~•~(Julia's POV)~•~
After first block I was called to the counselor's office so she could give me an copy of the student handbook and just discuss basic rules. Sure, it was really boring but at least I didn't have to see Lisandro. After that little chat, she told me my locker was ready so I grabbed my backpack and started walking out of the office. Unfortunately Mr. Hamilton just so happened to be sweating- I mean sitting on the office table and he smiled at me. I think I smiled back, but it was probably more of a cringe.

At lunch I was about to eat alone again, but Abby beckoned me over to the "Band Geek" table, which is where I belonged I guess. The table consisted of Abby, Brian, Lisandro, Karissa, Nadya and some other people who played various instruments. Some of the more noticeable ones were Shelby, a girl with a lot of energy and red hair who played French Horn, and Danny, a boy constantly making bad puns who played trombone. They all seemed rather close, I almost feel bad for being here. Suddenly, Abby poked my shoulder. "Whatcha thinking about?" I hadn't noticed but now like half the table was looking at me. Karissa smirked. "Probably snare drum." Lisandro scoffed at the prediction. "Well, we all know who the best is." "Yeah, Julia." Karissa argued again. Then, she whispered something to Lisandro and he froze up. 'I wonder what she said...'

Karissa leaned in and whispered, "Besides, that incident the other day was pretty amusing." My blood ran cold. 'How did she know? Especially since that was in the boy's locker room!' she suddenly laughed a little and whispered, "Yeah, great job breaking your xylophone mallet for the millionth time." I let out a little sigh of relief. 'Oh, that's right, I did break one. Oh well, I still have like five more pairs.'
And so, lunch went on. Julia seemed pretty nervous the whole time. 'She's actually pretty cute-'I choked on my food as I realized what I just thought. Nadya rolled her eyes as I sat there coughing up pizza. "Yeah, real smooth there Lisandro."
~•~(Julia's POV)~•~
After school I got lost in thought and as a result, got lost in the school. Following my typical strategy, I just ran and ended up in front of the band hall! (Once again, don't ask me how) however, by then there were only a few people there. But, when I passed by the percussion instruments storage room thingy, I heard... Laughter? Activating my ninja skills, I slightly peered in through the door's window. What I saw, was Lisandro cuddling a girl, shorter than me, with brown hair, who was wearing his leather jacket. They took a selfie together and laughed again. 'Oh.' as I walked away, I just thought about life. 'Of course he has a girlfriend. I feel so dumb now. I mean, it's not like I was full blown crushing on him, it's just that I thought there could have been something just a little special between us.' suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder. Turning around, I realized it was the girl. "Hi," she began. "I don't think I've seen you before. I'm Tori, nice to meet you...?" "Julia. And it's nice to meet you too." she smiled, waved, and left.
'Oh.'
