Life is hard, Love is harder

Chapter 16| Music is War

"This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race"

Evan started singing along a bit loud, so I had to elbow his side so he can stay quiet.

"This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race"

"I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate,
Oh so intricate"

"I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate,
Oh so intricate"

She stopped playing and started growling. "She knows..." I said as I started walking slowly to my room. She threw a shoe at me and I turned around, seeing fire in her eyes. "Never spy on me again!" She yelled as she gets ready to chase me. I panic and ran to my room, closing the door on Evan. He ran and hit the door. I heard him knocking really hard while yelling, "LET ME IN! THE DEMON IS GOING TO KILL ME!"

I grabbed my backpack and pulled out her hat and bandana. I opened the door and Evan fell, hitting the floor. He slowly crawls inside my room and hides under my bed. Luna started running to me but I stopped her by putting the bandana on her mouth. She stopped and took the bandana from me and stared at it. I put her hat on her also and kissed her forehead. "Sorry for spying on you, Sis." I said. She smiled and put the bandana around her neck and pulled it up, to cover her mouth. "Thanks, Jon." She said and walked back to her room. I grabbed her hand to stop her.

"Hey Luna, you like playing the guitar, right?" I asked. "Yeah." She replied. "Well, Evan told me there's a contest and I want to join. Wanna be in our band?" I asked while jumping up and down. "Sure." She said as she pat my head. "Let's win this!" I yelled proudly.

|Three Weeks Later|

Today was the day of the contest. Everyone from the school was here and there was 4 teachers at the desk, the orchestra teacher, the chore teacher, the principal and vice principal. There was a big whiteboard next to them that was a chart with everyone's band name.

Evan, Luna, and I practiced almost everyday. I play the drums, Luna and Evan got the guitar and Luna sings. There was kinda a war between them for who plays the guitar. I ended telling them that they can both play it.

"Welcome everyone to the battle of the bands!" The principal said. Everyone started cheering and the kids who plays the drums threw their drum sticks in the airs. I decided to do the same with mines. "Let's begin!"

In the corner in my eye, I saw Alex and a couple of his friends, giving me a death stare. I just turned to them and wave with a goofy smile on my face. He just gave me the finger and turned back.

|Time Skip|

A couple of bands were totally amazing. Some were shitty and wasn't taking the content too seriously. Two boys wrote a song about how shitty the school was which was pretty funny. They both got in trouble and we probably won't see them in a while.

"We should go to the backstage right now since we're next." Evan said. We all got out of our seats and walked to the back. Luna and Evan grabbed their guitars and started playing a bit.

Alex walked towards us when they finish playing. "Good luck beating us, fuckers. We're going to win this battle." He said as him and his friends walked away. Luna growled and was about to hit him with her guitar, but I had to hold her back.

"Next up, The Pringles." The principal said. Everyone laughed at our band name. Evan picked it and I think it was awesome. Luna doesn't really like it but she went along with it.

We all walked to the stage. Everyone started laughing at me and said, "HEY LOOK ITS MASK FREAK!" And, "GET OFF THE STAGE, MASK FREAK!" Evan walked up to me and lifted up his guitar to cover both of our faces. He kissed me softly on the lips to make me feel better.

I got to drums and we all got into place and started playing Sugar We're Goin Down. (Look for teh song and play it if you want)

I drummed my heart out and Luna was singing amazing. I kept looking at Evan and he was fantastic. Girls were just staring at him and kept yelling his name. It made me made a bit but then calm down.

(Just keep listening to the song from here :3 if you don't like it then end it and move on.)

When we finished, everyone looked at me in shock. Then everyone started getting out of their seats and started cheering. "I NEVER KNEW HE WAS THAT GOOD!" "THEY WERE AMAZING!" They all yelled. The principal then erased our band name and wrote it on the second round.

We all bowed and walked off the stage. We passed Alex and his friends, showing them evil grins. Luna then booty bump Alex and walked away laughing. "Bitch." I heard Alex said.

|Time Skip|

Everything was amazing. We got to the semifinals with 3 other bands. We were going up against Alex's band next. A band called Tazzmai's already won their battle. So if we win, we go against them next in the finals.

Alex and his gang walked out of the stage and we walked out.

We got ready and started playing I Don't Care. I saw Alex in the corner of my eye, looking at Luna. He evilly grin then walked away. I had a bad feeling in my stomach.

(Same thing like I said with the other song :P)

When we finish, the principal called out Alex's band. We were both on the stage and waited to hear who the winner was. Luna and Evan were both holding my hands tightly.

"The winner is... The Pringles!" We all cheered and hugged each other. "Get ready for the finals now, guys." The principal told us as she walked off the stage. Alex walked over to us and held out his hand. "Good job, The Pringles." He said. "Uh... Ya..." I said, slowing shaking his hand.

He moved closer to Luna. "Hey Luna, I want to show you something." He said to her. She looked at me and shrugged. "Alright?" She told him. "Lu-" "Jon, I'll be ok" She told me. Alex put his arm around her but she pushed him away. They both walked out of the stage and went outside.

It's been 5 minutes since they left. I started getting worry about her. Evan put his hand on my shoulder and said, "she's ok.." Suddenly, we heard a scream from outside. I knew it was Luna and I ran to the door.

"Luna!" I yelled as I opened the door.
