A/N attention! i am new here, like i said last time, so im having trouble with the stories and chapters and such. really sorry if this turns out messed up. which it probs will. sorry for the long wait. Btw: The underlined parts are songs.
Ready for the big time,
ready for the small
whatever's coming to me i'll be ready for it all.
Sometimes it ain't easy,
sometimes it's not polite
some days i don't get it, some days i get it right.
It's in my heart it's in my head that's what i said...
Hey, boys are you ready for the shock,
i'm livin' proof, the girl can rock.
Spread the news around every single block!
Hey boys, the girl can rock!
a cold shiver ran up my spine as i leaned against the bus stop pole, listening to my ipod. i glared at the car my sisters were in as it rounded the corner. stupid sisters, they get a ride to school while i have to take the stupid bus. to make it worse, the door behind me closed and a swarm of girls and one black and gray furred boy came out of the house behind me. All the girls ran up to say hi to me, and Jojo just gave me a small wave.
After a few minutes of the girls trying to talk to me, the bus pulled up and i got in after the girls and Jojo. The girls sat in the front of the bus and i followed Jojo to the back. He sat down with a bunch of goth/puck kids and they stopped talking as i walked down the aisle, looking for a seat. i started getting nervous when i saw everyone on the bus staring at me. My eyes glanced at the back seat where Jojo was avoiding my eyes and his friends were doing the exact opposite. I found an empty seat and quickly sat down. The seat i was in was the one right in front of the Jojo and his gang, so i could hear them talking, and they were talking about...me.
"New people barely ever come to Whoville." one of the boys said said. "Poor kid, she has no one to sit with, and everyone was looking at her like she's an alien from Freaksville." a female said. 'i don't need your sympathy.' i thought. "maybe she is," another boy said. "we don't kn- OW!" "Don't be so mean!" "I wasn't being mean! im just saying that we don't know if she's a freak or not. OW! stop doing that!" another girl giggled while the first boy's voice said. "Hey, she's kind of cute." "Will you guys shut up?" a new voice said. "She's in the seat right in front of us! She has ears you know!" I silently thanked the male voice.
I slouched in the seat and turned my ipod back on. I was soon comforted my one of my favorite songs, I Am by Hilary Duff.
I'm an angel, I'm a devil, I am sometimes in between
I'm as bad as it can get
and good as it can be.
Sometimes I'm a million colors,
sometimes I'm black and white,
I am all extremes...
try to figure me out, you never can
there's so many tings...
I am.
'Welcome to hell' i thought as the bus pulled up at the school.
As i walked to my locker, I checked my schedule, Music, Math, Art, English, Lunch, and then study hall for the rest of the day. After getting all of my stuff, i headed to music and i was surprised as i walked through the door to see all the whos from the bus' back seat had it too. I sat down with my head down and started doodling in my notebook. "Good morning!" a voice sang from the front of the class.
A pretty young woman, around her 20's was standing in front of all of us and she was smiling a blinding white smile. "I am Ms. Lovely, your music teacher."
"I hope you brought your talents today," she said. "because we are going to be sharing them. Do any of you enjoy singing?" I admire how she said 'do any of you ENJOY singing. instead of something rude like, 'can any of you sing?' or just telling us to sing.
A few kids raised their hands, mostly girls, but Ms. Lovely stared right at... me.
"How about you dear. What's your name?" I shifted in my seat uncomfortably and shook my head a little bit. I don't like to talk to people...
"I see, well. It's fine! Jojo over here doesn't like to talk much either. Do you like to sing?" I nodded slightly, but she saw it. "Great! Wonderful! Would you like to sing for us?" Sing? In front of people? I frowned and she smiled, yet again. "That's okay. You can sing when ever you feel like it." I like her. She's not pushy and she understands that I don't want to be in the center of attention. "Now, how about you?" She pointed to a girl from Jojo's gang and she stood up and went to stand by the teacher.
"Alright, look. I'll sing, but I need music. I need drums, a guitar and a bass. So, Poison and Raven get up here." A boy with bright red and black fur went to the drum set, a girl with brown and black fur grabbed the bass, but the guitar remained untouched.
"Zarra, what about guitar?" The drummer said. The girl, who I'm guessing is Zarra sighed and turned to the class.
"Alright. Who can play guitar?"
My hand went up slightly and she pointed at me and motioned to the stage thing. I picked up the electric guitar and she leaned over and said to me. "Just try to keep up, k?" I nodded but she was already turning towards the other two. "Poison, start us off."
He started and me and the other girl, Raven I'm guessing, followed And then Zarra started singing.
10:28 on the digital clock
I know it's late, but I just can't stop
All this jumpin' around, all this wasting time,
it's getting to be
a habit of mine!
You would think I didn't wanna get paid,
I'm not the type to procrastinate
But a girl can't always be well behaved
I wanna stay home with my headphones on,
with the on the floor and a lock on my door.
I lost my keys in the mess I made so I can't go anywhere, anyway
So rock on!
With the headphones on!
I was having so much fun! I felt like I was black at my old house, with all of my friends and with Rhyan.
got a lot, and nothing to do
I'm Not getting it done, and I'm loving it too!
24 hours since I've been outside,
but it feels okay, it feels alright!
I could go to school another day,
don't understand why I dance all day
you know what they say about all work and no play!
I wanna stay home with my headphones on,
with the stuff on the floor and a lock on my door.
I lost my keys in the mess I made, so I can't go anywhere, anyway
So rock on! With the headphones on!
This rocks!
with the headphones on,
It's like fireworks in my head,
above the clouds, I may never get to bed,
Can't turn back now,
don't wanna come down!
I couldn't help myself, I burst out into a guitar solo that would blow my friends' minds if I were back home. when I stopped, Zarra smiled at me and continued singing.

ROCK ON! WITH THE HEADPHONES ON! WITH THE HEADPHONES ON! WITH THE HEADPHONES ON!
The classroom burst into cheers, and claps and all that jazz. I felt awesome! I hadn't played like that in forever! The est of the class time was great and really fun, but the bell ran, and Everyone hurried to their lockers. I was following them, but when I got outside the door, a hand grabbed my arm and pulled my backwards. As I turned around, I saw the bunch of punk/goth/whatever kids. What was with this? Every where we go, we're always near each other. The girl, Zarra, was smiling like their was no tomorrow.
"That was some wicked guitar playing, kid." I shrugged. "What's you're name." I pulled out my phone and the screen lit up, showing a word on the front; Nick
One of the guys snickered. "Nick? Isn't that, like, a guys name?" The drummer, elbowed him in the stomach and for a moment, I wasn't in the hallway by the music room in Whoville High. I was standing around with all my old friends, and Rhyan's cousin, Alec was making fun of my boy nickname (in a teasing way, though). Without thinking, I used my usual response to Alec. I stuck my tongue out at him. The pack smiled, even the guy that insulted me.
"Okay, Nick." The bassist said. "We need a guitar player, and you seem like a pretty cool kid."
"And we felt sorry for you, cuz you're new, everyone thinks you're weird cuz you don't talk, and you don't have any friends, so..." I glared at them and crossed my arms. 'I do have friends, they just don't go to this dumb school!' I thought.
"Okay," A who with neon green and dark blue fur said. "Look, don't listen to him. The bell's about to ring, we'll see you later."
'What a odd bunch.' I thought as they left. I went to my locker and gathered my things and headed to my next class. My day was going pretty good. I got a B+ on my math test, painted a 'Magnificent' (according to my art teacher, Mrs. Broza) picture of a bunch of my favorite instruments and a singing who. and then I ate alone at lunch. I had avoided the pack all day, but then when I got into study hall, there they were. Great.
A/N those songs were, in order- A girl can rock by Hilary duff, I am by Hilary duff, and Headphones on by Miranda Cosgrove. BYE!
