Gym ended and all the students headed back inside. Everyone filed back into the building nice and quietly, except the back of the group of students were Goldie and his friends were they were still going at it. After everything cooled down, Skully and Umbro were now joking about something between themselves while Dahblunt discussed computer options to Gnome since he was in dire need of one.
The girls walked a tad bit ahead of the four but Goldie walked ahead of all of them. Most of the girls talked amongst each other but Adagio, Aria and Sonata kept quiet, making small talk was a work in progress for them especially to get someone to listen.
The group proceeded weaving through the school halls to the next set of classes, till the intercom blared.
“Will Goldie, Skully, Gnome, Umbro and Dahblunt please come to the principal Celestia's office please”, vice principal Luna's voice boomed through the intercom before it quickly shut off. Goldie looked up at the intercom and sighed. He then turned to his friends all with frowns on their faces.
“There's a sentence that I'm used too, come on guys let's go”, Goldie motioning his friends to follow.
“If it’s anything bad I’d say we all blame Skully this time, last time it was my turn to take the heat” Dahblunt looked at Goldie with this thumbs up grinning.
-One day later-
Adagio sat by herself at the front counter desk in the science class. She stared out the classroom window twirling a pencil between her fingers. Sonata and Aria were far behind her sitting next to one another.
Most of the others students were talking to each other as they waited for the teacher to arrive, and Adagio sat there miserable. Even Aria was willing to listen to Sonata nodding her head even saying a few words.
Finally the teacher walked into the room closing the door behind her. Everything quieted down as the teacher looked around them then her eyes making their way to connecting eyes with Adagio’s.
“Well once again I was hoping to have everyone of you pair up with a partner but as the teacher walked to her desk. “But we either have not enough students are some students just don’t want to pair up with someone”, the teacher said looking at Adagio straight in the face.
Adagio didn’t even bother to look around for a partner since she new that it wasn't her who didn’t want to pair up it everyone else who refused to have her as one. It might be due to the fact she was the leader of the three girls who tried to take over the school, town and world.
The teacher's made it to her desk. Adagio sat there blowing one of the large pieces of hair up in the air out of boredom. Sighing the teacher began to place several piles of papers with Dazzle in big red letters on it, “Well miss Dazzle since no one still seems to want to pair up with you I suppose you can do extra work by yourself”.
Before the teacher could even explain the piles of classwork papers on Adagio’s desk the classroom door swung open. A familiar face slid into the classroom with a sudden skidding stop as though he had apply breaks. It was Goldie, he paused a bit looking around the room not saying a word. He then realized that he had interrupted the class barging in the way he did.
Goldie then stood up straight fixing his clothes making sure he looked good. His attire was only a tad different than yesterday. He was wearing a another black vest but with a green short sleeve full button down shirt this time and with another skull with a gold lower jaw pin on his shirt under it in red letters J-O-F.
The teacher turned around to see Goldie who was now patting himself down looking for something. As the teacher walked over, Goldie rushed to pulled out a piece of paper out of his brown dress pants.
“I got held up on figuring out what class I had this morning so this is my late slip”, Goldie said nervously scratching his head.
“Very well sadly the only seats available is next to Adagio, we are pairing up but the only person available is Adagio”, she said this with a sadden frown as though it was a last resort or death.
Adagio looked at Goldie while slumped on her desk slightly waving acknowledging she exists. Goldie looked at her then everyone in the classroom. The only other faces she recognized were Sonata and Aria. Goldie heard some of the other students whispering, “He would be super dumb to pair up with her”.
Adagio face grew red not of anger, but of embarrassment. It wasn’t as though they were wrong though. Adagio was not a good person let alone student and after losing her powers getting anything done was a chore. Goldie ignored them and walked over to Adagio’s counter to sit down. Adagio watched him as he sat down waiting for him to say something rude. Goldie looked at Adagio who was now looking at him with confused face. Goldie looked back just as confused, “What is there something on my face?” raising a eyebrow.
“You sure you want to sit next to me?, Adagio stared at him thinking maybe he didn’t know what he was doing.
Everyone one in the school and town should have known about what happened between Adagio and her siren counterparts and the band the Rainbooms. Using their singing powers to draw the negative energy from the people in this world to the point of if the Rainbooms didn’t stop them they would spread their dark magic and taken over the world. So it came to huge surprise that he was so oddly comfortable sitting next to her.
Goldie frowned and looked around the class for a second and looked back at Adagio.
“I have no idea who anyone else is here in this class besides your friends in the back over there”, Goldie pointed to Sonata and Aria who had now stopped talking and were watching them.
“So the question is are you OK with me sitting with you?”, as Goldie said this Adagio’s jaw dropped. After Adagio and her companions did what they did they have received nothing but grief and insults from everyone except the Rainbooms and from them is was just reminders of what they did but not intentionally in a bad way. Adagio took a couple seconds to find the words as Goldie waited for her to respond. “Uh sure go ahead”, she said still confused.
The teacher walked by Goldie and Adagio’s counter placing a text book in front of Goldie.
Goldie looked at the book and rolled his eyes then looked at Adagio as she looked at him being dramatic. He held up the book cover it showing Adagio the book saying Rocks and Sediments.
“Out of all the things for first Science class my favorite study every” he said with groan. Adagio silently to herself giggled smiling.
As class ended both Adagio and Goldie walked out of the class. Goldie looked at his paper which was a test only he had to see what his knowledge base was. The score wasn't numbered instead is said only “maybe next time”, Goldie didn’t know whether to be happy or disappointed with that answer if it was a knowledge base test.
As Goldie walked Adagio kept up with him but swerving out of the way of oncoming students. That is until one girl out of nowhere hip checked her knocking Adagio to the floor and the random girl walked away casually. Adagio snarled at the girl walking away but her back was turned so there was no reason to get angry she didn’t want to get in trouble and make people think she was planning something.
Goldie realizing what happened turned around and helped Adagio up. She brushed herself off then looked at Goldie who was looking around as though trying to see who did that to her.
“What was that all about?”, Goldie said with a concerned tone. “Everyone seems to have a problem with you here, I mean you don’t seem like a bad person”, he said with serious face now.
Adagio sighed and started speaking now with her smooth, sweet and crisp voice as she looked Goldie straight in the face. “Listen Goldie do you know anything about this school and town and the incident they call it during battle of the band competition?”. Goldie shook his head making a confused face. She saw in his eyes he honestly had no idea about what happened.
“Well if you like to know I’ll tell you but it's about lunchtime and I know everyone and your friends will be there I’ll explain on the way”, she said with her hands on her hips as she strutted to the lunch room. “Alright”, Goldie said as he caught up to her.
Adagio explained the entire story to Goldie who to her surprise believed her the whole way through, but his reaction was once again not quite what she thought would happen.
With all the girls and Goldie’s friends at the table, the girls sat in shock and the boys sat there watching Goldie smirking at him. Adagio didn’t know what to say but Goldie was laughing like uncontrollably laughing. He was sitting across from Adagio but next to Skully and at some points Goldie head flopped on to his shoulder making him laugh too a little as he pushed him off. Goldie calmed his laughter as Adagio spoke.
“You really think taking over the world is funny Goldie”, Adagio was so confused right now this is why everyone hated her that wasn’t part of the Rainbooms or Sonata and Aria. Goldie finally calmed down and made a hand gesture as though swatting away what Adagio said. No not at all it brilliant getting people to go at it then swoop in for the kill, I’m impressed that’s some crafty tactics there”, Goldie said smiling.
Adagio smiled back at the comment but with a tab bit of a sinister hint to it. “I’m so glad you thought so I truly do my best to run my plans thoroughly”, Adagio words were as smooth and seductive in sense. Before Adagio and Goldie's talk could go any further Skully butted in quick and loud as a bolt of lightning. “Goldie please don’t use that tactic in any of our games we play with other people it never works”, Skully said pinching the bridge of his nose. Aria chimed in as well, “Adagio by thoroughly do you mean thoroughly into the ground?”
