Chapter 1~ Rejection Day!!!!

         I walk into the garadge that my band and I call ours and set up my guitar.I've been in this band, Blades For Days for four months now. "Raven I ....We have something to tell you-" my bandmate, Marcus says. I turn around and see them all with the same expression. Nervious mixed with a deer caught infront headlights look. Aggg this can't be good not one bit. "Go on Marcus" I say with a exusted tone in my voice. Insted of Marcus answering another bandmate,Cooper answers. "We are kicking you out of the band" he says and sighs. Then Ivain our drummer says "you seem to not be able to make it to any of our practices anymore so you have to get kicked". Before they can say anything else I put my guitar inside its case and strap it over my sholder. I walk out not even saying bye.All of these guys have beem my friends since I got here, they accepted me, they... They used me this whole time I was blind.I walk down the deserted streets.I hear music that needs to be fixed badly. I follow the music to an old church. Why on earth is someone playing rock music in a church!!!! I pull the door open slowly just so I can sneak a little peak on whats in there. Three boys were playing the only person they needed in there band was a lead guitar and I so happen to play that. A blond haird boy with emreld green eyes grabed a water bottle. Nows my chance because he is right by the entrance. "Ummm.... Hi I was wondering do you need a lead guitar" I say to the boy. He turn ways and looks at me a boyish smile plastered on his face. "Yea, I'm Blake by the" he says extending his hand out. I shake his hand and say "Raven Crow, I just got kicked out of a band and I heard you when I was in the alley way a few minutes ago". His smile grows and then he says "I like your name, two birds that symbolize death". Then he frowns and says "I didn't mean for it to sound so rude want me to intoduce you to the guys". I nod and he guides me to the alter where two boys sat texting. and another struming his bass guitar. "Guys we got a lead guitar now her name is Raven. Raven this is Troy our solo guitarist, also David our drummer, and our bass guitar is Giovonni but we call him Gio" Blake says. The boys look up and smile. The three reminded me of my neighbers for Las Vegas who had triplets. Ever sinced we moved here four months ago I always wondered if I would go back.Giovanni is the first to speak "hi so your our umm... lead guitar". I nod and another boy goes to speak but I couldn't tell which one. "Can you play" Troy asks his chocolate brown eyes sparkle with wonder. "Yea you guys wanna hear it since you've never heared me play before" I say. They all agree and I unstrap my guitar case. Once I pull out my mid-night colored fender telecaster David gasps in shock. "Was that the very few made in 2003 in that color" David asks. "Yup if you knew my uncle you would love him but too bad he is all the way in Russia" I say but I wisper the part about my uncle. "Who is your uncle Raven" Blake asks. I look down and say "Billie Joe Armstrong". When I look up the three boy's faces were priceless and Giovanni's face was total shock. I hook my guitar up to one of their amps. I start to play Master Of Pupets by Metalica and there amazment was what I liked about them. Then Blake shows me a few songs and I try to play them. "When did you learn how to play guitar" Blake asks after I play their second song. I stay silent thinking for when I learned. "I was six when I learned then it was before my fifth birthday I learned how to sing correctly, my uncle taught me." I say. Troy stammers "you learned by your uncle Billie Joe"?! I nod and then Troy asks "what else do you know how to play". I quickly think and say "I taught myself how to play the drums but I'm not that good at it and my uncles wife taught me how to play piano". Somthing beeps and Troy slides a lime green phone out of his pocket. He taps the screen then slides his finger. "Raven do you have a twitter or facebook" he asks still scanning his phone. "Yea both I also have an instagram search XRaven CrowX for all of them and you'll find me" I say pulling out my black I-Phone I accept all there friends request. "Hey battle of the bands at the wearhouse district friday night you think we can learn and practice a few songs by then" Troy says. Blake laughs and says "I forgot to tell you Troy is also our mananger too". Troy stays silent still scanning his phone for more info."Okay guys I sent you the link to battle of the bands so you all can see the info and I'm gonna make a quick call to the owner to tell them we will join" Troy says. I click the link and wait for it to load. Under the flier if had a picture of a sheet of paper that read:  in the warehouse district of town ^keep secerite^... I grin and say "were doing this aren't we. I can learn all your songs quick and show you some new songs I made that I didnt show my old band". They nod and I teach them my newest song called Burn It Down. After that my phone starts ringing I answer it. "Raven I thought band practice ended at five" my mother says into the phone. I sigh and say "they kicked me out of the band after school then I found a new band I'll be home in an hour". My mother answers "okay.... Glad you found a new band dinner will be ready at nine". I hang up and we practice a little longer."What is the band call" I say. The all shrug and stay silant. "We don't have one yet" David says. I nod and say "Wanna call it Reject or maybe umm... I'm out of ideas". Blake,Troy, and Giovanni laugh but David looks deep in thought. "Guys how about we use Ravens name as our band name because she is the one who compleated our band" David says. "How about Black Raven" Troy says, Blake smiles and says "I like it what about you Raven". I nod and Giovanni agrees so we make it our name. "I seen two cars outside so If I'm right two of you have a drivers licences" I say. Blake nod like one of the cars are his. "Can one of you drive me home then" I say barely over a wisper. "Yea I can I gotta head home so my dad doesn't think I went to a bar again" Blake says. Every one packs up and David,Troy, and Giovanni leave there stuff inside the church/band room. I show Blake where I live and he drops me off. I go to open the door then I say "I'll meet you and the others at the church tomarrow for another pratice after school". We say our goodbyes and I go into my house. I take down all of my Blades For Days posers I created and I throw it in my closet.I sit at my desk and start to create our official Black Raven poster. I drew a raven sitting on a guitar next to a tombstone surrounded by black and purple roses. I smile at my artwork and then I tape it to the wall. I lay on my black carpet and listen to my mom's music playing downstairs in the kitchen. My mother is listening to Three Doors Down. I lean my back against my bed and strum a few stings on my guitar trying to think of any new ideas.
