Chapter 2 – Some New Allies

The sound was coming from the one and only Ned Sneebly, the real Ned was sitting there with his guitar in his hand strumming a tune with his eyes closed. In front of him sat a small child about eight years old with a guitar in her hand and pigtails in her hair she was staring mesmerised as she watched Ned play.

I was in shock that the school was still running, okay it had one student but to me it was like the ray of sunshine that I had desperately needed. Someone still believed Ned, that beautiful man had kept the school running even after everyone else had given up hope, after the band and split and Dewey had left Ned had still believed and kept the school going.

At the moment the girl turned and looked at me and then her mouth dropped in shocked as she gaped at me. In a small voice she tried to get Ned's attention

"Mr Sneebly" she said timidly

"Ella you have to listen to the cords" he replied gently

"I know Mr Sneebly but look" she said pointing me "We have another student" Her smile widen and she pointed at me. Ned raised his eyes from the small child to me and did a double take, he didn't recognise me at first then a genuine smile surfaced after blinking a couple of times he looked again

"Summer" he asked cautiously

"Hi Ned" I said as he stood and approached me, the small feeling of happiness I felt inside me rapidly grew until I couldn't contain it anymore and I hugged him very tightly

"Summer Hathaway" he said like he was testing my name "Why, what, how…" he started and stopped catching his breath and reorganising his thoughts "I don't want to sound ungrateful to see you after so long but why are you here?" I looked at him and before answering he had aged and lost almost all of his hair now but I could still recognise him.

"I don't really know" I said stepping back and looking him in the eye "I just followed my feet and they lead me here" I said the last part looking around the place had changed no longer was it warm and filled with laughter and music, it was now cold and eerie it was also so much darker then I remember.

The girl was now looking at me, Ned must have noticed her curious gaze as he took the time to introduce us.

"Ella I would like you to meet one of the school of rocks first and only manager Summer Hathaway" Then he turned to me " Summer this is my only remaining student Ella"

"Hi" she said half hiding behind her guitar

"I will make a nice cup of tea for everyone, Summer have a seat" he said as he left the room... I took the seat that Ned had just vacated and faced Ella.

"Do you like it here Ella?" I asked

"Yes" she replied automatically and then titled her head towards the side." Were you really a member of the school of rock?"

"Yes, Ned told you about the band"

"Yep" she said beginning to strum her guitar "he is always talking about Mr Dewey and his band"

"Really" I asked

She nodded and raised her eyes from the guitar, my inner hope was beginning to rise, Ned remembered too, and maybe if he worked with me it could work. After we had our tea and some biscuits we chatted about old times and had remembered the funny times, I explained what was bugging me and what had led me to be there, Ned listened intently and Ella was smiling away.

"Do you think it could be done?" Ned asked his face was completely neutral

"I have to try"

"Yes "Ella squealed "I want to help, I love Zack and he is my hero" she was practically jumping up and down. I looked over at Ned with a smile on my face.

His eyes had a bit of their spark back and looked to be a little brighter "It could be a fresh start for us all" he said "the band back together again, of course I will help"

"Thanks" I said "Now we have just got to convince the musicians" I said my smiling fading a little. Ella looked between us her eyes obviously showing her confusion

"They don't want to be back together again" she asked the question with the child like innocent, she wouldn't understand why the spilt happened and to be truthful in reality I didn't understand either.

"We just have to make them remember" Ned said calmly

"Easier said than done Ned, they are all too stubborn or can't stand each other to even be in the same room with each other" I looked glum at the two

"Well years ago Summer they could" Ned said with firmness in his voice "Summer, years ago you were all friends, united and loyal to each other and that has not been lost, you can get it back".

"But Ned I see them everyday and we have all grown into different people"

"But deep down you all still have that inner passion that was ignited by Dewey so many years ago, Summer they need you to help them find their voice".

"Ned"

"Summer, I have an idea but it may require you to get into a bit of trouble at school"

"How much trouble"

"I suppose detentions"

"I never had detention before"

"Consider it to be not only a learning experience but also a your contribution to help reforming the band"

"Just imagine my mother's face when I tell her I the perfect daughter have detentions, she will flip, I will do it"

"Good I believe we have the beginning of a plan"

The next day at school began normally enough except when I should be on my way now to homeroom I was in fact going in the opposite direction, I had a purpose I was heading towards the radio room. This is the room that in the morning will play gently, calming music to help soothe the student population but also this is the room that gives the morning announcements over the speaker system. Well that is all about to change; my mind is completely focused on the mission that I have to accomplish. The guy who works in the radio room also works on the school paper so I know him quiet well; I knock gently on the door and plastered a fake, sweet smile to my face.

"Morning Summer "he said swinging the door t see me, a bit shocked "If you have come to bring the morning articles Jamie already brought them"

"I know Joe" I said looking around the room, I hadn't really perfected the lying thing "The principal asked me to fetch you; you're not in trouble he just wanted to add something to the morning announcement and wanted to speak to you personally".

"Oh okay, watch it the radio for me"

"Sure Joe, Not a problem" as I watched him leave and head in the direction of the principals office all I could think was 'an the Oscar goes to Summer' As I watched him disappear around a corner I acted swiftly and locked the door also at the same time managing to cut the boring, calming music meant to soothe the student population and changed the cd to something certain student all over this school should remember…

Baby we were making straight A's

We were stuck in the dumb days

I blasted out of every speaker in the school, covering every inch with the hard rock music. It was a matter of minutes before the janitor was knocking on the glasses, and then seconds after that, students from the classrooms came pouring out of every class to see who would dare do something like this. Granted they didn't expect to see perfect student Summer Hathaway sitting with my feet on the control panel smiling widely at my new audience.

Most of them were in shock, couldn't quite believe that I would break the rules, oh well.

This weeks ASSignment

Kick some ass

I saw Katie and Freddy watching me from one side; I could see Zack and some others on the other side watching. Either they were glued to watching me or listening intently to the infectious music. Most of them had neutral looks on their faces but I could see Tomilka with a small smile on hers, 'Please let this work' I mentally thought.

The music had come to a stop and I slowly got up from my position and removed the cd, I turned to face the door and found that the janitor and some teachers were struggling with the spare set of keys. They eventually did get the door open and I was escorted to the principal's office, the students were being asked to return to their classrooms I could see some of the former band members, I could see their faces and I could see that the seeds of remembrance had been planted in the minds.
