1I saw her.. The first day of school. First period: Symphonic Band, and she called us to attention. Last year, I unfortunately was not in Symphonic Band, but luckily she wasn't either. We saw a lot of each other last year in my seventh grade year... we had a lot of classes together, and of course, the marching band. At awards night before the marching season ended, they called her name.. To be our new Drum Major for eighth grade year... Yes, they said into the microphone, my two favorite words: Bella..Swan.

She was the drum major. HE was the assistant... God, I hate that Edward Cullen... He likes Bella as much as I do... possibly even more. Edward plays tuba, and sousaphone for marching band, your typical square. I, Mike Newton, play trumpet. I am also trumpet section leader, and I inherited the nickname "mikebear" from one of our instructors, Jacob Black.

I like Bella a lot. But the clarinet section leader, Jessica, is always looking over at me, and someone even told me she liked me. I decided that I liked her, maybe a little, but I will never give up on Bella. Jessica was really beautiful, but there's just something about Bella when she calls us to attention in the morning, and of course, at Marching Band practice. The way Bella's face lit up as she called a command was just heart warming. Yet, Jessica was very giggly, and had an adorable smile. I just don't know who to choose.

This was but one of my problems. Everyone was crushing on the drum major, even the assistant drum captain, Eric. Me and Eric were best friends, but when it came to Bella, we always argued. About who got to sit with her in Geometry, or who got to be her lab partner. Nevertheless, Edward was always her lab partner. Eric pretty much throws himself at Bella; whereas, I do not. I prefer to hide my feelings.

Jacob calls me a marshmallow, for I am always a mushy kind of guy. I love that romance-y junk. Jacob found this out when he caught me doodling, "Mike+Bella=Forever Together" on my sheet music. He said to me, "What a marshmallow."

I just got back from the music store because I needed some valve oil for my trumpet, when I heard my computer screaming from my room. Eric IM'd me.

AznEric: DUDE!

MikeBear: Huh???

AznEric: Edward and Bella, they're like OFFICIAL.

MikeBear: No way dude.

MikeBear: Your lying.

I sat there, speechless. I quickly logged on to Facebook. I clicked on the name "Bella Swan."

I tried to read her profile page... Her relationship status. It read, "Bella Swan is in a relationship with Edward Cullen."

I froze. It was all over.
