Author's Note- Ok, so... Everyone knows that weird things happen in Marching Band/Colorguard, yeah? Yeah. Okay, so these are just my experiences.

--------------------

Picture this: Twenty-five girls standing outside the school's side doors. Each one of these girls has a flag. A few have rifles and one has a sabre, but that doesn't really have anything to do with my 'story' except that these things take up space. Not too much space, but enough to make the area around the side doors slightly crowded.

I was standing near the edge of this mass of girls, sort of near the road. I was talking to my friends Jenny and Kirsten when suddenly, WHAM! My knee starts hurting really bad! I meanREALLY bad. I couldn't really stand on it very well. So I sat down (well, more like fell down) and started clutching my knee. Everyone was all like "Kait! Are you okay! What happened?" except for my 3 instructors who were standing ten feet away from me with out even noticing a thing!

I looked around for what might have hurt me. I noticed this big screw not too far away from me. Then one of my instrucors comes over (still oblivious to the fact that I am hurt and on the verge of tears) and says "Has anyone seen a flag screw? My flag is suddenly missing one." Suddenly it makes sense: Karen's screw flew out of her flag and whammed me in the knee. This thought makes me giggle. Withing seconds, I'm no longer giggling,I laughing my head off at my private little joke. I was just screwed in the knee! Hahaha! Screwed! HA! I was only keeping it to myself because our instructors don't like sexual innuendo jokes.

In the end, I had to hop on one leg all the way to the gym because Karen, Jenny and Caitlin still didn't know I was hurt, even after I told them.
