《A Musician To Be Reckoned With》| Chapter 5 | Science AP
Advertisement
After our performance, the rest of the class was self study getting me to force myself to ask Mr Hendricks of the previous worksheets and everything. I had only scanned the notes getting the basic information of what this class exactly specialize at. Deciding to do all the past work later tonight, I plug in my headphones before reading over the huge stack of notes.
Time passed really quickly as the bell rang getting me to look up from my concentration and begin packing up. Placing the stack of paper - which was now in it's own binder - into my bag, I begin heading off to my next class.
"Do you want me to show you where your next class is?" Maki offers getting me to smile.
"It's fine, I have a map of the school. I think I can handle it, but thanks. I don't want to bother you too much." I reassure but his hidden worried face continues to show.
Right before he could protest, the door slams open to reveal three familiar looking brothers.
"Octave! We're here to pick you up!" Owen chirps with mischief still in his eyes.
Already in the first name basis?
Knowing only the triplets for a little while during the Chorus Choir, I can guess their personality already just by the way they act. They were all mischievous; but you can tell that Derrick is the one that loves fooling around more, Jason was the most responsible one, and Owen was a super mischief person.
"Looks like I already have some guides to my next class." I chuckle getting Maki to look between the triplets and I.
He heads over to them getting me to tilt my head before feeling a tug on my sleeve. Looking down to find Naya looking up at me, I smile.
"Be careful." she blushes nervously getting me to chuckle silently.
"Thanks Naya." I give her a quick hug which gets her eyes to brighten more.
"Naya! Let's go!" Maki demands already at the doorway waiting for his childhood friend.
The petite senior year student begins rushing to him as they both wave their goodbyes for now. I wave back before facing the three triplets.
"So I have Science AP with you all?" I ask raising an eyebrow.
"Yup! Also with Shiro but he can't make cause of some problems. And it's going to be your favorite class since we're in it." Derrick winks getting me to giggle.
"Sure thing." Pushing the curiosity of the problem Shiro has.
Following them out, I find that they had easily surround me with Derrick at the front and the other two taking my sides. Wondering if this is normal, I don't question it as I just silently follow. Stares direct to us, especially me with gossips all around. Jason, being the cool one steps closer to me placing his hand on my back leading me.
"Octave, how was History of Music?" Owen asks beside me.

"It was fine, but Maki almost got in trouble." I chuckle weakly.
"Here, give me your bag." he offers taking my bag from my hand before I could argue.
"Oh! Now I'm thinking about, we haven't exactly introduced ourselves!" Derrick perks before turning to me while walking backwards, "I'm Derrick Abel, the oldest of us triplets. You can just call we Derrick, no need for politeness. We all are also in 2nd Year, junior."
"I'm Owen! The handsome one out of us triplets, and the youngest." Owen fools around earning a light smack on his head from Derrick.
Laughing lightly at their playful sides, I look over to Jason.
"Jason." he shows off a small smile.
"It's nice to meet you three!" I reply getting a ruffle of my hair from Derrick.
"With us by your side, Shortcake, you have nothing to fear at this school." he winks before facing back to the front.
That's when I notice, I was so easily distracted already by their playful atmosphere that I had forgotten about all the students around me. In just a few seconds, we have already arrived to science lab. James and Owen guide me to a table as Derrick heads over to the teacher who just glances at me and smiles before nodding.
Owen offers me a seat at their station at the back of the class, James sit on my right with Owen on my left. Derrick joins beside Owen as the youngest triplet places my bag down on the floor. The warmth of the hand on my back disappears as I just sit silently between these brothers.
They work fast.
The bell rings signalling the 4th block to begin, catching all the students' attention. As the teacher stands up from his desk, he clears his throat before looking at me with a smile.
This teacher seems nice. Let's hope so.
"Everyone, we have a transfer student today. If you won't mind, please introduce yourself." he gestures to me getting me to sit up.
Bowing 90 degrees, I face everyone's curious looks, "Hi! I'm Octave Reiner! Please take care of me from now on."
Slow claps fill the class before the teacher begins the class getting everyone's attention back to him. A stack of sheets slide in front of me to look over at Derrick who has a smirk on his face. Taking it from him, I mouth out a 'thank you' which he responds with a wink. Skimming through the notes, I place them into another binder before turning to the notes that the teacher is teaching right now.
Minutes pass as we talk about Physics which I take small notes time to time before realizing the brothers are communicating with each other by eye contact and tiny gestures. Looking over to Owen, he was writing lyrics on a piece of paper as Jason was listening to music with his earphones on and Derrick looking over music sheets.

Reading over the lyrics, I tilt my head finding a few mistakes here and there. Looking up to Owen who has his eyes narrowing in difficulty gets me to take the pencil he balances between his nose and mouth. This shocks him getting him to nearly jump as he catches his brothers' attention. But I ignore their curious looks as I quickly look over the lyrics again before scribbling some things and writing new lyrics. They watch attentively before I finish and place the pencil down. Owen takes the sheets and looks at the lyrics closes reading them as Derrick leans in to do the same. Jason just quickly scans it before clicking his MP3 and taking one of his earphones out.
He places one in my right ear getting me to look at him before he plays the music, he also snatches the music sheets in Derrick's hand before passing it to me. Knowing what he wants, I listen attentively while reading the music sheets. Taking the pen from Owen again, I circle some parts and put some of my own melody in. They all look attentively at what I'm doing before I place the pen down and hand it over to Derrick who checks it over with Owen. Taking the headphones out of my ear, Jason picks me up before sneakily placing me on his lap all of a sudden while he sits on my chair.
What the?!
I was in shock at this sudden closeness I receive as the three triplets whisper to each other with me trying my best not to blush. Staying quiet to not suddenly break their concentration, I pay back attention to class noticing a few glances from students. But I ignore them as this timer suddenly goes of nearly frightening me.
Mr Jensen then turns off the timer before turning to the triplets, "Boys?"
"Just a second, Mr Jensen!" Owen places his index finger out as the three brothers focus on Derrick who's doing quick adjustments to the music online.
Quickly, Derrick pumps his fists up before standing up, "Okay, we're ready."
Jason puts me down back on my chair as the three of them head over to the front of the class. The second oldest brother of the triplets pass his MP3 to Mr Jensen who takes it and connects it with the speakers.
They all take mic stands from the corner of the front as they all align together in a line. Students pay attentively to them as the girls all sigh swooning.
Wondering what's happening, I silently wait before the music that I heard from before comes on the speakers. There were new arrangements due to me as the three boys begin their performance.

As the music ends, the girls squeal all the boys sigh from their annoying pitches but also acknowledges the three brothers. The triplets all bow as Mr Jensen scribbles on his notebook. Right on time, the bell rings as I stay in confusion.
"You look so cute when you're confused." Owen coos squishing my face with his hands getting Derrick to laugh.
"Every class, there will be a group to perform every day before class ends. We are chosen to do it every 10 times since there's 10 groups here." Jason explains picking up my bag.
"And now you're in our group! So prepare to join us up there, Shortcake!" Derrick winks placing his arm around my shoulder.
"I would have appreciated if you guys had told me earlier." I sigh.
"Don't be like that. We wanted to surprise you." Owen kisses my head.
"And," I begin, "What's with all this closeness and interaction with each other? Not like I'm exactly complaining, but..."
"You're just too cute to be away from, Shortcake." Derrick coos getting me to sigh.
I can never handle twins or triplets properly, they always find a way.
This might perhaps be one of the most stressing classes.
