SIDE NOTE: I love these side note thingies! Lmao. Notice how childish I am. Okay..! This chapter is not really thought up. So bare with me!
CHAPTER 8: Milky Hair and Mixed Emotions
Later that day, when the rest of the band had got to practice, they all noticed Melody zoned-out on the blanket. Wondering what had happened, they all turned to Freddie for answers. All he said was that she was real stressed and miserable and she was tired. "It's not big. Stop exaggerating." Was his repeated response to almost everybody. And that was it.
But they didn't believe Freddie when he said she was just tired and went out. "You did something to her. Didn't you?" Summer asked suspiciously. He shook his head and turned to Dewie, who looked at him helplessly from a seat. Freddie gave him a "get-practice-on-please" face.
"COME ON, gang!" Dewie shouted over the gossiping of the teenagers. He walked over to his microphone stand and turned it on by a small switch. "Places, peoples, places," he spoke into the device, making his voice echo, "Rehearse Zack's song. The NEW song; "Crowd's Power." Yeah..." Dewie started mumbling to himself while the others went to get to their instruments or microphones.
Everyone was ready when Dewie shouted, "READY?" Everyone nodded. "READY; 1-2-3-GO!"
With that, a slow lead guitar rhythm started flowing throughout the room. It was followed by the bass guitar, drums, and Dewie and his guitar.
'One day I wake up,
Thinking of what happened yesterday
And then the sound
Of the breaking cup
Broke my memory'
Dewie broke out for a five second solo and then continued signing, followed by Lawrence and the keyboards.
'Sometimes I think
Like it was all a fantasy
Like when it happened
With you and me
But this time it was real
Because of how I feel
When the crowd's power
Was the only thing I could ...
Everything was running smooth until Melody rolled over on her stomach and let out a loud, heavy sigh. It was overheard from the loud sounds of the band, even, making School of Rock stare down at her. She looked up, befuddled, at all of the blurred figures. Melody abruptly shut her open mouth and sat up. All the band (besides Alex who wasn't there) looked down at her.
"Ummm...what time is it?" Melody asked sheepishly.
"Almost 6:00, kid. You've been there almost an hour now. Get up and go home." Dewie said with such an irritated tone he made Melody growl.
The brunette got up and caught her balance. Everything was coming back to sight now and she sat down and shook her head. Images of Freddie were running through her mind, so she glanced at him to see what he was doing. He was just sitting on the drum stool, staring over at her, emotionless. Her glance attention went back to the band.
She regretted it though, because the other band members became even more suspicious.
"Hey Dew, go easy on the girl. She needs rest." Tomika suggested with her sweet voice. It was a truly nice comment, but Mel protested and shook her head no.
"I'm fine, really. Weird thoughts running through my mind though. I'm really okay, though, really. I am." She hesitated and then continued. "I actually feel better. In a good way." She smiled for the first time in weeks, making everyone feel more confident that it wasn't Freddie's fault.
"Okay then, chick. If anything is wrong, tell us." Dewie stated and Melody. Then his attention swayed over to Freddie. "Hey man, sorry for accusing you and all. And, uh, do you mind if Mel practices the drums on the song?" Freddie shrugged and swapped spots with Melody.
"Same song, "Crowd's Power." READY?!" He asked; the band nodded and prepped their instruments. Melody was ready to start banging on the drums and jamming. "READY, 1-2-3-GO!"
And the song started over. Melody seemed as if she were having a blast. She was smiling and getting into the song. Freddie even thought he saw her laugh for a second. All this was such a change for Freddie. He was use to the depressed, bawling Melody for weeks. Now she acting as if she were better than ever.
After practice Melody walked home with Zack since Freddie had to right to his younger sister's choir recital. Freddie hadn't talked to Melody at all at practice. And Mel and Zack thought it strange how Freddie seemed to avoid Melody especially.
"Do you remember anything that happened? Before you passed-out? I'm sure Spazzy remembers; he was so quiet and looked like he had something on his mind. And everyone thought he did somethin' to you." Zack caught his breath then continued. "Anything happen between you two?"
Melody shook her head in confusion.
"All I remember was a something REALLY sweet that he told me. I think I now feel like someone cares about me. So," Melody smiled shyly, "I guess that's why I feel better now."
"Wad he say?" Zack asked, needing to know things about his bestfriend.
"Well I said my life was a living hell. He said, 'Well, whenever I'm with you I feel like I'm in Heaven.'" And I guess I just blacked-out after that. It was weird, because he kinda like saved me from my little "dark" place."
"Wooooow. Sweet Spazzy McGee? And he gave you the name Punk-Ass...weird."
"Well, I'm Punk-Ass and he's Spazzy McGee. I could call him Sassy McDonald." Both laughed at her joke. "Of course, I'm not THAT cruel. Well, not yet anyways."
By this time, they had arrived at Alex's house where Mel was going to stay again. Melody and Zack said their good-byes. The young lady entered the house and shouted, "Hey everyone! I'm home!" Alex came around a corner and saw Melody without tears. Both smiled and Melody told Alex the whole story. Since she kept her the rest of the conversation with Freddie from Zack, she told it to Alex.
"Awww, so sweet. But he avoided you afterwards?" Alex asked, having a happy but confused feeling in her voice.
"I think he didn't really realize what he had told me. PLUS, he knows he did make he feel a whole hell better than back 'then.'" Melody smiled and Alex gave her a bear hug.
"I'm glad you're back to your normal self. It's awesome." Alex commented.
"Me too, me too." Melody said. Both headed up to their rooms to go to bed. The next day they had school and it would be a long day for Melody, since she had tons of work needed to be done.
The next few days Melody was busy with tons of 9th grade work. She sometimes had to bring homework to band practice and finish it before School of Rock started. And Mel never had any time to hang out after practice or school with her friends. But she needed to keep her grade up.
"Okay, Mel, you have nothing left to do...right?" asked Alex, fully dressed in school uniform at lunch one day. The teachers were fed up with the extra style in her wear and told her to where the uniform properly or she'd get expelled. The same went for Melody. Both followed their teachers orders.
"Actually, no, I don't. But I like need to really talk to Freddie." Melody replied, poking and prodding her contaminated taco with a straw. Alex growled and glared over two tables to where Freddie was sitting with Zack and more boys.
"WHY?!" Alex hissed angrily. "Freddie and you ain't together...so why are you making such a big deal out of him avoiding you?"
"Well," Melody snapped, "at least he's the guy I feel most comfortable around." She hesitated and then added, "Did I say guy? Oh, I meant the ONLY human I feel comfortable around!"
"How bout you stop being so freaking dramatic and trying to get attention. You need to grow up, Mel!"
"Sorry, but I was never taught properly to 'grow up.'"
Melody knew she was being dramatic and acting like a kindergardener. She stood up, opened her small milk carton, and dumped it over Alex's head. Alex let out an angry and cold shriek, stood up, and gawked at Melody. The milk made her hair look like a soaking mop. And now the whole cafeteria stared at the two girls in silence.
Summer tugged at Mel's arm and hissed, "SIT! You're going to get in trouble —"
"Get the hell off me, Summer!" Melody growled, pulling her arm away. She took one more glance at Alex, took her tray, and headed towards the trash. She slammed the tray of barely-eaten food into the trash barrel and headed to her locker.
The angry brunette walked indignantly down the main hall towards her locker. She hurriedly turned and twisted the lock and pulled it open. Inside we were backpack, a few school books, and binder. She grabbed her music book and binder then shut the locker door shut with a light tap. Then she continued down the hall and took a sharp left, running into Freddie. She jumped back and let out a frightened sigh.
"I wasn't expecting you, Freddie. Sorry," Melody mumbled to him, staring at the school floor. He nodded and looked at his watch.
"Lunch isn't even half over with yet," he stated. The girl looked up at him and shrugged.
"I guess I wasn't hungry." Melody shrugged once again. She walked around him and started heading for them music room. But Freddie caught up, grabbed her shoulder, and turned her around easily.
"What's up with you and Alex?"
Melody stared up at Freddie with her green-blue eyes. She felt small and helpless around him. But then again, it felt as if he was calming her down. She blinked. Seconds later he blinked. And this continued forever, until the bell rang.
"Time for class. Later," Melody said, snapping out of her trance. Freddie let go of her shoulder and she went off to music class.
Freddie said nothing to either Mel or Alex at music. Both girls were sitting at opposite sides of the room, silent with anxiety. Freddie knew that both girls were upset at what had happened, but he couldn't do anything. He tried to talk to Alex, but she was still exaggerating over her soppy hair. And Melody sat by her drums, spinning the sticks with her fingers, having a pondering look on her face.
