Okay two things: I obviously don't own Phil of the Future. If I did I wouldn't be writing a fanfic I would be writing a script.
And I have never in my entire life seen Raise Your Voice so if anything is like the movie it's coincidental.
Thanks!
Phil suffered through an endless sleep and woke up the next morning to his roommates hitting his shoulder telling him it was time to get up.
Classes were to start the next day and today the students were going to meet in the chapel and sports tryouts and club sign-ups were that day.
Phil shuffled around his room. Keely couldn't really do drugs but by the way he knew her and the glassy eyed look he had seen in his girlfriend from all the way from the boys dorm, he knew something was wrong. He knew that thing was drugs; there was just a feeling in the pit of his stomach.
Phil saw Keely in front of the chapel and rushed over to her. He noticed Keely's skin looked pale and she kept grabbing her head like she had a migraine. Looking into her glazed-over eyes he saw how big her pupils looked, but worst of all he could smell it on her. That gave it away; the stench of marijuana.
During chapel the students saw all the teachers that were new this year and then they all joined in the school song.
"I have one final thing to say. Last night, when Ben, the groundskeeper, was making sure everything was locked up, he smelled son odor coming from the tunnels. He immediately told me about it and I recognized the stench as marijuana which is a not only prohibited drug but also an illegal one! We couldn't identify the students responsible for this but I hope you are warned: if we catch you, we will turn you in to the police and expulsion would be effective immediately. Other than that there are no more announcements so have fun at sports tryouts! And don't forget, you need to take two years of physical education here, and Marching Band does count as a gym credit! Good luck! You are dismissed." said Dean Emerson.
Keely felt so uncomfortable during the assembly when the dean started talking about drugs. She hid it though; the new teachers couldn't know.

Phil walked up to Keely with a smile. He decided not to bring up the drugs directly and when he did it was better to wait a little while until it blew over.
"What are you so happy about, babe?" Keely asked.
"I think we should join drum line." Phil said.
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah! It counts as a gym credit and a sport so I think we should do it!"
Keely agreed. It did actually sound fun. And, she could read music already because of guitar and Phil had a few years on the drum set. It actually sounded reasonable. And fun.

Keely showed up for drum line practice wearing Bermuda shorts, a t-shirt and sneakers. She was going to audition for bass drum and so was Phil.
Keely stood behind the first bass drum, which was the littlest, and Phil was two behind her. She picked up the mallets and the started doing eight on a hand (A/N that is exactly what it sounds like-you play 8 eighth notes on one hand and 8 eighth notes on the other and keep alternating), which she picked up right away. They started doing sixteenth note splits (A/N they are sixteenth notes in which each bass drum usually only plays 4 sixteenth notes in the whole thing. I.e. one bass drum will play 1E and the next one +A and the next one 2E and the next one +A and then it goes back to the beginning for 3E+A 4E+A).. Then they got the music for Platinum, and it threw Keely off. She was playing the first bass drum and that just happened to be the one that had the most parts in this song. The first two measures, which were in unison, she did good on and then when they started breaking off she got confused and kept messing up.
She felt terrible but Phil kept helping her learn it in between when they were playing and when the instructor was talking to someone else. In the end, Keely realized it was everything she hated about music. But stuck with it for Phil and because it was too late to audition for anything else.

"The following people made drum line." said the instructor.
Okay so I know this was a weird chapter and I promise I won't focus on drum line, but I just made drum line and was so excited so I wanted to write a chapter about it. It will get back to normal and I think I know where I am going with this, and some of the stuff in this chapter I needed for future chapters. So I'll stop rambling now and let you review. :D
