Okay, I don't own any of the characters or the EDHS marching band..stuff,
save myself (Karyn), so don't be mad. The situations are mostly fiction,
and resemblance in any way shape or form of existing people and/or places
is purely (non)coincidental. :-D
It was a dark and stormy night..
No, really, it was about a week ago.
But that doesn't have anything to do with this story; this one happened on a sunny day. Which is a good thing. If it weren't, Karyn, Brittney, and Katie would have frozen (although they were already quite cold) while they stood on the porch outside the bandroom like idiots. Well...it wasn't exactly a porch, just more like an extension of the sidewalk back underneath this large overhang, but ANYWAY everyone called it the porch.
And why were they so idiotically standing there, being cold? We- ellll....that's a good question. Not really, but it sounded nice. They were really waiting for their friends, Chelsea and Maggie-Alex (or Mal or Mallie).
"There they are, there they are!" Brittney jumped up and down when she spotted a van coming into the parking lot that looked a lot like theirs, excited that she would finally be able to go to class.
"No, that's not them, either," Katie sighed and crammed her hands into her jacket pockets.
"Maybe they're dead," Karyn suggested, ever the optimist. The other girls just glared at her.
"Whoops...there I go thinking out loud again," Karyn tried to look embarrassed for her friends' sakes, but she really thought it was kind of funny.
Karyn yawned. She didn't really want to go to English to work on her term paper about Alexandre Dumas, but she didn't particularly enjoy sitting out in the cold, either. She decided to head inside the bandroom, instead, and sleep, cutting English and Algebra II as well. She crawled in the space in the very back of the auditorium (the bandroom was also the school's auditorium, but it was never used for anything) behind the chairs, between cabinets where the band's tuxedoes hung and some stacks of chairs. She quietly pulled some extra tuxes out of the cabinet so she wouldn't have to sleep on the rat poison in the floor, and she fell asleep.
***One hour later***
Karyn woke up wondering if she should try to find Maggie-Alex and Chelsea, when she realized she was being moved.
"Hey!" she exclaimed, biting the hand that was over her face. She heard a muffled "Ow!", and then she was dropped on the floor, but she saw a girl quickly running out of the bandroom. Confused, because she never was a quick thinker when she was sleepy, she just fell back down and dozed off again. It probably had something to do with the rat poison, some of which had kind of accidentally on purpose been put in her nose so she would breathe it. However, she soon awoke herself, and she slowly crept out from behind the cabinets. Just as she did, she noticed the figure of a short girl running toward her, wielding a trumpet...and a pretty nice trumpet at that.
Karyn quickly grabbed the trumpet from the girl, because she couldn't bear to see such a waste of such a precious instrument on her own hard noggin, and instead, she hit the girl one good time in the head with the edge of the bell, knocking her down. When Karyn leaned over and pulled the ski mask off the girl, her suspicions were confirmed. It was her section leader, Kelsey.
Karyn was a little (okay, a lot) confused. While they weren't close friends, they weren't enemies either. She wondered why Kelsey would try to injure or kill her, when the girl started to stir. Karyn quickly hit her over the head again, just so she wouldn't wake up anytime soon, then she dragged her to the tux cabinets. Stepping inside, she found a flight of stairs leading below the bandroom (hey, this is fiction, it can happen), so she decided to blindfold Kelsey and drag her down the stairs. Upon reaching the small room underneath, Karyn noticed a box just big enough in which she could deposit her dwarfed section leader.
After making sure Kelsey was securely bound and gagged, Karyn placed her in the box, and she then threw some freezing cold water in her face to wake her up. She then removed the gag from her mouth, as soon as the initial shock of the water had passed.
"Wh-what is this all about?" Kelsey sputtered, spraying water on Karyn as she talked.
"Oh...shouldn't I be asking you that? Why were you trying to knock me out with your trumpet? It's mine now, by the way," Karyn answered, coolly.
Kelsey looked scared for a second, and then she became defiant.
"Give me my trumpet back. You know that it cost lots of money...I know I can always go out and buy another one since my family is so rich and all, but I like that one!"
Karyn held the trumpet up high in the air.
"Tell me what you were planning on doing, and I might consider returning the trumpet...don't tell me, and the trumpet dies!" She let the instrument dangle precariously on the ends of her fingers.
Kelsey looked scared. "Okay, okay!! I'll tell you.but promise not to tell anyone and get me a bad reputation, okay? I mean, I know they already think that I'm bossy, and Brian and Chris and Daniel think I'm a sexy ho, but I just don't want to make it worse!"
Karyn tapped her foot impatiently. "I'm waiting...I haven't got all day, you know." The trumpet was swinging dangerously.
"O-kay! All the first chair players are trying to get rid of their potential competition since chair auditions are coming up. I hope you're happy now." Kelsey sank back sullenly. She would have crossed her arms, but seeing how she was kind of tied up at the moment, she crossed her eyes instead. And they stuck that way, even though they still could not be seen behind the blindfold.
