Johnny knew well enough the melodrama that tended to play itself out on Songbird's blogs. He knew all the facts about everything that had happened at the school since he'd gotten there last year. But none of that gossip stuff really mattered to him. He was all about the music. Completely dedicated to the beats in his head and trying to make his way around high school. He often felt everyone around him took high school so seriously sometimes.

When she started playing and singing, Johnny could only think of one thing. Drama. That was all this song was about. It was about drama. High school drama at that. He remained silent until she played the final chord and even after didn't say a word. He had to collect his thoughts.
Finally, with a sigh, he clasped his hands together and brought them up to his lips. "So... are you going to play a real song now?"
