Scrapbook
This is my first fic, even though I've been reading all the other stories for ages, so hope this is ok!
Disclaimer: I own School of Rock!! Bet you didn't see that one coming. I don't really. I own nothing but the dvd and my old french book with my story in it. That's all, sadly enough.
Chapter 1: When Groupies Attack
Katie picked up a box from the bottom of her closet. It was labelled 'Band Stuff'. She smiled. It had been three years since Summer's wedding, and the last time School of Rock had all been together, but they still kept in touch with one another. Now she was moving from New Jersey to a suburb nearby and she had to clear out all her old things. Including this box of 'Band Stuff'. On top of the heap of things inside it was an old notebook. The front cover was the sheet music to School of Rock's first song. It was a scrapbook that she had kept from the beginning of Middle school until the end of High School. She pulled it out and opened it.
On the first page there was an old picture of her first day of middle school. Her mother had a tradition of taking a photo on the first day back every year. Underneath she had written 'Before the attack of the crazy girls'...
FLASHBACK
Katie and Freddy approached their new junior high and started towards the front steps. Suddenly, they saw a group of girls, mostly cheerleaders sitting in front of the school stand up, blocking them. They all had School of Rock T-shirts on over their school shirts. The one at the front screamed,
'Get them, girls!' As if in slow motion, the group of crazy fans leapt off the steps and towards the two band members.
Freddy and Katie dropped their bags, which were quickly seized and torn apart by the girls, then turned around and sped away from the school as fast as they could. After running down a busy street, and losing the crowd of girls behind some Japanese tourists, they quickly ducked into an alley. In the distance they heard a high-pitched female voice scream,
'Katie!!!! I just want to be your friend!' and then another squeal of 'Hey! I think I can smell them! The clothes I took from Freddy's gym locker last year smell like this guy on the corner! Hey, Fred- Augh!!!!'
Katie and Freddy had been friends before School of Rock and were both still not used to the attention they got just by being in a band. They froze as thundering footsteps were heard, and saw a huge crowd of girls, chased by a homeless man and his dog, run past the entrance of the alleyway. They got up, and ran back to school.
It had been a strange way to start the school year, and they found, upon arrival at their class, that they had not been the only ones ambushed by groupies. In fact, Zack didn't actually make it into school that day.
END FLASHBACK
Ok, that's the end of the first chapter. I know it's short, but I think the rest of it gets better. I hope so, anyway. Please review!
