Chapter 17
The gang were all waiting outside of school for Zuma, receiving an urgent text from him saying he had to tell them something important.
"Ugh! Where the hell is he? I'm never going to forgive him if he makes me late for class." exclaimed Skye, throwing her hands in the air.
"I'm sure Zuma is on his way." Rocky reassured his friend for the hundredth time since they've arrived.
"Chase, why didn't you tell us Skye and anxiety are friends." Marshall whispered jokingly.
"I didn't think she would be like this. Maybe I should text Zuma and see what's keeping him." Chase whispered back, watching his girlfriend go back and forth.
"Guys! Guys!"
"Speaking of the devil." Marshall whispered.
"Where have you been? We're almost late for first period." Skye scoffed
"Sowwy dudette, but I had a lot to do this mowning." Zuma puffed, his hands on his knees.
Rocky came up to him and rubbed his back smoothingly. Zuma stood up straight and smiled at his shy boyfriend before kissing his cheek as a silent greeting. He turned back to his friends with a wide smile.
"So, what's so important that we were called here for?" Lyra said, folding his arms while leaning on Rubble.
"So when I woke up wight? You'll nevew believe who called me. It was Luke Stars-" Zuma was interrupted by three girlish screams.
"Oh my gosh, Luke Stars called you?!" Everest squealed
"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!" Lyra gasped and fell back into Rubble's open arms, fainting dramatically.
"I think I speak for all the boys here when I say, who's Luke Stars and why are you girls so hype about him?" Chase asked, raising his eye brow.
There was a stillness in the air, then a swept of dread. All the girls in the gang, even Lyra who woke up from fainting, slowly turned their heads to Chase. Chase's eyes widened as all three girls rushed up to him. Marshall slowly backed away from his side, standing next to Rubble.
"You don't know who Luke Stars is?!" All three girls screamed
"Luke Stars, is one of the most coolest-" Everest cut herself off and looked at Skye.
"Hottest-"
"And greatest musicians around! How can you not know about him!?" Lyra shouted angrily.
From behind, the boys watch the girls taunt and scold Chase. Rocky and Zuma looked at Marshall and Rubble, who were shaking their heads sadly for their poor friend.
"Aren't you going to stop them?" Rocky asked
"And try to get myself kill? Hell no. That's suicide." Marshall replied
"Yeah, when Lyra get angry you might want to take a step back into the other room until she calms down." Rubble shrugged
"You'll nevew do that to me, will you Wocks?" Zuma asked, looking hopefully at his boyfriend.
Rocky giggled and pecked Zuma on the lips "Of course not. That just seems silly."
Zuma breathed in relief until Rocky said "Unless you don't know who my favorite scientist is and does, then I'll be much worse than the girls."
Zuma groaned loudly, causing Marshall and Rubble to laugh. Rocky kissed his forehead before the girls and a terrified looking Chase walked up to them.
"So what did he say?" Skye asked, a little more calm.
"He watched us on ouw channel and he wants us to pewform at the Wintew Wondew concewt!" exclaimed Zuma
Another round of girlish screams filled the air. The boys cheered with excitement, even Chase who broke out of his traumatized statement.
"That's great Zuma!" Chase said happily "We have lot to prepare, so let's meet up at the park after school and get to work."
"Speaking of school, you guys know while we were celebrating that we missed the bell." Lyra said with a raised eyebrow.
"What?!" Everyone screeched, running past Lyra.
Rubble ran back and grabbed her hand, dragging her in the building.
"You know I can walk, right Rubby?" Lyra asked, rolling her eyes.
'Time Skip'
"Ok, first band meeting. Is everyone here?" Chase asked, holding a note pad.
"I'm pretty sure everyone is here Chase." Rocky said, crossing his arms.
"Ok. So, any ideas for the song we should do for the concert?" Chase asked, taking the pen out his hair.
"Why not a mashup? Like the music video we did last week." Everest suggest.
"Nah, then some of us are gonna be left out. Maybe something a little more related to Christmas and love." Skye said
"Baby it's cold outside. And, we could make up some choreography." Marshall shrugged
Everyone stared at him like he was some type of genius "Wow."
"What now?" Marshall asked, raising his eye brow.
"How did you come up with that dude?" Zuma asked
"Top of my mind, I guess." Marshall replied
"Guess were going with that. Practice starts saturday at Marsh's house. 8:am, don't be late." Chase said.
"That early? Aw man." Rubble groaned
"Glad this meeting ended quick cuz I have homework. I'll call you guys later!" Lyra said, kissing Rubble's cheek and waving her friends farewell as she ran towards the entrance of the park.
"Me too. You coming babe?" Zuma asked, standing up.
"Sure." Rocky replied, grabbing Zuma's hand "I'll see you at home Marshall."
"K, bye guys." Marshall waved
"We should probably go too. You know how the teachers are when we don't finish homework." Chase rolled his eyes.
"Yeah. Well, you guys go ahead. I'm gonna stay here for a bit." Marshall said, leaning back on the bench.
"You sure baby? I could stay." Everest injected
"Nah, I'll be fine. I'll see you guys later." Marshall faked a smile, watching his friend and girlfriend leave.
Once he was sure they left, Marshall quickly dug into his book bag and pulled out a small razor. Tears that he's been holding in spilled out his eyes as he pulled up his sleeve and got to work.
