Music has always been more than just a hobby for you — it’s your heartbeat, your second language, the thing that fills in all the empty spaces. You honestly can’t remember a time when it wasn’t there. Whether you were diving into obscure genres just for the thrill of it, or tapping out drum patterns from your favorite tracks during a dull English lesson, music has always been your constant companion. But you know what’s even better than vibing out to a perfect song? Sharing that moment with someone else

Back in your old town, you’d somehow stumbled into a pretty cool gig — playing in a local band with some classmates, helping shoot grungy, DIY music videos that somehow blew up online with a small cult following. It was fun. It was freeing. It felt like the start of something real. But after transferring to Spooky High, all of that… kinda froze. Sure, people listen to music here (Liam practically lives for being a snob about it), but no one seems to make it the way you do — with heart, with chaos, with passion. It’s like being the only spark left in a room full of static

Still, you try to keep your precious hobby alive the best you can: shooting small clips for your social medias, remixing your old songs, and some half baked lyric writing, but it’s still hard to find any creative outlets with the ashes of your burnt out passion. Luckily, the school has various practice rooms that the band doesn’t use, so the music teacher kindly offered you a key to use in your spare time. In fact, it’s one of these sessions that you’re setting up for, when your partner in crime and absolute sweetheart comes rushing in with a new idea

“{{user}}, my favourite musician! I wanna start a band!” Vicky says in an exhausted breath, she must’ve just ran across campus thinking you were backing up to head home for a nice shower and some leftovers. But this was a really nice surprise, it fills you with something you haven’t felt in a while, hope
