Runaway Musicians Chapter 8:Singing Competition, an elsword fanfic

Lu's Pov

Lunch(12:10)

"What do you think of the school so far Eve?"I asked her.

"I think that it's... magnificent"Eve said,"how about you?"

"It's pretty cool"I say. We went to go sit at a table where it was outside close to the garden.

"What a beautiful view"Eve says at she looks at the flowers. Eve was looking at the Ume, Asagoa, and Sakura plants. Those were her favorite Japanese flowers. I was more into Blue roses. I didn't see any blue roses in the vases.

"Okay, let's eat"I said. Both Eve and I got our bento boxes out and started eating. "Mmm this is so good"I tell Eve.

"I know right"Eve says,"I took cooking classes with my drones."

"That is so cool"I said.

"Excuse me, can we seat here to?"asked a person behind us. I turn to see Ciel and Add behind him.

"Umm.. sure"I said.

"Thank you"Ciel says as he sits down. Add sits down next to him. The table was able to fit all of us.

"What do you guys think of the school so far?"Ciel asks.

"The school is amazing"I responded in a cheerful way.

"Glad that you like it here"Ciel said. Both Add and Eve stayed quite. They just kept on eating.

"You guys are sure quite"I said to Eve and Add.

"Uh"they both said unison.

"That was cute that both of you saud the said thing at the same time"Ciel said.

"Shut up Ciel"Add said. I think that Add can be a real jerk some times.

"How long have Add and you been friends?"I asked Ciel.

"Since middle school"Ciel said.

"How old are you guys?"I asked them.

"I'm 19 and Add is 18"Ciel tells me.

"Oh cool"I said. I saw Ciel smiling at me and when we locked eyes I felt my face getting red.

"Are you sick pipsqueak?"Add asked,"your face is red."

"Oh, shut up you jerk"I said to Add.

"Can Lucina and Eri come to the principles office please "the speaker said.

"Well, time for us to go"I said,"it was nice talking to you guys." Both Eve and I packed our stuff and got ready to leave. "See you guys later"I said to Ciel and Add as I waved goodbye to them.

"Bye"Ciel said as he waved at us. Add just kept on eating and didn't turn to face us. Eve and I started walking to the principles office.

"Why didn't interact with us?"I asked Eve.

"Sorry, it's just I didn't feel like interacting much"Eve said.

"Are you okay?"I asked her.

"I just felt like Add was staring at me the whole time"Eve said.

"Oh okay"I said. We got to the office and knocked on the door.

"Come in"Arika said. After she said that we opened the door and went in.

"Hi girls"Arika said,"please sit down." We did what Arika told us do to and sat down.

"Why did you call us Arika ?"Eve asked.

"To tell you guys about the singing competition that is today"Arika said.

"Wait it's happening today!"I said in a surprised voice.

"Yes, and it's going to start in 2 hours in the auditorium"Arika told us. "Here's a paper that tells you when it's going to start and how it works"Arika tells us.

"Thank you for telling us about this Arika"Eve said,"your'e such a kind person."

"Your welcome"Arika said,"I wish you guys the best of luck and hope you guys succeed."

"Thanks Arika"I said."will you be there?"

"Yes I will be one of the judges"she told us. "Lunch is about to end"she told us,"you guys should start heading out to class."

"Okay, will see you later, Arika"I said as we got up to leave.

"See you guys later"Arika said. We went out the room and closed the door behind us.

"Let's go back to class"I told Eve.

"Okay"she said as she smiled at me. We went straight to class and sat down in our seats. RING! The bell ringed telling everybody that lunch was over. Everybody started coming in and seating down. After every student came in the teacher came in.

"Good afternoon class"said the teacher.

"Good afternoon Mr. Gomez"everybody said. We only had two more periods left than after school will start. Next we had Ms. Luna as our homeroom teacher. We get to do anything in her class. It was a free period for us but we had to at least do some work.

2 hours later(2:40)

RING! School has ended and it was time to head down to the auditorium. I got my stuff ready and waited for Eve. She finished putting her stuff away and walked to me. "Ready?"I asked her.

"Yes"she said.

"Okay, then let's go"I said with excitement as we started walking to the auditorium.

"I wonder if there's going to be any instruments that we can use"Eve said.

"Maybe there will be some"I said. We got there and saw a little line. Some of the kids were from our class and others in other grades.

"I wonder what their going to sing"Eve said.

"We'll wait then see"I said. They weren't letting anybody in yet. "Why don't we read the paper while we wait to check in"I said.

"Okay"Eve said.

"Okay it says that they will let us in 4 mins and the competition will start in 20 mins"I told Eve.

"There's going to be 4 judges including Arika and there's a list of instruments we get to use"Eve told me.

"We'll both be using guitars but different ones"I told Eve.

"You will you the acoustic one and I will use the electric one"Eve says.

"Okay, and we already chose a song"I said to Eve.

"Okay, were ready"Eve said. I turn to the front of the line and saw Arika opening the doors.

"Please come in group at a time"Arika said. First a group of four went in and signed up. Then after them it was just a girl who was playing. After her was us and we went in.

"May I have your name?"Arika asked.

"Lucina and Eri"I told her.

"Will there be any instruments you guys will be using?"Arika asked.

"One acoustic guitar and one electric guitar"Eve told her.

"Okay, you guys will be band three and will call your names when it's your turn to go up"Arilka told us,"for now you guys will be seating behind where the judges sit."

"Okay, thank you"I said. We went to go sit down and waited for the competition to start. There wasn't that much people who were signing up for the competition. Only about 2 more bands signed up after us.

"So you guys signed up too"somebody next to me said. I turn to see Ciel and Add next to us.

"Umm, yeah we also signed up"I told them.

"This is going to be fun don't you think"Ciel said.

"Yeah it will"I said. "What band are you guys?"I asked them.

"We're four"Add told me."and you?"

"We're three"Eve told them.

"So will be playing after you guys"Ciel said,"can't to see you perform."

"Yeah"I said. I saw Arika stand up and started talking.

"Okay, we will begin the competition now"she said,"band one please go up." The group of four went up and got ready to perform. It said that every group will get 2 min to prepare. After the two mins the group when up the stage. There were 3 boys and 1 girl in the group. Two of them had guitars, one with bass, and one on drums. "Okay, ready when you are"Arika told them. They looked to each other giving a signal to start. The lights went dim and they started playing the song. The lead singer was a boy.

Lead Singer:

Welcome to the jungle we got fun and games
We got everything you want honey, we know the names
We are the people that can find whatever you may need
If you got the money honey we got your disease

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your sha na na na na knees knees
I wanna watch you bleed

Welcome to the jungle we take it day by day
If you want it you're gonna bleed but it's the price you pay
And you're a very sexy girl very hard to please
You can taste the bright lights but you won't get there for free
In the jungle welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my, my, my serpentine
I,I wanna hear you scream

Welcome to the jungle it gets worse here everyday
You learn to live like an animal in the jungle where we play
If you got a hunger for what you see you'll take it eventually
You can have everything you want but you better not take it from me

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your sha na na na na knees knees
I'm gonna watch you plead

And when you're high you never ever want to come down
So down, so down, so down, yeah

You know where you are?
You're in the jungle baby, you gonna dieee
In the jungle welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your sha na na na na knees knees
In the jungle welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my, my my serpentine
Jungle welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your sha na na na na knees knees
Down in the jungle welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to you
It's gonna bring you down, ha!

After they finished the everybody in the room was clapping for them. I looked at the judges and saw that they were writing what they thought of their performance.

"Band two next please"Arika said. A girl when up to get ready. She went to the stage with just a microphone. "Okay, were ready"Arika told her. Music started playing and she held the microphone close to her mouth. She open her mouth and begin to sing.

Girl:

I thought that I've been hurt before
But no one's ever left me quite this sore
Your words cut deeper than a knife
Now I need someone to breathe me back to life

Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover
Move on

You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
I'm shaking falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
I'm tripping over myself
I'm aching begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches

Just like a moth drawn to a flame
Oh you lured me in I couldn't sense the pain
Your bitter heart cold to the touch
Now I'm gonna reap what I sew
I'm left seeing red on my own

Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover
Move on

Needle and the thread
Gotta get you out of my head
Needle and the thread
Gonna wind up dead

Needle and the thread
Gotta get you out of my head get you out of my head

And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches

The stage when dark and she bowed then left the stage.

"Can I have band three come up to the stage please"Arika said. Both Eve and I got up and walked up to the back of the stage. There were two guitars waiting for us. We got them and put the strap around us.

"Are you ready Eve?"I asked.

"You know I will always be ready Lu"Eve said as we walked up to the stage.

"Ready when you are"Arika told us. I turn to Eve and nodded at her. Then she nodded at me. The stage lights turned dim and we started playing.
