Summer vacation is almost over and I have a summer band program a week before. I get ready on a Monday morning and go off to the band hall at school. I find all my best friends there waiting for me. We all talk and bond over summer vacation and I break the news I'm stuck in a camper until January due to a dumb tree destroying my house. Emma and Libby felt bad but we talked about music after that and then my current crush walks over *thinks to self* "He is so hot!" "Hey Leah, Libby, and Emma what ya up to!?!?"

It went decent considering I recognized the rhythm from band camp earlier this summer. We look at each other in small glances. It was kinda cute. I leave around 3 p.m. and go home to relax and talk to my best friends Emma and Libby. I go to bed kinda early so I can look good the next morning for my giant crush. I wake up to a hot sunny day and see my friends in the band hall. I also see my crush and smile. I later see get on the marching field and feel my body telling me that it wants sleep not exercise. I power through and nearly trip over Colin because he stands behind me and he goes to catch me when...
