Band Rivals
I paused at the university doors, looking at them. So this is my school, huh? I shrugged it off and walked inside, it was a relief I didn't have to wear a uniform, that would be too much work...
I walked through the hallways, it was pretty quiet, school hadn't started because it was Saturday. I heard a band playing, it was loud, I decided to check it out. Likewise, I walked down, checking the sliding doors. Until I heard the loud sound of an off tune gutair string. I walked in the music room, I saw a guy. I could feel my face heating up. Not only that, but I looked at him in awe, not saying anything, just his face was enough to get me worked up.
He turned to look at me. He opened his mouth and said. "Who are you?" His voice was low and dominant, I felt my face heat up more, I was never like this. "O…. I'm just..a new student here! And I heard an off tune gutair strum-" I cut myself off, he was staring at me like a death glare, my blush deepened, I stared at him. "Off tune? Excuse me?" I froze at his commanding tone, I looked away.
"Y… Yeah, off tune..." I said softly. He scoffed. "You don't even know the song, and you want to say that it's off tune?" I paused. He's right, I don't know the song... I'm stupid... "A-Ah! I didn't mean it like that-" He shoved past me, I looked away.
SO much for first impressions...
LATER THAT DAY:
I have to sign up for a club... This sucks... In the end I signed up for the music club, I scratched my head, sighing. I messed up this time... The guy who was mean to me... Is in that club! Damn... How stupid can I get!?
I shrugged it off, and walked in the clubroom. There were three people, the guy who was playing the gutair earlier, and a guy practicing drums, and...a bass guitarist. They all paused and stared at me. All of their eyes lit up, except...of course, the guy with the guitar he looked at me with total disgust. I laughed nervously.
One of them rushed over to me. "What's your name!?" He looked totally excited, he grabbed my hand. "Uhm... Aki, Aki Hinoto..." I looked up at him. "Mine's Jun!" He yelled and kissed my hand, I pulled my hand away, laughing nervously. "O… Oh, is it now?" He nodded frantically. I kept glancing over at the guy with the guitar.
The one who was playing the drums took notice of this and spoke. "That's Hiruma, he's a bit of a jerk." He smirked. I blushed slightly. Hiruma...? "O-oh! I-I'm Aki!" I blushed and looked at Hiruma, he scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Heard the first time." He went back to tuning his guitar. "Jesus... I'm Noah." The one playing the drums spoke, smirking still.
"So... What's your talent? Or are you useless?" Hiruma spoke, looking down at me, scoffing. Ii blushed slightly at his cold demeanor. " I...I sing!" Hiruma scoffed, Noah smirked and Jun's eyes lit up.
"You sing? We'll see about that." Hiruma looked down at me, and rolled his eyes. "Well, come one over by me." Noah smirked, and pointed at the microphone. H-He's so cool! I walked over to him, a bit nervous because of Hiruma's cold gaze.
"Do you have a song you know?" Noah asked, looking at me, twirling his drum sticks. "O… Oh… Do…you know Shivers, by Ed Sheeran?' I said softly, Noah smirked and nodded. "I'm sure you'll be great at that song." I nodded nervously, Jun was smiling, and Hiruma scoffed.
"Ok, tell me when you're ready." I nodded as Noah spoke. "... I'm ready!" I looked at Noah, he began t hit the drums rythimatically, and Hiruma started strumming his guitar to the rhythm of the song, Jun joined in with his bass guitar.
I opened my mouth, and started singing the lyrics.
