The beat of my heart.

[Sapphire]

Sapphire skipped down the many stairs leading to the band room with her notes in hand. She had finished all her homework. She didn't feel like hunting down her friends and she could use some serious rocking out time. As she reached the room she threw opened the door.

"Band Teach! Using your drums!" She screamed and he waved his hand from his office quite used to her barging in like that since she had been doing it for the 3 years she had been attending that school.

Sitting on the stool she threw her notes on to a near by chair before pulling out her bright orange drum sticks. And with out a moments notice she was rocking out on the drums creating the perfect beat of a song. Her eyes closed as she played all the notes in her head.

Andy had a meeting with the band teacher, talking to him about possible paths for him for next year. The suggestion was to either get a job with a record label or go to college, and study to become a music teacher himself.

Lysander wasn't the best with kids. He had always wanted to start a band, in actuality, and it was sort of depressing that it couldn't even be considered an option.

Just as his meeting was wrapping up, someone came into the room, and the teacher waved his hand at her. murmuring a quick thank you and hurrying out of the office as the girl started playing, watching her as she punched out a serious beat.

With Lysander on guitar and vocals, Sam on bass... who was this girl?

Grabbing his guitar, he sat down next to the drum kit, plugging in to the amp near the back and beginning to play along with her, curious as to her reaction.

[Sapphire]

Sapphire didn't stop playing when she noticed the boy start playing next to her. Smiling at the way it sounded she continued to hit the drum to the perfect rhythm. Her head bobbing to the beat.

As she ended the song she sighed sitting back and grabbed her notebook and began to write it down. "Your really good."She commented to the boy who had started to write down the drum notes as she went over the notes in her head.

Biting down on her lip ring she reached out tapping the drum making sure she had the notes just right. "How long have you been playing?"She asked curiously when she was finished.

[lysander]

Lysander looked up as the girl started to speak, smiling slightly, "Since I was about eight," He informed, nodding his thanks at her compliment, "How long have you been playing? You're brilliant, you know."

He thought to ask whether or not she was in a band other than the school's, but he didn't ask yet, much too shy. Instead, he unplugged and began playing softly, just playing notes, putting them together as they came, "I'm Lysander. Most call me Andy, though, so... whatever you'd be more comfortable with, I guess, is fine with me."

[Sapphire]

Sapphire smiled with a nod of her head. "About...2 or 3 years."She admitted. Yea it hadn't been long but she had taken to it like a pig to mud. Enjoying the music she could make and how she was in control of the songs that she composed. Pressing her pen to her chin lightly.

"I'm Sapphire."She told him with a smile. "Sapphie is cool too. I think...I will go with Andy...Though Lysander is a pretty dank name."She told him honestly with a nod of her head. Picking up her drum stick once more playing a gentle beat to go along with his strumming.

[lysander]

"Thanks," Andy responded, somewhat unsure about the word 'dank' and what it meant, but not asking, for fear of sounding like an idiot. He nodded along with their softer playing, humming along, then looked at her again, "Are you... you know, spoken for?" He asked, smiling in what he hoped to be an inviting way, not wanting her to think that he was as intensely creepy as he was beginning to feel. Why couldn't he keep his col around pretty girls? He was a complete freak show when girls even looked in his direction, and it was getting old, fast.

[Sapphire]

Sapphire smiled slightly. "No problem."She told him with a nod of her head. Stopping for a moment when he asked if she was spoken for. "Nope I am not."She told him smiling up at him. "Haven't seemed to find anyone worth sticking around with you know?"She asked as she moved her drumsticks lightly over the drums. Her head nodding to the sound of the music. Keeping the beat light and simple. She didn't notice his nerves but either way she was alright with the question. She got it all the time. And then they tried to have sex with her. Which never happened. Keeping her virginity for someone worth her time.
