Doing band related stuff brought the 5 of them together. There was a group of people that could be considered groupies in the school. People loved music. People also like to ogle hot and talented people. Most were because of the entrancing power of Noah's Lock. It was no wonder that most of the band's fanbase consisted of girls. The more partners Noah had, the more fans of Chemistry Sux there were. The girls were totally obsessed with him and what he was doing. Evan and Zayn could pull in some chicks as well. They were both handsome as well. Some of the band's songs were "Carbon", "Hydrolysis", "Oxidation", "Accelerant", "Catalysis" and "Hydration". It was a pop punk rock band and they all wore street clothes. Noah lifted up the guitar and flipped it over on the back to look at it. "I've missed you so much." he said to his guitar happily before bringing it close to his chest. Zayne gave a laugh and said "Chelsea was great, but it's been over a year. Let's be the best band the school's ever seen." It made Noah look at him and nod. "We are way better than the others were." he agreed.
Evan got them focused and they started jamming together. Clubs were not meeting during the first week. That was not going to stop Noah and the rest of Chemistry Sux from enjoying themselves. It brought in a large crowd that stayed in the hallway to listen. The other members of the Music Club came in and played around as well. The other club members had bands of their own as well. Sometimes the bands collaborated for a school event or a party hosted by someone at school. Chelsea was a very common feature of most bands in her time. Eventually, the club advisor came to tell them they had to leave. There was still time for one more song. There were some whines and boos from the students, but the teacher did not budge. Noah and the others got the last song going and were rewarded with lots of cheers. Afterwards, Noah got ready to go home for the day. He put the prized guitar on the rack gently and then turned to say goodbye before getting his things. Several girls came to him and asked to talk to him. He spoke to them as he opened his locker and reached for stuff.
Feeling confident, he closed his locker and said goodbye to everyone. This was met with jeers from the bullies of the school. They had learned about Noah's Lock from a member of the rumor mill that followed him from middle school. At the point that they learned this, he was already taller, stronger and more well trained than the bullies would normally target. Due to this, he got a pass from their physical abuse. Teasing and name calling was a thing they could do. At first, they called him "Locker Boy" just because he played rock music. Since he had become pretty popular and sexually active, most people did not pay him any attention. In fact, other people in the school said that he might be a Key instead. The stronger of the bullies still came over from time to time to rudely proposition him for sex or grope him anyway. Noah would take it as the insult it was. He moved away from the situation firmly each time. "I don't want to fight but, if you don't let me leave, you will get one." he said, tightly grasping a bully's wrist one time. That usually deescalated most of all the tensions that came up.
