Brown hair with blond streaks down to her chin, bright green eyes, pink t-shirt with a blue skirt. Lucky Day not wearing her vintage clothes? That can only mean one thing; Valentine's Day. The day of the year most of the girls go gaga for a card or some chocolates and flowers from a boy who just wants a fuck and a date for the day. The day of the year all the couples become even more over the top making out in the corridor left to right, holding hands and exchanging words which can be considered 'cute'. The day of the year single's who don't really care for the cards and gifts get pissed off and feel lonely due to all the lovin from majority of the school. And it has to be our school that decides 'Hey! Let's do a whole assembly about it!' Fucking school; why must our band leader decide we should perform for such a pointless day?
"Jess, stop going all gorm and be happy!" Lucky said in her usual cheery voice almost jumping up from the 'excitement' of this love day. Lucky is one of my best friends, it's pretty weird since we aren't exactly as alike as most best friends are. We have been best friends since middle school, she is the girly one of us two and I'm more the tomboyish one but of course today I wasn't in that form. Kenny had come to my house the previous day and picked out what I would have to wear for the performance, bloody brilliant. Note the sarcasm there. What has he got me wearing you ask? Black short skirt, knee length socks which are black and dark red in strips and a neon blue t-shirt which has some random pictures on it. Of course I changed it slightly; instead of wearing those little shoes he picked out I got my converse on and I've got my black hoodie as always. I turned to Lucky and shook my head sighing slightly.
"I just don't see the point in this depressing day" I said slowly seeing the music room just ahead of me. This is when I parted from Lucky, but not before seeing a site that actually made me frown. When relationships break up, I usually don't give a shit unless it's my friends. But this girl wasn't a close friend, we sat next to one another in Math's so I shouldn't care right? I can't remember her last name but it's Red. She was going out with Clyde and everyone knows Clyde is bad with breaking up with people. He could have picked another day to dump poor Red. Lucky just looked at me with a frown on her face, I shook my own head at the site and watched as Bebe went over to hug her.
"Go help her Luck, I gotta get to band practice I'll see ya in the audience" With that, Lucky walked over to the crying Red as I walked to the double doors kicking one open and walking in to see girls crowding around Kenny holding up chocolates and squealing. Stan and Craig were sat on the side watching. I leaned against the door and looked at the group of girls shaking my head slightly. How stupid. The nearest thing to stand on to make me taller than the girls was a stack of chairs. I climbed to the top, and got ready to scream.
"GET THE FUCK OUT NOW" I screamed pointing at the doors as the girls turned to look at me with a surprised look on their faces. I don't think any of them heard me kick the door open, god are they deaf? They all then began to mutter not caring what I said.
"Leave your fucking presents on the table and get the fuck out before I have to throw you out those doors head first" I shouted crossing my arms and smirking. They knew I would do it; so they did what I said and all walked out the doors. I turned back to Kenny once watching them all leave, he has his arms crossed and was standing on the table we usually sat around. Stan walked over to the doors locking them and then Craig walked over to looking up to where I stood.
"Need some help?" He asked smirking slightly. I went to say no, then realising how high up I really was. Damn.
"Please?" He nodded grabbing a few chairs and standing on them grabbing my hand and pulling me down onto the chairs also so we were both standing on the chair. He jumped off then I did the same walking over to Kenny and pulling him off the table. He pouted and crossed his arms looking almost angry. I couldn't help but laugh; like Kenny would care about any of those girls. He would just choose the fittest fuck 'em then leave 'em.
"Soo what song we doing?" I asked sitting on the table as Stan and Craig walked over raising a eyebrow at me. I didn't get why at first, then I saw a grin on Kenny's face; a perverted grin. What I was wearing.
"Kenny made me" I said rolling my eyes and grabbing the list of songs flicking through them. Great. Love songs. Most of them are cheesy and crappy and terrible and I hate them. Looks like I'll have to add some of my own. The others were watching me as I began to write down the names of some songs which I loved and wanted to play which had some mention of love in them. Kenny took the list off me looking through it and smirking showing Stan and Craig the list.
"Jess I love that song!" Craig said sitting next to me and high fiving me. I didn't know which one he meant, but at least someone was on my side.
"Which song Craig?" Stan asked still looking at the list. Kenny nodded sitting the other side of me watching Stan.
"Finders Keepers by You Me at Six" Craig said watching Kenny closely. I was doing the same, you can't be too careful when Kenny is sitting next to you after making you the previous day wear a short skirt to school the next day for the performance to the year. Kenny then slowly nodded pointing to the stage where all the equipment was. It was time to practice.

Damn I didn't think it would be this nerve racking. Stood behind the stage with Craig, Kenny and Stan all waiting for the teacher to shout our names; damn what if we screwed up or they didn't like us? I had changed the words to the song slightly but I don't think that would matter.
"Good Luck guys" Stan said hearing the teacher shout our names one by one. We all slowly walked onto the stage and I looked out to the audience. Our band name wasn't as good as we wanted it to be, but I still had to shout it out at the top of my lungs. I took a deep breath and saw Kenny nod to me.
"Hey! We're Teenage Disaster! Lets kick it!" I shouted stamping my foot starting the song.
~You've got a nerve, I wanna be your eyes, so that you can see what you've done. Finders Keepers, Well I guess it's a mess, Finders Keepers, And have another drink, and then think, Finders Keepers, Finders Keepers, And I bet, you guess, me right,
Giving me the cold shoulder,
Giving me the twice over that's not deserved.
And we'll talk, again when you're sober,
You say that I've got cold and our heat has gone.
I wanna be your ears, so that you can hear, everything that's been missing...
Will you keep me in line?
I like secrets,
Coz they keep me in line.
Old habits die hard, but I'm too young to die.
That you've made your bed so, why are we,
Still laying in it and I can barely sleep,
I can barely eat and it's been three whole weeks,
Since I heard you speak, Oh.
Sober today, feeding months and bills to break.
Oh, I love mistakes, especially ones you've made.
(I bet you're sorry)
Will you keep me in line?
I like secrets,
Coz they keep me in line.
Old habits die hard, but I'm too young to die.
(No..)
Finders Keepers,
The whole thing is a lie.
And you won't find him,
Coz he's too hard to find.
Take my advice, and only run a mile.
This one over.
You dig yourself a grave, everyday,
You're sober.
Do you see? What I mean?
Have your best interests written all over,
Me.
I could never be what you need.
Will you keep me in line?
I like secrets,
Coz they keep me in line.
Old habits die hard, but I'm too young to die.
The whole thing is a lie.
And you won't find him,
Coz he's too hard to find.
Take my advice, and only run a mile.
(You guessed me, bet you guessed me right)
I bet, you guess me right ..~
I opened my eyes and looked to see everyone standing up and cheering. I panted slightly and turned around smiling to the others and stepping back turning my head slightly grinning.
"You guys liked that?" I shouted putting the mic out letting the screams go through it. I nodded once and put it back on the stand seeing the others leave the stage waving and I did the same grinning to the others. I couldn't believe the reaction we were given by our school, I mean even the popular people were dancing to it. I jumped and hugged Craig then Kenny then Stan taking a deep breath as the boys high fived one another.
"Guys, we are so gonna get us some gigs!" I shouted putting my hand in as if to do a team lifting our arms thing. The others did put their hands in and we all lifted them up shouting. I wondered to myself, where would we next get a gig and who would give us one. I then had an idea, which was what got us up in the world and I'm proud of myself for thinking of it.
