Note: This is my first story on here. This story is kind of based on my
friends and my first yr of Marching band which since our school was so
small we had 8th graders too. I think most of the attitudes are exactly how
we do act. So I hope you enjoy it.
A girl with brown, shoulder length hair that cascaded down around her pale face, green eyes with a hint of blue, and thirteen years old stepped out of a car. Her name was Harmony.
Harmony walked into the park, and then looked around. She finally spotted who she was looking for, Devin, her boyfriend. He was eight and a half months older then her, with short hair that was dyed blonde. Some of the black could still be seen. He had brown eyes that matched the color of his skin. They had been dating for two months. Harmony started walking over to where Devin was sitting. He stood up when he saw her. When she finally reached him she kissed him.
"Hey Harmony." He said after she pulled away. "So what do you have planned for today? 'Cause I was thinking that we could maybe do some stuff." He winked at her.
She shook her head and replied, "I have my first practice for Marching Band in a hour. So I pretty much can't do anything."
"Aw. that sucks." He looked at her with a sad puppy face and then at his watch. "That's at the high school right?" She nodded. "Well I guess I'll walk you there. Sound cool?" She nodded again. They headed out of the park and then walked around to the main road of the small town. It really wasn't that far to the high school but they had nothing else to do. The two stopped at the Malt Shop to buy some ice cream. They sat in there eating and talking for a few minutes and then they headed on their way again.
When they were about a mile away from the school, Harmony spotted Chloe. Chloe was one of Harmony's friends. She played the flute like Harmony. Chloe was about two inches taller then Harmony, had a light complexion, strawberry blonde hair, and hazel colored eyes. "Hey Chloe!" screamed Harmony. Chloe looked behind her at the two. She ran up to them, her backpack bouncing behind her.
"Hi Harmony. Devin."
"Hi." The two replied. "Want to walk with us?" Harmony asked.
"Yeah, sure. Why not?" They continued their journey to the high school.
"Seriously Devin, you should join band and play the drums. You're good." Harmony said. Harmony was always trying to get Devin to join.
"No, I got football and stuff like that. I already fall behind in my classes just doing them."
Chloe had been silent the whole walk, and still walked on silently. When they finally arrived at the high school Chloe finally spoke. "Just think, after this coming year, we'll be going here." They all stopped in the driveway and looked at the high school. It wasn't anything all that great, but it was the last step of grade schools.
"Well I guess I better let you go." Devin said, before kissing Harmony.
"See you later Devin." Harmony said as he waved and walked away.
"I seriously do not like him." Chloe stated.
Harmony looked at Chloe, shocked at what she was hearing. "Why not? He's so nice, and hott. and the greatest guy."
Chloe had to explain why she didn't like him so she said, "I just think that he's trouble. And that he'll bring that trouble to you. You're my best friend Harmony and I don't want some preppy loser hurting you."
"I think you're wrong about him, and I appreciate you looking out for me, but this is a decision I am going to make on my own, and I love him. But you know what, we really need to get in there so. let's go."
Chloe looked at Harmony, and then taking a deep breath they opened the doors and walked into the band room. Harmony started to regret ever coming when she seen all the high schoolers. She started backing up towards the door, but Chloe grabbed her and pulled her deeper into the room. Harmony looked around and then whispered, "I really wish Devin would join band." Chloe shook her head and then walked up to one of the high schoolers. Harmony recognized him from the year before, his name was Calvin. He had black spikey hair, and wore dark baggy clothes. Calvin had always come to Jazz band last year. What made her kind of dislike him was that he had always got her section all hyper, so they would leave her doing all the work. She looked around. Many of the faces were new to her. Then she saw the group of eighth graders standing together. She walked over there, knowing that she would feel a lot more comfortable with her own age of people. Sydney greeted her and they started talking about what was probably expected for marching band.
Meanwhile Chloe was over talking to Calvin. He would say a few things here and there but not much. After 3 years she was "a still only friend" with him. She really wished he would ask her out. But he never did. Soon the director came in and told everyone to come out to the track. Chloe found Harmony and they walked out together. They stood there for a few minutes, getting organized, having all the first year marchers, or as the older kids called them newbies, stand over on one side and all the other people that had marched before on the other side so they could help the newbies. They all introduced themselves and then got started. Harmony looked over at the tall dark haired guy that was helping her. He was pretty cute. He introduced himself to her as Ethan. All thoughts of Devin were momentarily gone and she fell instantaneously in love with Ethan. She bounced back to reality as soon as she heard the director screaming though. So far marching wasn't too hard. But they were only learning the basics, like how to march and all that. After the practice Harmony reminded Chloe that she wasn't going to be at practice for the next two weeks, because she was going Up North. She then headed to her mom's car and got in.
