ONE: OPPORTUNITIES

PRESENT TIME: AUGUST 21, 2013, JULIETTE'S POINT OF VIEW.

I RUN THROUGH the very bright hallways of our campus, to Maths making sure not to be late again and be scolded by Mr. Davis, our grumpy, old-looking Maths professor.Once I arrive, I check the clock on the wall,10 minutes early. Wew, thank God. I go inside the classroom, I sit at my usual place, which is at the very back of the class, to avoid Mr. Davis' spitting saliva while he talks about Maths. While patiently waiting for my friends, Leanne, Charles, Nathan and Billie, I glance around the classroom, waiting for other people to come. Then I see them, my friends.

"Hey! Over here!'' I shout at them, since no one else is in this classroom. As I motion them to sit at our usual places, Leanne immediately begins to talk about the new bar her dad owns where famous celebrities go every weekend, leaving us startled and excited because, Yay! another place to have gigs and be discovered. "So, Leanne, are you telling this on purpose so you can get our band get famous and stuff?"' Charles said. "Well actually yes and no," Leanne said.' ''What do you mean?," I ask, confused. "Well duh, It's probably not safe out there for you guys because the bar is just near the place where the bad boys are and i don't know blablabla" Leanne said, picking her nails. ''Oh" Charles said, finally breaking the slience. "But that doesn't change our band's dreams, Leanne" I said, sternly. "Well," said Leanne, prolonging the letter L "I won't be the cause if something happens to y'all". I think of all the things that will happen to us if we enter the bar, I think we can all handle those, but I'm not sure. "Okay, sure" I said, earning nods from Leanne and the boys.

After minutes of chatting with Leanne and the boys, Students fill up the classroom with their friends and sit down in their seats. Finally, Mr. Davis walks into the classroom, teaching random things with numbers on it, as you can see, I'm not really a big Maths fan. So as usual, Nathan, Charles and Billie started talking about random bands and sports and Leanne started talking about Denise, a girl with strawberry-blonde hair and the most popular girl in school, just got a nose job but failed, so she has to wear this humongous hat to cover her face. I should be sorry for her but instead I cant help but laugh, Leanne laughs with me too, Suddenly hear the boys laugh about a thing they're talking about until Mr. Davis got our and the boys attention and gave us detention. Yes, I love detentions.

The class bell rings, finally, its lunch. Me and my friends go through the hallways and decided to go to our usual hangout, this sort of school style gazebo well I don't know what it's called, and talk about our life, goof around an play a game. Leanne, Charles and Nathan leaves me and Billie for a while to buy another box of pizza. This is going to be awkward because Billie and I have been friends for years and I sort of think he likes me, well I kinda like him too but I don't know about that yet. "I love turkey jerky so much" Billie mumbles while eating his food "So, what do you think we'll be performing on the gig?" Billie asks me. "Well, I still don't know, hahaha, I'll tell you and the boys the setlist on maybe tomorrow?", I always think of the songs we are going to play because the boys say that I am the lady and they always tell me "Ladies First!" which is really annoying. Leanne and the rest of the boys arrive without anything, Where the fuck is the pizza? I'm starving, I thought. "Where's the pizza? I'm starving!" I tell them, "The pizza was all bought by that stupid Denise and her friends," Leanne said. God, what do I do. "Um, Jules, I still have a Turkey Jerky sandwich, You can have 'em" Billie said while offering me his sandwich. I accepted it and thanked him, he returned with a cheeky smile. God He's so cute.

Leanne's phone rang, she fumbled through the pockets of her leather jacket and retrieved her phone. "It's my dad, I'll be right back" Leanne said, disappearing slowly. The boys and I engaged through a random conversation and after a while, Leanne got back, "Guys, my dad told me that the band you like uh, Forbidden Jets? Oh yeah, they're looking for a band who will play as a front act for them and maybe you could be the one." Leanne said. What? Oh my God, we can't contain our excitement, I can notice it in their eyes. "So you're telling us we can be the band who will play as a front act?" Charles said, shocked. "Yep." Leanne said. "But the worst part is that its the day after tomorrow so you would have that time to practice and stuff." What the fuck. "Oh" is all I managed to say "So band practice every now and then eh?" I ask the boys "Yeah it sucks" Nathan said "But who cares? We are going to play for Forbidden Jets!" Niall said, "After school at my garage then?" I asked them with a smirk and they all nodded.

This is going to be exciting.
