A pink-haired girl popped out behind a speaker. "Okay, Ellie! Test it out!" 

"U-Um...testing! Testing...1, 2, 3," Ellie spoke into the mic in her hand. "I can't tell. Is this working?" 

Momo, who was sitting next to a computer, gave her a thumbs up. "I'm getting some bars. I think we're good. Genevieve just needs to turn the speakers up. Would you, please?"

"Yes!" She smiled and turned a knob on the speaker. "Speak again, Ellie." 

"Hello?" she spoke and the whole room shook.

"Too loud!" Genevieve yelled, turning the knob down severely. 

"Sorry..."Ellie said. 

"Nah, not your fault, dude," Genevieve smiled.

"O-okay..." Momo glanced at the computer monitor, then to her phone. "Alexander says he's bringing lunch. Miu is bringing that extension cord we need...Scarlett is bringing the backdrop and her makeup. We're all good to go!" 

"Yeah! Team Arufabettobando!" Ellie cheered. The band's name translated to "Alphabet band", a joke on how we were all in school, probably learning nothing more important than the alphabet. It was a bit rebellious, sure, but it felt good to do something a bit against the rules. Besides, the school officials didn't care. Well rounded students, Ellie was sure they thought. 

A few hours later, Ellie felt the roar of a crowd(mostly from their school) and the energy they seemed to release. 

"ARE YOU READY?!" Genevieve yelled, strumming her guitar. Ellie strutted onto the stage, faking confidence. 

You can do this, she thought. "Hey!" Ellie laughed. The crowd cheered. 

Scarlett and Alexander walked onto stage. Scarlett put on a punk persona, and Alexander, well...he was just himself. 

They sang for hours, Ellie, Scarlett, Alexander, and Geneveive switching as the main singer as the songs fit their voices well. This line-up was pre-decided of course. They didn't go into that blindly! 

Then, Ellie, finished her last note on the last song. The crowd clapped and cheered wildly. It made a lot of noise, even though there wasn't more than a hundred people. 

Then, Genevieve did the unexpected. A "finisher", you could say. She grabbed Ellie's waist and kissed her. Ellie might've been mad. It could've been for the show, y'know, just for the crowd, but it felt genuine, and she melted right there, in her touch.
