Now the beginning of this chapter follows what I used to do with the guitarist of my old band. Playing and singing along to Slipknot. I loved studying Music at college so much. Ironically, my boyfriend at the time, also played bass. But I would kill to have a guitarist like Craig.
The songs used are Duality; Vermilion; and Vermilion, Pt 2. I don't own anything by Slipknot. Mmkay?
I own Magdaléna Emílie Courtney-Burgen and that is all.
Chapter 7
"You okay?" Craig asked Alena during Music.
Alena look up from the piece of music she was trying to sightread and almost flung her head down on the piano.
"I just wanna go home." She whined.
Craig nodded,
"It is Friday afternoon."
Alena sighed,
"Wanna go though the Slipknot piece one more time?"
Craig picked up the acoustic guitar and started to strum while Alena tapped the time on the top of the piano with a silver fingernail and played the melody and bass on the piano.
Craig nodded for Alena to start singing.
In a low, rich, British accented voice, Alena sang the lyrics to Vermilion, Pt. 2 with Craig singing harmony.
At the end off the song, Craig set down the guitar.
"That was good." He said.
"I wouldn't mind doing the other version of Vermilion." Alena smiled before launching into song.
"Can't say what caught my attraction!
Fixed, crazy, aphid attraction
CARVE MY NAME IN MY FACE!
To recognise!
SUCH A PHEROMONE CULT!
That's full of lies!"
Craig gave a half-smile before pulling out his iPod and tossing it to Alena who happily plugged it into the speaker.
The harsh, yet pure voice of Corey Taylor filled the tiny room.
"Get an electric plugged in and I'll grab a bass from somewhere." Alena grinned.
She went into every practice room, looking for a bass guitar, but no avail.
She knocked on the door of the final room and stuck her head round.
Kyle and some other kid, called Sam, were having a cheeky jam with an electric and drums.
"Boys!" Yelled Alena over the noise. "You got a spare bass?"
The boys nodded and pointed to a scratched black bass.
"Also if you're not doing anything, wanna play some Slipknot with Craig and I?" Alena added.
Kyle nodded and Sam's face lit up.
"Which one?" He asked.
"Craig's currently jamming to Duality." Alena grabbed the bass and the lead.
Sam jumped up and ran off.
Kyle slowly unplugged the guitar and slowly turned off the amp.
"What's up, babe?" Alena asked
"I don't know many Slipknot songs." He confessed. "Only the bass for Vermilion."
"We can play Vermilion, you can play bass and I'll play guitar." Alena smiled gently. "Come here," She brought him closer for a quick kiss.
As Alena watched as her boyfriend walking away, her smile faded.
Kyle, Sam, Craig and Alena played Vermilion constantly for the rest of the lesson. Kyle had no idea that Craig could sing, and Alena dominated the room when she sang the clean vocals.
Kyle couldn't help but feel jealous at how perfect Craig and Alena worked together. Their hands moved in tandem, eyes locked as they battled during the solo and the harmony bits.
At the end of the session, the teacher knocked on the door and asked if they could stop "being amazing and tidy up."
Kyle stood beside Alena and poked her hip.
"Where did that come from, you and Craig? Where did you learn how to sing like that?"
"I just taught myself," was all Craig said.
"England." Alena said "It's relaxing, therapeutic, you release a lot of stress by screaming if you do it properly."
Kyle had brought his stuff for the party with him to school so they went straight to Alena's house.
As Alena lead Kyle into the house, she said:
"I should give you a proper tour."
Kyle allowed himself to be shown the kitchen, the living room, the bathroom and her room.
"Mom says that we're all welcome to eat anything." Alena smiled, removing her coat and scarf.
Kyle's face lit up.
"Anything at all?"
Alena laughed.
Typical. The main thing on a boy's mind will always be food.
"Yes, anything." She said "Mom even went shopping last night."
"I love your mom." Kyle smiled.
"More than me?" Alena winked.
"Can I get back to you on that one?" Kyle said, before ducking to avoid Alena's hand.
"You're so mean, Kyle." Alena pouted.
Kyle smiled gently.
"I was joking, Alé. I love you."
Alena smiled.
"Thanks Kyle." She pressed her lips to the corner of his mouth "So what do you wanna do?"
"Can I not just sit with my lovely girlfriend?" Kyle took Alena into his arms.
Alena frowned.
"Just sit? That it? In silence?"
"You don't like just lying around and relaxing?" Kyle raised an eyebrow.
"Not really, I'm too busy to relax." Alena shrugged.
Kyle took Alena's hand and lead her into the living room. He sat on the couch and pulled his girl on her lap. Alena lay her head on his chest and closed her eyes.
The two teens napped peacefully. Until the doorbell rang. Kyle jolted awake so violently that Alena fell off his lap.
"Broflovski, you arse!" Alena stood up and rubbed said behind. "That hurt, you moron."
"I jumped." Kyle retorted rather defensively. "Go and answer the door."
"Why do I have to it?" Snapped Alena. "Just because I'm a woman!"
"It's YOUR house!" Kyle replied.
Alena paused.
Kyle could see her brain working. He knew her well enough to know that she was looking for a counter argument. Alena Courtney didn't like being beaten.
"FINE!" She yelled, before storming off.
Kyle stood up and yanked the ushanka straight. Alena may like his crazy Jew-fro, but Kyle still hated it.
The sounds of Alena's loud laughter came closer along with the muffled voice of Kenny.
"Hey, Kyle," waved Kenny, "I heard yelling, is everything alright?"
"Oh! Kenny, guess what?" Cried Alena.
"I hate guessing games." Grumbled Kenny.
"Kyle and I are going out!" Alena beamed. "But you can't tell ANYONE just yet."
"Why did you tell Kenny?" Asked Kyle. "I thought it was a secret?"
"It is. Between the three of us, no one else knows." Shrugged Alena.
"When you gonna bed the lady?" Kenny slung an arm around Alena's shoulder.
"Quit it, Kenny." Kyle grabbed Alena's wrist and pulling her against him. "You know I don't do that shit."
"Oh, yeah, you're still a virgin." Replied Kenny, rolling his eyes.
Alena supressed the urge to laugh at Kenny's tone. He sounded like such a girl.
"Seriously, dude, drop it." Kyle was getting seriously annoyed.
"Hey, it's okay, Ky." Alena pressed her lips to Kyle's cheek. "And Kenny, I don't care if I have to wait until I'm married before fucking Kyle. We can still have fun until then."
Kenny winked at Alena.
"If you wanna wait that long, then good luck. The sexual tension between you two is unbelievable."
Kyle shot his friend a look.
"Whatever."
Alena rolled her eyes.
"Kenny, dump your stuff in my room, at the far end of the hall."
"Also where's your bathroom?" added Kenny.
"The second room." Alena added
Kyle gave a long sigh as Kenny walked off.
Alena chuckled
"Is he always like that?"
"Kenny?"
"Yeah."
"Yeah."
"Oh."
Alena started to chew on her nail. Kyle slapped her hand away instantly.
"It's bad for you." He muttered.
Alena shot her boyfriend a look.
"Yeah, well, you do things that are bad for you." She wrapped her arms around his neck
Kyle raised both eyebrows.
"What do you mean."
"Me." Alena smiled at him. "I'm bad for you."
"And?" Kyle nuzzled his face into Alena's neck.
"I love you." She whispered.
Kyle kissed Alena passionately and held her close. His hat was thrown across the living room as Alena sunk her hands into his ginger curls.
"Why are you so damn adorable?!" She rested her forehead against his.
Kyle closed his eyes.
"Because I have a drop dead gorgeous girlfriend." He replied.
Alena tightened her grip round his neck.
"What will happen if we tell people about us?"
"They'll be fine. My mom won't like it, but I suppose our friends will be alright. Stan thinks we have the hots for each other."
"He's right." Alena pressed her lips to Kyle's once more.
The doorbell rang.
"I don't wanna get it." Alena smirked, laying her head on Kyle's chest.
Kyle let go of Alena and she pouted. He laughed and kissed her mouth gently.
"Who is it?" He yelled
"We have candy!" replied Cartman.
"And video games!" Added Stan.
Alena turned to her boyfriend.
"Sorry, lovely," she smirked, "if you love food more than me, then I love video games more than you."
"No!" yelled Kyle louder than he had wanted to.
"If you don't want video games and candy then we can go back home!" Stan called.
"STAN! I'LL LET YOU IN!" Alena ran over to the door.
As soon as she unlocked the door, Kyle grabbed Alena and shook her.
"You take that back!" He yelled.
Stan and Cartman stared as Kyle shook Alena, who was now giggling heavily.
"Ky," Alena smiled, "we have guests."
Kyle's eyes widened before turning around to stare at Stan and Cartman.
"Uh, hi guys." He let go of Alena like she was red hot.
"What should Alena take back?" Cartman had one of his 'oh-ho-ho-you-are-so-busted' looks on his face.
"I called Kyle's mom a bitch." Alena smirked.
Kyle glared at Alena, who shrugged.
"Just saying." She smirked harder.
"Anyway, candy and video games?" Kyle turned to his best friend.
"Who wants Assassin's Creed?!" Stan waved the sacred box in the air.
Alena's eyes widened.
"Three?"
"Yup, you haven't played that one yet, have you?" asked Cartman.
"Connor, what a freaking babe." Alena closed her eyes and rocked back and forth.
Stan handed Alena the game, who then took off into the living room with Cartman on her heels.
Stan and Kyle who stood in the middle of the kitchen.
"So," Stan smirked at his super-best friend, "you and Alena? You were touching her."
"We were just messing around." Kyle rolled his eyes. "There's nothing going on."
"I called round your house to see if you wanted to walk round with me and Ike said that you were already with Alé." Stan nudged Kyle. "You two doing anything you're not supposed too?"
"We watched a bit of T.V, talked for a while." Kyle shot Stan a look. "Kenny's here too unless he's fallen in the toilet."
"That's not very nice." Came Kenny's voice behind Kyle.
Both Stan and Kyle jumped.
Alena stood there, grinning.
"Did you just?" Stan gaped.
"I did an impression of Kenny." Grinned the girl."It's not that hard. I can just do impressions."
"That's amazing!" Cried Stan, "Do me! Do Kyle!"
Alena smirked before lowering her voice.
"'Shut up, Cartman, you fatass'!" She yelled in a perfect impression of Kyle.
"Fuck you, Kyle!" Cartman yelled from the living room.
"Fuck me." Kenny appeared in the hallway. "That's brilliant."
"Do Cartman." Kyle gave a very malicious looking smile.
"Oh God." Alena frowned. "Uh, 'screw you guys, I'm going home'?"
"That's brilliant." Laughed Stan.
"I can do Wendy too!" Said Alena. "'Hi, Stan'!"
Kenny made the sound of Stan vomiting causing Kyle to laugh.
"And I can do Clyde!" Alena laughed "'Jeez, Alé, I do love tacos'."
Kenny laughed harder as Alena said in her normal voice:
"But tacos make you fat."
"'NO, THEY DON'T'!" Alena cried in Clyde's voice. "'DON'T SAY THAT'!"
Stan thought he was gonna cry.
"Do me!" He asked between gasps.
"Uhh." Alena thought hard. "'No, Dad, I'm not going to get you another beer. Your hand hasn't fallen off, you've got pins and needles."
At that the whole room exploded into a mass of laughter.
"That is so my dad." Stan laughed.
"Holy...crap...Alena..." Kyle gasped, "That...was...amazing!"
"I love you, Alé." Kenny had to grip Alena's shoulder to support himself. "Marry me."
"I'm betrothed to Craig." Came Alena's jokey reply.
"Hey, I saw something going on in music." asked Stan "Was that romance in there?"
"Nah, it was Clyde's butt." Kyle said so seriously that everyone collapsed into laughter again.
"Aww, I love Clyde and his love affair with Mexican food." Alena wiped a stray tear from her eye, "I love all of you. Kenny is most possibly the most perverted guy on the planet, Stan is so normal that it hurts, Cartman is a fat bloke who plots crazy schemes that somehow manage to work sometimes and Kyle is my little ginger Jew."
"He's also half Jersey." piped up Cartman joining the four teens in the kitchen, "also, I'm not fat."
"And I don't have boobs." Alena countered also instantly. "But really? Who's the New Jerseyite?"
"My mom." Replied Kyle.
"The three Js." Cartman shook his head. "Three strikes."
"Ginger doesn't begin with a J." Alena pointed out as Kyle clenched his fists.
"Fuck you, asshole!" He yelled.
"Kyle, calm down." Alena placed a hand on Kyle's arm, but he pushed her away.
"I've taken so much of your crap! Too much!" He continued, stepping forwards towards Cartman.
"Kyle!" Stan tried to step forwards, but Kenny stopped him.
"What are you gonna do?" Taunted Cartman.
Kyle pounced on Cartman and began to wrestle with him.
"Oh my God!" Alena squealed as Cartman punched Kyle in the face repeatedly.
Kenny walked forwards and grabbed the back of Cartman's jacket and physically pulled him away from Kyle, who now lay on the floor, bleeding heavily from a split lip.
"Oh Kyle!" Cried Alena, helping him up as Cartman shrugged out of Kenny's grip.
"Eh, he fucking deserved it." Grumbled Cartman.
At that, Kyle stormed off down the hallway.
Alena shot Cartman a look and went after Kyle, calling his name.
"You did it to bring them together, right?" Asked Stan to Cartman.
"Yeah, whatever." Shrugged Cartman.
Kyle sat on the lid of the toilet and put his head in his hands.
Alena stuck her head round the door.
"Hey," she said gently.
"Leave me alone, Alenka." Kyle mumbled into his hands, but Alena walked and closed the door behind her.
"Kyle," Alena knelt on the floor of the bathroom and looked up at him, "Ky, look at me, love."
Kyle didn't move.
Alena moved Kyle's hands from his face and wiped her thumb along his lips.
Kyle watched as Alena licked the blood off and went in for a gently kiss.
Alena kissed back.
"You gonna be okay, honey?" She asked as they pulled away.
"I don't know. I have a headache and I don't know if I can take Cartman picking on me." Kyle took Alena's hands.
"We have some ibuprofen and you and I both know that you can take Cartman on." Alena smiled gently.
Kyle kissed Alena again and this time, he pulled her onto his lap.
Alena wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled against the kiss.
"You love me, yeah?" Asked Kyle, "Enough that we can stand by each other?"
"Of course," Alena replied, "you silly moron."
