A/N Hey, everyone. After seeing there wasn't much fanfics on Backstage, I thought I might do one. This is my first Backstage fanfic, so, if I make any grammar mistakes, let me know, and I'll make some changes. This story will feature on my OCs character Will Hawthorne and his little sister Sarah. And the character pairing will be Will and Kit. So, sit back, and enjoy my very first Backstage fanfic. This story will entirely focus on Will's perspective.
I only own my OCs, no one else.
Chapter 1: First Day
My alarm clock goes off, I wake up, brush my teeth, took a shower, ate breakfast, got dressed, put my headphones around my neck, and head out because it's my first day as a freshman at an art school. After I step out of my parents' car, I took a deep breath and started walking to the art school.
"So, this is Keaton School of the Arts," I thought to myself. I looked at my direction where the other students are, embracing their friends as they haven't seen each other since summer break. I walked to the entrance of the art school. I saw the students looking at their names on a paper on the program they originally applied or returning for another year in a row. I looked for my name and saw it on the music program that I applied. Then, a girl walked up to me holding a camera in her hands.
"Hi, there! Welcome to Keaton School of the Arts!" she greeted in her happy voice as she offered a smile. I smiled back.
"I'm Julie Maslany, the president of the student class here in Keaton. What's your name?" she asked as she extended her hand out.
"I'm Will. I'm new here to the school," I said as I shook her hand.
"Welcome to Keaton, Will. Enjoy it while you can," said Julie.
"Thanks," I said. Then, two beautiful girls comes up beside me looking for their names. I immediately assumed that they applied for the dance program. When I look at them, they're also freshman here in Keaton, just like me. Later, I watch a male teen walk past holding drumsticks, and I correctly guessed that he's also in the music program. Not much later, one of the two girls walks up to me.
"Hi, are you new here?" she asked.
"Uh, yeah. I'm new here. I'm just looking for the music room, and I don't know where that is," I answered.
"The guy who just walked by, you can follow him," she said.
"Right, thanks for that. I almost didn't know about it," I said.
"Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself. I'm Vanessa, and this is my best friend Carly," she said. "Hi," said another girl.
"Hey there," I said. After having a brief conversation, I left and followed the guy to the music room. After a couple of minutes of looking, I saw the music room and walked in, where there are other students who are part of the music program. I sat down on one of the vacant chairs and placed my backpack on the floor. Then, a female teen with short blonde hair and blue eyes enters the classroom carrying a guitar on her back and sat in another vacant chair and right on time, the music teacher arrives and sets his bag down on the teacher's desk.
"Welcome to the music program, everyone. I'm Mr. Park. As all of you know, your time at Keaton will be the best four years of your life. So, I expect all of you to make it count. You understand?" asked the music teacher.
"Yes, sir," we all said at the same time.
"All right. I will call out your names, when you hear your name, you know what to do," he said. And before he can start, two teens enters the classroom. Mr. Park says the students' names regardless.
"Alya," he said.
"Here," said the blonde hair girl.
"Will," said Mr. Park.
"Here," I said. After calling everyone's names, another female teen, Bianca, who has blue eyes like Alya, starts singing in front of the class. Then, one of the male teens, Jax Gardner, who has headphones around his neck like me, turns to the guy, Miles Lennox, who is sitting beside him and starts asking questions. Miles says he really doesn't watch and own a TV due to unknown complications. After Bianca finishes her singing, Mr. Park asks Alya to sing next. Before she can start, I immediately see that she's struggling to sing and that's when I realize that she has stage fright. Then, another one of the students calls Alya an amateur, as Alya attempts to sing, Bianca starts making fun of her, which prompts Alya to stop, this results the entire students, except for me and Miles, start laughing. Alya remains standing in front of the class, frozen as the students continue laughing at her. I looked at Miles, who sat behind me, and we both shook our heads. This is unbelievable. I was trying to have the best first day and it was already being ruined. Next, Jax and I head to the production class to make demo mixes. I saw a female teen with a wavy brown hair, wearing a beanie and headphones around her neck like Jax and I. After sitting down, the production class' teacher assigns partners, Jax was assigned to be the girl's partner, and I learn that the girl's name is Kit Dunn. I then started to work with my partner as he showed me how to make mixes. And we had a few minutes to make a demo mix, so, my partner and I started coming up with the ideas on how to make a mix, while doing so, I heard Kit laugh as Jax tries to remain being confident on being a solo artist. I was amused by what Jax is trying to do, I looked at Kit, and she looks back at me, and mouthed at me, saying that Jax is struggling so much. I let out a silent laugh, and I mouthed back, saying I know. I turned back around and continued working on making the demo mix with my partner. When the teacher announces that the demo mix is due in two minutes, my partner and I make final changes to our mix and we finished it. The teacher comes by and listens to the mix. After he finishes listening to our mix, he heads over to where Jax and Kit are sitting to listen to their demo. I looked at my partner and we were both satisfied with on how our mix was. After the bell rings, I grabbed my backpack and headed out of the classroom and I thanked my partner for showing me how to make the mixes. Kit then walks out of the classroom as Jax asks her on she was able to make her mixes, but she ignores his question. As I walking down the hallway, Kit walks beside me.
"Hey," she said.
"Hey," I said.
"How did your demo mix do?" asked Kit.
"I think it did well. My partner showed me how to make mixes and the teacher definitely liked our mix and we were both satisfied," I answered. "What about you?"
"Jax had so much struggle making the mix," she said as she lets out a laugh.
"Yeah, I saw that, I think that shows that he's just a little too overconfident," I said as I also let out a laugh.
"I have mixes of my own, would you like to listen to them if you have the time?" she asked.
"Yeah, I would definitely like to listen to your mixes," I said.
"Awesome, I'll bring my mixes so that you would listen to them," said Kit. As we walked, Jax stands up and walks over to Kit.
"Hey, I listened to your mixes and you're pretty good," he said.
"Yeah. I am," she said.
"Listen, I'm sorry. I was too overconfident about being a solo artist, but, thanks for showing me on how to make good mixes," said Jax.
I looked at Kit and I gave the, "Are you going to accept his apology?" look.
"All right, I accept your apology," said Kit. Jax then lets out a relief. Kit and I continued walking down the school's hallway. When the final bell rings, I realized it was the end of the first day of school. Kit then hands me her USB drive and she explained it has her mixes on it.
"Hey, do you want to exchange phone numbers? We can talk to each other often," said Kit.
"Yeah, definitely. I can update on you on what's going on at Keaton," I said.
Kit and I exchanged our phone numbers. I thanked her for giving me her USB drive as I left the school. I walked towards a bus stop and took the bus home. After I got off the bus, I walked to my home and unlocked the front door.
"I'm home!" I called.
"Hey, honey, how was your first day at school?" asked my mom.
"It was good. I made some new friends," I answered.
"That's good to hear, honey," she said.
"Where's dad?" I asked.
"He's still at work, he won't be back in a couple of hours. I gotta go pick up your sister from school," answered my mom.
"All right. Anyway, I gotta go take a shower," I said.
"Is there anything you need me to do before you head out to get Sarah?"
"No, there isn't," she said. I watched as my mom gets everything. She then opens the front door of the house and heads out.
"See you later, mom!" I called.
"See you later, honey!" she called back and closed the front door.
I forgot to mention. Sarah is my little sister who still attends public school. I went upstairs to my bedroom as I put down my backpack and I took the USB drive out of my pocket and set it down on my computer desk. I changed my clothes and went to take a shower. After I finished taking a shower, I walked back to my bedroom as I sat down on my chair, and turned on my laptop. I then logged in with my password and I plugged in the USB drive. I then plugged in my headphones and listened to Kit's mixes and I felt the beats coming from it.
"Wow, Kit's really good at making her own mixes," I thought to myself. I guess today was a good day after all since it was my first day at the Keaton School of the Arts and I made some friends except Bianca, who was being very mean to Alya. After I finished listening to her mixes, I took off my headphones and removed the USB drive from my laptop. Then, I heard the front door open and I assumed that was my mom and my little sister Sarah. I walked out of my bedroom and I see both of them downstairs as they take their shoes off.
"Sarah!" I called to my little sister.
"Will!" she called back to me as she hugged me.
"How was school today?" I asked.
"It was okay. Just reunited with some of my friends," said Sarah.
"That's good," I said.
"How was your first day at your art school?" she asked.
"It was good. I made some new friends," I said.
"All right, Sarah, go take a shower, honey. Your dad will be back in the next hour," said my mom. I watched as my little sister ran upstairs to take a shower. An hour later, my dad comes home from work.
"I'm home!" my dad called out as soon as he stepped in the house.
"Hey, dad," I greeted.
"Hey, bud," he said as he and I embraced.
"How was work today?" I asked.
"You know, same stuff as usual, but different day," he answered. "Mom's making dinner soon," I said.
"Where's your sister?" my dad asked.
"She's upstairs," I said. Then later, my mom called us to come to the living room to eat dinner. While we were eating, my dad started the conversation.
"Will, Sarah, how was your first day at school today?" he asked. I looked at my sister and we weren't sure on who wants to go first. And I'm the first one to speak up.
"It was really good, I made some friends who were in the music program today," I answered.
"What about you, Sarah? How did your first day go?" said my dad.
"It was okay. I reunited with my friends and made new friends," said Sarah.
"Will, did you do anything in the music program today?" my dad asked.
"I didn't do much. One of my classmates Alya went to the front to sing, but, she had a stage fright and couldn't sing," I answered.
"What's stage fright?" asked Sarah.
"It means that someone who has a fear of singing in front of a crowd for the first time," my mom answered.
"Anyway, another one of my classmates Bianca made fun of Alya and the whole class of students laughed at Alya," I said.
"Did you laugh at Alya?" my mom asked.
"No, I didn't. One of my classmates, Miles, didn't laugh either. He and I both knew that this was serious and there absolutely nothing to laugh about at all," I said.
"What else did you do today?" asked Sarah.
"My friend and classmate Jax and I went to the production class to make a demo mix for our teacher to listen," I said.
"Wow. How did it go?" my dad said.
"It went really well. My teacher assigned partners and my partner showed me how to make mixes. Our mix did good at the end of that. Jax and Kit, my other classmate, were partners, but, Jax decided to make mixes on his own without Kit's help, and he had trouble understanding on how the software works. And Kit actually laughed at his struggles," I said to them. My parents nearly choked on their food and laughed.
"Wow, that must've been so funny to watch," said Sarah as she laughed.
"Yeah, it was. After the production class ended, Kit asked me to listen to her mixes whenever I have the time," I said.
"And did you listen to her mixes?" my dad asked.
"I did, yeah. Her mixes were really good. I don't think I'll ever be at her level," I answered.
"You definitely need to bring her home so you could introduce her to us, bud," my dad said.
"Hey, may I apply for Keaton School of the Arts?" asked Sarah.
"You need some skills if you want to apply for the program at Keaton, Sarah," I said. My little sister pouts and I laughed at that.
"Hey, don't pout in front of your brother," my mom said.
After the family dinner concludes, Sarah and I head upstairs to our bedroom as we both prepare to fall asleep. And I wonder how the second day at Keaton will go tomorrow. I set the alarm clock and I closed my eyes.
