SOMEONE Save Us

When I woke up and went downstairs and almost had a heart attack.The End.

Just kidding.Let me explain. My mom was home and making 2 mugs of coffee. She passed me 1 and I sipped the delicious beverage. Then we sat down.

"Your home early, I thought you wouldn't be home 'till 9".

She smiled."I wasn't but then my partner said he would clear the other call, it was just a blown tire on the highway. Anyways so I was thinking I could take you out for breakfast and you could skip 1st period".

"Ugh, I wish I could and any other day I would but I have this presentation with this kid. That's why I got home late last night". I was really annoyed because I couldn't go with her.

"Okay well i'm glad to see that you stick to your responsibilities and i'll drive you to school today if you want". She stood up and put the empty mug into the sink.

"Yes please" I ran back upstairs to get ready while she went on the computer.

We arrived at school at 8:21. Which gave me just enough time to grad the school guitar and head off to class. Ugh, I hate being on time. I stopped in by the office just to show Megan that I was there on time.

"Oh wow Frank, good job" I smirked

"Why thank you,see you tomorrow at 9 sharp" Her smile fell into a straight poker face and deadly glare.

I walked out of the office and checked the clock. I have 7 to go. Good thing the Music room was right down the hall from the auditorium.So I didn't need to rush. When I got to the auditorium I saw Artsy talking to Mrs.Hill talking. I walked up to the stage and grabbed the guitar. As I walked off Artsy tapped me on the shoulder and grabbed my arm. He almost flung me backwards.

"And this is my presentation partner" He nodded to me. Guess that's my cue.

"Uh, hi Mrs.Hill how are you?" I was a little off guard.

"I'm good Frank, nice to see that you actually showed up for class" She looked over at me as if she was expecting roses and a sappy apology.God I hate preppy teachers.

"Sorry, I just slept in yesterday" I tried to ditch the awkward silence."..so Gerard did you work on those bridge notes yesterday?" I really did care for some reason.

"Yeah it took a while but Mikey said it was really good" He smiled and had a look on his face that made me feel more comfortable in the moment. But I still used it as a signal to get us out of the conversation.

"That's great, uh could I speak to you for a minute outside.?" That works,right?

"Sure, excuse us" He nodded politely to Mrs.Hill.

"Ma'am" I copied Artsy.

He lead me up the aisle and out the door. Then he let out a big sigh and checked to make sure no one else was there. The bell had rang 2 minutes prior and Music was in the auditorium today. I don't know why.

"Yo you okay, you looked really tense in there".

"Yeah...well no i'm not....at all, i'm nervous" He was so stressed he couldn't stay still.

"Why what's up" I was mildly curious.

"Mrs.Hill is so tough to get approval from,like I NEED a good mark,...you know?"

"Not a clue, what's the big deal with it?"

"The big deal is if we mess this up our grade will drop, i'll loose honor roll and you'll get tons of homework that you HAVE to do" I understood but I was still not completely there yet.

"So...why do I care?"

"When you get that kind of homework they force you to do it during free period and you won't have any time to play 'Pansy' after school." I finally hit me.

All I heard was blah,blah,blah no play Pansy.And I was not letting that happen.

"So how do we make sure we pass with excellence?" I started pacing back and forth.

"I have no idea we just have to hope that the chords and your bridge remix work well together"
His eyes grew wider. I actually forgot that they were red.

I thought that was crap but hey I was not loosing Pansy.

"Yeah,that works" He responded and a wave of relief fell over his expression.

Just then we heard the door open and Dallon told us that our presentation was in 5 minutes. Apparently, Mrs.Hill needed us back inside. We each looked at each other and quickly nodded with a 'now or never' expression on both our faces.
