Isaac the talented, shy, and well driven center snare at his high school spends his time with his school work and drums. Lore-Anna nick named Laura the rebellious and beautiful guard girl pays a visit to California. Her parents forced her to stay with her aunt and uncle for being too rebellious at school. Her parents told her that they will only bring her back only after she has learned to be obedient.

A month before school , she's packed up and ready to head over to California. She gives Norie; Laura's best friend, a hug goodbye and leaves off. She reaches the Bay Area where she is picked up by her Auntie Pearl and Uncle Mike. She's never been to California before and so decided to check out the place. She saw that the school she registered to has a marching band and has talked to the band director about it.

Two weeks later at the first week of band camp. Isaac's and Laura's junior year, they run into each other while learning some drill including one other guy on the drumline. Not really paying attention to the other guy, Laura tries to help Isaac up. But Isaac not thinking much of it says sorry and continues his set. Laura on the other hand is determined to get his attention during the marching season.

Chapter 1: "And then what happened?!"

After the first week of band camp, Laura finally comes home from the last 12 hour practice for that week. She lays her stuff on her aunt and uncle's living room floor and drags herself up stairs. She's knocked out and face down on her bed and is thinking of taking a nap. But she then sighs knowing that she just left her phone down stairs. No one being home she runs down stairs checking out her missed calls.

"Norie, Jake, and Peanut" she says out to herself as she reads through her missed calls list. While she drops to the floor, she gazes at the ceiling. She then replays Isaac's mistake during drill that day. She says to herself "Damn, if I only asked for his name"

BEEP
Her phone vibrated

"New text from Norie"
Norie being Laura's best friend back home in Hawaii has to know everything that goes on with Laura. Norie and Laura were both captains to her school's Color Guard. Recently she has sent 341 text messages in the last week. She has asked if she has found any movie stars, what's the weather like, if the boys are cuter there than in Hawaii. Laura being lazy hasn't sent any text messages back to her until today.

"So!! AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED?" which had read on Laura's screen for about 5 minutes already.
"Well.. during drill he just bumped into me n that was about it." Laura sent the message and continued looking at her ceiling.

BEEP
"OMFG!! DID HE LIKE TELL YOU HIS NAME? IS HE UGLY?! I MEAN I KNOW HOW YOU R WITH GEEKS!"
Truth be told she loves Asian geeks and cute Filipino boys. She didn't know why she just did.

"He's an Asian geek, sorry love"



Laura runs into the kitchen and checks that there's money on the counter with a note saying
"Hey Laro dear, your uncle and I are going to be out on business for a few days so I left 500 dollars for you. THE MONEY IS FOR YOUR FOOD AND GAS DON'T BUY ANYTHING ELSE! There are some leftovers in the fridge if you want some as well. And remember if you need anything just call us. -Auntie Pearl and Uncle Mike"

Laura becomes teary because what her uncle and auntie call her is the same nick name her parents call her. She grabs the leftover chicken, pops it in the microwave, and runs up stairs. She brings her laptop down stairs runs it up and goes on AIM and instantly Norie IMs her.

NorieKinsSPINS: Why didn't you reply to me?!
LOREannaBANANAx: I DID!! Oh and I was reading a note that was on the kitchen counter.
NorieKinsSpins: Oh so who are you living with?
LOREannaBANANAx: Do you seriously not ever listen to me when I'm talking to you? Before I left I said my Auntie Pearl and Uncle Mike they live in the Bay Area. So no you dumbass I didn't see any movie stars. Um what else well.. they go away on business so frequently they hardly spend time in their 1.5 million dollar house over which I might add overlooks the bay.
NorieKinsSpins: Ohhh nice ew do you bike around there?
LOREannaBANANAx: HELL NO! They own four cars of course paid in cash. I have the Lexus to drive anywhere (
LOREannaBANANAx: Auntie Pearl being sisters with my mom had some benefits. Since Auntie Pearl didn't have any kids yet she would always send money to her favorite niece, haha me! :D
NorieKinsSpins: Yeah yeah
NorieKinsSpins: SHOVE

"HAHA nice she got dis-connected"

Laura opens a box with Peanut

Peanut Laura's old crush, first name Chris last name Peanut. Peanut was probably the hardest crush that Laura could have gotten over. Laura opens the box and wonders if she should even speak to him. She was just wondering why he had called her. She told herself after getting over Peanut that she wouldn't fall for anyone in drumline again. She closes the box and gets the chicken out of the microwave.

She turns on the t/v and watches some cartoons after 10 minutes of t/v she hears that someone has IMed her. She places her food on the counter, washes her hands and looks at her computer screen.

"What the hell.."
"Who's IsaacDaniel?"

Laura clicks open new IM.
IssacDaniel: Hey Lore-Anna.

LOREannaBANANAx: uh hey?
IsaacDaniel: Do you know who this is?
LOREannaBANANAx: uh no..
IsaacDaniel: It's Issac.. you know from band?
LOREannaBANANAx: Issac? I don't remember an Isaac.
IsaacDaniel: The one you bumped into during drill this afternoon?
LOREannaBANANAx: ohhh.. so your name is Isaac

She lets out a sigh of relief and tries to call Norie but the line is busy.

IsaacDaniel: Yeah it is well
LOREannaBANANAx: How did you get my s/n?
IsaacDaniel: Well you did put it on the paper they were passing around.
LOREannaBANANAx: ohh.. I thought the guard only saw that though...
IsaacDaniel: Yeah well I'm friends with the guard captain I gave her a ride home and she was telling me about the list. She pointed at your name saying that you're the new girl and were excellent on uhh weapon?
LOREannaBANANAx: Yeah.. sabre and rifle.

At that moment her phone rang

Dial Tone

"Ugh damn it Norie"
While Laura was talking to Norie she didn't notice that Isaac was still on "hold" on AIM.

LOREannaBANANAx: Oh sorry!! I was talking to my friend on the phone.
IsaacDaniel: On no that's fine, um well if you have no one to hang out with you can always hang out with me the first day of school.

Laura blushed while reading the IM. She didn't want to seem too easy but she needed some friends. The only friend she had was some rookie in the tuba line who would always talk about either her boyfriend or her tuba.

LOREannaBANANAx: Uh yeah sure thanks.
IsaacDaniel: No problem (: Well I guess I'll see you the second week at band camp.
LOREannaBANANAx: Um alright bye
IsaacDaniel: Good night Lore-Anna
LOREannaBANANAx: Call me Laura and good night Isaac
IsaacDaniel: bye
