THE APPLAUSEI gave myself a once over in the front seat mirror of Jackie's car and let out a whoosh of air. The anxiety of tonight's concert was getting to me big time. Everything was weighing on my shoulders since this is the first concert since Jessica left and I needed to make sure I made a good first impression.The curly mass of my hair was thrown up into a huge messy bun. The tendrils sticking out framed my face but didn't cover the edge design Jackie made with my baby hairs. My makeup was gothic, complimenting my brown skin with deep brown eyeshadow, thick winged eyeliner, pink cheeks, and a shiny black lip.As for my outfit, I went for high-waisted ripped, chained jeans, ankle boots with platforms, and a black spacious crop top with black and white striped sleeves going down to my wrists.On my neck is a thick leather choker with hanging silver chains looped around each other and a cross in the middle of the leather strap. Identical cross earrings were hanging from my ears an

FRIENDSI couldn't sleep all night and it was all because of stupid Brendan. Before he left he warned me not to get my hopes up about London remembering anything he said last night and to watch out for his rage episode.So here I am, at 6 in the morning ready to head to the airport. I can't go without Jackie obviously because she is my ride but at least I'm ready.Against my better judgment, I decided to make breakfast for London and myself which was just plain old waffles. After plating them up I grabbed a bottle of aspirin from the medicine cabinet and set it beside his food with some water.Hopefully, he wouldn't be so angry when he sees this gesture of kindness, though I wasn't counting on it. Everything gets the guy angry.Huffing I began eating my breakfast while scrolling through our band's Instagram account. The excitement from the fans was contagious and their comments had me smiling through a mouthfuls of food.The more comments I read, the faster my heart throbbed and I cou

BREAKING THE RULESTo say I was annoyed was an understatement. Another week has passed and London's been avoiding me like the plague. He hardly responds when I'm talking, he leaves lunch early and he dashes out of our classes as soon as the bell starts. He only really interacts with me when we're at practice and still he won't even look at me.I don't know what I did to be so repulsive to him but he better get it together. Tomorrow the band is flying to Ohio for our weekend tour and my first real performance. We got exemptions from classes for both tomorrow and Monday.Danny wasn't too pleased about me flying off on my own but she made me promise to call her as soon as we arrived and before and after concerts of which we have 4 to do.At the moment we're packing up the instruments we used in the music room for practice. The others had left, leaving only London and I in the tension he created.Halfway through the silence I sighed and turned to the ignoramus of a band captain with folde

SLEEPOVERS & LATE VISITSJackie was quiet in the car for a while as we drove to my neighborhood, a ridiculously amused smile sat smugly on her face."I never thought I'd see the day," she suddenly sniggers, catching my attention. I already knew what she was talking about and honestly I was too mentally tired to approach the topic.I sigh, knowing she needed an answer for her to shut up and not bring this up again."Can we not talk about that, Jackie? I just need some cool down time before returning to practice tomorrow," I mumble.She chuckles waving me off, "Hell naw, sister! Not a chance! That's the first time I've ever seen you stand up to anyone!"The high pitch of her voice made me reel back, my face squinging repulsively. "Oh Jackie, come off it!" I snap, "You can bug me all you want all night long about it but now is just not the time."My sour attitude did nothing to dampen my best friend's mood for the rest of the drive. Once we got to my house, I couldn't help but notice the

CONTROLLondon has been in a shitty mood all week and everyone knows it. I've never been shouted at, cursed at, or belittled as much as I was for the past few days and it is exhausting. I hate being yelled at, it always makes me cry but to pacify the situation, I pushed everything down. Like I used to in public school. Today is Friday, and none of us know the source of the band leader's anger.I learned on Monday that the old Victorian house belongs to London. On Tuesday, he was late to school and in a pissy mood. Brendan tried multiple times to talk to his best friend but in true London fashion, as I've noticed this week, he cursed at him to bugger off. That's not even the worst part!I have been the most docile in this situation, making sure not to sing or do the wrong thing while the others kept pressing him for answers. Can you guess who the brunt of his anger is? Me! Me, who has just been sitting here waiting for the storm to pass. Every time we're in the same room he finds a reas

REVELATIONSKen was right. London is definitely not happy with me. During warm-up vocals, he paid special attention to me. If I so much as sang a key slightly off, he'd make me start over until it was to his liking.The boys weren't spared either, London hurled insults and curses their way with every mistake."You wrote the fucking music for this song and you're still fucking it up!" he snarls at them.The song in question is actually my ringtone; Thorn in the Rose. This song is almost entirely London's vocals. He hit notes that I can only dream about hitting.After a few more minutes of London berating his band, he turns in my direction. "Melany, you're on leading vocals for this song."Jackie squeals and stands at her post on a mic next to London's guitar.Hooded dark blue eyes stare at me intensely, "If you need the lyrics-""I already know them," I interrupt before breathing out. The impressed look in London's eyes goads me on as I take my place at the standing mic angled halfway t

INVISIBLE NO MOREIt's Monday.It's Monday and for the first time in my life, I am dreading school. Everyone must have heard by now. I have no doubt. First, the nobody, AKA me,is chosen over the elites, by an elite like themselves. And now, they are returning to school.The Elite 4 that chose me, are returning to school. London Morse, Luke and Brendan O'Connor, and Ken Longstruum are returning to school. Crash Course Rebellion is returning to school.It's currently 6 am and I'm already dressed for school which doesn't start until 8. I could barely sleep after the events of last evening. I was dreading walking through the beige halls of Greenhall and seeing the disdain on the faces of hundreds of elitist kids.They already despised me, who knows what they'll do to me now? Of course, Jackie will never let anything happen to me but just how can she protect me from the messages I've already begun to receive?My usual dull Messenger app is now pinging off the hook. How the students of Green

JUNIOR YEARThe local diner is situated on the far side of town. The community voted on it years ago when I was still in public school and decided that it will be nice to have places to go to that aren't too fancy.It didn't go as planned, the diner was built to fit into the style of the community and the menu items are ridiculously expensive at certain times of the year. They've added other small buildings here and there and now the far end of town is considered a ghetto by the wealthier members of our community. I'll never understand rich people.I'm surprised London is even aware of its existence. I love the far side of town because I get to be around people who look like me. Well, those who aren't Jackie."Danielle!" I call as I brush my hair into a bun. I immediately hear the clomping of her footsteps as she marches to my room. Opening the door she gave me a raised brow, "What is it?""I'm going to meet the band at the far end of town," I inform as I stuck bobby pins into my hair.

THE LEAK~"Welcome to Crash Course Rebellion."~The words echo in my head like a mantra as I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling. It still feels surreal that the London Morse said that to me. I sigh as my mind runs back to what happened just two days ago.~2 days ago.....during the audition..... "Relax," Jackie mumbles as she pulls me next to her at the very back of the line. My heart is hitting my ribcage with so much force I can barely even hear her.How in the baloney does she want me to relax? I glance over at the judge's table, the fan girl in me clawing its way out as my eyes land on Crash Course Rebellion's star drummer, Brendan O'Connor.His natural blonde hair is kept short, unlike his best friend's, and his sky-blue eyes can have every girl swooning with just one glance. Even from behind his prescription glasses, he can make all the girls in his vicinity fall at his feet.His arms are eye candy for those in love with muscles and men will kill to have a body as good as h

AUDITIONI noticed the whispers the moment I stepped foot inside Greenhall Academy. The halls were much more clustered today, the bright green uniform seemingly swallowing the cream walls of the school building as students huddle in individual circles.My own uniform started to feel itchy, as people merely glanced at me before returning to their conversations. I've never been a fan of attention yet I somehow always seem to attract people who love it.This school is exclusively for the rich, talented and children of famous parents. I am only here because I got a scholarship paying for my education in full.There's nothing unusual about seeing everyone so whispery, but today they also seem excited. I know it makes no sense to ask anyone in this hallway what's going on because they will not even acknowledge me. To them, I am the scum of the earth. I learned that on my very first day.I'll just have to wait until my best friend arrives and spills all the tea.Jaqueline Mayers; that's her ...
