Chapter 3
Zack’s POV
“So which house is yours?” Matt asked as we were on our way home from school
“That one.” I said pointing to medium size house
“I have practice at 5:30 so you want to go grab your guitar and head over to my house and then on my way to practice drop you off.”
“Sounds like a plan to me.” I said getting out of his car walking into the house.
I sat my backpack on the kitchen table and walked back to my room. I pulled my guitar off its stand and put it in the case. I put the case on my back and walked back out to the living room.
“Zack how was your day at school sweetie?” mom asked
“It was great mom I’m going over to my friend’s house I’ll be back at about 5:15 ok.” I said
“Alright sweetie I’m glad you made friends already.” she said smiling at me
“You and me both mom bye.” I called out running out the door to Matt’s car
“Took you long enough.” he said after I had my guitar in the back
“I had to talk to mom.”
“Ohh that explains it let’s roll.” he said as he went up a few houses pulling into one about the same size as mine.
“You live five houses from me I can walk home if you need me to.” I said
“Nah it’s all good.”
We got out of the car I grabbed my guitar. Matt pulled the garage door open and inside was Jimmy, Johnny and Brian great.
“Dude what are you doing here?” Matt asked Brian obviously surprised Brian’s here
“Well noob over there can play guitar I’m here to tell him how bad he is.” Brian said
“Can’t you be nice for three minutes?”
“I tried but it hurt so bad I said I’d never do it again.”
“Thanks.” I mumbled
“You can set up Zack us Brian amp over there.” Matt said
“Hay that’s-”
“He’s using it deal with it.” Matt said as Brian sat back downing mumbling
I took my guitar out of its case and went over plugging it into the amp. I strummed it a few times making sure it was tuned.
“A fender.” Brian laughed
“I don’t have money for the guitar I want so my mom got me this one a few years ago.” I said that shut him up.
“So want me to play anything in particular?” I asked
“What ever you feel like dude.” Jimmy said
So I started playing something I taught myself Smells Like Teen Spirit by: Nirvana.
“Dude you’re good who taught you?” Johnny asked
“Self taught I taught myself from watching music videos of my favorite bands.” I said
“Dude that’s really cool and you can play like that.” Matt said
“Thanks.” I mumbled
“You weren’t the worst I ever heard I’ll give you that but you’re far from the best…me.” Brian smirked
“Brian your dad taught you and your dad was taught by some of the greatest guitarists in the world. Zack taught himself and he’s one of the best I’ve ever heard. So get your head out of your ass and act like a person.” Matt said getting angry Brian just turned his head.
“You want to be in our band?” Matt asked me
“Seriously.” I said
“Of course you’re really good.”
“Yeah that’d be awesome, what’s the bands name?” I asked
“Uhh we don’t have one.”
“While we’re on band members you sure you don’t want to be in the band Brian?” Jimmy asked turning his head looking at Brian
“Actually I’ve been thinking about that and if you wouldn’t mind I’d like to be in your band.” he said
“I’m cool with what about you guys?” Jimmy asked turning to the rest of us.
“Sure.” Johnny said
“Yeah I’m down with it what about you Zack?” Matt said
“Uhh yeah sure.” I said
“Sweet.” he smiled jumping up and grabbing his guitar.
“We need a name now.” Matt said
“Yeah No Name is not a name for a band.” Brian said
“When everyone gets home think of some alright.” Matt said
For the next hour and a half we all sat around joking and playing. When I heard Brian playing guitar it made me feel low he wasn’t just good he was amazing one of the best guitarists I’ve ever heard it makes me feel ashamed to be in the same room as him. Jimmy he can play drums like a made man which is a good thing. Johnny he rocks at base. And Matt has an amazing voice. Why they would let someone like me in the band I don’t know. At 5:10 Jimmy and Brian left for practice while Johnny walked home. After they were gone Matt went in his house to change into his practice jersey. I was leaning against his car when he ran out. I have to say he looks different he took out his gauges and lip ring. And instead of his black jeans and t-shirt he wore a jersey and basketball shorts with sandals carrying his basketball shoes.
“Don’t say anything.” Matt said getting in the car
“You just look different is all.”
“Yeah coach doesn’t like me having my gauges or lip pierced but I’m too good to cut so he just told me to take them out for practices and games.”
“Dude that sucks.”
“Yeah it does you should see Jimmy in his jersey he’s a total different person same with Brian.” he said as he pulled in front of my house.
“I’ll have to come to a game.” I said
“Next one’s tomorrow home I ca n get you in for free now Johnny won’t look lonely watching us.” he said laughing
“Yeah give him some company later man.” I said getting out
“I’ll come get you in the morning for school Kay.”
“Alright thanks dude later.” I said as he drove off
I walked into the house mom was in fixing supper.
“So how was hanging with your friends?” she asked
“Pretty cool I’m in a band now so I just left my guitar at Matt’s house.” I said
“Ok sweetie so your friends name is Matt.” she said if you haven’t guessed me and my mom are really close
“Mom not that kind of friend yea I may be bi but I don’t go looking for people right off the bat.”
“Ok, ok so could he more than likely be a more than friend.”
“Mom stop.” I said blushing like mad
“Ok, ok have you made any other friends?”
“Yeah Jimmy, Johnny, and I don’t know if you can call Brian a friend or not.”
“Why?”
“Well ever since I met him this morning he’s been really mean to me.” I said looking at the ground
“How so?”
“Well he’s constantly messing with me, he calls me the noob, and he shoved me into a locker.”
“Sweetie I think he may actually have a crush on you.”
“Pshhh Brian have a crush on me, he’s as straight as a line.”
“I’m just telling you sweetie dinner’s ready.” she said bringing out two plates
After dinner I went and did my homework. After that I laid in my room listening to Iron Maiden thinking of names for the band but nothing. Now I feel bad everyone’s probably got like ten good names and I can’t even think of one.
The next day Matt picked me up for school. We went and met the others at the place we were for lunch yesterday. Brian was smoking a cigarette while Johnny and Jimmy were talking.
“You got another?” I asked Brian he nodded and threw me the pack and a lighter.
“Well does anyone have any ideas?” Matt asked as I lit up my cigarette
“Nope.” Jimmy said proudly
“Sorry dude couldn’t think of anything.” Johnny said
“Me either.” I said
“I had other things on my mind that kept merging with that so since I didn’t want to give you a weird name I just stopped thinking.” Brian said
“So I’m the only one that did our homework damn. Well I have two names ‘Lips of Deceit’ or ‘Avenged Sevenfold’ what do you guys think?” Matt said
“Avenged Sevenfold badass.” Brian said
“Totally.” I agreed
“Yeah dude so fucking sick.” Jimmy said
“I’m with them.” Johnny said
“So we all agree Avenged Sevenfold?” Matt asked we all nodded
“WE ARE AVENGED SEVENFOLD AND WE ROCK!” Matt yelled throwing his fist in the air
(A/N: And the birth of Avenged Sevenfold I thought I might as well put this stuff in there since I wrote and 11 page research paper on A7X that got me a B can you guys believe it a B. Anyway off track yep there you go.)
