What are you going to do about it?

“Right class! Let’s get started!” Mr.Perry’s voice awoke me from my trembling thoughts.

“How is everyone getting along with the band project I set? Everyone getting on alright?” The class nodded, a few smiling. “Good. Basically this period is just for you to once again, work on your project.” He let out a small cough, before continuing “I have booked 2 of the other music rooms as practice area, is anyone ready for that stage?” He continued, glancing at us.

Josh’s hand stuck up and Mr. Perry smiled. “Good. Josh, your group may use room 3, I’ll be along to check on you shortly.” Josh nodded curtly, and stood up, followed by Max, Matt and finally Chris.

They looked across and gave me an expected glance so I quickly stood up and walked to the door, shortly followed by everyone else. Josh lead us into Music Room 3 and walked towards the equipment cupboard.

“Grab what you need. The leads are in here, and the amps in the corner.” He instructed, pulling out a small box that read ‘MICROPHONE’ on it. There was already a kit set up in the corner, so I grabbed a pair of drum sticks and sat behind the kit, waiting for everyone else to be ready.

“Matt! That’s my amp!” Max yelled, hitting Matt in the shoulder softly and stealing the amp he had been lugging across the floor.

“Dick.” Matt spat playfully, rubbing his shoulder before going back for another amp.

After we had all set up, Josh looked to Max and nodded, so that Max began to play, soon Chris and Matt joined in. I listened to the guitars going beautifully together, and then Josh joined in, singing.

Well somebody told me that
I would be a dreamer for life
Somebody told me that
I would never reach the other side…

And I started the rhythm, playing it perfectly until the guitars picked up and I improvised slightly, getting stuck.


“Once more?” An out of breath Josh asked, looking around at us, the only other people in the room.

“Sure.” I smiled, casting a glance towards the only clock in the room. “Okay. Whenever you’re ready, Max.” Josh spoke carefully, watching Max as he got his hands in the right place and strummed the first chord, and soon we were playing once more.

“That was awesome!” Chris yelled, grinning widely, once we had finished. “I second that.” Matt smiled, raising his arm in the air. “As do I.” Max smiled, Josh didn’t reply as he was trying to focus on steadying his fast breathing.

After a few moments of silence, Chris spoke. “We should have a band name.” He smirked, setting his guitar down. “Yes! That’s a good idea, actually.” Josh finally spoke, a smile breaking out on his features.

“Yeah.. How about Reckless and Relentless?” Max pitched in. “Doesn’t sound like us.” Matt shook his head and Josh scoffed.

“Says the one who got drunk on top of my RV.” Josh rolled his eyes, grinning. “Hey! That was one time!” Matt defended in a joking manner.

“Guys!.. How about You Me At Six?” Chris asked, plucking random guitar strings.

“That sounds good!” I piped in, hitting the bass pedal with my foot. “Original, I like it.” Max scratched his chin in a thinking manner.

“You Me At Six?” Josh glanced, seeing if it would suit everyone, and when he was met with all smiles, he smiled widely.

“You Me At Six.”
