Chissy Costanza is getting ready for a new day of school.When she gets a message from her best friend,David Frank:
David Frank_

Chrissy Costanza_
Hey David! sure, why?
David Frank_
just want 2 know if i should wait 4 u?
Chrissy Costanza_
ok, meet you in 10 @ da bus stop
she packs all her stuff in to her soft pink school bag and sprints down stairs. She goes to the kitchen and pics an apple and bottled juice and throw them into the bagpack. She gets out and goes to the place where she will meet her friend.
_ Hi!-Chrissy told him.
_Hey! ready for another shitty school day?
- yup, you ready?
- yeah, at least you are here- he smiled, with one of those smiles that melt anyone's heart
- sure, and for our luck, we have the 3 fisrt classes together
-and then luch... together again
-and then the last class together AGAIN
They start laughing, it is mostly their every day conversation. Then the bus arrives, they get in and look for their sits. During the drive they are in silent, she is writting some lyrics for a song, he is also bussy with his songs.They get to school,and they see their friends: Ricky and Jose.
-hey, guys!- Jose greeted
-hi! what's up?- David says
- not much, just...-the bell rings interrupting Ricky
-we better go to classes, se ya later guys- Jose waved to them and started walking away, Ricky follows him
- Let's go, Mr. Schneider will get mad if we are late for math-Chrissy told David
Classes with David are fun for Chrissy. After math they go to History with Mr. Tsui.
-Miss Costanza and Mr. Frank, would you like to share your paper with the class- the teacher says, when he sees the folded paper that they are holding- Costanza exchange sits with Miss Alvord.
Now Chrissy is in between William Ferri and Daniel Gow,two dudes that are really geeky (just like her), but they are also in her music class and they are good at it (again like her). All of a sudden, Gow gives her a note, good she already got in trouble because of a note, the less thing she needs is this. She quickly opens it
hi Chrissy, Will and I are wandering if you'd like to join our band for the Battle of Bands on Saturday?
she grabes a pen and writtes
sure, it would be nice! : )
Dan reads the paper and replies
see you after school?
Chrissy doubts for a second
Ok
Chapter Two~ Wait! What?
Chrissy goes to her next class, forgetting that David is with her. She sits and wait for the class to start, the teacher arrives and start explainig the topic. Sudenly she is given a note... what happens with people and notes today! Chrissy grabes it, without looking who is the emmisor, she is pissed with the notes.
Chrissy you ok?
f:D
then she realizes that who is talking to her is her best friend,David.
yeah, fine
f:C
She smiles to the boy that was by her side. He believes her words.After that they dont talk anymore until the class is over
-lets go eat something- David suggests
they go to the caffeteria, and get some pizza and juice in their trays and then they go to their ussual table with the Ricky and Jose
- hi guys- Ricky says
-Hey!- David and Chrissy answer together and everyone laughs
- Guys! have you heard about the Battle of Bands?- Jose is pumped when he asks
- heard some of it, why?- David tells them
- what do you think of all of us, being a band?- Ricky doesn't let them answer-me on the drums, Jose woth his guitar, David on the bass and vocals with Chrissy.
-I'm in it- Jose says taking a bite of his apple
- me too, how 'bout you, Chrissy?
- guys ...I... well...- Chrissy cant stop babbling
- Chrissy?- David repeats with his concerned eyes looking for an answer in her face
- Im sorry, Im already in a band
- wait! what??
Chapter Three~Against the Current
- wait David, let her explain- Ricky tries to calm down a very upset David
- explain what Ricky? Chrissy I cant believe you are choosing someone over us... over me, Im your best friend, or at least I thought i was!
- Im not choosing anyone over anyone! you are my best friend, but it doesnt gives you the right to make decision for me, talk to you later David, when you set your mind in place
Chrissy stands up and walks away with the tray in her hands, she walks arround a little until she finds Will and Dan, they are alone in a table
- hi- she says
- what's up girl?- Will answers
- not much, can I sit with you?
- sure- Daniel answers
- i think we should get a name for our band- Will suggests
- well we are kind of geeks... which means that we are not what society expects, it's like we are going against the current... so maybe we should be something like "Geek stand" or sort.
-Dan! you are a genius!- Chrissy says and Will stares at her
- really? Geek stand?
-I didnt meant that... Dan that one is a terrible idea, but you said AGAINST THE CURRENT
- i like it!
- me too
-I guess from now on we are "Against the Current" then .
