Strings

Music In Room 2

Penelope is a well-behaved and talented teenager. On mornings like this she is not usually in the best mood, but hey no ones likes Monday mornings and certainly not when its a school day. At 16 years of age she usually wakes up at around 6:30 AM just to ensure she will be ready and get to school on time like most teenage girls she likes to look presentable. Her alarm rings loud and clear, rolling over onto her side she groans and stops the constant ringing noise on her phone and then sits up, eyes still closed. She rubs her eyes and then opens them ever so slowly and reaches over to her bedside table to put on her thin framed round glasses, she gives out a final sigh of 'I don't want to get up' before putting her feet on the cold wooden floor. She shrugs on a dressing gown then turns to look in the mirror just for the sake of looking at herself and opens her bedroom door, as she does this the door makes a thud as it hits something in the way. Is it a dead body? No. Could it be a sack of potatoes? No, but close. Its her little brother Theo who seems to be laying face down on the floor, She hits the door against his head again and glares at him, "Why are you on the floor you weirdo?" She questions, he looks up at her and lets out a very very long sigh, "I don't wanna go to school!" He says prolonging the 'o' in school as long as he can before getting thumped in the head again with a door several times more. Theo gets up in his pajamas, they are covered in different dinosaurs and have the word 'rawr' written in the center , he gets up slowly and scowls at his sister while rubbing the spot she slammed with door then proceeds his way to the kitchen. 

Penelope goes into the kitchen where breakfast is already there for her, she smiles at the french toast and strawberries and sits down very ready to tuck in. She pierces a strawberry and puts it in her mouth and chews slowly just to get all the flavor she can. She checks her phone and see the message from her friend Jessie asking if she will be walking to school with her today, Penelope replies with a yes of course, she turns her phone off and finishes up her breakfast and hurries up to her room as its already ten to seven.

 She sits down at her make-up desk in front of the window and puts on some music so she can get ready and sing to herself at the same time, dancing to rock music she starts to apply makeup. Your probably wondering what our Penelope here looks like, well, she has mixed skin the colour of a mocha, short dark brown curly hair she usually wears in a low slicked back pony tail, narrow almost black eyes, perfect plump lips and thick brows. Finally she puts on her school uniform and her glasses and packs her bag ready for the day.

Cars pass by as Penelope walks to school with Jessie, she was wearing a new jacket with strange badges all over, "When D'you get that jacket?" She asks, Jessie smirks and looks at her own jacket, "I went to a concert, the guitarist threw it into the crowd and I caught it!" Jessie says smugly with a cheesy grin on her face. "What band?" Penelope quickly replies, not believing her story, Jessie takes a deep breath, "They were called FullDevilJacket" She points to the back of the jacket to show her, "Never heard of them." Penelope sighs, Jessie looks annoyed and puts in two earbuds to block out Penelope.

In the class LD3 there are many different people, there are a few popular people,  quite people, loud people, smart people, dumb people and then there are a group of friends that stand out so much because of the chemistry they have together. Penelope, Jessie,  Adam, Connor and Teo, or as everyone called them 'That band in music room 2' and they liked that it made them feel special. The five friends all sat together while the register was being taken, Teo tapped a beat into the table and the rest of them sat in silence, Teo is the quote on quote "Bad guy" of the group he always misbehaves and is often the one to say his opinions good or bad.  Everyone looked at Teo with angry eyes as he still taps on the table, Connor nudges him to stop but as usual he ignored the efforts his friends made to save him from getting in trouble. Finally the bell went and it was time for the first lesson of the day which was music in their favorite room, Music Room 2.

Everyone sat in the music room and waited for their teacher to show up, this was a new class for the five of them so they sat together away from others. The other students in the room were not like them by the looks of it, in the corner there was an emo boy twizzling drum sticks, 2 girls giggling together and showing pictures on their phones, a group of 4 boys just chatting and two other girls just waiting patiently. "These guys all seem shit." Teo said as he rolled his eyes, Penelope thwacked him in the leg lightly, "No he may be right, I know the guy over there. Hes such a bad bassist." Jessie snickered, Adam, Connor and Penelope looked around the room and tried to guess what everyone played and who seemed friends with who. Suddenly Teo stands up, he walks over to the back of the room where the drums were and sits down at them. He hits one of the drums lightly and then a spark lights up in his eyes. Picking up the drumsticks to his left he starts to play a heavy metal drum beat, he uses every inch of the kit and looks so into it and then... The teacher walks in, he's strict by the looks of it, he at the students then right at teo and bellows so loudly, "GET YOURSELF OFF OF THE DRUM KIT AND SIT DOWN!" Teo looks up confused and puts down the sticks and casually walks over to his seat, not even phased by the teacher shouting he asks a question, "So your our teacher? Your slightly late." He says sarcastically while looking at the clock behind him, everyone rolls their eyes some even face palm at his stupidity. 

"Anyway. Welcome to my class, I am Mr. Tishoo" Teo bursts out laughing, Adam soon shuts him up and they begin their first class of the year.
