Chapter 8: All Screwed Up Part 2
"Band meeting right now!" Dewey shouted as they moved away from the TV, forming a circle in one side of the room.
"Look, I don't know how this all happened but its really really ugly and I'm pissed off!!!" Dewey said furiously.
"That Michael has obviously something to do with all this!" Freddy said hotly.
"Do you know anything about this, Katie?" Eleni asked carefully.
"No! I swear to God, I don't!" Katie said hoarsely as tears start falling down her cheeks. She was shaking in disappointment and at the same time, anger.
"C'mon let's talk about that later! We need to think of what to do!" Summer said desperately.
"We have to change our song, it's the only way!" Dewey said.
"But what about the hard work we poured out on rehearsing that goddamn song?!" Zack said furiously.
"I know, Zack! But man, we can't play the same song." Dewey said. The guitar solo came on the TV screen and they watched Chester, doing a perfect imitation of Zack's solo. "See? He even copied you!"
"But what song are we going to play?" Lawrence asked calmly.
"How about Long Way to the Top?" Alicia suggested.
"What are you talking about, Alicia, that was ages ago!" Dewey screamed.
"Stiff Upper Lip?" Frankie said.
"We haven't finished that one!"
"How about Smoke on the Water? I mean, aside from Highway to Hell, we practiced that one, though only once or twice." Zack said.
"Alright. You guys, Smoke on the Water. I know you guys know your parts just give your best shot! Let's show them what we've got alright!" Dewey said trying hard to encourage everyone despite of the tensed atmosphere.
The crowd roared as Smoke ended their performance. They got in the backstage again, approaching Dewey and the others.
"Enjoyed the show?" Alan said tauntingly, before the 4 of them walked away and went to Theo.
"C'mon guys. We can do this. We're gonna kick ass!"
Dewey and the others entered the stage and the audience went wild once again. Katie forced a smile while Freddy couldn't wipe off the stiffness on his face.
"Um, We're School of Rock. And we are going to do a version of a Deep Purple classic, Smoke on the Water." Dewey said. The audience howled and cheered, as Zack began playing the intro.
At the backstage, Theo and his band watched closely as School of Rock made their performance.
"Well what do you know? They changed their song." Theo said grinning devilishly. Chester and Damon laughed hysterically.
But there was something wrong with their performance. Freddy was still very angry that he hit the drums too hard; Zack was very stiff, his eyes still had the cold and sharp look he had earlier; Katie tried hard to focus on her chords difficultly; Lawrence managed to give the audience a smile, but his nervousness made him forget his chords on a certain part of the song; the back-up singers were jittery as well that their choreography turned out unsynchronized. Then Zack's solo came up. He moved a little though not really feeling the song. The audience's noise died down as they watch them perform. Dewey knew right away that they sucked but he still kept his spirited attitude on stage. The song ended and the audience gave them a warm applause. Dewey and the others exited the stage with sour looks on their faces.
"C'mon guys! It wasn't that bad!" Theo said sarcastically.
Dewey ran to Theo, grabbing him around the collar. "What do you want from me huh? Why are you doing this? You screwed me once before and now you're doing it again. What the hell is your goddamn problem, you bastard?!"
"Hey, hey get your filthy hands off me!" Theo got hold of Dewey's hand, pushing it away.
"And now the moment we have all been waiting for. I'm here to announce the 6 lucky bands to be entering the finals of 2004 Summerblast Battle of the Bands which is going to be held on August 6th, two weeks from now, on the same venue." Prudence paused then continued. "On 6th place, congratulations to the School of Rock!"
The audience applauded. Dewey felt a little bit lighter now that they're entering the finals but Freddy and Zack weren't happy at all. If there was one thing Freddy hated, that was being stabbed in the back.
'The Antagonists' came in fifth followed by the all girl group 'Pluto's Agony' in fourth. 'The Flop' came in third and 'Crude Oil' in second.
"And in first place, congratulations to Smoke!"
The crowd went wild as the band Smoke came out the stage once again. Dewey and the others felt so angry and disappointed. That was their song. That was their performance. They should've won first place.
"Dewey, what happened?" Ms. Mullins entered the backstage and ran towards them.
"It's a long story, Ross." Dewey said disappointedly.
"C'mon, Dewey. There's still finals. We just won first, that's no big deal. Besides, it's not our fault that we were way better than your stupid band! And---"
Before Theo could finish, Dewey flew a fist right onto Theo's right eye.
"Take that, you nasty, little piece of shit." Dewey said, walking away. Ms. Mullins followed him. Damon, Chester and Alan crowded around their knocked- out band manager.
"Hey, Freddy!" Michael said tauntingly as he approached Freddy. Freddy glared at him furiously. "Man, what happened to you out there? I thought you were a good drummer. But it turns out I'm so much better."
"You don't know who you're talking to, jackass!" Freddy pushed Michael hard.
"Freddy!" Katie held Freddy's arm, stopping him.
"After all he's done to you, you still take his side? Dammit, Katie, wake up!" Freddy said, shaking her hand off his arm as he walked out of the backstage. Katie was about to follow him when Michael suddenly addressed her.
"Hey Katie." Michael said, giving her an obvious, fake smile.
"Michael, why are you doing this? I thought you were my friend." Katie said.
"The lesson here, Katie, is don't trust anybody you hardly knew. 'Cause surely, you'll end up being stabbed in the back. Like what I did."
"Why?" Tears are rolling down, Katie's cheeks once again.
"Aww. . .don't cry. I knew from the start that you like me. So I took advantage of it. And you, being a stupid girl as you are became head over heels in love with me. Well, it's not my fault that I'm good looking. But sorry, miss. You're not my type. You're ugly."
"Kiss my ass!" Katie said irritably, wiping the tears from her eyes.
"I'd love to. Want me to do it now?"
"YOU ASSHOLE!" Katie punched Michael hard on the nose, knocking him off his feet. She ran away without looking back at him. Katie felt miserable. The boy whom she thought was her dream guy just betrayed her. She ran away angrily, cursing Michael under her breath.
--------------------------------------------------
SCHOOL BUS
Everyone in the bus was silent. Dewey sat on the front seat, with his hand on his face. Zack had his head leaned on the window, staring blankly on the floor. Freddy stared stiffly at the window. They never expected something like this to happen. They never saw it coming.
Katie arrived. She kept her head down as she took a seat at the back of the bus. She was so guilty of what happened. It was obvious that Michael had something to do with it and knowing that she's the only one in the band closest to him, she felt blameworthy for everything.
"Let's go, Marty." Dewey said softly.
It was a quiet trip home. No one made a noise. Summer, who was getting irritable of everyone's actions, decided to break the deafening silence;
"C'mon guys! At least we entered finals!" Summer stood up firmly.
"You don't understand. We were screwed." Zack said gloomily.
"I understand that perfectly! But hello? It's not the end of the world. We can fight back during finals!" Summer said.
"It's Michael. He planned everything!" Marta said angrily.
"Or maybe he planned it with someone in the band!" Freddy said loudly. Katie stared at him shockingly. "I mean, c'mon, who's the one person he's been very close to?"
Everyone glanced at Katie but quickly turned away.
"Freddy, I have never ever done anything to put this band in trouble!" Katie said furiously. "I will never betray any of you! You know that!"
"Yeah, well. . .you trusted him more than you trusted me." Freddy said coldly.
"That's not true!" Katie said hoarsely. Her eyes are starting to fill with tears again.
"So that's why you always want him around during practices, huh? To spy on us."
"That's stupid! You know what, you never changed at all. You're still the same arrogant and obnoxious Freddy Jones I know."
The bus pulled over in front of Katie's house. Katie angrily grabbed her bass and before she walked towards the bus door, she gave out a few more words.
"I'm starting to like you, Freddy but I guess it's not too late for my feelings to change." Katie walked out of the bus, looking sad and disappointed. She entered their house, went up the stairs to her room, and in there when privacy was finally dawning all over her, she sank her face on a pillow and burst into tears.
