Chapter Two! Yeah boy! Haha, it has become impossible to write but I'll try. I don't know if you guys have caught this yet but I'm a theater kid. That means that I have plays, right now I have two at the same time. Along with SATs and my AP and Honors Classes I have no time to do anything, which is why HESS has hit the back burner. April Vacation I plan on writing if I can, I have college visits so we'll see. ANYWAY! I would like to recommend a musical for you all to look at, 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, my school is putting it on (I'm not in this one since I can't spell at all, I'm dyslexic so doing a musical about spelling is not a good idea) and I watched one of the songs today. Definitely one of the funniest things I have ever seen. I will say though that it isn't really appropriate for younger audiences. But I is really funny, go see it. (One of the Songs from it will be the title for the next chapter, it fits so I'm going to use it.)
I don't own BTR, or RENT.
Chapter 2:
The Burned CDs
There are many things that can make me lose my marbles. Carlos' antics, James and his hair care products, Kendall's nonchalant attitude about life in general and they're overall disregard to anything that might cause them harm during their absurd plans; they are all up there on the list.
But the one person who really makes my anger and blood pressure soar is that cheeky girl Sandra. Sandra was the bane of my high school existence. She would make it her sole mission each day to cause me metal, physical, and emotional torment.
You may be asking yourself "Then why are you putting yourself in this position Logan?" Well the answer is simple.
I fell in love with her.
That's right I fell in love with that self righteous, scornful, sadistic, malignant spirit known far and wide as Hermantown's single most passionate and spiteful female Sandra Elizabeth Skinner.
So didn't everyone else in the town.
Even when she first moved here she was considered one of the towns' most sought after girls. She was quick to respond to any of the guys jokes and wasn't afraid to hurt herself for a gag. One of the things that really had people going after her was the fact that her brother was about to become (and then later became) one of the NHLs most promising rookies. Not to mention the fact that even though she was lanky in shape she was defiantly one of the hottest girls in school. She never let this get to her head and never took any of those guys seriously. She was always one to push them away and hung out strictly with the rest of the hockey team.
"Logan! Let's go, we have to get to the hotel before sun down." Kendall said calling to me. I had stopped in front of the Duluth International Airport's baggage claim and waited for my suitcases to arrive. Mrs. Knight had tried to get us not to use suitcases but in the end we had to, besides the flight was being taken care of by Gustavo. I saw my bags and made a dash for the cabs after everyone else took off. We got to the hotel in central Duluth and planned on being in town by tomorrow, all of us staying at la casa de Garcia for the time being seeing as Mrs. Garcia was down in Panama visiting her sister and Mr. Garcia would be away most of the time so we would be able to go in and out as need be. We knew not to be reckless though, seeing as if we did anything out of line one of our nosey neighbors would say something and if it came too it Mr. Garcia would probably be the cop to drag us in anyway.
That night I couldn't sleep and decided to look though the old photographs and the burned CDs that Sandra used to make for me. She made each of us one but I always felt like mine was made solely for me.
"So these are for us?"
"Each of you, my sister got me this quicker cool computer system that I can burn CDs on and off and make movie junk and stuff. We can do those films we wanted and cut tracks and everything. I just made each of you a workout CD. My brother listens to music while he trains so I thought you guys might want to, too." Sandra handed each of us a plastic CD with her initials on it. The inside cover showed us a track list and I smiled when I looked at mine. Even though I was 14 at the time I had always enjoyed my parents' music. A lot of Motown tracks filled my list and I knew she had to search high and low for these. I always found her attentiveness to the things she had to go intriguing. She made sure she new everything about everyone she could. She knew our favorite everything: food, sports, books, subjects. She had made sure she made everything perfect for everyone. It was just how she was.
The CDs continued to play in my room; I still hadn't gotten to putting them on my iPod and used my old CD player. Hers were the only CDs I played. I put on one of the last CDS she gave me, the songs included a more complex combination of music, as I had gotten older I learned to appreciate the other music in the world. One of my favorite songs on the CD was "Halloween" from RENT. It was one of those songs that Sandra would throw in, she always did that. She always knew you better than you knew yourself.
"Why did you put this on my CD? Why in God's name would I want to listen to some show tune from a tasteless play that I never heard of?" I said giving her back the CD. She had made us one of her monthly enlightening CDs to culturalize us. James was the only one who really liked them since they were normally show tunes, like this one, and he didn't mind Broadway all too much (he was going to be a star one way or another).
"First off how do you know that the show is tasteless if you've never seen it? Second, because it's a good song! You would identify with Mark; he's the smart and caring guy that everyone likes."
"Aw you think I'm smart and caring." I teased; I knew she didn't hate me as much as she let on. I sure liked her.
"Don't get too cocky, he's also the one that turns girls to the other team." She said pushing my locker door towards me. I re opened it and finished putting away my books before continuing to gym. In front of the locker rooms for the gym Sandra cut off my path to the rest of the guys who stood just beyond the threshold.
"Just take the CD and listen to it for me please. I promise you'll like it." She offered me the CD; I wordlessly took it and brushed pasted her, quickly catching her smirk.
I did like it in the end. It tapped into some fears I have when it comes to my future and I found that it nailed my on the head. I was finally able to fall asleep after listening to an old Spinners song she had thrown in for me. When I woke up I saw that everyone else was getting ready to go to our old school for a fundraiser.
I was going to see that insane girl that had captured my heart and mind and drives me to the point of finding the edge of the cliff a friendly sight.
We were going to see Sandra.
This is not good.
That's Chapter 2! I'll start to write more in each chapter and if you want other POVs, both the boys and OCs I have yet to create are fair game, there's a nice button below to state your opinion. As for OCs if you have a suggestion you can put it up in the reviews if you want. I will say that I tend to change everything but if something is so in depth that I really just have the characters story in my face than Ill run with it. I will say, I am not looking for pairing for the boys, all types are open, I'm talking about teachers, old friends, enemies, girls, boys, family, anything. Hell I'll even take a dog! Haha, just don't put in is in love with Kendall. They might be at one point if I end up loving to write for the character but don't be surprised if it doesn't happen. I don't know what I'm doing with the other guys yet. Carlos I have some of an idea and I know I'm probably not doing slash. I have nothing wrong with it I just don't know how to write it much. It's not off the table yet though and I'm about to do a one shot to tests that water.
