Chapter 1 - Band Camp

~Kelcey 8:00 am Monday

Kelcey quickly tied her shoes, grabbed her drum sticks and ran out the door. She knew she couldn't be late the first day of band camp. Nick would kill her, he didn't make her snare captain this year by accident.

She quickly drove to the campus and she realized that she was excited for band camp. There was something about meeting new people and rehearsing before school even started. It was so different from rehearsals after the season started. Even though everyone always complained and it was always too hot, she still loved it. She was disappointed that Nick wouldn't be on snare line with her though. Last year they really pushed each other to do better and now he was deserting her. But he would be a good drum major.

Kelcey parked her car and ran through the music building to the band room. She quickly looked around, but didn't see Nick anywhere. She did see Tyler though. He was glaring at her and quickly walking her way.

"Where have you been?" Tyler yelled. The room instantly quieted down. "Did you forget that section leaders were supposed to be here at 8:00? Obviously you did since it's 8:15."

Kelcey opened her mouth to say something, but she wasn't sure what.

"Lay off Tyler," a voice echoed through the quiet room. Kelcey turned to see Nick standing in the door way. He walked over to the two. "I'm sure Kel has a perfectly good reason for being late. Don't you Kel?"

"Umm," Kelcey started. "I was, well.. I-"

"Never mind. Come meet the new member of your section."

Kelcey watched Tyler storm out of the room, and then realized that conversation was slowly going back to normal.

"You know," Kelcey whispered to Nick. "I always forget that Tyler's such a control freak during band camp."

"Band camp? I thought he was a control freak all the time." They both started laughing.

~Jordan 8:15 am

"That's our snare captain," a voice behind Jordan said. He turned and tried to remember the guy's name. He couldn't remember but turned again to see where he was pointing.

"I don't see him," Jordan said looking around. He saw Nick, but he was the drum major.

"First of all it's she. And she's the one being yelled at."

"You've got to be kidding me! A girl?" Jordan was shocked, and disappointed.

"Hey, give Kel some credit. She's an amazing percussionist. You should hear her on marimba." Jordan just shook his head as the guy walked off.

Jordan turned back to watch Kelcey. She was actually pretty good looking. She had to be at least 5'5" maybe taller. Her light brown hair had hints of blonde highlights and was cut just below her shoulders. That was all Jordan could tell because she was pretty far away. He turned to get the snare music and when he looked up he saw Kelcey and Nick walking towards him and laughing. They both stopped in front of Jordan with a snare between them.

"Hey Jordan," Nick said. "This is Kelcey, or Kel, and she's going to be the snare captain for marching band. And Kel, this is Jordan. He went to a community college before coming here, and he hasn't marched since high school."

"It's nice to meet you," Jordan said holding out his hand.

"Nice to meet you too," Kelcey said taking his hand.

Jordan realized that she was a lot taller than he originally thought. She had to be about 5'7" and she had the most amazing blue eyes he had ever seen. Jordan finally realized that he was still holding Kelcey's hand he quickly let it go.

"I'll leave you two to get to know each other," Nick said walking away.

"So," Jordan said slowly. "Do you want to look at the music?"

"No way," Kelcey said laughing. "It's way too early to even think about music."

"Yeah, okay."

"Well it was nice to meet you. I'll see you in awhile, okay?"

"Yeah," Jordan said thinking he should come up with something more intelligent to say. He watched Kelcey run over to a group of five people, two guys and three girls. He shook his head again then sat on the floor to start working out some of the cadences.

~Nick 8:10 am

"Tiffany, have you seen Kel?" Nick asked running over to Kelcey's best friend.

"No, not yet. Calm down she'll be here."

"Yeah, I know." Nick started to walk away.

"Nick!" Tiffany yelled. He turned back. "She just walked into the band room."

"Hey, thanks." Nick said walking to the door. He opened it just in time to see Tyler start yelling at Kelcey.

Nick saved Kelcey from Tyler and knew that he was going to be mad. He lead Kelcey over to Jordan and thought about something to talk about.

"You know," Kelcey said breaking the silence between them. "I always forget that Tyler's such a control freak during band camp."

"Band camp? I thought he was a control freak all the time." They both started laughing.

"So how was your summer?" Kelcey asked.

"Pretty boring. I mostly just worked."

"Why didn't you ever call me? We could have hung out or something."

"Really. I kind of thought. Never mind."

"Kind of thought what?"

"Forget about it."

"Come on tell me."

"Maybe later." They had finally gotten over to Jordan and Nick couldn't have been happier. "Hey Jordan."

Nick left Kelcey and Jordan and decided that he better get things started. He blew a whistle and saw everyone slowly turn to him. Tyler walked up next to him.

"Hey everyone. Welcome to the first day of band camp." Nick smiled and looked around, but saw very few others who were as excited as him. Kelcey being one of them who was excited. "In case you don't know yet we're going to be your drum majors this year. I'm Nick Gurney and this is Tyler Anderson."

Tyler took over and quickly introduced all of the section leaders and then told everyone to meet outside in a parade block to march to the practice field.

~Kelcey 8:30am

"I don't see how you can be smiling," Tiffany said. Kelcey just smiled and walked away from Tiffany. "Oh wait. I know why you're so happy. You get to see Nick again."

"Nick and I are just friends," Kelcey said defending herself for the billionth time.

"Yeah, sure whatever you say." Tiffany elbowed Kelcey in the ribs and Kelcey smacked her in her warm with her sticks.

"We go over this all the time. Can't you just drop it for once?"

"Not if it's true," Tiffany said laughing.

"Stop it. We're just friends, and I would appreciate it if you could remember that."

Kelcey took her spot in the middle of the band and wondered why Tiffany was bringing everything about Nick up again. She vaguely heard Tyler call the band to attention and she heard the call for forward march, but she wasn't really paying attention.

"...some clicks?" a voice next to her said. She turned and was startled to see Nick marching next to her. She quickly look away and went back to attention.

"Sorry, what did you say?" she asked hoping it wasn't some sort of trick.

"I just asked if you could give us some clicks."

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I totally forgot that it was my job."

"That's okay. I'll let it go this time."

Kelcey smiled at him then began the simple left, left left right left click. She felt so stupid for forgetting she was in charge of clicks. They finally got to the practice field and realized that it really didn't matter since it was just the first day.
