"Aw thanks! You're pretty talented as well." She said with a nod, tucking her hair back. Suddenly a guy came over with triple piercings, torn up jeans, leather jacket, and aqua marine converse that matched the color of his hair walked over and with a thud set down a small stack of posters. "Look what I got Rose." "YOU GOT THE POSTERS DONE! FanTASTIC! Our first show!" She smiled and hugged the dude. "Thank you sooooo much, I'll be sure to get these up immediately." "I'm gonna go get a head start on hanging these up." The guy then picked them up and walked off.
Hey…what do you want slacker? Jake looked at her, " i just felt like being around you."
Tempest's eyes lit up as he heard the word 'show' "What kind of show are you doing?" he asked, just a bit of electricity sparking the tip of one of the many messy tuffs of hair that always made his hair look like it held a static charge.
(If Kat starts flirting with Jake, Cora is gonna be right in there)
"Hmm? Oh! I have a small band, we're doing our first ever show this week." She said with a smile. "Though my brother has theater that night. I may need a new keyboardist."
"I'd love to be part of it if you need me. Keyboard always has been easy for me." her smile was contagious and soon Tempest was smiling right back, glad to potentially have a group to be part of already
Kat looked at jake a pulled up her glasses, pretending not to care. He sat next to her and looked at her phone. EYE'S OFF PERV!
(Coffee don't forget about Evan and Karma)
"Oh awesome! I'll get you sheet music and stuff tomorrow so you can practice at home." She said with a wide smile, happy that things were coming together like this.
(I won’t, just give me a sec to put this essay on hold because my education isn’t that important 😂)
Jake looked up and said. " I might be transferring schools entirely this week…" Kat looked at him. Why? is it shit at home? " yeah……my mom is getting a divorce with my dad……and we're moving to another country……" He looked down.
"Coolio I'll make sure to be ready by…what day is it happening?" Tempest looked to his phone for the date
"Friday I think." She said with a shrug, a small smile on her face as she put her head in her arms.
"Alright plenty of time then." He grinned "Thank you for this." He started to move in to give her a thankful hug but stopped Whoa there partner! Personal space is still a thing you gotta remember a little voice in his head told him
Before he could fully pull away her arms were around him and she pulled him close. Personal space? She has 15 siblings that doesn't exist anymore. "Hey you're welcome! Making new friends is always a good thing."
Jake Got up and went to leave, Kat grabbed his arm and asked. what are you doing this friday?
A bit of color rose to his cheeks "Yeah you're right!" he hums gently before pulling away "Plus how could I ever not help someone like you?"
"Oh awwwwww!" She smiled as she blushed. "Awful sweet of ya but Evan can tell ya why helping me sometimes isn't for the best." Evan looked up and sighed. "Evelyn's an idiot that's all ya gotta know."
"She doesn't seem too bad." Karma shrugged, flipping his wrist as if he didn't really care for the conversation that was taking place. He stared down at the table, with a biro pen in hand, and started to etch an eye into the top.
"You haven't know here for 16 years Karma." Evan said with an eyeroll, hand slipping out of Karma's and reaching into his backpack, pulling out a small makeup bag and a hand mirror, and he began to fix his face, muttering angrily about gym class. Evelyn looked over Karma, and then at Evan. "Oh! Evan's single by the way. So am I but that's unimportant." "Shuddup Ev." "Look all you do is drama or write, ya need a love life. Someone to share your passions with and get your tight ass laid." "I said shuddup. Leave me alone and let me do my makeup." "Fine twonk." "Go clear our trays twink." Evelyn took the trays and walked off as Evan continued doing his makeup.
Tempest smiled brightly to himself as this unfolded. It was like the group of friends he had had back where he used to live. While it wasn't going to be the same he felt that this move may not have been such as bad as he initially thought. He pulled his notebook and pencil from his bag and flipped to a half finished hand-written music score he had been working on. Tempest though for a moment and started to scribble in some notes and changed a measure's time signature.
Evelyn came back and sat down, nudging her brother, which only earned her a side glare and an eyeroll. "Oh cheer up buttercup." She said with a wide smile, and then she pulled out her phone. "You. New guy who can play keys. One what's your name, and two, can I have your number?" She asked, looking up at him with big wide blue eyes.
Tempest looked up and nodded a bit, trying to keep a straight face. He told her his number and after that he added "And I'm Tempest Daniels. Most people just call me Temp for short."
"Tempest? What an interesting name. Sounds more the name of a demon then an angel looking guy such as yourself. Then again, looks can be deceiving. I'm Evelyn. Most just call me Ev." She said with a shrug.
