Chapter 1: Panic at the parade!
8:00 am Saturday 14th, Pioneer Days.
"Bugga bugga bugga." Cam(15) said as he paced his room in his navy blue dress pants and white button up shirt."Am I forgetting anything? OI! Half-heart necklace." Cam said and grabbed it from his dresser and put it on."Half-heart necklace, check, pocket watch." Cam grabbed his gold pocket watch."Check. Wallet, Check." Cam was getting ready for the parade he had to march in for he is in the NHS marching "miner" band. As is his girlfriend Ia(15) and best friend Zac(15)."Why are you awake at 8:00 in the morning? The parade isn't until 10:30. I know I'm just nervous. Well you better bloody well stop being nervous or I'll kick you in the kidneys until they either explode out of your back, or they come out the next time ya pee." Cam was having an inner war with himself for what seemed like forever until he heard a knock at the door. He jumped and quickly walked towards the door and opened it. At the door was his mum.
"Oh, You're already up?" She asked
"Yes mum." Cam replied
"Get... oh you're ready?"
"Yes mum."
"It's almost time to go." Cam reached into his pocket and pulled out his watch. He opened it and saw that it was 9:50. He snapped it closed and grabbed his trumpet case.
"I'll be out in the car." he said and left for the door.
B-L-A-H
Cam showed up outside the middle school. He looked up to the band room window and sighed. He grabbed his trumpet case and slammed the car door. He walked in and climbed the almost neverending staircase that he didn't miss at all. He reached the top and was greeted by a familiar voice.
"'Bout time you showed up." Cam turned to see Zac standing in the corner next to the band room.
"Tsk. 'Least I showed up." Cam said as he walked in and set his trumpet case down next to the drum rack.
"Mr.Pirhonen. You need your golden accent."Cam turned to see Mr. A
"Oh right. Cam walked over to the table and grabbed a golden ribbon.
"Umm that's for the girls." Mr. A said
"Oh..." Cam said and put it back
"Try the box next to it."
"Gotcha." Cam said with a laugh and grabbed an index card with a triangular gold cloth on the top. He put it in his front shirt pocket and walked back towards Zac who was laughing his ass off."Shut up." Cam and Zac then continued to chat about their summer. What's going to happen. What's happened already. Where they went, what they've seen. Then Cam saw his dearly beloved Ia out of the corner of his eye."Hey Ia Swan!" Cam said interrupting Zac's Boba Fett robot chicken impression. She got up to the top of the stairs when Cam noticed she was wet and shivering. Without saying anything Cam walked over and hugged her hoping to make her warm yet again.
"Alright, it's crunch time. Let's get ready shall we?" Mr. A said to the three.
"Yes sir." they said and walked in the band room.
O-U-T-S-I-D-E
Cam stood outside in the cold weather next to senior Nick Benaglio. He could see Zac standing two rows in front of him. Ia was god knows where behind Cam.
"Alright. We're up." Mr. A said when their turn came."And...go." he said and the drum line began the cadence.
B-L-A-C-K-P-A-R-A-D-E
By the time Cam got close to the middle school he couldn't play anymore. Then a big gust of wind blew through the street and knocked over a light pole by the methodist church and fell in Cam's direction.
"CAM LOOK OUT!!" Ia yelled. Cam turned. The light pole missed him by a fraction of an inch.
"Whoa!!" Cam yelled seeing the downed light pole a fraction of an inch away from him."That was close." Cam said. Then a random drunk guy ran up and hit him in the head with a golf club. He fell and the last image he saw before blacking out was that of the random drunk guy being beat up by some cops.
Yes. I started over. It was crappy and I'm gonna see what I can do with this one.
