My Little Humans: High school is Magic
Chapter 1: Tone-Deff
A girl with long black hair ran down the science hallway, through the gym, and around the staircase to the band room. Just as she reached her destination she stopped, stood for a moment to catch her breath, and attempted to regain her composure. She gently tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear and smoothed out her gray jacket, which was decorated with a large purple treble clef. Before she had a chance to open the door, however, she heard a large “BANG” come from down the hallway. Her head jerked in the direction of the noise, her lavender eyes scanning the hall for its origin. At last around the corner appeared a girl, wearing black skinny jeans and a tight tank top. The girl had on black-rimmed purple glasses and was carrying a mess of sheet music and various electronic devices. Trailing behind the electric-blue-haired girl was a huge table-like object. Around the girl’s neck were big blue earphones connected to some unknown device in her back pocket.
Octavia rolled her eyes and ducked into the band room hastily. She had never really taken well to slackers, or messy people at all for that matter. In fact, the only thing she carried around school was a well organized music portfolio that hung over her shoulder, resting comfortably at her hip. The rest of her school stuff was either hidden away in her locker or residing in one of her classes. This caused her to never be late to a class or get stuck in the situation that other girl was in. “who was that?” Octavia suddenly felt herself thinking, as she took her seat and began unpacking her contrabass, an instrument similar to the cello. “Ive never seen her around here,” She thought, “It was so weird, that big contraption she was towing behind her as well. She almost looked like she was heading for the……” before she could finish her thought the door burst open as a chaotic blur of papers and blue hair flew into the quieting band room. Every eye turned toward the intrusion, including Octavia’s. The girl quickly dropped to the floor to collect her scatted sheet music, giving the band director a great opportunity to confront the her.
“Hi there!” The director’s sweet voice caused the girl to look up from her mess. “You must be Vinyl Scratch, the new student! From what I hear you have quite a talent.” The new girl just shrugged sheepishly and gave the director a half smile. “Oh don’t be so modest Miss. Scratch, please go on and introduce yourself, then you can show us your true forte!”
At this the girl stood up and we all finally got a good look at her. She was about 5’ 5’’ and was wearing black ripped skinny jeans and a white tank top with a large eighth note across the front. Her blue hair was wild and uncontrolled, with light and electric blue shades throughout. She still had on her glasses. Facing us now she took a deep breath and spoke “Hi everyone, my name is Vinyl. I just moved here from Manhattan with my family.”
“Tell the class what instrument you play.” The director said with a huge grin across her face.
“can I maybe show them instead?” The girl asked calmly.
The director grinned and nodded.
Vinyl Scratch then held up one finger and dashed out into the hall. The class gave each other confused glances and dumbfounded shrugs. When Vinyl returned she had the giant table in tow close behind her. She then snatched up one of the various extension plugs she had been carrying before and inserted into the nearest outlet. Suddenly the large table-like contraption hummed to life and hints of a smile became evident on her pale slim face. She raised the left side of the earphone to her ear and tilted her head. Picking up a couple records from the floor she placed two on the table and gently rested the needle on one of them. We couldn’t see what she was doing on the other side of the table, but if I had to guess I would say that she was probably amping up the sound and volume. Vinyl lifted her hands and rested them gently on each record, slowly beginning to rotate them up and down. A steady beat began to flow from the contraption, and into the musically gifted ears of everyone in the room. After a few seconds the beat began to pick up, dropping low, doubling in rhythm, and then going back up. She promptly began nodding her head to the sound of the music, grinning. As the intensity of each beat increased so did the amount of other student’s bobbing their heads. Octavia looked around at all her classmates, who were beginning to bounce to the beat. “How can all these musicians like this garbage?” she crossed her arms across her chest and raised a perfect black eyebrow. Soon the whole class, aside from Octavia, was dancing around the class and swaying to Vinyl’s beat. The director was even rocking back and forth in time to the music. During the chaos someone must’ve shut off the lights in the room because there were strobe lights and lasers emitting from within Vinyl’s buzzing table. It was a full blown party for a good 10 minutes then, suddenly, Vinyl stopped playing, shut down the lasers, and flipped on the lights. At the abrupt halt of the music the students turned to stare at the blue-haired girl at the now silent turntable.
Vinyl Scratch wiped off her forehead and regained a chilled, laid back composure. She pulled the earphone down back to her neck and shook out her hair, giving it a messy look. Stepping away from the table, she unplugged it from the outlet and wound it in a loop. She raised a hand to her face and removed the glasses. Once her eyes were visible, Octavia could tell there was something different about them, she wasn’t looking at anything in particular. It seemed like she was just staring off into space.
“Well yep, as I was saying, my name I Vinyl Scratch, I’m a DJ protégée, and I’m also fairly blind.”
