-C/V XOXO

Ray's POV

I hate it here. A lot. Ok let me tell you a little story about me. I was born in Alaska but because my so called 'Dad' was in the army we were forced to move to Afghanistan because my 'Mom' didn't have a job. Now may I remind you at this time I had only been five. Anyway, so once we moved my 'Dad' was immediately killed and my 'Mom' had been taken away from the other army team or whatever. So this odd, creepy, old lady started like dancing around me and started spraying Coom-bi-ya all over my DNA and said something that I seriously couldn't understand cause she had like no teeth what-so-ever. But before I knew I was adopted by mattress selling parents and a teenage boy that loved to sing and look at girls asses. But I hate it here. The 'popular' guys call me homeless and that nobody will/does love me. Not even my brother.

"Hay hobo, you thirsty?" I turned around to be greeted with an icy coke straight to my face and dripping to my shoes. Paxton. The leader of the prickiest pricks to set foot on the face of the fucking earth.

I felt the burning sensation come to my eyes. So I ran. Like I always do and covered my face so no one would see the tears drip along with the soda. Finally, I made it to the roof and sat down on the edge and looked at my clothes clinging to my body.

I suck.

Nikki/ Miss. Conrad's POV

I dropped my bag on top of the piano and sat down on the bench. I plugged in my iPod Nano to my dock and listened to 'The All- American Rejects', then the class of Juniors flooded the room and I forced myself to pause it. I smiled brightly at the new faces, but I had to admit…. I was nervous as fuck.

"Good morning class, I'm Mrs. -err uh Miss. Conrad" I said covering my frown with another bright smile.

"I haven't seen you around here before…" A random student said.

"I'm new. The old teacher had a bit of an uhh- accident. I just moved here from France" I informed. "Lets get started"

Then I saw a rather um… good looking (for lack of better word) guy. He was tall, had nice arms, and was…. Well…. hot. He smiled at me and then got up and walked over to me, I brushed the strands of hair that hung in my face into the brim of my cream colored beanie.

"Hi I'm James, James Dawson" He stuck out his hand and I shook it.

"Nikki, Nikki Conrad, I'm guessing you're my new assistant" He nodded.

"I just came back from Afghanistan, I was unwillingly admitted into this job by my sister" He nudged his head towards a girl that was talking to a tall blonde kid. I turned to face the class.

"Okay class, If you're here for songwriting, stand next to the piano" The girl that James was talking about bounced up and stood next to my by the piano.

"Hi I'm Ally" She smiled with a genuine ear-to-ear grin.

"Nikki" I smiled back and the three other kids gathered around her and they talked. "Okay If you're here for singing line up next to Mr. Dawson" A couple of the other kids left stood next to James "And if you're here for singing and dancing stand on the stage" Okay, it wasn't much of a stage just a flat area raised about a foot off the ground with all of the risers around it, the blonde kid that Ally was talking to jumped up with a few other guys and a skanky looking girl. "Okay now I want everyone to find a partner but it has to be with someone from a different group" The kids ran around for about 5 minutes trying to find their partners.

"Me and Miss. Conrad will have 4 groups each, I'll take Dallas and Rayanne, Rylie and Joe, Peter and Lena, and Cody and Cassidy" James announced, I could tell by his voice that he was an amazing singer "Nikki you take Mya and Luke, Olivia and Violet, Emma and Sergio, and Austin and Ally."

"Okay" I smiled and he winked at me, I blushed and looked away 'Real smooth Nik' "So lets start with vocal warm-ups"

"My thoughts exactly" James sat on the piano and I hopped on top.

"Repeat after me," I cleared my throat "Do ra mi, mi fa sol, sol fa me ra do" I sang, some of the kids gasped and clapped "Thank you, now your turn, 1,2,3.…"
