I know it took a long time to update but I need vacations too!
I walked to where the upperclassmen's rooms were supposed to be. It was till passing period so many students were just hanging out in the hallway. I walked up to one of upperclassmen and asked if he knows where Michi was.
"What do you want with Michi? A freshman shouldn't even be in here." he said, giving off a large amount of attitude. His hair was a reddish purplish hue and a pocky was sticking out of his mouth.
"I just want to join the light music club." I said back, "If you don't know where she is then I don't need to talk to you." I was about to walk away until he grabbed my wrist.
"You want to join the light music club?" he asked. Something changed in his voice. "I'm Drey, the president of the light music club. If you want to join you have to prove you can play an instrument."
"I can play an instrument. I'm the bassist for Grojband." I said. His eyes widened with interest.
"You're Laney of Grojband? You look different since the last time I saw you at the Swedish festival."
I guess I did look different from back then. That festival was 2 years ago. My hair goes slightly past my shoulders now and there was less eyeliner on me.
"I'm only going to stick around if you can let me into the club." I said. I really need him to hurry up or else I lose my chance.
"Here's the application to join. This is going to be great!" Drey handed me the application and started doing what seemed like a happy dance. Maybe he's just having seizures. I didn't bother to check though because I was filling in the form.
Name: Laney Penn. Club: The light music club. Instrument: Bass. The reason however, made me pause. I just wanted to protect my Core, but that probably wouldn't sound good. I wrote down "I'm really excited about music" and shoved it into Drey's hands. He was still doing his seizures when I walked away.
The next morning Corey wasn't waiting for me again. I was getting seriously ticked off now. Kin and Kon found me with an angry look.
"Laney, you ditched us yesterday! We were waiting at the 'usual' but you never showed up!" Kin said angrily to me. I completely forgot about that.
"Sorry guys, I had to do something." I told them about joining the light-music club and the horrible dancer, Drey.
"We'll join too! It sounds fun!" Kon said excitedly. I smiled at that comment. We reached school, entered the classroom and sat down. Corey was already there, filling out a club application.
"Hey Core, watcha doing there?" I asked him. "Nothing really, just a club application." he mumbled back. Kon was about to say something until the bell rang. Mr. Logan came in with a large pile of papers.
"Everyone seated! Today we're going to choose a club to join. It's optional but it is recommended. Some of you have already applied yesterday so don't worry." He passed out the papers and led the class outside.
"Walk around the many booths set up by many clubs. Find the one you find best, fill out your application, give it to them, and wait for their answer tomorrow." Mr. Logan gave the class the command to begin. Everyone rushed out.
Kon and Kin dragged me away from the hordes of freshmen and into a small secluded corner.
"Let's go find the light music club!" Kon said happily. That guy is such a sunny person. We walked through all the clubs and finally found the one we were looking for. It was pushed to the side and only had a table with a badly drawn sign.
A guy I recognize as Drey saw me and waved me over. "Great to see you guys!" he said. He wasn't that childish dork I saw yesterday, he seemed so much more mature now. Back straight and polite manners. He gave Kin and Kon the applications and had a friendly talk with them. I didn't pay attention, I was too busy scanning for Corey and Michi.
"Hey Drey, where's Michi?" I asked him as he shook hands with the brothers.
"She's right over here." He said but when he turned to his side puzzlement chased out his smile. His muscles loosened and his mature demeanor melted off. "Where did she go?!" he asked himself. He panicked. Looks like I found out something to tease him about. I am such a detective sometimes.
"Come on, maybe she's still around here." I started walking into a grove of trees nearby the table. Drey started following me. Once we were out of ear-shot I decided to ask him.
"You like Michi don't you?" He looked at me like I was a bomb.
"How did you know? Did you stalk me?" He stopped and looked questioningly at me.
"It's pretty obvious you like her. It seems like you're much more mature around her because you act like a dork when she's not there." I was still looking around for Corey. My eyes found something and immediately hid behind a tree.
"What are you-" Before he can finish his sentence I dragged him over to the tree. With a finger to my lips I pointed to two people about 5 meters away from us. His eyes widened when he saw what I was pointing at.
I got a better look and my blood started boiling. A guy with an orange beanie was making out with a certain curled blonde. My heart deflated in that instance.
