Chapter Text

Cole waits nervously that everyone leaves the room. Once everyone left the theacher closes the door and turns back at cole.

- So Cole... did you ever play drums before?

-No, not really.

He admits.

- It was obvious whit how you played

- Ah... so it's bad i imagine.

- It's not bad...it's just not the same level as most of the students in this class. Since it's your first year here i won't be too severe, but i'd like you to come during lunch time a few times to practice and to get you on level whit the others. Or is there any instruments you play more often that you play better with?

- No.

Cole immidently answers. It's a lie, his father gave him piano lessons a few years before his mother passing, then after he totally stopped playing.

- Didn't you tell me you knew piano?

Cole doesn't answer. The teacher seems to notice but doesn't push.

- Okay, then i'll let you think about the lunch proposition. You can go.

- Thank you miss.

- Just call me Koko.

Cole nods then exit the classroom. He puts his headphones on, to block out the sound of the people in the hallways. He gets lost in toughts when he accidently bumps into someone. He looks up, it's the girl whit the pink tips. God she's everywere he goes. Cole turn his headphones off and helps her pick her papers.

- I'm sory i wasn't looking were i was going.

- Oh it's totally fine im no better.

The girl answers as she tries to pick up the papers she was carring. Cole takes the last one. Curious he looks at the paper. He can see theres music notes and lyrics written on it.

- Your writting a song?

- Yeah. I'd like to be singer someday, that's why i begged my parents to let me come here.

Cole scoffs.

- What? Are you mocking me?

- Not at all, i'm sorry. just find it funny that you begged your parents to go here when i would've prefered to not come here.

- Why did you change school if you don't want to be here?

- My dad makes music and wanted me to do that too.

- Oh... i love music so id understand why he would want to transfer his love for it, but to force you to du some... that sucks man.

- Yeah...

A moment of silence pass and Cole hands her back her paper.

- Were in the samemusic class right?

Cole nods.

- I'm Cole.

- I'm Sally.

- Nice to meet you. See you around then?

She nods and give him a big smile.

- Sure thing!

Cole goes back to turn the corner his dorm and freezes halfway. Wait... did he just make an actual friend?

- WAIT!!

-Yes?

-Uuhh, no never mind.

He seems to realize how desperate he would sound if he asked if he could eat whit her tomorow and if they were actually friends so he changes his mind on asking.

- Okay, well anyways see you tomorow. I'm usually near the benches outside if you ever look for me.

Cole nods then smile when she gets out of sight, he actually made a friend!

Notes:

So this chapter is a bit shorter since i basicly just wanted to finish what happend in the previous one and wanted Cole to meet Sally, but the next will be be the same numbers of words aproximate as the rest. See you soon in the next part! And also i know Sally is supposed to have fully pink hair, but it's only the tips thats colored for now, i have an idea and i'll make them fully pink later guys, trust. (it's literally the chapter im most exited of writing. I keep talking abt it to my best friend)

Notes:

Thats all for the first chapther! I'll try puplishig at an even rytthm but i have a lots of ideas and a bad motivation, i hope i won't give up this fic, i love my ideas for the next chapters.

They will probaly be swearing,teenage love (coleXkai), father/son issues, finding of self and grief. I'll include other characters later, maybe add hastags. Also cole will meet the ninjas in different sitations, its my fic and an au, i can modify how i want.

ALSO

the school system, dates vacation and how it works and ect is based of my contry (canada/quebec) and my school experience. english isnt my first language and its my first time using AO3, so please be indulgent. If you see mistakes don't hesitate to correct me. If you liked the fic please interact whit it, so i know people like it and it's worth the effort of keeping writting

See you next chapter BYEEE<3
