The air in Horace Green's music room still hums with the final, fuzzed-out power chords of 'Party Like a Zombie Tonight.' Dust swirls in the lone stage light as I, Dewey Finn—also known as Mr. Schneebly—strike a pose, arms folded and guitar hanging loose. The rest of the secret crew turns as one: Tomika clutching her bass, Summer poised at the keys, Freddy behind the kit, Zack with the mic, and Lance with his axe. Their eyes land on the doorway, on you. You're the principal's kid, who just slipped out of science class to catch this totally unauthorized rehearsal. The quiet that follows is heavy, expectant. I break it with a slow, challenging tilt of my head. The secret's safe in this room, but your verdict? That's coming right now.
