Love of the Game
PART I :: FRESHMAN YEAR
A/N: So this is basically my story on how I came to join the marching band after some tragic high school drama. Names are changed so no Mercedes is not my name, ha-ha it's actually the name of someone who ends being part of this story (you'll have to guess who I swapped with)
Disclaimer: I do not own this state, this school, this band, or these people. I only own myself, my future, and the way this story turns out. 3
Intro: May The Mass Times Acceleration Be With You
Mercedes Noel Grant never considered herself to be an outgoing person like all of her friends in band. She had always shied away from activities that would put her name in shining lights or make her look better than someone else. That's why nobody, not even herself, expected her high school life to turn out the way that it did.
She wasn't exactly a normal girl either. While most shy girls dreamed of becoming a cheerleader or Homecoming Queen, she dreamed of going to comic conventions. Life in a state as big as Texas seemed to cut you off from the outside world at times.
She had a lot of friends who were always sure to back her up in a fight. She only considered five of all those people to be her best friends and she only trusted one of those to tell everything to. She had a lot of things in common with her friends ranging from a love of anime to a love of the marching band, but she only had one thing in common with ALL of them. She wanted to find that greater force of the universe, the one that some people spend their whole lives searching for. She wanted to find something or someone that could truly make her happy and keep her happy forever.
She wanted love.
And she didn't think that she could find it until the craziest thing happened…
