In the midst of going to gigs and trying to get their band recognition, all five members must deal with their own struggles. Sasha drives herself crazy obsessing over the band, trying to forge her way out of anonymity, as well as trying to straighten out her feelings for a girl she met at a gig.   Molly Sue tries hard to be the bad girl, drinking too much, partying too  much, and having sex with girls she barely knows. But being the tough one isn't always fun and games.    Maddie struggles with a secret crush on her best friend, Molly Sue. Meanwhile, her parents drop a life-changeing bombshell on her head when she needs it least.   Quint struggles to deal with his neurotic boyfriend, Jake, and Jake's refusal to admit their relationship to his family. He tries to be happy enough for the both of them, but he's beginning to realize just how hard it is to be someone's reason for living.    Jake insecure, closeted, and afraid, tries to please everyone, but he knows he is failing. It's only a matter of time before his parents find out about his double life and his world comes crashing down on his head.   They are kids just trying to live their dreams, but they will soon find out just how far in over their heads they are, and just how much their friendships will mean in the face of utter disaster.

Meanwhile, she also has to try to straighten out her feelings for a girl she meets at a gig.   Molly Sue Wong is the band bad girl. She drinks, too much, parties too much, and has sex with girls she barely knows. But being the band bad girl isn’t always fun and games.   Maddie White struggles with her five-year crush on her best friend, Molly Sue, as well as with her feelings of being left behind by her friends. And to make things worse, her parents drop a life-changing surprise on her right when she needs it least.   Quint Levine loves his boyfriend of three years, Jake, but things aren’t as good as they may seem. As Jake hides their relationship from nearly everyone, Quint struggles to remain the strong one in what is becoming a very complicated relationship.   Jake Parker, neurotic, scared, and in the closet, is so passionate for his music, it borders on obsession. He tries hard to please everyone, but balancing bullies in private school, strict parents, and a demanding band isn’t easy, and he knows it’s only a matter of time before his entire life comes crashing down on his head.   They’re just a bunch of kids trying to follow their dreams, but they’re about to find out just how far in over their heads they are, and how much they’ll need each other when utter disaster strikes.

I think thats a good idea to have a theme. We just have to remember to be open to how people interprate the theme that is chosen. Or perhaps it should just be a guidline?

Toast is better than what i had, which was nothing.... ok i can't help not eating, i usually don't feel hungry most of the time, I HAD MEAT BALLS FOR luNCH!!! XD

If anyone's reading this,I'm new to the group and wanted to introduce myself.I'm Emily.

It sounds like a great idea. You have a great dream and I'm glad I can be apart of it!

I agree. I haven't been bullied on here yet, but there should be no bullying AT ALL!
This is a writing website when we read people's work and review. If you don't like the writing or the person, JUST DON'T MESSAGE OR GIVE A REALLY MEAN REVIEW!
And if it does happen, just block the person.
I hope it doesn't happen to me or anyone else . . .

sounds interesting. thanks for the invite. i've enered existing writes in contests before- if i think i've a poem that fits the bill- but i have written for a couple too. if i'm unsure i'll leave a poem on my page, get feed back and work on it a bit b4 i enter. i don't always have time to write so i hope you're not expecting anything too regular from us. i am looking forward to getting stuck in. just wondering- when writing rules for contests- could "new poem" be one of them? some of the contest blurb asks for definitive or favourite writes- that would have to include old stuff - i can see how the confusion arises then, when searching the many contests held here. OK,  gonna take a proper look, get on with my day- and see if i've a poem by this evening. cheers :)

I have to say it's like a blank canvas, you will learn to repeat mistakes other's have and make it right by your own standards love, good luck with it all. Oh, it's Brendan Behan, a war reviewer in Ireland.
