EXTRAORDINARY WAY

CHAPTER 2

I thought it through last night. I'm going to ask Summer today in Western Civics if I could be her assistant. Why in the Hell do I wanna do that? I don't know either. But for the past few days I've been walking home and like always I see teens in their uniforms entering that building. And somehow it peaked my interest into what they are doing inside there. Of course I knew they were practicing music, but still I can't form a good visualization of the scene because I don't know how band practices goes on. And it kind of irked me a little because now, I want to be able to go inside too. It seemed to me that only selected people can enter there, and I badly want to be one of them. Ridiculous, I know but I can't help it.

After our teacher dismissed the class I automatically walked towards Summer's desk, good thing she takes time in arranging her things unlike me who just shoves them all in my bag. As I got closer I noticed that she had a phone stuck in her ear.

"…that's impossible, I told you we are taking some time off in playing live. Only two gigs a month. We are in the midst of our final semester and things are getting heavy, especially for the Band." She announced. I stood there in front of her waiting for their conversation to end and watching her arrange her stuff.

"Okay, I'll check on it then I'll get back to on that." She said before clicking the end button. She closed her bag, stood up and smoothen her skirt before looking up to me. I was an inch taller after all.

"Hey, what's up Avery?" Whew, she sounded breezy. Good.

"Not much. But can I talk to you for a sec?" I asked and she looked at her watched to check if it was indeed okay. Me and Summer are not that close but we communicate academically concerning school topics and stuff so it's not that hard to start a conversation with her.

"Sure. What is it about?" We both sat down, I took the chair next to hers. Suddenly this whole thing seemed too silly, I cringed as she looked at me. I can't back out now, just swallow it Montez.

"Uhh… this is gonna sound weird but I want to work for you." I finally said. Her eyebrows scrunched upward.

"Work?" She asked in disbelief. "For me?"

"Uh-Huh." I chirped, trying to lift the awkwardness.

"And why do you want to do that?" She had that guarded look on her face, suspicion.

"Well, you're the manager of School of Rock, right?" She nodded but still was suspicious. "And you're also the vice president of the student council, I just thought that a little help would be a good thing." I shrugged as I explained myself. It was so lame!

"Why bother yourself? I mean you're also in the honor roll, you must have other activities to focus on." She replied.

"Well yeah, but unlike everybody else I have no extracurricular activities. And plus, you said so yourself, things are getting heavy around here with finals coming up and the Year-end gala that the school is having? The council is arranging that too right? I mean that's a lot of things to tak-" I was cut off.

"I'm well aware of the fact. Thank you very much for your concern but I think I can handle everything on my own." She stated before standing up. I made a mistake and tried to take off some of her load, which isn't a complement for someone like Summer. I was coming from a different angle, this was Summer Hathaway, I have to try a different approach.

"I'll be your assistant." That stopped her in her tracks. "I'll do the little things, faxing, printing, typing, buying bagels or even shredding paper." She turned to face me with a pondering expression. "You don't have to pay me or give me anything in return. I just want the experience, I swear." I raised my hand on that last one.

"Assistant huh?" She mused. I knew I did right this time.

"Yes." I stood up to face her. "It's just, you're doing all this amazing things and somehow I just wanna be involve. I'm really good with being submissive and I have great computer skills." She gave me an appreciative look before smiling.

"I'll think about it, Seat with me at lunch tomorrow?" She asked before leaving the class room not waiting for my reply.

"Okay." I softly said, confused by her words if I'm already accepted or not. Anyways, it seemed she liked the idea of having an assistant so I have a good feeling it's going to work. I left the classroom and went straight to Ella. I got a ride from her mom today but I still saw the rustic apartment to where school of rock resides.

"So, did you talk to Summer?" Ella asked on the way home.

"Yeah, and like you she also thought I was crazy. But she's thinking about it." I muttered, completely sure that she is thinking about it right now.

I know people rarely read School of Rock fics nowadays. But if you are reading this, then it would really be nice if i could get a response from you. ^^
