Chapter 2 - Welcome To CiRCLE!

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Well, I did give it a lot of thought, and..."

"And?"

"I guess it couldn't hurt to check the place out, and if it's okay with you, I can work there part-time if it's okay."

Marina grinned from ear to ear.

"Awesome. In that case, I'll talk to the owner if I can close CiRCLE for a week to do some special training."

"Do you think she'll be okay with it?"

"Yeah, I'm sure. No one has any live performances or rehearsals this week because of school, so it should work out."

"Sounds like a good idea to me."

As agreed, Marina took me to CiRCLE once my classes were done for the day. Thankfully, the owner was okay for her to close CiRCLE publicly during the week that she is training me. Given how I am a fast learner, I probably won't need the whole week to learn everything.

Once I got there, I took a moment to look around. This is my first time stepping inside a live house, and I must admit, it feels different when it's inactive.

"Alright, son! Welcome to CiRCLE!" Marina said as she came towards me. "What do you think of the place?"

"It's an impressive place, I guess." I said.

"Yeah, it's not exactly the best live house in the area, but it has everything we need." She said.

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

"Anyway, shall we get started with your training?"

"Yeah, I'm ready to learn as much as I can." I said and bowed to her.

"Alright, this is what we'll do first..."

A few days later...

This whole week went by like it was nothing. Thanks to Marina's kindness and patience, I was learning a lot, and I think I am starting to get the hang of it. However, all of my training will be put to the test when the girl bands will come back and use the studio room.

Right before Marina and I began to head off for home, she and I began to take a break in the longue. Needless to say, she was very proud of my process.

"You've done an excellent job throughout this whole week, son." She grinned.

"Thanks mom, and thanks for taking the time to train me." I said.

Marina let out a cute giggle.

"There's no need to thank me." She said. "We might not be blood-related, but you're still my son, and I will do whatever I can to help you out."

She then got serious.

"But next week will be the real deal, do you think you're ready for it?" She asked.

"Yeah, I'm sure I am."

"Good to know."

Marina stood up.

"So, shall we get going?"

"Yeah, but before that, is it okay if I do something?"

"What is it?"

"Do you think I can use the studio room and play a song?" I asked.

"Yeah, I don't see any problems with that." Marina nodded.

Thankfully she approved, and with that, I began to head towards the studio room.

I walked into the studio room and I grabbed the nearby guitar, then set it up

I walked into the studio room and I grabbed the nearby guitar, then set it up. Marina has a guitar at home, and she showed me how to set it up all the time.

"Alright, this should do the trick."

I start playing it a few times, hoping that it sounds right, and thankfully, it did.

"Alright, time to pick a song."

After thinking long and hard about it, I decided to play Hero by Skillet.

Hero - Skillet

I'm just a step away, I'm just a breath away
Losin' my faith today
We're fallin' off the edge today
I am just a man, not superhuman
I'm not superhuman
Someone save me from the hate
It's just another war
Just another family torn
We're falling from my faith today
Just a step on the edge
Just another day in the world we live
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero
To save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me
Just in time
I've gotta fight today to live another day
Speakin' my mind today
My voice will be heard today
I've gotta make a stand, but I am just a man
I'm not superhuman
My voice will be heard today
It's just another war
Just another family torn
My voice will be heard today
It's just another kill
The countdown begins to destroy ourselves
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero
To save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me
Just in time
I need a hero to save my life
I need a hero just in time
Save me just in time
Save me just in time
Who's gonna fight for what's right, who's gonna help us survive?
We're in the fight of our lives
And we're not ready to die
Who's gonna fight for the weak, who's gonna make 'em believe?
I've got a hero
I've got a hero
Livin' in me
I've gotta fight for what's right, today I'm speakin' my mind
And if it kills me tonight
I will be ready to die
A hero's not afraid to give his life
A hero's gonna save me just in time
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero
To save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me
Just in time
I need a hero
Who's gonna fight for what's right, who's gonna help us survive?
I need a hero
Who's gonna fight for the weak, who's gonna make 'em believe?
I need a hero
I need a hero
A hero's gonna save me just in time
