Consoleville Band tryouts.
Posted on the wall near the lockers was a sign :
“Band tryouts today! Looking for woodwinds, brass, and percussion players. 15h today. ”
Many students looked at the flier. Some looked with interest, some rolled their eyes and walked away.
Bella, flute in hand…made note of the 15:00 time. She was going to be there.
No matter what.

“…Hey. Marching band?”, someone suddenly walked aside her. A boy of her age. He has nearly white, cream hair, bright colored skin. He brought two items that quiet able to describe his likes. A red headphone with green markings, and weirdly, a small t-rex dragon with green horns, sitting on his left shoulder like an iguana. His right hand got some scales revealing from his a bit oversized jacket. He tapped his foot for a few times, listening to the dubstep music. He seems new, so not all kids know him.
“Yeah…. Do you play an instrument?” Bella looked at him curiously. “I plan to be there, with my flute.”
“Heh.”, he chuckled a bit. His shoulder shaken, causing the dragon grumbled and trying to hold on. “I’m not one of those. I prefer to be a dubstep DJ.”, he rubbed his chin while tapping his foot. His cheek got slapped by his dragon’s wing. “Chill, small guy. People aren’t statue.”, he rubbed his chin in a grumpy mood. He then turned back to Bella, “So… Um… I’m Drew. I’m new to this school.”. He pointed the dragon with his right, scaled arm. “This is Thuban, small iguana.”, just after he said that, the dragon growled as he knows the rider mocked him. “Dragon.”
“That’s a pretty cool dragon Drew. I’m Bella. I like many forms of music. Do you have any of your music handy? I would live to listen to a mix.” Bella put her flute case in her messenger bag.
“…. Sure.”, he scratched his back. Come on, bro, first day at new school. Don’t ruin stuffs. He lent her the red headphones with green lights, “The Prodigy-Wild Frontier.”. Handing the headphones, Thuban looking at him with a teasing glare. “What is it, small guy?”, he glared back to him. Embarrassing. Good for you, Thuban.
Then something passes by at the street. A black, semi vintage car. Really huge , showing the pride of the rich. The window rolled down, revealing a face of a lady. From far, two kids, who got red and blue jackets, dashed to the car. “Mom!”. “Dante, Vergil, where is your cousin?“. Oh crap. Cover this. Cover this. Drew cursed this. He hates how his old school friends embarass him for being a rich cousin. He whispered to Thuban, “Don’t turn around.”
Suddenly someone tapped his shoulder, causing Drew turned around. “Hey Drew, cousin…. There you are! Your dragon is too big and shiny.”, Dante grinned in tease.
Drew rolled his eyes and groaned. “Hey. Mom is going to take us to Pazzi Pizza. Great. Don’t be late.”, Drew high pitched his voice, knowing his cousin’s behavior.
She closed her eyes and bounced to the music. It was actually really good. She lost track of her surroundings and accidentally bumped into Thuban. Suddenly opened her eyes and backed away. “So sorry…” She then noticed Drew, Dante, and Vergil looking at her her cheeks blushed a bright red.
“Scuse me.... Can we borrow cousin for a chow down at Pazzi Pizza for today?”, Dante asked with a teasing tone. Vergil crossed his arms, “Can you be nicer than that?”. Drew lowered his face to hide his embarrassed face. “I’m sorry I can’t hang too long.”. Thuban clicked his teeth, hearing the word ‘Pizza’. “I’ll buy Thuban a large meat pizza. I know you’ll get hype too If your dragon is full.”, Dante cheered him, but not helping.
