*Solace's POV *

Okay, so dinner time hasn't gone so well. Well, Silver's part anyway. But at the very least we know where we stand. I'm also pretty glad that he likes my plan for a change. Usually he likes to shit on every I have to propose so I guess my idea was good enough to him.

Now I have to think where to start, there are so many people in this school it will be though to figure out who to talk to first. There are so many different girls in this school. I have to think on how I want to approach this. Do I want to go for the most silent type or the more popular type ? In the end, both can give some good info.

I walk around when I start to hear some sounds coming from the music room. It was the room where people went to pratice, if I'm not mistaken, and based on my experience in parties, it sounds like dubstep. Holy moly, I must go to see. I enter the room to see one girl in the room, she had blue and cyan hair, with yellowish white skin. She had DJ station set-up, she was apparently warming up. I enter the room and stand next to the door, she doesn't seem to notice me. She's in the zone, as they say. She plays for a few minutes, by the time she finished, afternoon classes had already started, but I don't care that much. I'll go ask what I missed on tomorrow's lunch break or something.

She takes off her headphones and jumps when she finally notices me. I only smile and greet her.

- '' Yo. ''

Simple enough, I approach her. She smiles too, okay, good start.

- '' Yo dude, sorry I didn't noticed you, I was kinda doing my thing. ''

- '' No problem, I was hanging here enjoying the show. ''

- '' I'll take you liked what you heard. ''

- '' Oh yeah, it was awesome, you really got talent for this. ''

- '' Thanks man. Vinyl Scratch, or better known as DJ-PON3. ''

She presented her hand and I shook it. Holy boy can she shake hands.

- '' Solace Wings, do you produce CD's or something ? Because if you do, I want to buy all of them, because you're stuff is lit. ''

- '' Nah, not officialy at least, but I do keep my stuff on a USB key. ''

- '' Cool, maybe you could hang out in my room later ? I have a roomate but he shouldn't mind too much. ''

- '' Yeah, no problem, I always love to show my music to other people. Especially to people who can appreciate some wubs, not like my roomie. She's into all this classical stuff. ''

- '' Funny, do you think they knew when you were placed in that room ? ''

She shrugs.

- '' Probably not, it's just a funny coincidence. ''

She was really chill, not as awesome as Rainbow Dash, but she was really cool to talk to. And she never questioned my presence.

- '' It's a nice change, you're one of the first girls in that didn't throw me murderous looks as soon as I approached. ''

She shrugs, still smiling.

- '' Man, I don't really care what you have in your pants, if you like wubs, you're cool with me. That's my philosophy. ''

On that we went our separate way, I told her at what hour she could visit and where was our room. That's already one new friend. I just had a flash, Silver was still looking for the full name of his crush didn't he ?

I know there was student list on the billboard. I made my way there, searched in our year, then in our group, and yes. Trixie Lulamoon. I think he'll be happy to know that. I take my cell and text him to tell him about what happened.

'' Already made a new friend ! I invited her to our room this evening if you don't mind, by the way, I hope you enjoy some good ol' wubs. ''

Oh, I remember that I don't actually know if he likes dubstep or not. Guess we're going to have wait and see, huh ? Meh, I'm sure it's going to be fine.

'' Cool, I'm pretty curious to meet her, I'll trust your judgement. ''

Oh, he trusts me with something again ? Damn, this has been a weird day. He must be in a good mood, I wonder why. I'm not too worried about him, I'm sure he'll be able to pull something off with his girl. Oh, now that I'm on the subject.

'' By the way, your girl's full name is Trixie Lulamoon. ''

A few seconds later, I got an answer.

'' Cool, thanks, but how in the world do you know that? ''

I start laughing, typical Silver, I'm sure he had some sort of overcomplicated plan, to get her name. I don't know what's going through his head half the time.

'' There's a student list you know ? ''

Oh, it's great. I can almost hear him facepalming from here.

The rest of the day is not really noteworthy to be told, I didn't had a lot to do, so I studied a bit. I know, that's a shock coming from me. Then, I went running for a bit. Gotta keep that cardio, bro. Then I ate some suchis.

I met with Vinyl who was in front of our room, we greeted each other with a smile, she showed me the USB key that she bringed. This will be a cool evening I can feel it.

We enter the room and soon enough, Silver arrives too, he looked a bit tired. He looked at me and Vinyl with confusion, before remembering. He greeted her and shaked her hand a bit weakly.

- '' So, you're the friend Sol brought huh ? My name is Silver, pleasure to meet you. ''

- '' Same for me bro, my name's Vinyl. A friend of Sol's a friend of mine. ''

- '' ... I think I see why you like her Sol. ''

I roll my eyes and us three starts laughing.

- '' I don't see what you mean. ''

Silver gets to his bed throw his stuff. I now remember what I wanted to ask him, I smug.

- '' So how did your date go ? ''

He looks at me annoyed. Vinyl, for some reasons, was now really interested in the conversations, she was eating some chips that we had.

- '' One, it wasn't a date, two, to actually answer your question, it went in an unexpected direction, but it was fine. ''

- '' Oh what do you mean by interesting direction ? ''

He sighs, oh this is gonna be good.

- '' Okay, but both of you promise me to not laugh. ''

- '' Promised ! '' Vinyl and I said at the same time.

But we both had fingers crossed behind our back. He took a time to breathe before speaking again.

- '' I ended up as Trixie's assistant. ''

There was a moment of silence where we were realizing what was just said, then we bursted in laughter. The offended look on Silver's face makes that moment even more golden. I am rolling on the ground in laughter. Vinyl is hitting her tigh.

- '' Oh wow, this is even better than I expected ! ''

- '' You guys said you wouldn't laugh. ''

- '' Sorry dude, but seriously, how did that happened ? ''

Vinyl who had just recovered and was still giggling a bit added.

- '' And seriously, Trixie ?TheTrixie ? ''

- '' Y-yeah, what about it. ''

I could see Silver getting a bit defensive, like a prey getting cornered. Wait, maybe not the best metaphor. Oh, screw it, I suck at those.

- '' I mean, it's totally fine if she's type, but damn I didn't expected that. ''

Silver just facepalms and look at me.

- '' Have you just made a genderbent version of yourself ? Because she definitively sounds like you. ''

- '' Meh, you know what they say, great minds thinks alike. ''

I brofist Vinyl before facing my friend once again.

- '' But more seriously, tell us, how did it come to that ? ''

We all sit down, and he starts telling how this all went down. To be honest, I really had to focus to follow what he was saying, he's not exactly the best storyteller. Afterwards I looked at Vinyl who seems really lost. I tried to reconstitute the story in my mind from what I understood.

- '' Okay from what I understood, you met with her, and to get to know her backstory better you took the risk of alienating the whole school to you ? ''

- '' In a few sentence it is basically that yeah. ''

The DJ just smirks looking at my old friend.

- '' So you're trying to find a way to get in her pants ? ''

Silver got red like a tomato. Oh man, I'm sure we're going to end up killing him by teasing, but it's just so much fun to see a guy like him in denial. It was so obvious he was into her, but let's let him stay in denial for a bit. It makes for great entertainment.

- '' N-no ! I don't- I... I just want figures things out ! ''

I looked at Vinyl with a smirk.

- '' Okay, enough teasing for now, didn't you want to show us some of your work. ''

Her expressions lighten up, and I can only guess that her eyes sparkled, she hurried towards our computer and installed her USB key. She smiled at us before pressing play.

- '' Keep in mind, this is onlysomeof my stuff. If you want more, you're gonna have to go see me perform. ''

The next half an hour was simply awesome. I figured by earlier showing that she was talented, but damn, I don't even have enough word in my vocabulary to describe how epic it is.

By the end, all of us could barely hear anything, we could only hear buzzing, but it was worth it, for me at least. I saw Silver moaning in pain on his bed, holding his head.

- '' Owww, my ears. ''

Vinyl takes off her headphones, showing a proud smile.

- '' So what did you boys tought of that ? ''

- '' It was awesome ! ''

- ''... I think my eardrums may be bleeding... ''

We start to laugh for a bit, seeing him putting his head between two pillows, trying to block off sound.

- '' I think you're friend would go along well with Octy, that is the exact reaction she had when I showed her my stuff the first time. ''

- '' Oh, so maybe you could bring her here someday ? I am sure he will be glad to meet her. Classical's not my type of music, for obvious reasons, but she sounds nice. ''

- '' She is, when we're not arguing about music that is. But like I said, I clearly see your friend getting better along with her than you, and possibly me for that matter. ''

We talked like that for a bit. I can't praise this girl enough. She's the type of person you can talk about anything. Sports, music, dance, or even dating for that matter. I won't reveal too much about what she said in that matter, but she had enough experiences to have really interesting stories to tell. I shared some of my own and we had a good time. There's no better things to do in an evening that cracking a cold one while sharing sexual experiences with a pal. Honestly, this is the kind of thing that makes me glad to have come here, meeting new people who enjoys the same things as I do. This was clearly the best decision that I ever made.

After a while, she went her way back to her room, I greeted her and closed the door. Silver, who had just recovered his hearing arrived.

- '' So...did you ask her ? ''

- '' Ask her what ? ''

He then look at me incredulous.

- '' You know, ask her to join your plan, wasn't that the whole damn point ?! ''

I scratched the back of my head, smiling embarrassed. To be honest, I had forgotten about all of this. I enjoyed my time with her so much that it slipped in the back of my head, you know ?

- '' Oops, sorry I forgot. ''

He facepalmed, breathed for a few seconds, then looked at me in the eye.

- '' I guess I can forgive you, she was pretty nice, it's just... frustrating, I just want all of these problems to be over as soon as possible. I guess, it's just been a long day, you know ? ''

I put an hand on his shoulders.

- '' I get that, but don't worry too much about that, eveything will be fine. You know, if anything ever happens, we have each other, and that, nothing can take this from us. ''

He nodded silently, but I am sure I saw a smile.

- '' Now, let's go to bed, we've got another long day ahead of us. ''

I set my alarm, take off my clothes and lay in my bed. I closes my eyes with a smile in my face to finally end the best day I had since we arrived here. I hope there are more like that to come.
