"Come on Car!" Sam yelled up the stairs at their house. She watched as her red haired sister ran halfway down the steps before tripping and falling the rest of the way. She quickly stood up. "I'm ok!" She yelled and they ran out the door, catching the brightly painted bus for Hollywood High. When they boarded they were blasted with music being made by the kids on the bus. Some were banging drumsticks against the windows and seats, while others were beat-boxing, playing an instrument, stomping their feet against the ground or just dancing. Car and Sam danced down the isle, high-fiving their friends as they plopped down into a seat. Sam took out her drumsticks and Car took out her guitar, which had been placed in the back, behind their seats. They started to play along with the rest of the bus as the driver rolled out to head to the next houses to pick up the rest of the students.

The 19th screech of Price's alarm clock was the final reminder that he was almost late for school, and that the bus would be here any second. "Ah, Crap!" He yelled, as he jumped out of bed, and Slipped on a pair of pants. He grabbed his necklace, cellphone, and backpack, as he ran out the door to catch the bus. As he opened the front door, the morning air hit his bare chest, and he realized he forgot to put a shirt on. He ran back in the house, put on a light blue aeropostal shirt, and a quicksilver belt, and raced back out towards the bus. When the yellow giant's doers opened, here ears were almost maimed by the blasting noice of music. He wouldn't have it any other way. He walked down the isle, and took a seat on the opposite side of Carly and Sam. "Hey! Carls! Sammy! Was up?" he yelled over the loud sound of music.

"NAOOOOO-CHAAANNNNN WAKE UP!!!!" Kazu said, throwing a spare pillow at her face. "Kazu, shut up or you'll wake Onii-Chan and he'll get mad!" Nao said, jumping out of the bed and throwing a nearby pen at the older guys forhead, getting him right on target. "Ouch! your so mean" he mumbled, slowly going out of her room. "Why is he so immature? he was in a Yakuza for gods sake!" she grumbled as she began to get dressed. She ended up wearing ripped black skinny jeans and a tight black and white striped tanktop, leaving her curly brown hair down instead of putting it into two pony tails like usual, but of couse still having her choker. "Nao-Chan, are you up?" she heard a few minutes later, coming from outside her door, "Yeah Onii-Chan, I just finished getting-" all of a sudden she heard the screech of the bus stopping, it was really easy to hear when the house was quiet considering it was right next to the at the corner. "Craaaappp~!" Nao yelled, grabbing her backpack and petting the still asleep multi-colored cat real quick before banging her bedroom door open, "Sorry Onii-Chan" she said after hearing the door smack him in the face "yeah~" he groaned as she ran out of the house, Kazu just staring at the event with wide eyes, he probably should stay with his cousins more often!

Nao got to the bus just as it had started as was about to leave the curb, "wait!" she yelled, smacking the doors. She grinned as the bus stopped and the doors opened, getting a glare from the driver. She looked around the loud bus with a wide grin, she was so lucky she had such a rowdy school, they barly had any time to pay any attention to her. She sighed as she took an empty seat, immidiatly beaing squished as someone decided to change seats. She rolled her eyes and smiled and she pulled her white DS from the black backpack, she had put silver rings all though it though so it was a little ripped up. All of a sudden she realized that all she had on was black white and silver, so she took out a sharpie and put a purple dot on her hand with a grin 'I'm so stupid she thought as she began to play Kingdom Hearts.

Music blasted from her radio clock and filled the room as Starflower stayed curled in the sheets, wiggling around and dancing to the music before realizing her first day of school was today. "Oh no! No, no, no, no, no!!!" She moaned, rolling out of bed as she rushed to get ready, doing her morning exercise, meditation and routine all in record time. Quickly, she took a quick shower, brushed her teeth and hair and ran out of her bathroom just in time to see the bus fly by her house! "Crap!" She cursed, literally diving into her closet only to trip and hit the ground as she tugged on her black skinny jeans. "Come on! Or I'll be late!" She grunted, tugging them on and buttoned then as she threw on a red, long sleeved, off the shoulder top, a black tank top, her high tops and a cute black and red neko skull cap.

Quickly, she threw on her messenger her bag and stuffed her things into it and managed to grab her phone and camera before flying out of her room to the kitchen to grab a pop tart and pop a microwave dinner in the microwave and start it. "MOM! IF YOU GET HUNGRY, CHECK THE MICROWAVE! I'LL START DINNER WHEN I GET HOME IF YOUR HUNGRY!" She called up, not receiving a response as she ran out into the driveway and mounted her tricked out motor scooter, that was black with blue and green music notes and stars scattered across it. She wasn't expecting a response anyway. Soon, she started the engine and was sailing down the street to Hollywood high in no time, putting in her ear buds and blasting her music as soon as she was at a stop sign or light. She even managed to catch the bus and ride next to it for a little while as Starflower sped up a bit to grin at the bus driver and waved. "Hey there!!" she called out to him, "SUP!?"

Saiaya rolled over at the slight nudge from her Dad. "Hey, Aya, time to go, get ready." He kissed her on the forehead before getting off the bed and walking out her room. "Dude, are you serious..." She sighed as she blew her bangs out her face. Throwing the covers off of her feet she was greeted with a cold chill. "Well that was a bad idea." Saiaya laughed before placing her feet on the floor.

Almost sliding her feet across the floor she slid into her bathroom taking her shower for the morning.

.........

Getting out she dried off. Saiaya could smell the eggs and toast from all the way up stairs. Her stomach growled in response. Quickly drying off she began to get dressed, pulling on a baggy pair on black cargo pants and a black low cut tank top. Lastly she grabbed her necklace and her rings and began her way down the stairs. "Hungry, gonna eat on my way to school mom, later yo." She grabbed a piece of toast with egg and jelly on it heading towards the door. Slipping on her checkered hightop Vans, she grabbed her book bag and bounced out the door. She heard her mother yelling something in their native language, but decided she's tell her when she got home.

.........

Saiaya arrive at school about fifteen minutes later, walked through the doors of the school she gave hugs to all the people she knew and sat down at a table waiting for the rest of the students to pile in, meanwhile she danced withe break dancers for the time being.

"get up sleepy head" Misa roommate jumped onto the bed laughing Misa mummbled something before pushing the blanket off her she looked at the alarm clock "im going to be late" she said calmly it was the norm for Misa "well hurry up then" her red haired roommate said blinking. Misa forced herself to the bathroom taking a quick yet relaxing shower she stepped out of the shower with the towel wrapped around her body she walked to her room straight for her closet "hurry up" the girls voice repeated "no beauty takes time". "Miimii your such a princess" the girl layed on the bed hugging the pillow Misa went through her closet finding a pink and black strapless short dress she slipped into it and a pair of normal sized heels "Miimii i want to say some things about that outfit but youd beat me down for it" "oh hush mellow" Misa snapped shortly after that she mummbled a "sorry" she grabbed her Diamond braclet and matching necklace and earings along with her bag "change of clothes for emergency check a notebook yeap song book check.." she went on she glanced over at the clock once more "im late enough" she sighed walking out the door her wolf mix dog followed "new day mika" she spoke to the dog as she opened the car door the dog leapt into the back seat and Misa went into the driver seat seeing her sunglasses on the passenger side she placed them on her head "princess huh?" she recalled her roomy's words as she started the car.

She arrived at the school surprsingly she wasnt to late she parked the car and she folded the back seats down placing food in a dog bowl and water she set down for Mika the car was big enough for the dog to stay in during school hours. she took her phone out calling her roommate "hey the dogs with me check up on her in about 45mins take her for a walk then if she wants to stay let her stay in the car again thanxs hugs and kisses" she hung up before she can reply she got her bag again and walked into the school she didnt know anyone just yet so she headed straight a empty table and sat down crossing her legs her hands neartly resting on her lap

"What's up?" Sam said, banging her drumsticks on the seat back in front of her. "Hey Price, did you sign up for the Opening Ceremony?" Car asked, her dark brown eyes sparkling with the same glow every kid had on the first day of school, especially those who attended Hollywood High. Car smiled and leaned in. "Their having Sam and I do a performance for the Opening Ceremony. A long with anyone who signed up during the summer." Car beamed. She'd been ecstatic when Sam told her she'd signed them up. She strummed her guitar and listened to the crazy music that the people on the bus were making.

"Yeah, I signed up, I can't wait! It's gonna be awesome! I heard there's gonna be alot of first years. I just hope that there actually good. Of course, they must be if they got into this school. By the way, You look nice today." he said, leaning under his seat and grabing his bass guitar. "So, what song are you two doing?" Price asked, strumming a few notes.

"Give it up." They said in unison. They smiled. "It's a song we wrote over summer break. Sam's idea." Car explained. Sam smiled. "Yup. I'm a genius." Car smiled and played a tune on her guitar, matching the music that everyone else was making.

"Nice." He said with a smile. "I was gonna do Ice ice baby, but then I realized how stupid of an idea that was, so I decided to do Gimme Shelter. People love the Classics." he took out his cellphone, and looked at a text he'd just received. He frown, shook his head, and put it back into his pocket. As he looked out the bus window, he wondered how long it would be until they finally arrived at H.H.. He wouldn't admit it if he had been asked, but all the summer parties got boring after a while, and he was a bit anxious to get back.

Misa stood up and walked back into the halls of the school and put her sun glasses on she looked left to right and not seeing any people arrive yet she left the building bat to her car, her dog Mika wagging her tail happily she opened the door the dog leapt ut at her almost knocking her down greeting her with licks "down girl" she laughed petting the dog absent mindly on her head the dog sooned settled down and she fixed her dress "why do i feel like this is gonna be a slow day" she leaned against the car the dog sitting and looking up at Misa as if she understood every single word she started to sing santa baby seemingly perfect and Mika barked and howled along Misa laughed and open the car door again "back in before someone sees this" Mika leapt into the back of the car and lapped up the water she set earlier for her. Misa smiled sticking her hand through small opening from the window letting mika sniff her once more before she turned back into the school building now humming the song

The bus finally pulled into the Hollywood High lot and Car and Sam stood up. "All of the acts need to meet at Auditorium 1." Car said, zipping up her guitar bag and throwing her messenger bag over her shoulder. Sam nodded and grabbed her things. "Let's go." They exited the bus and smiled up at the familiar school. "It's good to be back." They said, as they made their way to Auditorium 1.

Misa found her way to the girls bathroom she fixed her hair undoing the pigtails her short hair loose now her bright green eyes sparkled with excient new school year new school she almost squealed she placed her sunglasses back onto her head she dusted her dress and made her way back to the table she sat at earlier as she tapped her foot to a song that was stuck in her head

Price got up from his seat and walked out the bus door, smacking his shoulder on the bus door. "Ouch."
When the two girla announced that the performers would have to meet in auditorium 1, He followed the crowd to the meeting place. Not remembering where it was.

When they got there, Car and Sam handed their favorite teacher, Mr. Dova, the CD that held the track for their song. Everyone who was doing a Song Performance needed a track unless they planned to sing acapella. They then turned and walked to the chairs that were just behind the stage. They weren't on until the end.

Price handed his track to the teacher, and sat down. He was told he would be going second, and that made him a little nervous. He walked over to were the guitarist and bassist for his act were sitting and told them to get a bit of practice in before the performance. He walked over to his previous seat and sighed audibly, before putting in his headphones in and listening to the song he was about to play.

Screeching to a loud stop, Starflower cut the engine, humming to herself and bobbing her head to the music as she fixed her messenger bag and got out her camera, taking a few pictures as she walked towards the school building, also taking pictures of a crowd of kids going to the auditorium as she followed. She peeked in and decided to stand off to the side and watch everyone, snapping pictures left and right of kids laughing and practicing their music. StarFlower leaned against the wall, relaxing as she looked back over her pictures, admiring some shots while deleting horrible ones. Glancing around, Star silently wondered what was going on. "Whatever it is, i can't wait to see" She mumbled to herself as she voiced he thoughts, she just moved here when she got accepted into Hollywood High and so far, she's enjoying herself.

Misa forced herself up once more and followed students to the auditorium she took a seat in the front row she was obviously spoil the typical princess type but she was talented and was excited to see what was going to held in the auditorium she pulled out a magazine and flipped through the pages admiring the outfits even though she already owned most of them if not all she leaned back in her chair and tapped her heels against the floor i rythm with a song in her head she pulled out her ipod and put the headphones in she sang softly a few mess ups of course but her voice was pretty much spot on she was proud of her talent but there were many kids as talented if not even more talented then her

As kids filled into the auditorium, Mr. Dova grabbed the first act and let them go on stage once everyone was seated. They played Toxic Valentine by All Time Low, and Sam and Car couldnt help dancing to it backstage. When their act came to an end, Mr. Dova's voice rang through the air. "Next up, we've got... give it up for Price McTavish!" Sam and Car smiled ran to watch the act.

"Zachary, you're late!"
Cringing at the use of his full name, the blonde simply tilts his head to look at his aged acting teacher with his brilliant silver eyes. Instantly, the wrinkled lady blushed giving the teenager's cheek a gentle touch with her cool fingers. He hadn't been seen coming through the back doors and slipping up to see Mrs. Janus before his performance--mostly because he didn't use his flamboyant clothes today. No, he had a costume to put on!
"I sincerely apologize, but I simply couldn’t prepare in time. May I go get ready?” he asked in a gentle, deep voice. He was quickly waved off with a warning of his performance: Third. Since so many acts were musical. And the blonde couldn’t sing a lick.

He returns backstage, the long body clad in a dark suit and a mask as if the young man was attending a masquerade. The odd thing was that before he was a towering 6’4”, and now, thanks to a pair of clunky combat boots, that height had been increased by three more inches. A much shorter freshman followed in his tracks, dressed even more strangely in Victorian attire. Their act? A performance based on the father of performing. Romeo and Juliet. With a twist. It was Zachary’s job to will Romeo from Juliet. It was a comedy!

Plopping down beside a group of giddy girls, the blonde waits his chance to go onstage after this…Price McTavish.

Dancing and wiggling around against the wall, she got closer to the stage as she got down on her knee and took some pictures of the first act. She couldn't help but dance a bit as she did so and some of her pictures came out blurry but they were still good, non the less. After awhile, she started taking pictures of the students, some even made faces or smiled when they spotted her taking pictures, she couldn't wait to get them uploaded and printed! For now, she just simply did what she loved and enjoyed the act and music. Who knows, maybe one day she'll find herself up on the stage one day! At that thought, she snorted. "Yea right!" she said to herself, rolling her eyes.

She watched the first act actually liking it, she was right the kids in this school are talented she looked at the girl taking pictures and she edged to the next seat she was proud of her beauty she found herself absoutely gorgeous. but one thing she hated was pictures thats why she never took a single modeling job she was offered but either way if she made it big time shed be getting her picture taken just like everyone else, suddenly she was uncomfortable. but she brought her attention back to the performers a smile came back to her face. "id love to perform on stage on day" she giggled at her own thoughts she could never overcome her shyness but for now she'll enjoy everyone else's talents

Price heard his named called and walked toward the stage. He took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage.

Here's a link to the song, in case you've never heard it.

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Price McTavish!
Price grabbed the mic, enjoying the cheers of the audiance, and the lights went black.
As the opening chords played, the audience went silent, And slowly the lights turned back on and dimmed.
As what felt like years, but where really seconds, It was finally time for him to play his part. He took a deep breathe and began to sing.

Ooh, a storm is threatnin'
My very life today...
If I don't get some shelter
Ooh yeah, I'm gonna fade away!
As he started singing the chorus, the floor lights, and the stage lights turned a deep shade of orange.
"War, children! it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away!
War, children! it's just a shot away...
It's just a shot away!"
As the second verse started to play, the floor lights turned red, and the stage lights shut off.

"Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our very street today!
Burns like a red coal carpet,
Mad bull lost its way!

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away!
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away!"

As the second chorus came to an end, price took a minute to breathe during the guitar solo, and listen to the cheers, and singing of the crowd. "This is why I joined this school." He thought

"Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

The floods is threat'ning
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
"
As the floor lights dimmed, the song came to an end, and the audience erupted in cheers, and whistles.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Price Mctavish!"

He quickly bowed, and proceeded to walk back stage. On his way off, he was given a pat on the back, and an "Excellent job!" By the teacher. He walked back stage and took a seat, trying to relax untill it was time to go whatch the next act.

Car and Sam screamed and cheered. Watching Price perform they did their own little dance. A woman came by. "Hey Ms. Kincaid." "Glad I found you two. Here are your schedules for the new year." Ms. Kincaid was the front desk lady at Hollywood High. The only reason Car and Sam hadn't gotten their schedules before school had started was because they'd been too busy doing other crap to come to the Schedule Pick Up. Car smiled and took hers. "Yeah! We got Mr. Dova's Acting Class first hour!" Sam smiled. This'll be fun.

As Price began to sing, Star made sure to take pictures of everything during his performance. It was amazing! The lights and the music and everything had Star entranced, she adored music, she lived and breathed it. Most of the time, she was dancing before remembering she was taking pictures. She would definitely get in the photography club, maybe even get a spot on year book. She smiled to herself, she would enjoy that. She grinned when she noticed a girl shying away from the camera and made sure she took a few pictures of the girl, smiling before turning back towards the stage just as the song was finishing as she joined in the screams and cheers with the crowd.
