Chapter 7: Detention Blues
January 12, 2010 ; Dismissal
Days passed, they still continued practicing their new song written by Zack during their Mathematics period. He thought of this song because of the victory party last December because of Dewey who puked after drinking lots of beer with Ned at the pad. The song is entitled "Mop it up." Freddy uses the drumsticks given to her by Katie and never removes it from his backpockets while Katie never let the bass out of her sight. While practicing, Summer finished reading their World Cultures book and left it open. Then Freddy turned the electric fan on (because the AC is broken when Dewey puked on the main apparatus too) very high which blew the book's pages till the last page. Since Katie usually plays her bass in a leaning-on-the-wall position, she saw the book's last page and saw a man's handwriting on it . It read:
#714 Everforest St. Schimpleton Village, North Attic
She wondered who's address it is but she completely forgot about it when Dewey and Zack did their double solos twice. After practice Freddy, Zack, and Katie went to Freddy's house. When they arrived, they jammed at Freddy's basement where his drums are. Suddenly, Katie's mind kinda remembered a picture. Summer and Zack.
"Zack," she said
"Yeah?" answered Zack who was playing the School of Rock intro.
"Summer'd get mad if she knows we three are together." said Katie
"She IS mad at me at the moment." answered Zack and paused playing the guitar
"Why then dude?" butted Freddy who looked very interested when Katie opened this topic
"Says I'm always on your side and stuff..." sighed Zack and he shooked his head "Doesn't she realize that I'm in a hard position considerin' you two are my both my bestfriends and she my girlfriend?"
"Don't worry," assured Katie "I know her, she loves you so much Zack." Just then...ZAACCCCCKKKKKKK! came an angry voice from above.
"Holy poopy shit! It's Summer!" said a scared looking Zack "She's gonna spill her anger on me! Gotta split! Bye!" the he went out the window with his electric guitar then after a few seconds, Summer went in the basement looking mad.
"Where the hell is Zack!" she asked-screamed
"How're we supposed to know?" lied Katie sarcastically then Summer started pulling of the couch pillows and opening the drwaers in the basement looking for Zack.
"Dammit! He-" she broke off when Freddy yelled "Dammit Summer! My mom just forced me to alphabetically and by page number arrange those freakin' books of dad! Why you gotta go here, look for Zack and ruin things too?" the Summer muttered an apology and went off again to look for Zack.
"You know what she called me?" Katie suddenly rememebered and asked Freddy after a couple of minutes Summer left.
"No, what?" he said in reply as he tightened his snare
"The Bass Player" she said sadly
"That's rude!" he exclaimed "I'm gonna make her know she doesn't have any right to do rude things to you."
"No. Please. Don't. Promise me that okay?" she pleaded and unplugged her bass "Gotta go home. Bye. You don't have to walk me home." and she kissed him goodbye on the cheek
"I promise. Are you sure I don't have to walk you home?" she nodded and left her bass on the couch "Okay bye, take care."
Days passed and the Battle of the Band Semi Finals Came. They played first since they are in the first place during the eliminations. They perfected another awesome-practiced song. "Mop it up." After every band's done playing, the only bands left are:
Top 7: Nutrifacts
Top 6: Start and Reset
Top 5: Pink Punky Pancakes
Top 4: i Rockdotcom
Top 3: The Klux
Top 2: Rock Teachers
Top 1: School of Rock
Again! The band topped the list! Which means if ever any band'll copy their song and perform it at the Finals, they'll have no chance to play it 'coz they'll play first.
They invited the Rock teachers to their pad to party. When they got to the pad, everyone got a weird feeling because every SoR band and crew got a weird feeling because they have a bit of a clone from the Rock Teachers. The others were (I introduced the other Rock Teachers right? So the following are just crews from SoR with their equal at Rock Teachers okay?) Gary Chazrachy Toddler were talking with Gordon Infante (notice infant from toddler? LoLz!) about computer and stuff. Marco Hosey is currently wondering why his equal John Marcky Pipeys got pipes as his last name and he got hose as his. Billy's equal is a gay too named, Wilson Bill Ryan Ralditto were talking with him about rock fashion. Frankie got a an equal big as him named Tankie. Leonard got his equal small as him and in the same skin color and named as Reonard. The groupies's Michelle and Eleni got Melena and Eshelley, twins and both groupies too. Summer has her own equal too. Funny her name's Lizzie Winter Hath Home, (notice HathAWAY from Hath HOME? LoLz! And Lizzie from Miranda? Both their 2nd names are from the show Lizzie McGuire.) who is also a person full of schedule and very bossy to her bandmates. They partied for a long time and after a few hours, the Rock Teachers bid goodbye and everybody got a new, good friend from each other. They exchanged numbers and addresses. They told each other that if they need anything just call anyone from them. Around one o'clock in the morning, Freddy and Zack are now drunk as seen from their groggy conversation about rock music. Then suddenly, Freddy went to Summer and yelled: "You ain't got no right to be rude to Katie you know!" everyone's eyes flew to both Freddy and Summer quickly and Katie hearing this went to Freddy and said: "Freddy no! Sorry he's just drunk," she added to Summer whose mouth is still open due to shock "Dammit Freddy! Let's go inside!" and she put Freddy's arms on her shoulders but some of the boys from the band went over to help her. Once they settled Freddy in his room, the boys went back down to party some more. Meanwhile, Katie started scolding Freddy for what happened.
"Why did you do that? Good thing you're drunk so she'll understand your condition." she exclaimed in anger and started removing his shoes
"I'm not drunk! I just pretended to be.Well anyway a bit." he said groggily from under his sheets
"What do you mean a bit?" she curiously asked as she proceeded to take his socks off
"You heard me. I'm not that drunk. Just a bit. Anyway you just don't know how I'm dealing with my temper for her." he answered
"So it's like, you pretended to get very drunk and made Zack get really very drunk so he'll understand? And by you pretending to be really drunk, got your temper out on her for some stupid, illogical reason!" she said angrily but like a wise man who just discovered how to create another planet "AND you broke your promise to me!" she added when Freddy was about to say something
I'm sorry okay?" he said apologetically "I'm such a jerk for breaking your promise." he sat up and put his right hand to his chest "I, Frederick Kevin Alexander Clark Jones promises Katie Rebecca Brown to never break his promise. And if I do, she will not marry me-ow!" he exclaimed when Katie hit him with his shoes "Hey! Anyway my pledge ain't done yet. She will not marry me but instead bury me alive. Okay?" he continued which made Katie more annoyed.
"Look, stop with this playing and get to sleep Spazzy. Goodnight. Love you." and she dabbed a gentle kiss on his lips and headed to the door and he heard him say "Love you too! I'm sorry!" and she just nodded in response to accept his apology.
-----The Next Day-----
January 19, 2010 ; 8:30 am
(you''ll see above that it's January 10, but if you get confused well, it's already January 19 after the party because it said after the jam at Freddy's house "Days passed" OK? GOT IT?)
Katie woke up and went down. She saw Summer cleaning the mess from last night's celebration from the window at the kitchen. She headed to the backyard through the kitchen door after she ate her breakfast. She started to clean too. Then Summer said: "I don't wanna talk about last night." when she saw Katie about to say something and with that she got the garbage bag and placed it in the dumpster and went inside. Katie started to stack the chairs altogether in one place when Zack got up and said from his window (his window's facing the backyard) "Hey! Whatever happened last night, I'm fine with it okay? I know he's drunk. No apology need to be said. Tell him."
"Why don't you?" she asked as she wiped her hands on her clothes "And how did you know about last night?"
"I gotta go home early. Mom wants me. And Summer told me last night when she sent me to bed." he replied and with that, he shut his window closed and went out his room.
After a few hours, a lot started to wake up. Finally, when Freddy woke up after Dewey, (which is quite dumbstrucking, surprising, shocking, and unbelievable thing to happen because Dewey's always last to wake up every after party) Katie dragged him to her room and told Zack what he wants her to tell him.
"He fell for that me being really very, very drunk?" asked Freddy in surprised and Katie nodded in response.
-----The Next Day-----
January 20, 2010 ; English Class ; Horace Green High
Ms. Franco is teaching stuff about passive and active voice. Everyone was listening intently except for - Summer (can you believe it!) and Freddy (it is already natural.) "Ms. Hathaway are you even paying attention to what I'm saying!" yelled Ms. Franco when she noticed Summer sleeping at the back. Summer woke up embarassed. "You don't even sit there! And you Mr. Jones," she started when he saw him "I for one, knows that you don't really pay attention to any of your classes, but why in the world are you sitting in Ms. Hathaway's seat?" Freddy who was shocked, answered: "Ms. Franco, Summer wanted me to. She reasoned out that she wanted me to listen to you, but for me, I know she's gonna sleep."
"But why didn't you stop her!" she raged
"I wanna actually try listenin' to you." he said mockingly and everyone laughed
"That's it! Everyone gets an F at the next 3 Pop Quizzes!" everyone groaned and looked at both Freddy and Summer "I don't care if you're the School of Rock! Academic time is for academic time not rocking or sleeping time! Got it!" and everyone nodded. "Ok. Ms. Hathaway, can you give me 30 passive and active sentences each and meet me later after classes, this also addresses you Mr. Jones." Summer and Freddy groaned and Summer answered her question. She gave 30 sentences each but unfortunately, she flipped each sentences. She gave sentences for passive that's supposed to be in active. After she gave a lot of wrong sentences, she got 3 weeks worth of detention by scrubbing the testubes at the Chemistry Laboratory for 4 hours each day while Freddy only got a week of cleaning bird poops at the rooftop for one hour each day.
After Freddy's detention for the first day, she saw Katie waiting for him by the exit door. So he ran to her.
"Hey 'sup!" he asked as she kissed her cheek
"The sky?" she answered like an innocent kid.
"Very funny. C'mon, let's jam at Dewey's." he said as he held her hand and started walking to the bus stop.
"My bass is with you." she told him "Let's go to your house first."
"Nah. I brought it there when you left it with me. I might plug it on the wrong plug and you know...boom!" he said actively with his hands acting.
"Ok." she said and they continued walking to the bus stop.
While they're walking, they saw the Hogwarts boys smoking just about half a mile away from them. He saw Cedric light up a platinum blue flip lighter and towards to the cigarette plopped in his mouth. "Filthy!" she muttered. Freddy didn't hear her. After a few seconds, a bus came and they rode it to the apartment.
"Finally!" exclaimed Zack "C'mon let's rock!"
"You really have manners huh Zack?" said Katie as he plopped her bag down to the couch "You didn't even wait for Summer."
"Hey I wanted to but she didn't want me to. So I just went here than let her explode on me again!" he replied defensively and everyone laughed.
They started to practice the new song the back up singers have been writing for weeks. The new song is entitled "High Voltage Guard." They started pretty good at it. It's a song about a couple with an overprotective boyfriend. For the first time, the back up singers get to sing infront because Dewey can't sing a song about him having a boyfriend so the girls will sing it. It goes like this:
"High Voltage Guard" lyrics by Tomika Hassan, Alicia Allens, and Marta Hale (A/N: Originally Written by me! All songs here except "Into You" are written by me!)
Can't get away from him
He'll threaten me to dim
Such a kill joy
Acting as if I'm his toy
Stupidity's growing
Anger is flowing
Gonna kill you if you touch me
I'm sorry but I'm not free
Refrain:
Holdin' on to me, is such a crime
Sorry but this ain't the perfect time
Even if you give me a dime
Even though we both don't rhyme
I'd rather go with you than an idiot
It will feel better, a lot
I know that for some reason you like me
But if I accept you then we would be three
Chorus:
I know, you know
I got a High Voltage Guard
For your sake (please) back off
HIGH. VOL. TAGE. GUARD.
Facing him...no!
You're not that tough
HIGH. VOL. TAGE. GUARD.
You're presence is very comfortable
If he's not here then I'm available
I'd rather go out with someone I don' t like
Than live a life with whom beats me
I'd rather fall off a bike
than get a bruise of idiocy
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Long way to the freedom I've been missing
If you can build up your muscles, please do
Save me from him, beat him to death
After that I'll be with you
(Chorus 2x)
