Disclaimer: I own nothing. Except maybe my clothes but still...I wish I owned
School Of Rock but I don't so *pout* poor me. Lol.
Author's Notes: Well, I'm gonna try to do them justice. Please r&r...I'm begging you! Flames are accepted as long as you're nice...I'm a sensitive soul . I'm not gonna mention all the band member's names coz I kinda forgot the others. Sorry! This is gonna be short coz it's 12 already and I just felt like writing. (Hehe!) But please read on, I promise the next chapters will be better.ü
Summary: The band has been going strong for 5 years, all of them choosing to transfer to the same high school, Martin High. Needless to say, they rule the school. That is, up until a new girl joins their class. Can Freddy keep his title as the band's drummer? Read and find out.ü
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mrs. Kreeble was in the middle of an insanely dull lecture about the lifecycle of amoebas and the sophomore class of 2-A was in a stupor. Normally they would be chatting amongst themselves (Mrs. Kreeble was a bit deaf) or passing notes to each other, but there was something about the post-summer heat that made them all drowsy and lethargic.
Freddy was lazily drawing more flames on the cover of his binder, Katie was busy repainting her nails black, Summer was reading another book on managing, Zack was playing air guitar, once in a while mumbling incoherent notes with his feet on his desk and his chair tipped back on two legs, and the rest of them were either sleeping or gazing longingly outside.
Someone knocked at the door, and everyone looked up, silently grateful for the disruption. Zack lost his balance and crashed to the floor. Everyone started laughing at him.
Mrs. Kreeble went on with a rather graphic description of molecules.
Summer raised her hand.
Their teacher looked at her, her expression one of surprise.
'Maybe she forgot she had students,' Katie thought, grinning.
"Yes, Autumn?"
"It's Summer, ma'am," Summer corrected, looking a bit annoyed. From somewhere in the back Zack and Freddy snorted with laughter. She rolled her eyes. "There's someone at the door,"
Mrs. Kreeble turned towards the door, still wearing that absurdly surprised expression on her withered old face. "Oh, yes, yes. Right," She opened the door and a girl with long dirty blond hair and dark blue eyes stepped in. She handed the teacher a piece of paper and started twirling her hair around her finger. She looked like she would rather have had her arm ripped off than be there at that moment.
"Students, students, attention please,"
As if everyone wasn't listening anyway.
"We have a new student in our class. Please give a warm welcome to Miss Nicole Mathers,"
"Hi Nicole," Marta and Alicia called sarcastically, their voices high and falsely sweet. Laughter rang around the room.
"Call me Nic," the blonde muttered, staring down at her mary-jane clad feet.
"What a prep!" Katie whispered to Summer, and they both laughed.
Mrs. Kreeble, oblivious to everyone, told Nicole to go sit beside Freddy, as it was the only empty seat left in the room. At hearing this, Freddy slouched lower in his seat, arm draped around the back of the chair, trying to look tough.
Nicole rolled her eyes and swung her messenger bag off her shoulders. Her pins caught and reflected the morning sun. Katie's view of her went from 'total preppie' to 'total rocker'. Once in her seat, she glanced at Freddy then sighed, burying her face in her arms.
"This sucks," Nicole whispered to herself.
Zack, who was sitting in front of her, heard her and flashed her a smile. "Don't sweat it. It must be tough being new," he said, trying to be nice.
Nicole rolled her eyes again and sat up straight, then thinking better of it, bent down and pulled her binder out from her messenger bag. It was covered with stickers that read 'ARREST ME, I'M A SKATEBOARDER'; 'I LIVE TO ROCK' and 'WICKED'. She flipped it open and, surprisingly, started taking down notes on what Mrs. Kreeble was saying.
Zack shook his head and turned away, labeling her as a total weirdo.

It was dismissal, and the band members all met up in front of the school entrance, which was flocked by stone gargoyles. Katie was sitting on one of the gargoyles, reading a chapter from a book Summer was making her read. Summer was off flirting with Zack ('God those two are obvious' Katie thought absentmindedly) and Freddy was drumming his fingers on the underside of his skateboard.
"What did you guys think of the new girl?" Alicia asked out of boredom.
Katie looked up from her book. "Did you see her hair?" she cried, on the verge of laughter. "Talk about dumb blonde!"
"Hey!" Alicia cried indignantly.
"Your hair's not that stereotypical, Leese," Katie reassured her.
"Kind of reminded me of Christina Aguilera's hair, now that you mention it," Summer said thoughtfully, tapping her finger on her crimson lips.
Zack suddenly laughed. "Now that you said 'the name', I'll bet you anything that Freddy's gonna ask her out by the end of the week!"
Freddy looked up from staring at his shoes at hearing his name mentioned. "Huh? What about me?"
Everyone started laughing.
"Oh, nothing, Fred. We're just taking bets on how long it will take you to ask the new girl out," Billy replied sarcastically.
Freddy shot him a death glare. This made the others laugh even harder. "What makes you think I even like her?" he said angrily, shoving his hand into the pocket of his school slacks.
Zack punched him in the shoulder lightly. "Admit it, Fred. You go for any girl you think is hot," he said, shooting his best friend a semi-apologetic look to say it out in the open.
"Yeah," Katie chimed in. "I totally saw you putting on the bad-boy image when she was gonna sit beside you,"
"What bad-boy image?" Freddy asked, looking defensive and insulted.
"You know, when your face goes like this," Katie contorted her face so that her eyes were squinted and her lips were puckered up so that she looked rather like a pug. They all cracked up laughing.
Freddy slammed his skateboard down onto the pavement and swung his backpack over his shoulder. "I don't need this," he muttered, jumping on and skating away.
"Dude, where are you going!?" Zack called after him. "We have band rehersal today!"
Freddy didn't even look back but as he turned down the corner he flashed them a rather rude hand gesture.
Summer gave an indignant 'Ugh!' "He's such an asshole sometimes!" she said, crossing her arms over her chest.
Katie frowned. "Do you guys think he really does think she's hot?"
They looked up at her, not knowing what to say.
Tomika suddenly grinned and put a comforting hand on her thigh, which was the only part of her she could reach. "Don't worry, Kaye," she said, trying to sound confident. "He's gonna come around sooner or later, you just have to make it a bit more obvious,"
"A bit more obvious?!" Katie repeated, looking like she had just been run over with a truck. "I've known him since we were BABIES, for crying out loud! How am I supposed to make it more obvious that I like him?"
"Like him?" Zack repeated, ignorant of the situation. "Who does Katie like? Wait, who are we talking about again?"
Summer sighed, secretly loving how adorable he could be sometimes. "Nothing, Zack. Now lets get going! I don't want to be late for rehersals!"
