Description
Jax and I are walking down to the music room. I press the elevator to the basement.
"It sucks that it's down here huh?" I ask. Jax hasn't said a word since or about yesterday.
"Yeah," he says.
"Your jaw?"
"Fine."
We step into the elevator. The doors close and a couple seconds later they open on the basement floor. It was like a whole different world down here.
There were a lot more people in the basement that we weren't expecting to be down here. Or at least, I wasn't expecting them.
It looked like all the clubs were down here, anything that didn't have to do with sports.
Jax and I kept walking though. We went straight to the music room.

"It's your fault that we're down here," Angel says.
"How is it my fault!?" I say.
"It just is! If you hadn't zoned you wouldn't have gotten detention and I wouldn't have gotten pissed. I wouldn't have been here but now I am because of you!"
Angel shuts up as we walk into the music room. There were four people in there. I assumed most of them had detention too. Two of them, a girl and a boy, sitting in desks in the front of the room. The teacher was at the desk in front of the room and she was talking to another girl. I don't remember ever seeing her, and I would remember if I had. She had green hair with pink extensions. She had a one-sleeved shirt and she looked just crazy.
She looked up just as I sat down.
"You are?" she asks.
"Angelo. Angelo Convict," I say.
"Wicked last name. That's you're sister?"
With each word she had come towards me and was now sitting on my desk.
"Yeah," I say.
"Renu, stop fooling around! Come help me take attendance," the teacher says.
I believe her name was Ms. Hitomi, or something like that.
Renu silently counts heads. Then she turns back to Ms. Hitomi.
"Three black heads and one cotton candy. Only four, so we're missing-" she begins. Just then, two cryptic looking blonds walk into the room. I recognized one of them.
"Hi, Titania," I say as she walks past my desk.
She walks past me to the far corner desk and sits down.
The second sits down behind the blue haired girl. Ms. Hitomi stands.
"Okay, well since we're gonna be here awhile, we might as well learn eachother's names, right? You all know me as Ms. Hitomi," she says.
"My name is Renu. I am a student here, I was just forced to take all my classes down here because of my hair and clothes," Renu says. Then she looks at me.
"I'm Angelo," I say. Nothing more.
"I'm Angel. Everyone here should know me," my sister says.
"My name is Ai," the blue haired girl says.
"What an interesting name. Tell me, are your parents Japanese, even a little?" Ms. Hitomi says.
"Yes. My name means 'love'," Ai says.
"My name is Titania. But people have called me Ti or Titanic," Titania explains.
"I'm Shard," the other blond states. Then the black haired boy says something.
"My name is Jax. And believe me, I do not want to be here," Jax says.
Ms. Hitomi pipes up again.
"Okay then. Well, I need to go get something from one of the teachers rooms upstairs. I'll be right back," she says. She leaves the room and Jax gets up to explore. He pulls back a curtain.
"Hey, are any of you musically gifted?" he asks. Renu goes to see what he found.
"Yeah, I am. Those are my drums," she explains.
"What about the guitars and mics?"
"I was hoping I'd be able to start a band."
I get up to see what they were talking about. I gasp when I see it.
There was professional band equipment.

"Ai, come look at this," I say. She gets up and comes to stand next to me.
"Three guitars, one bass, four mics, set of drums, and a piano," she says.
"Hey could you guys sit down again? Please? You're not supposed ti be up and walking around I'm pretty sure," Angel says.
I roll my eyes.
"Just cause you think you're such a hot shot doesn't mean we have to listen to you," I say. Angel crosses her arms and pouts.
Renu sits cross legged on Ms. Hitomi's desk. She starts tapping her hands on the top, making a beat.
I grabbed on of the guitars and played a few chords to match her beat.
Ai started playing the piano and Titania played on of the other guitars to harmonize with mine.
Angelo picks up the bass and plays in time with me and the girls.
Angel starts humming and before long, she's belting out lyrics. And we all stand up and have fun. Renu goes to her drums.
We had a song.
