---
Three years had passed since Enoch's life-altering merge, and the once obscure "Decibel Devils" had skyrocketed to fame. The high school club's music echoed not only in the school halls but also throughout the very streets of their Seattle neighborhood. Acceptance into the second most popular band in the city solidified their rise to prominence.
Enoch, the vocal lead and the mastermind behind the club's success, had a magnetism that drew crowds to their shows. Despite joining the band as a gangly thirteen-year-old three years ago, his unique compositions and enthralling voice defied his age.
The "Decibel Devils" found themselves in uncharted territory. Three years ago, Enoch had been a lowly junior, but now he towered over the rest as their fearless leader. His impact on the club's success was undeniable, catapulting them from obscurity to the hallowed halls of Garfield High School's most sought-after acts. Aura of mystique and talent surrounding him, it was no surprise that every girl in school had a crush on the charming frontman.
Enoch, however, was cautious with his fame. Driven to maintain his vocal prowess, he limited his performances to once a month, leaving his growing fanbase eagerly anticipating his next show.
Meanwhile, the former leaders of the club, Jonas, Elena, Bryan, and Ryan, had long since graduated and moved on to college – though not in Seattle, much to their chagrin.
Their paths now stretched in different directions; some seniors venturing east coast for university, while others disappeared without a trace, destined for the great unknown.
As the club's lineup shifted, new members filled the void left by their departed seniors. Each brought their unique flair, infusing the "Decibel Devils" with fresh energy while honoring the legacy their predecessors had left behind.
As the "Decibel Devils" continued their rise to fame, their lineup evolved. Three years later, only Enoch, Angel, and Jason remained from the original members who had joined. Now, as seniors themselves, their impending graduation loomed mere days away.
Enoch had blossomed into a handsome young man. His sleek black hair still held its charming, messy style, but his features had matured, accentuating his rock style aura. Standing at 5'9", Enoch exuded a confidence that had once been foreign to the shy freshman he used to be.
The band's success had not gone unnoticed by the school administration, who recognized their potential and rewarded them with their very own practice room. It was here, in this haven of sound and creativity, that the "Decibel Devils" honed their craft and prepared for their upcoming shows.
Strumming his guitar absentmindedly, Enoch's raspy yet melodic voice filled the practice room. The door swung open, and in walked Angel, her 16-year-old frame exuding a wild, captivating aura, yet with an air of maturity that hadn't been there three years ago. Her once childish features now molded into a stunning visage, catching the attention of many, but her eyes only met Enoch's.
"Hey, Angel," he greeted her with a faint smile. Gone were the days of teasing and playful banter, replaced by a growing understanding between them. While others in the club speculated, no one knew the truth of their relationship.
As Angel closed the door behind her, the pair sat down side by side, their fingers intertwining without a word. Their connection was palpable, yet innocent in its own way. They were content to be in each other's presence, fingers entwined, as if the world around them melted away.
Their relationship had blossomed over the years, from bickering bandmates to something more. However, both Enoch and Angel had decided to take things at their own pace, treasuring the intimacy of simply being together. So far, a few stolen touches and blush-inducing glances were all they needed to fan the flames of their budding romance.
Angel's eyes glistened with unshed tears as she gently strummed the guitar strings, her melancholy evident in her voice. "Enoch, are you working on a song for our farewell performance?"
Angel's question hung in the air, tinged with a hint of melancholy. Enoch sighed in response, handing her the guitar. "Yeah, I've been working on something... It's hard to believe it's almost over, huh?"
Angel's warm smile met his gaze, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "It's because of you that we've come this far, you know."
Enoch chuckled, a touch of self-consciousness in his voice. "Come on, I can't take all the credit. The seniors won't be too happy if they hear you say that."
Angel joined him in his chuckle, but she raised a playful brow. "I bet they'd agree with me."
Enoch couldn't help but smirk at that, knowing she was probably right. He sighed, the weight of their impending graduation settling on his shoulders.
Angel sensed his mood and extended her hand, a reassuring smile on her face. "Hey, why don't we take one last tour around the school? You know, before we're officially alumni and all that?"
Enoch's face broke into a genuine grin, and he took her offered hand. "Yeah, why not?"
Hand in hand, Enoch and Angel ventured out of the practice room, their footsteps echoing down the now-empty halls. Angela couldn't help but reminisce aloud, "Can you believe it? Back then, I never thought we'd be walking like this, let alone be considered... good friends."
Enoch chuckled, the sound rumbling through his chest. "Yeah, who would've thought? I mean, I distinctly remember thinking you were a pretentious little girl who needed a spanking."
Angel's laughter was soft, but it carried a weight of shared memories. "Well, the feeling was mutual, you know. I thought you were an arrogant prick who needed a reality check."
Both of them laughed, the sound bouncing off the walls of their once-crowded school halls.
Angel's expression softened as she looked up at him. "Honestly, though, I never expected you to be such a talented artist. Your songs... they've become some of my favorites."
Enoch ducked his head, a blush creeping up his cheeks. "I'm honored to know that, Angel."
As Enoch and Angel strolled through the hallways, hand in hand, they couldn't help but notice the stares from their fellow students. A group of girls in particular couldn't hide their disappointment as they watched the pair walk by.
"Ugh, why does she have to be the one?" One girl said, pouting, as they watched the couple pass by.
Her friend glanced at her, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "You could've joined his club and stolen him away from Angel. I heard they're always looking for new members."
"Yeah, I tried that. They rejected me for having zero knowledge of rock songs and apparently, my singing voice scared away the entire music department." The first girl groaned, dramatically.
"Well, you could've learned some rock songs and practiced your voice." Her friend said, nonchalantly.
"Ugh, I don't know..." The upset girl mumbled, still unable to take her eyes off the backs of Enoch and Angel.
Meanwhile, the oblivious couple walked on, lost in their own world. Angel giggled as she pointed to a particular hallway. "Remember this hall? You ran down here after pranking Jonas and the others, and I couldn't help but laugh at your panicked face."
Enoch chuckled, "I'll never forget that. And it didn't help that your laughter only made them madder."
Angel grinned, "I couldn't help it! You looked so funny with your pants on your head, trying to evade them!"
Enoch laughed along with her, "Yeah, those were the days, huh?"
As Enoch and Angel continued their stroll, they bumped into Jason, who was still as chubby as ever, wearing a classic rock t-shirt and cargo pants. He was the one who had begged Enoch to help him join the club in the hopes of becoming famous, and while he might not be as popular as Enoch or Angel, he'd managed to attract a small group of admirers. Including his girlfriend, who waved shyly from a distance.
"Hey, Enoch, Angel. What's up?" Jason greeted them.
"Just reminiscing, you know, since we're graduating in a few days." Enoch said, nudging Jason playfully.
"Yeah, time flies. Well, I'll let you two lovebirds continue your stroll." Jason winked at them and walked away, leaving with a spring in his step.
Once he was out of earshot, Angel leaned in towards Enoch and whispered, "Can you believe it? That 'chubby' is still dating her?"
"Hey, watch your language," Enoch admonished, frowning. "You know, rumors can be either true or false."
Angel rolled her eyes but nodded. "I know, I know. You're right, of course."
Enoch sighed, "Just... don't listen too much to gossip, alright?"
"Fine, fine," Angel said, patting his arm. "Let's continue our walk down memory lane, shall we?"
Enoch smiled, "Sure, let's do that."
They reached the rooftop, their special spot where they shared so many memories. The wind was cool, rustling through their hair as they sat down, side by side, overlooking the school grounds. There was an air of melancholy in the air, but also a hint of hope for the future.
Angel hesitantly spoke up, "Enoch... I've been thinking... about us... and what's going to happen after we graduate..."
Enoch smiled sadly, "I... I kind of knew this was coming." He took her hand in his, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "You... you want to end things for the better, right?"
Angel's eyes welled up with tears, "I... I don't want to, Enoch, but..." She sniffed, biting her lip. "My parents... they've already made plans for me and... and we're moving to New York, for my studies."
Enoch listened with a heavy heart, but he knew he couldn't bear to see her suffer any more than she already was. "I understand. I know your parents only want what's best for you, and I could never hold you back from that."
Angel couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into sobs, her head resting on his shoulder as Enoch wrapped his arms around her, comforting her the best he could.
"Hey, hey," he soothed, stroking her hair. "It's going to be okay. We've shared so many great memories, Angel, and no matter where life takes us, those memories will always be with us. We'll always have them."
In the heat of the moment, Angel couldn't contain her emotions any longer. Before she could even process her actions, she had pulled Enoch into a deep kiss. Their lips met with a clumsy thud, their inexperience evident as they fumbled with each other's tongues, causing a mild clash of teeth. Both winced in pain but couldn't help but laugh it off, the tension momentarily broken.
Enoch chuckled, rubbing his jaw, "Well, I wasn't expecting that, Angel. What was that for?"
Angel blushed furiously, her cheeks matching the sunset before them. "I... I don't know, Enoch. I just... I couldn't help it. You've changed so much, and... and you're so... so..."
"Handsome and mature?" Enoch jokingly finished her sentence, a smirk on his lips.
Angel's face burned even brighter, "I-I mean... y-yes, that too."
Enoch's expression softened, his gaze holding hers. "You know, Angel, as much as I appreciate the sentiment, you shouldn't have done that. Your first kiss... it should be special, reserved for someone you're going to spend the rest of your life with."
"You know, one thing that caught me by surprise about you, Enoch," Angel started, her eyes shining with admiration, "is that despite producing those mature and even sexually explicit songs, I never expected you to be such a reserved and faithful person."
Enoch's cheeks flushed with a hint of bashfulness. "Well, I guess I've always wanted to find the right person, someone who's worth it. I want my first time to be with the girl who's going to be with me for the rest of my life, you know?"
Angel's heart skipped a beat, and her breath hitched. She stared at him intently, wondering if he could read her mind.
Angel looked at Enoch with a genuine smile, her heart thumping in her chest. Slowly, she leaned in and whispered in his ear, "So... do you want to... you know, before we part ways?"
Enoch raised an eyebrow. "Do what?"
Angel's face flushed a deep shade of crimson, but she swallowed her embarrassment and spat it out. "That... that thing." She lowered her gaze, unable to meet his eyes. "S-sex!" she blurted out, a stifled giggle escaping her lips.
Enoch was taken aback, but he quickly regained his composure. "Angel, we're still young. We can make better decisions when we're adults—"
"Better decisions when we're adults?" Angel chuckled, her laughter tinged with bitterness. "Do we even know if we'll see each other when we're adults?"
Enoch sighed, standing up. "Angel, it's not that. Even if we don't see each other when we're adults, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you can make better, less rushed decisions when you're older."
Angel frowned, and to Enoch's surprise, she stood up and grabbed his hand, placing it on her right breast. "Touch it! Am I not old enough?"
Enoch jerked his hand away, his cheeks burning with embarrassment. "Angel, what I'm talking about is that you'll be more mentally mature then. You wouldn't want to throw your body away by having sex with me!"
"I'm not throwing it away!" Angel retorted, her voice shaking with a mix of embarrassment and anger. She furrowed her brows, "Is it because you... you didn't love me?"
Enoch's face flushed a deep shade of red. "It's not because I don't love you, Angel..." he stuttered. "Over the years we've been together, I do love you..."
Angel's expression softened, but her frustration still showed in her eyes. "Then why don't you just agree!?"
Enoch took a deep breath, trying to find the right words. "Angel, it's not that simple. It's not about whether I love you or not. It's about respecting yourself and waiting for the right time. Can't you understand that?"
"Angel," Enoch said, his voice firm but gentle as he held both of her shoulders, "Love and sex are different matters, you know that." He looked her in the eyes, his own filled with sincerity. "I do love you, and that's why I respect you even more. I don't want you to do something you might regret later."
Angel's gaze flickered, but she didn't back down. "I won't regret it, as long as it's with you."
Enoch sighed. "I know you won't now, but once you start, it'll be a slippery slope. You might not even realize it, but you'll put less importance on it with other guys you might regret later."
Angel's frown deepened. "So, you're saying I'll turn into a slut?"
"No, that's not what I meant," Enoch said, shaking his head. "I'm just saying you should value your love for yourself and your body more. Save it for the guy you'll spend the rest of your life with."
Angel's cheeks flushed, but her determination didn't waver. "But when I kissed you, you didn't pull away. You even... you know..."
Enoch's face reddened, and he averted his gaze. "I know... I know I'm not one to talk, but that's exactly my point. I'm trying to do better by both of us."
Angel walked over to Enoch, her eyes locked with his. She stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around his neck, her lips finding his in a passionate kiss. "You want this, too," she whispered.
Enoch gasped, momentarily surprised by her boldness, but he didn't pull away. In fact, he found himself caressing her hair as they continued to kiss.
"There's no need to do it with me, Angel... As you said, we're not even sure if we'll see each other again in the future..."
"What if I made sure that we'll see each other again?" Angel said, her eyes sparkling with determination.
Before he could finish his sentence, Angel's lips found his once more, this time more forceful and intense. She grabbed the back of his head, pulling him closer as she pressed him against the door.
Even though part of him knew they should stop, he found himself giving in to the passion as well, his hands roaming over her curves, never wanting to let go. His lips traveled down her neck, and Angel moaned softly, her hands now against his crotch.
It was nearly impossible to think straight, but he forced himself to pull away, panting heavily. "We... we shouldn't do this..."
Angel caressed his cheek, and a sly smile tugged at her lips. "Do you prefer a more private setting? We can do it tomorrow noon, at my house. My parents will be gone for work, and we'll have the whole place to ourselves."
Enoch stared into her eyes, searching for any signs of doubt or hesitation. Her determination unwavering, he sighed. "If we're going to do this, I want you to know that I'll be yours and only yours in the future."
Angel's eyes widened, but the surprise quickly faded, replaced by a wide grin. "I've always wanted that." She whispered, her hands intertwined with his.

As Enoch entered Angel's house, they exchanged shy glances, the memories of their previous encounter still fresh in their minds. They made their way to Angel's bedroom, the tension palpable in the air.
Slowly, as if in a trance, they began undressing each other. Angel's hands trembled slightly as she unbuttoned Enoch's shirt, revealing his toned chest underneath. He shivered as her fingers grazed his skin, sending shivers down his spine.
Enoch's hands shook as he fumbled with the clasp of Angel's dress, finally freeing it. Her creamy white skin and full breasts greeted him, his eyes widening in awe. He cupped one of her breasts gently, eliciting a soft moan from Angel.
They continued exploring each other's bodies, their kisses growing more urgent, their touches bolder. Angel's hand drifted down to Enoch's erection, stroking him through his boxers, causing him to groan.
Enoch, unable to take it any longer, positioned himself at Angel's entrance, his tip teasing her entrance. He kissed her neck, nibbling on her earlobe, eliciting a shudder from her. "Are you sure?" he whispered, seeking one last confirmation.
"Yes," Angel breathed, her eyes filled with determination.
Angel's cheeks flushed a deep crimson as she looked into Enoch's eyes. "This... this is it," she said, her voice trembling with anticipation and nerves. "Please, do it."
Enoch's eyes flickered downwards to Angel's wet, inviting pussy, and his own cock twitched in response. "O-okay," he stuttered, his voice unsteady. "Here I go."
He positioned himself at her entrance and slowly started to push inside, her slick warmth enveloping him like a tight glove. Angel gasped, her eyes squeezing shut, as he teased her, coaxing more wetness to ease the way.
Enoch entered her only an inch before she winced in pain, and he froze. "Are you okay?"
Angel panted, "I- I think so. Just... just go slow, okay?"
Enoch nodded, sweat beading on his brow as he continued to push inside her, centimeter by torturous centimeter. Angel's nails dug into the sheets as he slowly but surely worked his way in.
"I- I think it's fine now," she breathed, "you can move!"
"B-but I'm not all the way in yet," Enoch said, his voice strained.
Angel's face flushed even redder, "Then... then just do it!"
With one swift thrust, Enoch buried himself completely inside her, his hips flush against hers. Angel's body tensed, her back arching off the bed as a soft cry escaped her lips. Enoch froze, panic welling inside him.
"Did I hurt you?"
Angel whimpered, her body still tensing around Enoch's cock. "N-no, I'm… I'm fine," she breathed, her nails digging into the sheets. "It just… it just… ah!"
Enoch's heart pounded in his chest as he tried to control his breathing. "Are you sure? We can stop if you want."
Angel shook her head, her eyes watering. "N-no, it's fine. I-I… I w-want this."
Enoch's heart swelled with love and admiration for her bravery. He gently began to move, withdrawing an inch or two at a time before pushing back in, trying his best to be as gentle as possible. With each thrust, Angel's moans changed from pain to pleasure, and her grip on the sheets loosened.
Soon, with Angel's permission, Enoch picked up the pace, his hips slapping against hers as their bodies moved as one. "Ah, ah!" Angel moaned, her eyes widening in surprise as the pain she had felt earlier melted away, replaced by a growing pleasure that consumed her.
Enoch couldn't believe the change in her either. He was lost in the moment, his own pleasure mounting with each thrust. He lowered his head, capturing Angel's lips in a heated kiss as they continued their passionate dance.
Time seemed to stand still for them, hours melting away as they explored each other's bodies, discovering secret places and hidden desires. They were lost in a world of their own, oblivious to the passing of time or the outside world.
Two hours later, their breathless and spent, they lay entwined together, their bodies slick with sweat and their hearts pounding in their chests.
"I can't believe we... we...," Angel trailed off, her cheeks flushed a deep crimson.
Enoch chuckled, running a finger down her flushed cheek. "Neither can I. But I wouldn't change it for anything."
Angel smiled, her eyes shining with love and contentment. "Neither would I."
As they lay entwined together, their breaths still ragged, the scent of sex and the metallic tang of blood lingered in the air. Angel's unease returned as she became aware of the mess they'd made, but Enoch only drew her closer, his arms tightening around her.

A few days whizzed past like the wind, and before they knew it, graduation day had finally arrived. The auditorium buzzed with excitement as students, their families, and teachers filed in, taking their seats. Enoch's heart pounded in his chest as he scanned the crowd, his gaze landing on his mother and his uncle Johnny, who both beamed with pride.
As each student's name was called, they made their way to the stage to rapturous applause and cries of congratulations.
When it was finally Enoch's turn, the cheer from the audience was deafening, especially from the throng of girls who had been captivated by his confidence and talent. He smiled, accepting his diploma and the special recognition for Extracurricular Achievements.
Enoch took the microphone, usually a time for a long, drawn-out speech, but he had something else in mind. "You know what, I'm not really good at speeches," he chuckled, eliciting a chorus of good-natured laughter. "So instead, how about I sing you all a song?"
The crowd went wild, their cheers drowning out everything else. Even the school staff and teachers, and the usually stoic school administration, couldn't help but join in the excitement.
Enoch grabbed his guitar, which he had strategically placed on the side of the stage, and sat down on a chair, strumming the strings as he looked out at the sea of faces before him. His old bandmates, Jason and his girlfriend, exchanged glances, while Angel watched on with pride.
Enoch closed his eyes for a moment, before opening them and beginning to sing: "Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road," he sang, capturing the attention of every person in the auditorium. "Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go. So make the best of this test, and don't ask why. It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time."
The lyrics of the unfamiliar song resonated with the graduating class, the melody both nostalgic and hopeful. Enoch's voice, rich and soulful, soared through the auditorium, each note effortlessly flowing into the next. His fingers danced along the guitar strings, weaving a tapestry of sound that enraptured the audience.
Enoch continued strumming his guitar as he sang the next verse, the lyrics resonating with every fiber of his being: "It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right. I hope you had the time of your life." The audience hung on every word, the melody tugging at their heartstrings. His mother, Emma, and his uncle, Johnny, couldn't help but feel the swell of pride within them as they watched their talented nephew and son take the stage.
As the chorus began to build, the crowd joined in once more: "So take the photographs and still frames in your mind, hang it on a shelf in good health and good time. Tattoos of memories, and dead skin on trial. For what it's worth, it was worth all the while." Tissues were pulled out and noses were dabbed, the bittersweet lyrics evoking a kaleidoscope of emotions.
Jason, seated in the audience, couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat as he looked at his girlfriend, Lily. Tears welled up in his eyes, but Lily was there to wipe them away, her own eyes glistening with unshed tears.
The chorus echoed through the auditorium once more: "It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right. I hope you had the time of your life." Enoch strummed the guitar with utmost sincerity, his fingers flying across the strings as if they were an extension of his very soul.
"It's something unpredictable. But in the end, it's right. I hope you had the time of your life."
As Enoch strummed the final chords of the unforgettable song, the auditorium erupted in thunderous applause.
The entire graduating class was on their feet, clapping and cheering, some dabbing at their eyes with tissues, others wiping away tears with the backs of their hands. Principal Robinson, usually stoic, was no exception as he dabbed at his own moist eyes with a handkerchief.
Enoch's heart swelled with gratitude and love as he soaked in the overwhelming response.
