Obsession

Chapter 2 -
Meeting you again.
.:oOo:.
After what seemed like ages, first period let out, and Yuffie, Vera and I were the first out the door. We said goodbye to Yuffie when she went into chemistry, and ran down the flight of stairs to the first floor. We entered our second period class, advanced music.
Mjw was sitting on a chair, her black boots propped up on the table in front of her. She turned to us, her pale hazel eyes swept over us both before turning back to the front of the room where a small commotion was happening.
Vera and I looked too. Leon and Riku were being scolded by the principal.
"Cherrybombs," Vera whispered. I snorted and we sat down, giggling. Mjw smiled.
"Did you hear?" she asked an amused smile on her lips. This time Vera and I burst out laughing. She raised her eyebrows. "I'll take that as a yes."
"We…should prepare…our instruments," I managed to choke out, wanting to get away from the subject. Mjw nodded and went over to her drum set. Vera, still smiling, opened her guitar case. I clutched my sides and dug through my backpack, finding my metronome; I closed my fingers on it and pulled it out then set it on the ground near the microphone. An arm slid around my waist from behind. I turned around fast enough to give me whiplash.
"Leon! Don't do that! You scared the crap out of me."
Dressed in tight black jeans and a blood-red tank, Leon looked hot. But Leon and I are just friends, even though he likes to cross the friend/girlfriend boundary a bit sometimes, not that I mind, as long as he doesn't get too bad. Hehe.
He grinned at me, his shoulder length brown hair tied back in a loose ponytail, bangs partially covered his face.
"Oh you're such a kill joy," he said mockingly.
"Phft, don't vent your frustration on me because you got your butt lectured."
"No matter how many times I tell them I didn't do it, they don't believe me!" he said.
"Erm, maybe that's because you DID do it?"
"Well, I wouldn't put it that way…It WAS my idea, but Riku's the one who pulled it off."
"Oh please," I grinned. "Just get your keyboard ready." I clicked the microphone on as he walked to his keyboard.
"Whatever you say, Princess." I snorted at his remark and looked at Riku, he was at my left, all ready to go. Vera plucked a string absentmindedly at my right. Behind us, Mjw waited impatiently at her drums. Leon adjusted the keyboard settings.
"Can we start yet?" I called, taking the mic off the stand. It was answered by a bunch of hoots. The rest of the band students clustered around.
"You may begin," Mr. Ethins replied.
"Alrighty then!" I cried into the mic. My voice was amplified by a hundred decibels. "Y'all ready to rock!" I said like we were at a real out-door concert. There were cheers and cat calls from the students. Someone even called out: "Damn right we are!"
"Good, now shut up," I said, the hand behind my back counted to three.
"We are Obsession! And today, my real-rock deprived friends, we present to you Page Avenue! By Story of the Year, "
Two
One
Vera's hand flew of the strings in a quick little intro, then Riku and Mjw both joined in simultaneously. Leon played in the background softly; I opened my mouth and let my voice take over.
I still
recall every summer night
like it was yesterday
the time would
never end
and my friends were family
nothing mattered more
than
the loyalty we had
now i'm a world away from everything we
shared
I had something better
waiting ahead
I try to
take control of my heart
I had something better
but i'll tear
it down and i'll tape it up
by my own design i fall
The music melted the room, we were all alone. Just the beat and the rhythm. No students, no teachers, just us. Obsession.
Bring
back the days
three story parking lot
the air is never dry
as
the city falls asleep, days bleed into the night
The tables
set the stage
for a life of memories
but i'm a world away from
everything
I had
something better
waiting ahead
I try to take control of my
heart
I had something better
but i'll tear it down and i'll
tape it up
by my own design i fall
apart as time passes by
i
fall apart but the memories never die
And i still recall every
summer night
it seems like yesterday but i'm still a world away
Sweat dripped down my cheek and onto my shoulder. If only it could stay this way. White walls, solitude, the music and the atmosphere. Pure bliss…
I
had something better
waiting ahead
I try to take control of my
heart
I had something better
but i'll tear it down and i'll
tape it up
by my own design i fall
I had something better
I
had something better
and i fall apart, as time passes...
And just like that, the song finished. I was aware of the heat, and the dirty walls of the school and the excited faces of the students.
It was always the same. The blissful world disappeared as soon as the song died down and ended.
Students screamed and cheered, wanting more. Even the teacher was impressed. I replaced the mic and turned back to the Obsessers (a.k.a. the members of our band) and high-fived. Mjw blew a strand of hair from her face.
"Damn. We kick serious ass. Look at them," she said, pointing at our audience. "If they were anymore excited, I'm afraid they might wet themselves."
We all laughed. Someone tapped me on my shoulder. I thought it was Mr. Ethins come to give us our grade. But the looks on Mjw and Vera's faces were not the looks that you'd give a teacher.
Mjw's mouth formed a perfect "o" and her eyebrows shot way up. Vera looked about ready to drool. I turned around.
The guy I had run over this morning was there. His pale, ice-blue eyes met mine for the second time today.
Did I mention how hot he was?
-Shut up brain-
"Hey," He said.
"Err…hi? What are you doing here?"
"My schedule's been changed," he stated simply.
"Oh! I know you! Err…uh…" Leon burst out.
We all stared at him.
"CLOUD! Ha! I remembered!" he grinned.
I hit him on the shoulder. "God, Leon." I turned back to Cloud. "Hey, I'm Reina. This is our band, Obsession."
"You're pretty good," he complimented, no tone in his voice. It made him seem bored.
"Thank you," I said uncertainly, looking at Riku and the others. They looked uncertain too. His compliment sounded forced, like he had to say it so he wouldn't hurt our feelings. Leon stepped up.
"Look, man, if you don't mean it, don't bother saying it," he said. Dislike flickered in his eyes. Cloud looked at him and tilted his head slightly.
"I DID mean it," he said calmly, though venom was hidden in his words.
It was at that moment I realized this was not going to be the best of relationships.
