In the center of the school courtyard the clock tower rose up above conveniently telling the time to all the student around. It was probably the best reason why people shouldn't be late to lesson. Currently it displayed a time roughly half way through the lunch break, Brad didn't know exactly what time it was as he currently was sitting on the ground facing out at the rest of the courtyard and looking up at something high above and behind you hurt his neck so he gave up looking regularly.
Currently placed to his side was black guitar case made of a plastic or cloth he wasn't sure. It was a neat design though to straps meant he could carry his guitar on his back with ease and the case itself weighted very little. The guitar normally in the case was in his hands ready to be played. The old beaten up 3/4 size classic acoustic guitar had seen better days, it had also seen worse. When it had been in his father's cousin possession it was rarely used and almost never tuned but ever since it had been given to him Brad always treated it well.
Slowly Brad started to played the gentle melody of 'Every breath you take' a old song by the police and a song anyone wanting to listen to good music should get themselves on the Internet and listen to as it was a simple put a classic in his opinion. The guitar's tuning was spot as normal, as he tuned it at least once a day. As the song continued Brad voice joined into sing the song, not as good as his playing was but still not bad. He prided himself on his musical talent.
"Every breath you take and every move you make..."
Brad continued to sing picking up the volume at which he played and sung the song louder so that people passing by and hanging out in the courtyard would be able to hear. There was no reason he should be the only on to enjoy the song.

Elke was enjoying a day of checking out the ladies of the school, there was a permanent smile plastered to her face as she watched the girls from a safe place. The wiggle in their step and the jiggle in their chests. Awwwwwwyyeaaahhh. There was nothing like a good day scoping out the foxy ladies of Public High School 259! She like many pervy young men, couldn't get enough of it. The joy of seeing an incredible lovely lady, a wondrous rack from the gods, or even the nice legs of a tall girl. It was just something that brought joy to the day of the short girl. I'd tap that.. Elke thought to herself as she watched a girl run off, scurrying back to her pack like a misplaced little kitten. Oh what a good looking bunch. Closing her eyes, the raven haired girl listened to the sounds of the school yard. Babbling and giggling of girls, the nerdy debates about science and science fiction... Shouts and screams somewhere from a practice of some sort, distant monotone laughter of masses of smokers, and finally the strumming of a guitar. Chords taking form and creating a familiar tune, one of which often ran through her head. It took a few seconds for the girl to get off her butt, jump down from her hiding spot and head towards the sound. Long hair swayed with her steps, while her heterochromic stare searched for the douchbag man with the acoustic. it didn't take long before she located the source. OH HO HO HO. They had musicians at the school? That was a little surprising, she hadn't seen much apart from conflict and legs... >__>; "Every breath you take and every move you make...""Every bond you break, every step you take, I'll be watching you." With that Elke joined in, singing... to the best of her ability; which was decent. After all, she did want to be a voice actor! Had to be able to sing, just in case. The short girl smiled at the guitarist and waved. Laughing a little as she danced, it was fun.. WHY NOT? WELL OF COURSE SHE'D JOIN IN! Why not? She was short, cute, clad in cosplay, why the hell not? [[OOC: sorry about my post~ thought I'd invade]]

Brad looked up from the guitar as a another voice joined into the song. It was unexpected but not unwelcome event especially seeing reasonably cute girl who was the owner waving at him. Giving a polite nod in return to the way as his hand were unable to. Every single day Every word you say. Brad continued to sing while watching the girl. It was amusing for someone to just decided to join in with someone randomly singing.
The girl was a kind of distraction while looking at her instead of the guitar he was unable to correct his hands from messing up the melody. "Damn it." He muttered to himself suddenly looking down at the guitar. A habit of his was not to continue through a mistake being made it just annoyed him.
Looking back up Brad shrugged at the girl and then started playing from just before he had messed up. No longer singing he could focus on playing guitar while not looking at it as long as he didn't have to sing as well.

Elke smiled, chuckling as the guitarist messed up,pausing to regain his process. Shaking her head, the dark haired girl looked at him with a smirk. She had kept singing,why not? It was kind of fun. Regardless of the looks she got from others, she'd stick her tongue out at them and just laugh. What was the point in being embarrassed about having fun? She'd watch for the song to finish before going to talk to him.
Actually playing like they did reminded of her school in Canadialand. Playing music in the halls and singing along with friends....and band class. The angry conductor scolding the newbies every time they stopped. Even the violin section wasn't free from him. Mind you, that was because of her stopping and cursing. Elke still did it.
Once the song ended..
The girl would turn to look at him, "You know, you never stop. hahaha. For the most part people don't notice when a person playing makes a mistake. Unless they play." Of course the words were spoken in a friendly tone. In no way was she trying to be mean, just helpful tip; From one strings player to another.
The girl still wanted to dance, it was fun. Actually the most fun she had in school since the duck visit. Perhaps they could rock out some more? "The name is Elke! Nice to meet'cha!" Elke smiled at the stranger, extending a hand to him. All the while waiting.. Yes waiting to pounce... TO QUESTION! BUWHAHAAHAHAHA!
What else could he do? HMMMMMMM ;'>
"There's still time left in lunch. What other songs do you know?" :3

Brad continued to play as the girl sang along with the music. He really should have got a cup or put the guitar case laid out in front of him. It was unlikely that other student would put money down for him but someone might have done. As the song came to a close, Brad smiled to the girl.
"You know, you never stop. hahaha. For the most part people don't notice when a person playing makes a mistake. Unless they play. The girl said to him, and he knew it to be true. He noticed mistake himself and didn't want to play unless he got it right. "The name is Elke! Nice to meet'cha!" She introduced herself and offer him a hand. "Brad A pleasure to meet you." Taking the hand and shaking it gently.
"There's still time left in lunch. What other songs do you know?" She asked him. "Too much to name it all." Red hot chilli peppers, matchbox 20, more from the police and a lot more." Brad replied returning his hand to the guitar ready to play when a request a made as he was expecting.

GENTLE HANDSHAKE? WHAT WAS THAT NONSENSE? What did this Brad fellow take her for? A GIRL!? Maybe she was one, a short one at that, but she wasn't weak. Heck she was Canadian.. AND A FARMER D< Yes, she actually admitted to it...in her head, but it didn't matter. All the while the fact he was pretty short seemed to pass right right past the obvious thinking portion of her brain. Elke smiled back at Brad, giving him a a firm one she'd laugh.
It was kind of amusing.
What to get him to play?
FOR THE FACT HE WAS A GUITAR PLAYER... It meant for sure... he knew a song... EVERYONE WHO PLAYS KNOWS IT. Hell, she knew it!
"Wonderwall... ha ha ha ha." Elke couldn't help but laugh, it was really amusing. She loved the song,but at the same time it amused her. Mostly just the high number of people who could play it.... Acoutic... ha ha ha.
Before he even started, she'd sing the first two lines, if only to see if the words still lingered in her mind. "Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you."
It had been too long, perhaps since the long journey with her friends. Probably, they did sing a lot driving across Canada and down to California.
Swaying a little the girl tried her best to remain still, which of course seemed to prove difficult. All she wanted to do was dance, sing, and have fun, SCREW CLASS D< It wasn't fun there.
"IS that okay? Or would you rather play a different song? I'm sure I could think of another if you want." Cheerful and hyper, as usual.

Brad suppressed a groan when she asked for the song. Wonderwall by Oasis in 1995. It was something he knew of course, everyone who knew how to play knew how to play that. It was like the intro to 'Smoke on the Water' Over done and overplayed but a stepping stone for all new players. But Brad wasn't to deny a request he could carry out.
As Elke sung the first part of the song to herself, Brad shot a hand into a pocket on his guitar case and pawed around seemingly at random until his hand recognized the shape of what he was looking for. clasping his hand around the capo and pulling it out Brad quickly put it on to the guitar frets ready to play.
"IS that okay? Or would you rather play a different song? I'm sure I could think of another if you want."
"Na it's cool I'm already ready now." Brad replied pulling the guitar back to the ready and placing his hands ready to play and then he started. Starting out with the easy strumming up and down of the intro as his left hand changed frets. He played and waited for Elke to joining singing in with him again.

Elke couldn't help but smile,knowing for a moment that he did seem a little reluctant, perhaps if only the the momentary expression.There was something she wanted to see, if she could get the people going, humming,joining in, or something. It had once worked with that one song by the venga boys, why not try it with wonderwall? Everyone knew it! Whether they liked the song, or had been to a showing of new artists trying to make it big. There's always some guy on an acoustic guitar playing the song. Perhaps Elke was trying to see if she could get people to break out into song. IT COULD WORK! DON'T BASH IT TILL YOU TRY IT.
>__>;;;
So he started playing~ and so she began singing.
"Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you. By now you should've somehow realized what you gotta do. I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now." The girl smiled brightly, looking back at the, trying to stop her laughing.
Somewhere around them she heard someone continuing with her. "Backbeat the word was on the street that the fire in your heart is out. I'm sure you've heard it all before but you never really had a doubt."
PERFECTTOOO. She had got some people in on it, while others wandered by humming it. Of course no real world attempt at a musical number if perfect. You'll always get... Those whom laugh and boo. Knowing all too well they weren't man enough to join in. Or at least the last part was what Elke thought. So anyways, back to the singing, swaying and dancing. The raven hared girl loved hearing other people sing with her, it was better than her just singing alone.
Just as someone walked by her, the girl looked at them with a smile while singing. "Because maybe, You're gonna be the one who saves me ?" She'd point to them and grab the girls hand, pulling her into the dance. A little reluctant the girl would take a moment before she too decided to join in. "And after all, you're my wonderwall!" She'd stick around until the song ended.
As the song finished voices and people disappeared, HOW LAMMMEEEE. Apparently they were fleeing, shamed they had joined in.OHHH WELL! Elke was happy, she had her school random song moment. RIGGHHTT? At the end, Elke burst into laughter, dropping herself down into the grass, her red blue eyes looking up to the sky.
"That was great. ha ha ha. Sorry for picking the song, ha haha."

Brad played and sometimes sung as well as a few other as well as Elke joined in to the music. Others didn't as nicely but he ignored them and continued to play slightly surprised when Elke grabbed a passing girl and made her join in as well. The song drew to a close and most of those who had joined in quickly left embarrassed that they had done so.
Brad would burst into a cheerful laughter and slapped his strumming hand on his thigh a couple times, a kind of clap to those who had been brave enough to join in the first place. "That was great. ha ha ha. Sorry for picking the song, ha haha." Elke would say to him also laughing as well.
"no worries, music is to be enjoyed and from the looks of how that went a lot of people enjoyed themselves." Brad would respond as he removed the capo from the guitar and throw it back in to the pocket on the guitar case. "I'm just glad you had fun." Brad added with a smile before leaning back into the clock tower and stretching his arms and legs out to the side and trying to glance up at the clock above like he had given up before, wondering if he had enough time to get something to eat before class would restart.

Well this here was quite a sight. Peace. Roth hadn't found anything peaceful about L.A. since he arrived. Now, for once there was just music, guitar, singing. It felt good listening to the music. He approached the Small gathering to just listen. It was soothing. Roth had felt soothed in a long time.
Roth stayed his distance though, not wanting to get too close. He casually looked up at the clock. Amazingly there was still about 10 minutes left until class started back up again. Now Roth began to wonder. Does he take requests.
The group began to slowly disperse, but Roth stayed, loving the vibe. He looked at the guitarist, and the the girl singing next to him. Roth had no talent for singing, but he couldn't be that bad. He looked to them, nodded, and hoped they would pick up.
"In the time of Chimpanzees I was a monkey, Butane in my veins and I was out to cut the junkie."
Roth started up with his mediocre singing/ It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't good either. The heavy guitar didn't kick in for a while in the song, so he hoped that eventually the two would join him and Roth wouldn't look like a total idiot like usual.
"With the plastic eyeballs, spray paint the vegetables, dog food stalls, beefcake pantyhose.
Kill the head lights, put it in neutral, Stock car flamin' with a loser and the cruise control.
Babies in Reno with the vitamin D, got a couple of couches, sleep on the love-seat."
Roth was groov'in to the beat. While missing notes and occasionally screwing up the tempo Roth kept going, acting out the lyrics as he went. Everyone knew Beck, but the lyrics were something few people really knew. Roth was one of them.
"Someone came sayin' I'm insane to complain about a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt.
Don't believe everything that you breathe, you got a parking violation and a maggot on your shirt.
So you shave your face with some Mace in the dark, savin' all your food stamps and burnin down the trailer park.
YO! ...Cut it!"
Now he waited for all the music to come to him, and hopefully someone join in on the chorus.

So much for om noms!
There was another voice, this time one singing ...Beck was it? Smiling the raven haired girl stood up, listening to the tempo. It had been a while since she last heard the song, but it's words she recalled. It paid to have a wide variety of music liked. He was funny, but it made her happy that he was singing too. Swaying to the beat, she'd wait until the chorus until she joined in. It was more suited for her, since most of the words were a little rappy.. Not like she wouldn't try.
"Soy un perdedor.. I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?"
Elke smiled, it was kind of fun. Trying to say the rest of the words. Missing some words, speaking too slowly, or going too fast. It didn't matter right? Every time she stumbled, the girl tried her best to keep herself from stopping and cursing. MUST NOT STOPPPP. Continuing, she laugh and fail at keeping her composure as she went along.
THHHAANKKKFFULL FOR THE CHORUS.
Get crazy with the cheese whiz.
"Soy un perdedor.. I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? drive-by body-pierce...yo bring it on down Soooooyy...."
When she got to the back wards chorus... THAT WAS DIFFICULLLTTT.. Although she had played final fantasy eight and read all the speech back wards in different voices, she had words to look at. ;O; She hadn't memorized it.
" em llik ooy tod whu os ybab lysol a im..."
At that point she couldn't conceal her laughter... It was too funny. Her stumbling, the song was amusing, and her partner in singing was hilarious and awesome! Laughing, she'd smile up at him, placing both hands on her knees as she looked down at the grass. Attempting to stop her laughing.It was so difficult ;O;

Brad finished stretching out as another person started singing. He really wanted to get something to eat. Getting up onto his feet, as the other guy sung badly in his opinion. It wasn't his place to judge. Standing to his feet and pulling the guitar up with him Brad leaned leisurely in to the tower and tried to recall the song being sung.
As Elke joined in with the guy singing at the chorus it immediately made him think what the song was. Loser by Beck not a bad song but not one he had ever bothered to learn on the guitar. As such he didn't know what to do. He couldn't play what he didn't know but he did like Elke know the chorus. With a shrug to himself he joined in with the singing of the chorus.
Not going to be using the guitar for now he place the base of the guitar's body on the ground and placed a hand on top of the neck. Brad gave the look to the new guy the was a apology in it's own about him not knowing how to play the song.

Roth noticed the absence of music about halfway into the song. Atleast the singing kept going. With only a few more verses to go Roth finished up rather quickly seeing as the group had all but gone and it was just the three of'em.
"Aw man, I was hoping you'd know that one. Aw well."
Roth looked up at the clock tower. There was about 5ish minutes left til the class bell. Then he remembered where he was heading in the first place. He was hungry as shit. Roth looked at the two who also looked a bit on the famished side.
"Well I took up quite a bit of you time. You guys hungry? I'll buy."
Roth gave the two a friendly smile hoping they'd take up his offer. Roth had a steady flow of cash from Esau and needed friends seeing as he already had a fair share of enemies.

Elke couldn't help but laugh, they were all so bad. Perhaps it just wasn't a song to sing a Capella, or when you don't know the words very well. Either way, Elke couldn't help but smile. Looking at her two comrades, they were both quite handsome.
AWYEAAHHHHH. Delicious people all around!
In the distance a lovely girl with golden hair ran to the school, chest a bouncing with every glorious step she took. All that ran through Elke's mind was that she was delicious; every curve of her body was so lovely. I'd tap that and them... BWUAHAHAHAHAHAA!
All while thinking devious thoughts the raven haired girl remained smiling as if nothing was wrong, yes nothing. "Something to eat sounds good."
>__> <__< >__> <__<
"Anyone wanna skip class?" Elke grinned at them, would they even be able to make it to the next class? Five minutes left of lunch, SO WHY NOT? Plus, Elke loved the idea of spending time getting to know them more... The more information, the easier to stalk befriend, right?
What they likes, their hobbies, where they lived their favourite noms, when they left their houses, what music they liked... and all that nonsense!
IT WOULD BE GREAT!
BUWHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAA..
Smiling innocently the girl swayed a little, looking over at her short comrade and then to the tall one.

Both of those thing sounded like a great idea to his mind. Free food and skipping lesson, quickly Brad thought to himself he didn't have music or IT next both the lesson that he like so he wouldn't mind missing whatever he did have.
"Sure free food who am I to turn that down. We'll probably have to leave the school ground cause the cafeteria won't be open much longer so skipping class is the only option."
Brad would bend over and grab the guitar's case and quickly flap it about before carefully placing the guitar inside and zipping the case close. Zipping the other pockets on the case close quickly Brad swung the back pack on to his back quickly.
"Brad, Elke. Nice to meet you mate what your name?" Brad said specking with his hands motioning to himself and Elke in turn before leisurely waving toward Roth himself. "Anyway let get out of here before we get told to go to class by someone." He said looking around.
