7:00 a.m.
I woke up to the sound of the alarm, and all I could think
'Shit'
I rose up and just thought today is the day I go to a school where music brought me, I hope everything happens for a reason..
"Oh crap where's the uniform? Shoot..."
I looked everywhere for it and then I totally forgot my mom washed it and prepared it
"Okay let's see, on the couch? No..."
I was looking all around, first time I felt rushed into things
"Is it here?... dang it.." I was looking everywhere and I went back into my room
"Looking for this?-"
"AHHH!! Mom don't do that!" And I grabbed the clothes and shut my door
"Hey don't be in a rush, I'll make you breakfast.." I shouldn't start the day embarrassed, I needa compose myself
"Okay Bach your okay, you are gonna go to school go straight to Mr. Oscar and explain to him you can't.. or try the plan with Trinity.. or see Clara.. goodness I gave myself options.." I proceeded to put on my clothes and went the bathroom
"What in the h- I look like a foreigner!"
"I tried to tell you-"
"Hey don't peak!"
"Well it's a nice color Bach, can't deny that.." well she wasn't wrong. I proceeded to brush my teeth and wash my face
"Oh man that feels better, where's my back pack- oh wait I'm getting new things today, duh." Sometimes I can't think
"Okay Bach I made something simple come eat!" I put on my socks and gone to the table
"Oooh eggs and pancakes, thank you mom!" I didn't rush to eat, but I didn't feel nervous, yet..
"Okay it's 7:42, should I head out mom?"
"Well Bach, I'm not sure either, first thing is go there and get your supplies so I don't have to get them when you forget." She had a point
"Okay okay, well I hope this is a good start for me mom, I'll make sure not to be involved in a big group."
"That's the idea, but if you get a girlfriend make sure you let me know, so no diseases get to her-"
"MOM!!"
'SHUT'
"Oh man Bach, compose yourself.. alright 7:45, let's go.." I wanted to feel good about today, but nerves just kicked in
"Crap all the girls are going to look at me... or did they get notified??? Goodness I think way to much.." as I was walking toward the café that leads to the school I seen a group of girls with the same color as my uniform, I didn't know to feel scared, or to just keep going
"Keep going Bach your fine, don't look at them, you are fine..." and I kept my face forward and I used my peripheral vision to see if they are looking at me, and of course
"Hey are you are the new guy to our school huh?.." and I stopped in my tracks and turned around
"Yes I am, I'm Bach-"
"We didn't ask for your name we just wanted to know, go to Mr. Oscar so he can protect you... for now.." and the girl turned back to the group and talked among themselves, and I proceeded on to the school..
Showing up to the gate I seen Euphomo as she said she would, so I felt happy for once today, as I was jogging to her
"-Oh hey Bach!"
I stopped in my tracks again, it was Trinity, she felt eager
"Wow you look like a pervert!-"
"THATS NOT HOW I WANT THIS!!"
She chuckled
"And remember we are still going to do that test after school, when a lot of the girls are gone, and also don't feel scared, there are guy teachers, but not freaky.." well thanks
"Oh okay.. well I gotta talk to Euphomo. She is helping me with the supplies-"
She stomped loud in front of me
"That girl? Really? Well... I see why he chose her.." she had a sad face
"Well okay Bach, remember after school meet in room D-6 that's our club okay?" She grabbed my hand and slapped myself with it
"Owe-"
"Yeah wake up because girls here, will stare you down.." and she took off to the gate, and Euphomo was still there so I walked to her, her pretty hair in a ponytail, she looked at me with her charming blue eyes
"Are you done?"
"OHH, goodness sorry so where do we go?"
She got up from the wall and she started to walk towards the school, and already eyes drew to me, but I knew I had a mission and that is go to Mr. Oscar and get my things
"Why is there a boy here? He's matching us, what is going on?" I can hear almost everyone talking about the situation, as I was walking up the steps, Euphomo stopped me
"Okay listen up Bach, the history of a boy being here is very bad, Mr. Oscar understands this, of course I wasn't around for this, but still if anything happens bad that you cause, even if you flirt with a girl that is bad in this school" I felt the presence of a serious person in front of me, well if I was to play in a concert right now...
"But don't think that, you'll be fine, let's go.." and we continued on to his office, walking in was a wonderful experience, going from a all guy school, of dark colors, to a pretty out witted school, floors are nice and clean, and the lights brighten up, this is a change. Upon heading to the office area I can see Mr. Oscar outside wearing a all black suit as always
"Aha! Bach! You made here in one piece!" A compliment or advancement
"Good morning Mr. Oscar, I will leave him to you now," she turned around towards me
"See you in the club later.." and she walked off, and now a man insight to talk to
"Bach Sebastian, welcome to Ocarina High, you are welcomed by me, of course girls here hate guys, but no worries, I will put out an announcement for you, to let them know you won't do anything to harm them." Well I felt a little better
"Now, here is your backpack, with your musical folder, do what ever you please with it, but this paper here is important for you.." he gave me a paper with two dates, major dates
"Music Festival, and the yearly competition, in two months? Sir do you think I'll be ready for this?-"
"Bach no worries!! I don't know if you know yet, but you are in the musical club, the only one close to music we got! You remember Trinity? Well she is the proud president, and a wonderful bass player, and Euphomo, our wonderful singer, and you may not have met yet, but Clara, our best guitarist here, you will have a splendid time!" More or less I met them, so Euphomo is a singer huh? But I can't turn down a chance, but one thing I wanted to ask
"Sir, I may say, there is something weird with me that comes to music when girls are around me..." he gave me another tilted look at me
"Bach.. Bach, it's fine, look how about this, if you have a fear to play in front of girls, then I'll host one class to watch you play-"
"Woah no no, sir that's not what I'm asking-"
"Bach it's fine! We need to overcome your fears! Class is starting, Euphomo lead him to his class, and Bach have a wonderful time at this school!.."
"But sir!-.."
*SHUT*
He shut the door in front of me, can't blame him
"Well okay Euphomo where's my-" oh wait she took off, did he forget to?
"Oh goodness all the girls are going to class and I'm the only one out still.." I stood in the middle of the hall. And all the doors shut, from conversations, to complete silence
"Okay okay, Bach don't worry just find your class... where's the schedule!" I kinda panicked and searched the bag he gave me looking at all the papers I had
"Okay.. okay... ah! Okay let's see, music theory? Huh I don't see any core classes, am I in college or what?" I noticed the number on it read class D-5, I looked at the hall numbers and seen im near class A-1 so I needed to head up stairs
"Goodness okay lets go.."
I sped walked my way up the stairs until I hit the third last floor, I thought to myself if I'm in a class D wouldn't there be a fourth floor? I looked down the hall a noticed a dead end, and looked the other that led to double doors, so I sped walked over there and noticed it read D-1 so I was close, I went through the doors and passed like a bridge to another school, and seen all the pretty trees as I passed I stopped to look
"Wow these look nice-"
"I'm guessing your Bach?-"
"AAH goodness!" I turned to my right to see a old man in a grey suit, he looked very kind
"I'm guessing your the new boy who is in music theory?" I nodded, and he showed me the way
"Ahh I hope you understand what happened when we had a boy once before to not happen again right?" He turned before he entered the door
"Well... I have heard about it, but I'm here to do not such thing sir.."
"Very well.." he opened the door and he entered in first behind the podium
"Ladies, this is your new classmate, not one like before, be kind, and HE will return, this is Bach.." he waved me in, all ready the girls talked among themselves knowing it's a weird boy name, but I walked in and bowed
"I am thankful for joining this school, I will not do no harm, I am here only for music, nothing else..." I felt good about that and I looked up
'Oh my goodness we have blondes, red heads, dark heads, even a couple of white hairs and blue, and I'm a plain black!-'
"Bach your seat is in front of miss Tera.." I looked around to see the one empty seat, and then saw her, a natural dark haired girl, couldn't be too bad I mean they know I look like a nerd
"You May have a seat and class will start.."
"Thank you" I went off to my seat and I could feel the eyes looking at me as I sat down
"I hate boys like you.."
This voice is so angelic, I can tell Tera doesn't like me already, she is.... mean
'Thanks?..'
I wanted to say it but it'll be a bit rushed
"Okay class today we are going to talk about circle of fifths, I have told you we will discuss this topic on a later date, but felt this would be a good time, who can tell me what key has five sharps?.." he raised his hand for anyone to respond, I didn't want to answer right away because of how much of a nerd I am
"Let's see, Tera do you know?."
"Hmmm, I'd say E major?"
"Your very close! Anyone else? What about you Bach?" Oh no it all came down to me, just say B and it's all right-
"It's B major, and the relative minor is G sharp, or to have an easier way, instead of reading it in G Sharp, read it in A flat minor.." oh no I went to far
"Oh goodness Bach we haven't made it that far yet but I like the spirit!" That was a good answer but I can hear the girls around me talk among themselves, like I called all of them bad names and like their calling me out one by one
"Hey nerd boy if you think your going to have a good school year think again, your smart, but that's doesn't change anything, I'll never forgive any guy who shows up in front of me.." I felt her breath as she spoke to me in my ear, now I feel scared..
"Okay class now let's just talk about the whole reason why we study this..." he began to talk, now was my chance to look around and see from an all guy school to this, it feels different but almost a boys dream, the only guy here, man many things can happen, wait, Trinity is in this class?
"Sir!" She raised her hand
"Yes Trinity.."
"What did Bach mean by reading G Sharp minor into A flat minor?.." oh no it comes full circle
"Well you see Trinity-"
"Sir if I may.." Tera raised her hand
"Oh. Uh of course.."
"Since Trinity asked the meaning by Bach, could he answer and you could check if he is correct?" Oh no why am I in a stand still like this
*gulp* "ahem well-"
"Better yet go in front of the class and write it down for us." She was more forceful
"Or better yet you play it for us-"
"STOP!!" We all looked at Trinity, the whole class was chattering the situation, could it be she didn't want me to play..
"I would like Bach to write it down for me, that's all.. sorry Sir.."
"Oh oh it's fine, well Bach if you may grant her wish.." this could be my chance to be smart and get shown some respect
"Alright, if I may.." I got up from my seat and gone to the chalk board, I wrote down the G Sharp minor scale, and the A flat minor below it on the ledger lines on the board
"As you see the reason I have said this is because you can choose which way you want to read it, which ever is easy perhaps.." I felt like a teacher for once
"Now as you see this G Sharp is the same as A Flat, this is called enharmonic note, meaning it's written different but sounds the same, correct sir?"
"Yes Bach"
"So with that in mind these two scales are the same, but one is sharp and one is flat, you can read it which ever feels best, that's why if I was to write out the circle of fifths..." I felt like I can take this a whole new level
"You can see the minor G Sharp, crosses with the minor A flat, meaning it can be played the same..." Hmm I get I did that perfectly
"So why don't you play it for us?"
Huh?
"If you know this so well, why not play it for us, or are you lying?" Tera is trying to do something, does she know something or is she just toying with me
"Uh uhhhh" now I don't know what to do..
"Oh a yeah Bach I forgot you don't know how to play piano right?" Trinity spoke out for me once again, saving me
"Oh really? I'm guessing you know her?"
"Well we are in the same club.." and all the girls looked back and forth at Trinity and me, thinking something of a close relationship, but none of it
"Okay okay girls, don't worry, Bach you did wonderful, allow me to play for you guys, if you may Bach help me get the keyboard.." oh man I felt relieved, and as I got the keyboard I can see Trinity looking at me and nodded
"You may sit down Bach, girls what do we say?"
"THANK YOU FOR TEACHING US.." I felt heart warmed, but that was only a fluke
"Okay if I may please look at the guide on the board as I play, I will play G Sharp minor to show it first..." The first day I got called out to show something I'm good at, but it was only to get shown as a fool, already I don't like this, but I know Trinity will help me at some cost..
"Ah Bach I thought you know how to play? Or was that break too long? If someone's knows this much, should they know piano for a long while, or is that why you don't want to play in front of any girls?" How does she know that? The only time I said that was at the café, dont tell me-
"I was at the café when you told Clara everything, I was sitting right behind you, and I heard the story you told her, now why is it that you this and still came here? Is it something you want to do? Why do you lie Bach?.." oh no, why why, why now? I'm sweating more than usual, she is going to make me play at some point and I shouldn't, or I'm dead meat..
"What's wrong? Because Mr. Oscar enjoys your playing you wouldn't want to make him sad would you? Wouldn't be nice if you lied about this right?" Oh no she is getting me, I'm sweating even more, and shaking-
*DING DONG*
^Morning my sweet students of Ocarina high, this is a important announcement..^ it's Mr. Oscar, oh wait he said he was going to announce-
^today we have a new comer, not one of before, his name is Bach Sebastian, please be kind to him, a talented musician at that, he is nothing more than a student, and a friend, that is all I ask, please continue this day and have fun..^ and it ended, my nerves calmed down, but I still hear the girls chattering about me
"Woah woah girls calm down, let's get back into this, as I was saying..." I really don't think the announcement changed anything at this point, not even
"Oh so he wants to protect you huh? I see he doesn't know about you. Your a nice guy, nothing more I see, well know this Bach-" she pulled me back and my head fell back looking into her brown eyes with piercing eyeliner
"I will find out about you, why you came here knowing what you have, I will have you perish for what is to come, do you understand??" I gulped the spit in my mouth and she let go, and I went back up and just sat there the rest of the time scared....
"And that's all about it for now, and we are out of time, have a good afternoon class.." the rest of the time after what Tera told me I just sat there thinking about it and didn't want to hear anything else, I felt scared, all the girls left and Trinity came up to me
"Hey Bach are you alright?" I looked up to see Trinity looking down at me and she seen me teared up
"I knew Tera was mean to you, I hate how she is, I'll give her my taste on this-" she tried to walk off but I grabbed her arm and stopped her
"No... it's fine, she doesn't understand at all, at first I thought she was going to make me play because she knew, but she does.. All of this.. could've gone to hell..." I let go and she understood
"What? How? You didn't tell her did you?"
"She was at the café when I told Clara, she listened in and thinks I'm just doing this just to have the girls on me, I knew someone would get the wrong idea.." I looked down again
"Look let me show you the club room, we will figure this out after lunch okay? And I'm glad you met Clara, she is shy but if you told her it's good, now let's go Clara should bring a helpful lunch for us in there, c'mon"
For once I feel like I'm being helped for my problems again, she is trying to help me, once I figure this out then I don't have to be scared anymore
"Okay.." I got up and put up my stuff in my bag and she showed me which room it was, just one room down
"Okay Bach this is it, welcome to the Musical Club, tho I wanted you to be in a good mood, man Tera has to ruin it..."
"It's fine Trinity, it's the thought that counts, but the thing is..." I felt worried about something I didn't know
"Do you think she would understand what our plan is?.." Trinity gave me a blank look
"Well if I'm going to be honest she rarely talks to any of us, she isn't normally around us..." I put in some thought about that, of course I'm a guy and she would hate me for that, but I feel she just wants to win in this game
*knock knock*
"Hey guys..." it's Clara, holding a platter of what looks to be rice balls
"I have food for us.." shy as ever
"Hey Clara! Thank you so much for bringing us lunch, luckily Bach here is happy to be in here.." she looked at me and didn't want me to be down about this, I mean Clara went her way to get us food so
"Oh yes, yes I am! Thank you Clara!" We all had happy faces and pulled a table and chairs out and sat down during lunch and chatted for a bit, talking about the festival, the competition, what music to expect for us to play, I felt I belonged with them, just a bunch of musical nerds, but I had one important question
"Hey guys quick question.." they both looked at me
"Ummm... since this is a all girl school.. where's the restroom? For guys?.." I put my hand on my head, Trinity thought I was serious
"Hey don't sound like that unless it's something serious! And well, there is if you go out the door and turn left you'll see a single men's restroom, only for the teachers but of course your a guy so go ahead.."
"Sorry I didn't mean to sound like that.." I got up and went outside, and headed towards the restroom
*knock knock*
I didn't hear anyone respond, so I went inside and began to do my business, wasn't no time I thought about what could happen next, more drama, or more hate
"Man I feel much better- huh? Where the paper towels? I swear they were just here?.." I looked around all over, but couldn't find any, I swear when I walked in they where right on the sink, no matter, I dried it off my clothes, and walked out
"Looking for this?..." I turned around to see Tera holding the paper towels in her hand
"Did you walk in there while I was peeing?-"
"Should've locked it, guess I gotta tell Mr. Oscar you don't respect the uniform he got you.." what is her plan
"Tera what is your problem with me? You should be the on one trouble you walked in while I was doing my business-"
"And you walked in this school a lie Bach, I wouldn't trust no guy, even if his friends say so.." she threw the paper towels back at me
"You have tomorrow to prove that you aren't here to get girls, if playing does do that then you should burn in hell, would be sad for Mr. Oscar to bring a waste of a talent just to have him do what he wants.." never in my life I had someone hate me this much
"Why are you doing this?-"
"I should ask you the same, surprised you don't recognize me.. hmph"
And she walked passed me with a mean attitude, I put the paper towel back and gone back to the club
"Hey Bach did you find it fine?-"
"Tera is planning for me to play in front of the girls, because I'm a lie..." I said that out right rude, but Clara and Trinity had a sad face on them
"Ughhh, that girl I swear all she does is want to cause trouble, what else did she say?"
"I have tomorrow to prove her in class that I'm not lying, if I really am here to play for what I love then what I have shouldn't be a problem... she will report me to Mr. Oscar about this.." Trinity stood up tired of it
"Okay Bach we are definitely trying this right now-"
"Hold on Trinity I learned something from my dad, it had to do with drums.." I stood there waiting for a response
"Well your dad knows you best, and if it'll help bring out the toms and I'll get the keyboard I'm tired of this!.." she grabbed the keyboard and plugged it in while I grabbed the toms and drum sticks, I felt nervous knowing it's happening now
"Clara if you don't want this please leave..." Clara stood up and grabbed Trinity's hand
"Well... okay let's see, what will you do?.." I stood in front of the tom and held the drum sticks and played a simple rhythm, and I stopped I looked up they didn't move
"My dad told me I did this once before, played the drums then I played the piano and nothing happened to his friends wife, if it worked before it should now..." I took a deep breathe
"Okay well let's see if this works, I'm going to play the solo I played that day, I'm sorry if you cling to me-"
"Just do it Bach I'm.. we are ready.." Trinity looked at Clara and they nodded, this will prove if I'm really worthy to play here...
