Chapter 5- A New Beginning

The girls looked at each other, and not a hint of anguish crossed their faces. Joanna was dead and they didn't give a fizzle.

"I never liked her," Kinki finally blurted out, "she was too… normal."

The others nodded their heads in agreement. They left the scene as if nothing happened. The police would probably deal with everything later.

The next day presided normally; nothing out of the ordinary except the usual weirdness surrounding the band room. The bodies were gone and no one spoke a word about it. All was peachy, except of course for the fact that people died the day before and no one seemed to know or care.

Then, on that crisp, April morning, the doors suddenly swung open, so fast that the familiar door squeak sounded more like a flute squeak rather than a clarinet squeak (yes, there is a difference.) In came two guys; rugged clean shave, jeans, not hanging under their butts, yet still very pimpish, and a white tee top. They looked identical; both were buff yet not so much as if on steroids. They wore slick shades and both had a pair of drumsticks on their right back pocket. The only difference was their facial structure. The one at the left was dirty blonde and had short hair, while the other had black hair, long enough to almost cover his eyes.

Stella and Kara were so love struck, they didn't notice the girl in the middle of the two guys losing her patience.

"Ahem, are you two in the drumline?" She asked.

"What?" Stella and Kara replied monotonously.

Lari pointed at the drumsticks in their hands.

"Oh yes, yea.. we are," Kara, was now back to reality, "who are you?"

Lari snapped her fingers and Cody handed her what seemed like a folder. Lari shuffled through a few papers and smiled when she located the right one.

"Ah yes, Kara and Stella, freshman and snare drummers age 15." She pointed to the two hot guys behind her, "These guys are Cody and Al. They're snare drummers too and umm…"

"Hey, monkey! Get in here!"

A rather tall fellow walked in, flooded with drum equipment. He was handsome, but not as hot as the other two.

"That's Thornbert, Thor for short, he's quite handy," Lari looked at her watch, "oh lookie here, time does fly when you're high, I must take leave. I have businesses to attend in the bathroom."

"Hey wait! Ummm, what do you play?" Stella asked.

"Sitar…" Lari twirled around in circles as she made her way to the lobby, "the magical sitar!"

The four of them stood there uneasily as they watched Thor disinfect the first two lockers of the locker room with Lysol.

"Ummm… that's our lockers," Cody swooshed his hair out of his eyes, "oh, and I think we might have a meeting after school about you know, important stuff."

They awkwardly said good bye to each other. The girls headed for the bathroom. They wanted to find out more about their male partners, and it seemed Lari knew them well.

As they opened the bathroom door, chaos surrounded them. About twenty girls crowded around the changing area of the bathroom. They could hear raspy noises over all the shouting of "Go! Go! Go!"

"What the fizzle?" Stella grabbed Kara and they tackled their way through the crowd towards the changing area.

"Oh snap! Look out!" Kara screamed, but it was too late. Five or six people, mounted on fast moving chairs, collided with Stella and Kara like a huge domino thingy. Everything went dark for them.
