadie Hawkins Dance in my khaki pants There's nothing better oh oh oh The girls ask the guys it's always a surprise There's nothing better baby do you like my sweater?
Scan the cafeteria for some good seating I found a good spot by the cheerleaders eating The quarterback asked me if I'd like a beating I said that's one thing I won't be needing And since I'm rather smart and cunning I took off down the next hall running Only to get stopped by a girl so stunning only to get stopped by a girl so stunning
She said, You're smooth, and good with talking.
You're going with me to the Sadie Hawkins"
The end of the song was met with loud screaming.
"Have a great year!" I yelled, and then I through the microphone down.
We walked off stage, and were imeadiatly stopped by our jackass of a vice principal, Mr. Freeze (Brrr..).
"My office now!" He scolded we walked down the halls, laughing loudly.
"Man Jesse, that keytar in there was great. And Taylor, that intro was perfect!" I said.
"Man, I can't wait till tommorow." Dustin said. "Girls are gonna be all over us"
"Yeah, in your dreams, Dustin." Taylor said. We all cracked up again.
We were quiet when Mr. Conklin walked into the room.
"Now, under any other circumstances, you would all be suspened. But since your little rock session boosted spirits around here, I let you off with a warning. Go ahead and go home now." He said.
"Gee thanks." Jesse said on the way out. We split up and took our seperate ways home. I suddenly remembered the vespa girl. Then I heard an engine reving, I turned and saw her right behind me.
"Hiya, cutie." She said.
"Are you finally gonna tell me who you are?" I asked for a second time.
"My name is Haruhara Hakuro, and you are?" She asked, lifting her goggles.
"I'm Trane... So what do you want?" She got up off her bike and walked up to me.
"Isn't it obvious, Trakun?" Haruko said, sliding her finger down my chest, "I want you"
And, before I could do anyting about it, her lips crashed into mine.
Man, it feels good to be writing again. Plz reveiw!
