It's lunch, and Grace, Kacey, and I just talk at our comfy area. You see, we don't really eat at the lunch tables. Since lunch is kind of like recess, we could go anywhere we wanted inside the school premises. We usually ate under the tree near the cafeteria. It wasn't really popular with the other students, so it was a great place for us to hang out.
"Hey, have you guys noticed those flyers?" Grace asks. I notice a bunch of multicolored flyers stapled to the trees, and taped to the wall of the school.
"No, we didn't. What's it about?" Kacey says scarfing down a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
"I'll take a look." I say, and head over to the closest flyer.
Looking for new members of Gravity! Recruiting backup singers, a lead singer, and a bass player! Come and join! Auditions in the band room in B hall all week.
So a band called Gravity was looking for new members. And there was a bandroom in B hall? All I know about B hall is that people stayed away from the room at the end of the hallway. Huh... They were looking for a bass player. Maybe I should join. I go back to Grace and Kacey.
"What did it say?" Grace asks popping some grapes into her mouth.
"Just something about a band audition." I say nonchalantly.
"A band audition!?" Kacey asks suddenly interested in joining than her sandwich.
"Yeah. Why?" I ask picking up a pizza slice from my lunch tray.
"Are they looking for a lead singer?" Kacey asks with her voice filled with hope.
"Yup. Also for a bass player, and some background singers." I say.
"We should join." Kacey says. Join? In an actual band?
"What? You can join Kacey-"
"I know you can play the bass like a boss, and they are looking for a bass player." Kacey says.
"I know, but what about Grace?"
"I can always be a background singer." she says. I give up with this. If you can't beat them, join them.
"Let's go then." I say, and we make our way to B hall.
As we make our way towards B hall, I bump into a girl dressed head to toe in hot pink.
"Oh, sorry-"
"Watch where you are going Loserberry." she says. Loserberry? Where did that come from?
"Molly." Kacey says. Molly glances at Kacey.
"Kacey." she says.
"You two know each other?" I ask.
"We used to be fellow Perfs." Kacey explains not taking her eyes off Molly. Then Molly focuses on Grace.
"You left too? I always missed you Grace. Why did you leave?" Molly asks.
"I had a good reason." Kacey says.
"I wasn't talking to you." Molly snaps.
"I have a gazillion reasons." Grace says and then glares at Molly. So they all know each other, and they hate each other. Hmmm... I wonder what happened.
"Are you here for the band auditions, or are you just stalking me?" Molly asks.
"You are auditioning for Gravity?" Kacey asks.
"Lead singer to specify," Molly says, then whispers in my ear. "Don't waste your time with these jerks." she says and then sashays off into the band room, which I notice is the abandoned room. It didn't look scary. It wasn't covered with spiderwebs and it wasn't a place for ghosts to hang out, so I should be fine. I enter the room, but then I notice the missing presence behind me.
"Aren't you two coming along?" I ask.
"But it's the room that's haunted." Grace says.
"Molly would think you two are just a bunch of scaredy cats." I say, hoping it would make them want to go inside the room. They look at each other, and then look right back at me.
"Let's do it."
