Chapter 45: New Members of the Band

On the third day of school, the captain of the school's basketball team was beaten, and Xiao Yao's appearance at Xiqiao High School was a little too high-profile. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info At the same time, this is also not conducive to Xiao Yao's integration into the high school life of Xiqiao Middle School.

Students like Joey are similar to school bullies in school. Xiao Yao beat him, and many students actually applauded in their hearts, but because Xiao Yao's force was too strong, and he didn't know much about him from Huaxia, ordinary students didn't dare to approach him too much for a while.

But fortunately, Xiao Yao already has Dean, a partner with whom he has a good relationship, so he will not be alone in school.

Although it was Joey who provoked it first, but there was such a thing as a brawl openly, and the school had to deal with it accordingly after knowing it. Xiao Yao beat Joey in front of everyone in the dining area, and it quickly spread among the students, and it was naturally impossible for the school not to know, so Xiao Yao also needed to bear certain consequences.

Xiao Yao has always been very measured. Although Joey was finally taken to the school infirmary by two companions, except for skin trauma, there were no fractures, no internal bleeding, and no damage to internal organs, plus Joey did it first, so the punishment for Xiao Yao was not serious, but he was punished for three consecutive days.

The school also notified Xiao Yao's temporary parent, Mrs. Smith, of this incident, so in addition to being punished in the school, Xiao Yao was also punished at Smith's house. After Dean and Sarmien explained the details of the incident to Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Smith did not give Xiao Yao a more severe punishment, but only punished him with a three-day grounding. This kind of punishment is almost negligible for Xiao Yao, who doesn't like to go out at night. More than that, it just shows Mrs. Smith's attitude towards this matter.

As for the punishment of the school, compared to the punishment in the previous life, the punishment measure of reviewing the whole school is much gentler and more acceptable. Most of the students in Huaxia schools are teachers dragging the classroom or tutoring students with poor grades, while in the United States, most of them are a punishment for students who make mistakes, and there is little teaching content. Xiao Yao, who has watched a lot of American school detention scenes in American film and television dramas in his previous life, happens to have a lot of curiosity about the unique punishment method of American school retention, and originally wanted to experience it and feel it.

The fight incident did not have much impact on Xiao Yao, but for the Smith siblings, who were closer to Xiao Yao, the impact was relatively large, although the impact only occurred more than two months after the incident.

"Jan, at next week's school celebration, our band will perform live, haven't you always wanted to see our band perform live? After the last class of the morning, Dean said excitedly to Xiao Yao beside him as he walked out.

"Really? I'm looking forward to it. Xiao Yao smiled, "In the past two months, you have refused me to go to your band rehearsal several times, and I am very curious about your performance." ”

"That's to surprise you and show you how boring it is in advance. Besides, rehearsals don't look good in live performances. Dean also laughed.

The two of them twisted their heads as they walked, and soon left the classroom and came out into the hallway outside. But as soon as they got out of the corridor, they were blocked by several people. And the one who stood at the front of the few people who blocked them was the basketball captain Joey, who had been beaten by Xiao Yao.

Since being beaten by Xiao Yao, Joey has not come to trouble Xiao Yao for more than two months, and he rarely even appears in front of Xiao Yao. So for Joey's sudden appearance in the way, Dean and Xiao Yao both felt a little strange.

"Joey, what do you want to do? Do you want to fight again? Haven't you been beaten enough by Jan last time?" Dean asked, looking at Joey. With Xiao Yao by his side, Dean is not as nervous as he used to be in the face of Joey.

The anger on Joey's face flickered, and he clenched his fist but quickly let go. Raising his hands, Joey smiled and said, "Hey, don't make me so violent, I'm just passing by." As he spoke, Joey turned sideways, looking as if he was making way for Dean and Xiao Yao in the corridor, but in fact, he was revealing a person behind him.

"Nick, why are you here?" Dean looked at the man in front of him. Xiao Yao looked at the man, who was obviously also a student of this school, a little taller than himself, about a little more than a meter eight, a white boy with blonde curly hair and a thin body.

"Dean, I'm here to tell you that I'm quitting the band. The white boy named Nick said to Dean with some embarrassment.

"Why?" Dean froze, "You're the only guitarist in our band." And we'll have a show at the school celebration next week. ”

"Because Joey said that if I quit the band, he recommended me to the school's basketball team. Nick whispered, "You know, it's always been my dream to be on the school basketball team. ”

"But isn't it your dream to be a band?" Dean looked at Nick and said loudly, "Besides, what can you do when you are on the basketball team?"

"Wow, that's hurtful, but it seems to be true. Joey whistled and sneered.

"The band is just my dream, but the basketball team is not only my dream, but also my father's dream. He also graduated from Westbridge and used to be the main player of the basketball team here, but now I can't even sit on the bench of the basketball team, and I don't want him to be disappointed forever, at least give him some comfort. Nick continued to whisper, "I'm sorry. ”

"You're despicable!" Dean turned to glaring at Joey.

"What? want to fight?" Joey smiled at the angry Dean, "Last time, I was the first to find the Huaxia kid to fight alone, so I didn't ask anyone to help." If you want to go head-to-head with me, I'm with you. But if Huaxia Kid helps you, I won't stop my teammates. As he spoke, Joey looked at Xiao Yao defiantly.

With Joey, there are a total of four basketball teams standing in front of Dean. Dean felt that even if Nick didn't help each other in the conflict, he would be enough to deal with a basketball player. Although Xiao Yao is powerful, but let him be one-on-three or one-on-four, Dean can't guarantee that Xiao Yao can handle it. Last time, it was Joey who made the first move, but Xiao Yao just fought back and was punished for staying in court. If he made the first move on his side this time, not to mention that he could not beat it, the punishment of the school would definitely be more serious, and he didn't want to let Xiao Yao be punished even more because of himself.

Therefore, Dean suppressed his anger, looked back at Nick and said, "Nick, can't you think about it again?"

"I'm sorry. Nick said sorry again and turned away.

"I'm looking forward to your band's performance at the school celebration," Joey said with a smile as he walked up to Dean, "if your band still exists." ”

"Sammy will be upset if you do that. Dean looked at Joy and said.

"So what?" Joy shrugged, "Do you think she will still take a fancy to me after I lost face in front of her last time? There are many beautiful girls in the school, and your sister is not the only one." With that, Joey led his teammates away laughing.

Watching Joey leave, Dean quickly took out his phone and edited a message "Urgent, Nick is going to quit the band, everyone comes to the instrument room to meet and discuss how to deal with it." The text message was sent out to the other band members. After that, Dean pulled his leg and ran towards the instrument room.

Xiao Yao, who didn't say a word during the whole process, saw Dean send a text message and ran away, so he could only follow.

The band is in crisis and is almost finished, Dean no longer avoids Xiao Yao, and takes Xiao Yao all the way to the school's instrument room, which is where they rehearse during extracurricular activities.

It didn't take long for the bandmates George, Mike, and Sarmien to arrive, as well as three of Sarmyon's best friends, who were not members of the band.

Seeing that the band members arrived, Dean told everyone about what had just happened when Nick found himself and said that he was going to quit the band and why.

"It's too much, Joey is despicable. ”

"Nick is an idiot, knowing that he was being used by Joey to play the band, he really listened to Joey. ”

Before the band members could speak, several of Sarmyon's girlfriends, who had heard what had happened, were the first to denounce Joey and Nick.

"Nick has his reasons for doing this. George said, "Besides, in the whole band, Nick is not as good as the three of us, so it's understandable that he chose to give up the band at this time." ”

"Okay, don't talk about anyone else, let's think about what the band is going to do. It's the school celebration next week, and how can we do it without a guitarist?" Sarsion began.

"Of course, I had to find another guitarist to join the band. Dean said, "Do you know anyone else in the school who has a good guitar talk?"

"I know a few who can play guitar. "But I don't know how good they are." Even if they play as well as Nick, although I don't think that's likely. Even if he were willing to join, what would he be able to do with us in just one week? I don't want us to act like a disaster in front of everyone at the school celebration and become the laughing stock of the whole school. ”

"How do you know if you don't try?" Dean said without giving up, "Let's say the names of all the people we know who can play the guitar, and everyone will go separately to find them, and then everyone will step up rehearsals this week to try to catch up with the performance of the school's anniversary." We don't want to be great at the school celebration, as long as we can cope with the past and it's not a disaster. ”

"I knew Dante, who was in Year 11, could play guitar, but I didn't know if he would want to join the band, so I went to him and gave it a try. George said first.

"I know that the tenth grade Meier will, but this guy seems to have only learned guitar for a year, I'm afraid the level is not very good, I'll go to him and hear how he plays first. Mike also said.

"There must be people who can play the guitar in 12th grade, but I don't know, so I'll go and ask Jenna and them later. Samion continued.

"I know the guitar is the one who can play the guitar... It's Jan!" Dean saw that everyone had expressed their support for his proposal, so naturally he couldn't fall behind. But thinking of the candidate who can play the guitar, Dean suddenly remembered that Xiao Yao once said that he could play the guitar, and asked himself if the band was recruiting. Therefore, Xiao Yao's name blurted out of his mouth.

Seeing everyone looking at him in surprise, Dean slapped his head, "By the way, Jan? He just came with me." ”

Just when everyone was confused, a guitar suddenly sounded in the corner of the instrument room. Everyone followed the sound and saw Xiao Yao holding a plugged in electric guitar, his fingers playing skillfully and quickly on the guitar strings, and a dazzling guitar melody with a fast rhythm came out of the speaker.

After a cool guitar solo, Xiao Yao stopped and smiled at the crowd who were looking at him in amazement: "I heard that your band lacks guitarists?"

"Oh my God, I think it's a lot better than Nick. George patted McDonnell Dow beside him. Nick was the best guitar player they knew, otherwise they wouldn't have found someone they didn't know very well to join the band.

"You think, as long as you're not an idiot, you can hear it. Dean glanced at George, then walked up to Xiao Yao, gave Xiao Yao a big hug across the guitar, and said happily, "Welcome to join!" )
