Part 2

After finishing my egg and bacon sandwich, I heard these voices coming from the alley beside me. It sounded like a group of guys arguing on something and it sounded pretty mild so I checked it out. I was standing near the wall just to get a better listen on what they were talking about. As I listened further I heard a woman's voice and she sounded really scared, now being the gentleman I am, I would feel really guilty if she would get hurt so I did what any man in my position would have done, I went straight inside the alley and saw 3 guys on my left and 2 guys on my right including the girl. I felt the hairs on my nape stand up seeing the 3 guys on the left, the first guy was a 6 foot tall monster with short black hair and a buff body, the second was the average pretty boy looking guy with a blonde comb over, the third was a bit taller than boy # 2 but he was really skinny. They were all wearing the same red uniform, probably jocks. All the 3 boys looked at me fiercely, the 1st boy then came up to me...

" And who the fuck do you think you are?", asked the 1st guy bumping his huge, muscular body to me.

"The name is Nico, and who are you?", I was a bit intimidated with his height and body, but with my experience in a gang back when I was young, I had no fear inside me..

"Why you lit--", he was on the brink of punching me in the face, but his blonde friend stood in the way and looked at me with an arrogant smirk..

"Well my name is Robert Gordon, the big man here is Duke, and skinny over there is Mike. I haven't seen you here before..", he gave his hand out to me as if wanting to shake hands, I was pretty unsure because of the arrogant way he spoke.

"Nah, I don't do that..", I said declining his friendship.

"You must be new here, I suggest you get out of our way and I assure you won't get hurt", he said with that arrogant smile of his, it made me hate him even more..

"Hey, this is just between you and me, don't bring anyone else in!", said the guy on my right.

"Fuck off, Liam", said Mike to the skinny blonde guy, holding the neck of his shirt. Liam told him to get his hands off and Mike stood back.

"Well I ain't scared of you or your bitches", I said clutching on to my fists.

"Well, you asked for it!" Robert said as he went straight for me.

Robert tried to get a hold of me as he put his arms around my head, I quickly jabbed the right part of his abdomen, that straight jab sent him weak and on his knees, gasping for air. I finally had the upper hand but as I looked behind me, all I saw was Duke's fists straight at me. I went unconscious for a few minutes, everything was pitch black. I then woke up and saw a white light, I thought it was finally it, I was gone from the Earth. Then this beautiful figure began talking, she had an angelic voice but she was blurry.

"How are you feeling?"

"I'm feeling fine I guess.." I answered with a smile. Suddenly, another figure came into view.

"Well you fucking well be!", another womanly voice said. As my vision became clearer, I realized it was the girl from the alley earlier.

"Don't you know what trouble you got into fucknut? You just got into a fight with one of the most influential jocks in this school!", I didn't say a word as I was feeling a bit dizzy at the time.

"Oi!", she slapped me real hard on the right cheek and it made me stand up from my bed. I was in the school clinic, it was 8:45 on the clock and there were only 5 people in the room, the young, hot, and single school nurse Ms. Linn; the 2 guys and the girl from the alley, and me.

"Calm down, Sheena.." said Liam with a cool voice.

"Dude, what you did there was fucking cool, I never saw anyone stand up to Robert, until now..", the guy with a bob cut told me handing out his hand..

"The name is Howard, Howard Lee and this blonde guy is Liam Barnett, and the redhead is Sheena, Liam's sister", I still felt the pain of Sheena's slap, but I didn't feel like complaining, I then stood up and shook hands with all 3. Liam and Howard were cool guys, but Sheena was reluctant in doing so.

OOC: This next part is a montage, it just shows what happened in the two weeks that Sheena and Nico were practicing.

Sheena and I were sitting in the opposite sides of the room, she was handling the keyboards as I handled the grand piano. We were both thinking of what song to play, I thought of playing this symphonic masterpiece while she thought of playing a rock song transposed to the piano, which I thought was a bit unoriginal. We spent almost 3 days on just thinking(and arguing) what to play and Sheena looked impatient as fuck. I had to think of a solution, fast!

"We have spent three days in this music room and all we've done is play some random shit on the piano! What are we gonna do now?", said Sheena as she suddenly stood up from the chair with a very disappointed look.

I sat quietly on the piano playing this smooth song as Sheena slowly began listening to it, she shut up and took her time calming down to the song. She then went back to her chair and seriously thought of some sounds to accompany it. The song lasted for 4 parts if I remember, a slow epic intro with a smashing bass line and some arpeggios to accompany them, a quick played chorus with both my hands playing these complex arpeggio/chord combinations, a bridge where the synths would have their time to shine(this is also the part where I play the smooth notes) and an outro composed of these complex time signatures and arpeggios. If it wasn't that obvious, I'm inlove with arpeggios, those notes that go up and down real quickly are really pleasing to the ear.. Sheena quickly thought of how the synthesizers would accompany the song, and that's to put some "space" sounds to it, creating a symphonic space rock song. For the first time since we met, Sheena and I finally felt comfortable with each other, it was like all the hatred between us went away just because of music.

We practiced nonstop for 3 hours a day and 6 days a week, we were determined to win the competition for different reasons. I wanted to win this just for good clean fun, while Sheena wanted to kick her brother's ass in the competition, which looked a bit impossible. Finally, the day of reckoning has arrived, we got into the venue at around 7:30, 30 minutes before the competition started, we then lined up to a seriously long one. We were the only ones who wore silly costumes with Sheena wearing a long black gown and me wearing a suit, but with the signature spiky hair ofcourse! Everybody stared at us like we were some freakshow, Sheena looked even more embarrassed as she looked over at her brother who was wearing baggy clothes along with his band.

"Well we looked really prepared for this, a little too much.." I said with a snicker..

"Shut up! You're making me nervous!" whispered Sheena as she elbowed me in the chest real hard, all I could say was Ow..

Suddenly, this guy in a black shirt went up to us and asked us our names, we replied and he gave us this card with some numbers written on it. We had to wait for a few more minutes before we would perform. We were both really nervous and at the same time excited to show off the masterpiece we have created, but for now all we could do was wait..
