AN: So hi, I decided to incorporate a lot of songs, and lyrics that I enjoy into the story, because…Well, you'll see (: Give me your ideas please!
BECK
Damn, Jade was a good singer. We had been looking for a good voice to sing the other end, and make it a duet, maybe even join the band, but we had gave up. Now that I hear Jade, I know she is perfect. She is amazing.
"Jade, you have to be in our band," I said, after pausing the track.
"No thanks," She said, simply. I was kind of shocked. Not to sound egotistical or anything, but most any girl at HA would jump on that chance, if it were given to them.
"Jade, What?" I asked.
"I said, No," She repeated, harshly. Crap, Crap, Crap. We need her. What do I have that she would want? Money? No. Charm? That's obviously not working. Then it clicked, I knew.
I took my eyes off of the unmoving traffic for a second, and then turned to her, "If you sing in our band, I will be your personal chauffeur, any time, day or night. I will pick you up, and take you to school, I will take you home after school, I'll take you anywhere, at any time."
She stared into my eyes a second, as if she were pondering this, and then she said, "Deal," and stuck out her hand.
I shook it, knowing this was the start of a beautiful friendship.
…
The next day the band stayed afterschool to practice in Sikowitz's room. Robbie was setting up his drums (which he surprisingly played good), and Andre his piano, when I realized Jade was not here.
I had told the guys that I had found a girl, and we were going to have her sing Fingerprints today, and see what they think. I hadn't told them it was the intimidating, reputation ruining, Jade.
We had chosen Fingerprints by Katy Perry to have all the girls audition for our band. We had planned on making it the first song they record if chosen into the band. I knew Jade was perfect, now hopefully the guys could see past the scary exterior.
I walked the now empty halls of Hollywood Arts, trying to find her, when I heard singing.
"Oh, I won't settle, No,
Oh, I can't settle,
I wanna break the mold,
Wanna break the stereotype... Nonono, Jade, come on…"
I heard her correct herself, and opened the door to the janitors closet where I heard her voice from. She was sitting on the floor, in the dark, with her eyes closed. They immediately opened when the door squeaked. I gave her a smile.
"You ready?" I asked, holding out a hand to help her up. She ignored it, and got up herself. She didn't say anything, and walked past me, right to Sikowitz's classroom. I followed her, and when she walked in, Andre, and Robbie stared at her, seeming to pause in time.
This might be harder than I thought.
