The Story Of A Band-Untitled, chapter 1
Damn Monday. I HATE Monday. My Name is Hannah, I am 14 years old, and I'm way too tall at 5'9" with black and red hair, blue eyes, and...I'm stopping now, yeah, you get the point. I wake up at the usual too early 6:30 to catch the bus at 7:30 my school is like 6 suburbs away so walking or riding is out of the question. Stupid uniform haha its like this weird white blouse with blue stripes and a skirt (which is new to me cause i don't like skirts). Any way enough about me I'm walking to the bus stop at the end of the road, Dad has to follow me...man you would think they would stop doing that in grade 4. I get on the bus and wait two stops for a sort of friend Bianca. She's really nice but likes to, in a joking way, make fun of emos.
She gets on the bus, the usual hello, bit of chat, and then on to my ipod. Ahh Green Day and Blink 182 are my wake up call. All the girls at St Patricks are all very girly...not me. I'm a punk-emo all the way. One hour later, we finally get there. I go in the school grounds to go meet my friend, and drummer for the band, Alice who is being followed by Alissa. I don't like Alissa, she just follows Alice like a dog. "Hi Hannah how are you" said Alissa trying to act all nice.
"Hi..Alissa" I try to say nicely but it comes out very fake, "Hi Alice how was your weekend mine was pretty crap haha" I say to Alice with no avail. "I'll come back later, will I Alice?" I say in my most sarcastic tone.
"Oh sorry Hannah Alissa was telling me about her convo with Ashton (a dude I once liked but no more but everyone seems to think i still do)" she finally said. At this stage I walk off to go find Becky, the Bass player "Heya Becky" everyone pokes her, she likes to hit them back.
"Heya look at this..." she shows me this awsome badge. I want it.
Later that Day
Lunch. The time we get to have a break from these loser teachers. We are going to do band practice in the music room. Finally, I can do what I love doing. I grab my guitar, Becky grabs her bass and Alice grabs her drumsticks. "And a one, two, three" We start playing Jesus of Surbubia after 3 minutes Alice's phone starts ringing "Hold on guys, Hello..Oh Hi Ryan (a very lucky dude who is in L.A and works in the record company and knows my favorite bands.) yeah Hannah's here... hold on I will get her" she gives the phone to me
"Hello?..." I say.
"Hey this is Ryan, Alice's friend, has she told you that your letter to Green Day has been read by them?" he said.
"Oh My Fucking God. Really? Thats so awsome... so what did they think?" I said, so full of exitement.
"Yeah they are planning to ring you tonight, they really liked your letter" he said so calmly.
"HOLY CRAP!" I screamed. Becky and Alice got scared.
"Ok I have to go... say bye to Alice for me, BYE" then Ryan hung up the phone. I stood there frozen to the spot. I turned my head and said in little words....
"Green Day are going to ring me tonight."
