The Sound of Music
Chapter 2:
I met up with the rest of my friends near the gym. Zach was still the same, Magenta had added some blue to her purple, and Ethan had finally hit puberty. Ethan was now at eyelevel with me and had gotten contacts. This change in him had caught many girls attention. I couldn't help but be happy for my friend.
"Anybody know what this is about?" I asked. They all shook their heads. "Great, this should be interesting."
We all filed into the gym. The platform for power placement was in the middle of the gym with Boomer on top. We all stood in front of him. He took of his sunglasses.
"It seems that when we sent out letters of acceptance for your grade we left someone out." He gestured to a girl talking to Principal Powers near the door. Powers lead her over to the platform.
I couldn't help but stare. She was beautiful. She had long sun-bleached hair pulled back in a bun held up with chopsticks, Sapphire blue eyes, a light compaction, and she wore boys jeans, and a navy blue hoody. Then I noticed something odd. On her belt she had a trumpet.
"What's your name?" asked Boomer.
"Jessica Tetrachord." She stated. Her voice was soft and pure but we all heard her clearly.
"Show me your power."
"Righto," She then reached up and pulled the chopsticks from her hair. Then I noticed that they weren't chopsticks… they were drumsticks. "Five, six, seven, eight…"
Then she started to play this beat. As she played the drumsticks started to glow magenta. She then swung one of her sticks at Boomer who flew across the gym. She then jumped from the platform slamming her sticks into the gym floor causing the floor to wave (like in the movie when Will punches the floor). She stopped and took a sweeping bow. We clapped.
Boomer walked back over with a limp. "Ok, Jessica Tetrachord… hero."
Author: what do you think? I'm debating weather to make this a romance or not...
