Note: Hey! Thanks for reading my fic!! To ahnigurL, Frankie is the big guy, one of the students in the movie. The one Dewey Finn called "Tough Guy" for security. Do you remember him now?
==============
Today, Dewey decided to pick up his students. He passed by for every one of them in his van to surprise them with the new place. Summer was already with him when he started picking them up.
"So Summer, how was school today?" Dewey asked excitedly as he swerved left to pick up Zack. Summer looked down and replied, "I hated it. I had my second day of detention and it was horrible. Miss Mullins made me write on the bored, 'I will never yell at a teacher never ever ever ever ever ever again.' I swear, Dewey, she's really stiff again." Dewey nodded and frowned, "Ah! That's okay, Summer! Wait till you see the new place. You won't be feeling down once we get there." Summer slouched on her seat and looked out the window.
The whole band was in the van already and they were finally there. Before they got out, Dewey said, "Okay guys, now don't faint or anything. I spent the whole two days fixing up, decorating and convincing Patty to work with us. Now, I want you all to know, Ned and I spent a lot of money for this and we don't want you all to start breaking everything you see. Get it?" And everyone answered, "Yes, Dewey." Dewey got out of the van and opened the back door of the van. Summer jumped out after a while and walked over to Dewey who said, "Okay, let's get in there. Follow me."
Dewey walked happily to the new place. He opened the glass doors before him and heard gasps behind his back. The album "The Razor's Edge" of AC/DC was being played and Patty was really behind the front desk wearing the School of Rock T-shirt designed by Dewey's groupies. Patty gave them a big smile and said like some kind of an automated machine, "Welcome to the School of Rock after school program. How may I help you today?" Dewey laughed and she glared at him, "What?" Dewey didn't like that tone so he simply pretended he didn't hear her, "Okay kids, this is the first floor, as I'd like to call the lounge area coz the place is so warm and nice.. Hehe. Now, let's go upstairs..." The kids followed Dewey up to the second floor.
"Oooh.." All the kids smiled. Rock 101 was really interesting. It looked pretty cool. Dewey tugged Zack's arm and said, "Okay. This is where Rock 101 will be." Ned was there fixing up some amps. He saluted them and they went straight on to the third floor. Dewey was really excited now. As they went up the stairs, he said, "This is my most favoritest part of the new place; our floor. C'mon, guys.." Dewey ran up the stairs to the third floor and he got what he expected. He looked at the band and they all had their mouths open. Dewey grinned, "Like it?" Katie ran to the guitar/bass rack and pulled out a Gibson Thunderbird. She smiled at it and asked, "Can I have it?" Dewey laughed then seriously answered, "No." Katie giggled at her silly question and everyone else started looking around.
[Now, let me give you a full description on the new place...]
The new School of Rock was big. It was three stories high and the first floor was actually an audition/registrar/waiting room. There was a spiral staircase going up to Rock 101 and an oak staircase up to Advanced Rock where the band practices. The first floor was bright and really homey. The front desk was made of oak with the School of Rock symbol carved on it. Behind the desk was a storage cabinet filled with guitar strings, keyboard, guitar, bass and drum pieces, four boxes packed with guitar picks and a hell lot more. There was always music being played in the first floor. They're either recordings by the kids over at Rock 101/Advanced Rock or some rock albums (especially albums of AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Motorhead and Led Zeppelin). In the second floor, Rock 101 was covered in many band posters and concert posters. There were guitar/bass racks filled with Gibson Les Paul's, Fender Squier's and Ibanez Jem's. There were about ten amps in the room in different sizes, all Marshall. There was a black Tama drum set with K Custom Zildjian cymbals. But the third floor was the best. The ceiling was black but it had stars painted on it making it look like the night sky. There were more posters than the room in the second floor and more guitars, basses and amps. There were also five microphone stands with wireless microphones on them. Of course, there was only one Tama drum set with more K Custom Zildjian cymbals but there was a stack of Vater and Vic Firth drumsticks in a cabinet beside it. There was also a recording studio there but it was bigger. There was also another staircase up to the flat roof.
The band was now practicing when suddenly, Ned came running in. "Dewey!" He cried and they all stopped playing, "Patty called me through the intercom and she said that Marcus is coming. He also doesn't look so happy." Dewey raised his eyebrows and answered, "Okay, fine. Get back downstairs and we'll just wait for Marcus to come up." Ned nodded and went back to the second floor where he was tuning some guitars.
After a couple of minutes, Dewey could hear heavy stomping and the ringing of chains over at the stairs. He saw Marcus come up. He looked angry for some reason. Sarah was with him wearing a black Lacuna Coil shirt and baggy black pants. Her hair was tightly tied back. She was also carrying her guitar around her back. It was in its case so they couldn't tell what kind of guitar it was Marcus said, "Finn! Here's my daughter. Teach her how to rock.. Now." Dewey gnashed his teeth and nodded. Marcus looked at his students and shook his head. He went down the stairs and left. Dewey looked at Sarah with a smile, "Hi! I'm Dewey Finn. The girl over there with the bass is Katie," Katie waved at Sarah, "The dude with the Gibson Flying V is Zack, the freak on drums is Freddy, our excellent keyboardist is Lawrence, and the three backing vocals there are Tomika, Alicia and Marta." Sarah nodded and asked, "Okay, so what am I supposed to do?" Dewey didn't really expect this one coming, "Uhh.. Maybe you can just sit here first. Listen to the band and we'll talk to you after this one song, alright?" Sarah nodded and Dewey led her to a sofa. Dewey turned away and they started playing Ironman by Black Sabbath (and since Ms. Gellar taught Freddy the correct way of playing it, he really nailed it).
After the song ended, Katie put down her bass and sat beside Sarah. "So, what do you play?" Katie asked. Sarah looked at her and answered, "Drums, Guitar and.." Katie stared, "And?" Sarah didn't reply but Freddy heard her, "So you play drums too, huh? Why don't you give it a try over there?" Sarah shook her head and answered, "I don't want to." Freddy raised an eyebrow and turned away. Zack came and asked, "Hi! Can I see your guitar?" Sarah handed the guitar and Zack opened it from its case. Inside, he found an Ibanez Iceman 2. His eyes widened and he said, "Where'd you get this? These are really expensive!" Sarah shrugged and replied, "My dad got it for me." Zack turned his head toward Dewey with a traumatized expression on his face. Dewey pursed his lips and said, "C'mon Sarah. What's that other instrument you know?" Sarah rolled her eyes and replied, "It's violin." Dewey nodded and added, "Why don't you play the drums for us. I mean, your dad was a drummer himself." Sarah scratched her neck and stood up towards the drum set. She pulled out a pair of black hickory drumsticks from one of her lower pockets and began playing. Freddy stared, "Wow..." He whispered to himself. Sarah was unbelievable. When she finished, she got up and Freddy asked, "How long have you been playing?!" She intelligently replied, "Ever since I was three, my dad taught me." Then Zack asked, "Hey, can you play something by Jimi Hendrix or Steve Vai?" Sarah nodded and picked up her Ibanez Iceman 2. She began playing a Steve Vai solo that he played in one of his concerts which she actually attended. Zack smiled, "Wow! That's so cool!" But Sarah didn't take the compliment. Dewey said, "That's good, Sarah. That's really good. I think you can take my place on shredding guitar. Is that cool with you?" Sarah shrugged, "Okay, whatever."
It was now six o' clock. Everyone already left except for Sarah. Dewey was turning off all the amps when he noticed she was still there. "Aint your dad pickin' you up?" Dewey questioned her. She shook her head. Dewey sat beside her on the sofa and asked, "Hey, where do you live?" Sarah answered, "Downtown.. Why are you asking anyway?" Dewey shrugged and replied, "Nothing. But isn't downtown far from here?" Sarah nodded and looked away. "What bands do you like?" She answered, "I like AC/DC."
"Only AC/DC?"
"No. I like Lacuna Coil. That's kinda obviously though.. I'm wearing the shirt. And well, I also like Korn, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, System of a Down and Static X."
"So you like metal? That kind of stuff?"
"Yeah, pretty much.. But then I'm more into violins. I love violin concerts but my dad never lets me go to those things."
"Yeah? Why not?"
"He thinks it's a waste of time."
Later on, Sarah and Dewey really got into talking when they realized it was already seven thirty. Sarah looked at her watch and said, "Hey, I gotta go. My dad will kill me if I'm late." Dewey nodded and let her go. He followed her down the stairs and waved her goodbye from the second floor. Ned was still in the second floor, now untangling cables. He looked at Dewey, "So how was Stone's daughter?" Dewey looked at Ned, "She's awesome. But she's really limited. Marcus doesn't let her do anything she wants to do."
Today, Dewey decided to pick up his students. He passed by for every one of them in his van to surprise them with the new place. Summer was already with him when he started picking them up.
"So Summer, how was school today?" Dewey asked excitedly as he swerved left to pick up Zack. Summer looked down and replied, "I hated it. I had my second day of detention and it was horrible.
