Scene 12: “Masquerade”

At lunch, when her make-up test for biology from last Wednesday was done, there were only a couple of minutes left before her next class, but she found Hudson, Brinn, and Clyde sitting at their usual picnic table under the outcast tree. Oakley hadn’t seen or talked to Brinn since Brinn’s big a-ha moment in the shoe store. A tremor of worry made Oakley clench her stomach as she approached. But Hudson had Clyde’s guitar, and there were also a bunch of other people, almost all female, milling around Hudson.

Hearts were obviously aflutter.

“Now, when you go for the chord change, if you slide your fingers, you get this sound.” Hudson was doing a demo, and girls from the freshman and sophomore classes hovered around him. “See?”

They ahhed in unison. Oakley choked down an involuntary gagging sound. Girls really did go crazy for Girl Crazy. It had a lot less to do with the songs he’d sung on stage two decades to ago and a lot more to do with the irresistible magnetism of Hudson Oaks.

He could rule the world in this day and age of instant transmission of music and words and charm everywhere.

“Hi there.”

He looked up and saw Oakley, and he jumped to his feet. “How was the test?” Before she could answer he turned to the girls. “Guitar lesson’s over.” A collective moan of disappointment rose from the female part of the crowd, and they dispersed.

“Fine. I mean, terrible, but I guess I could study harder.” She’d gotten a C-minus. Now she really had to show up at Board & Brush because her grades were definitely not on track for a scholarship. I really need to win TNRS. If only for the prize money to pay for college.

“That’s crazy!” Clyde chimed in, coming over by them.

“Hey, I’m working on passing biology, dude.” Oakley kicked the toe of his shoe with one of her new boots that Brinn had dropped off while Oakley and Hudson had gone to the Gorge on Sunday afternoon. “Give me a break.”

“No, I’m talking about the chord progression Pete just showed me. Great boots, by the way. My girlfriend has good taste in choosing them for you.”

“Thanks.” They really ought to tell Clyde that Hudson’s name wasn’t actually Pete Townsend. “You’re right. Your girlfriend is cool.”

“But back to the song Pete was playing—it’s exactly like this song I found done by that one band Girl Crazy.”

“Girl Crazy, huh?” Hudson said. He shot Oakley a look—not of alarm. More like of fifty cop-car sirens. “How’d you find it again?”

Oakley did her best to keep her face a mask of nonchalance. She’d never paid much attention to Clyde’s music obsession trivia fests before. But now, it felt like life depended on it.

“Yeah? Where’d you dig up something like that?” Hudson’s voice sounded strained, and Oakley shot him a look.

“In an archive on the deep web.” Clyde shrugged and chomped on some Doritos.

“The deep web? What’s that, websites run by the mafia?” Oakley laughed it off, but she was probably not convincing anyone, even herself.
