Changes for Better or for Worse
Disclaimer: I don't own band, though I wish I did. I don't ever think that will happen though.
A van pulled into the parking lot. The school seemed to loom there. It was big, really big, where about 3,000 went to school. This was huge to Alex who had gone to a small school in the middle of nowhere that held about 500. She stared up in amazement as her mother turned towards her.

Alexis Marie Williams was a 15-year-old girl. She had dark brown with blue highlights in it. Her green eyes usually had a shine to them and were warm. She was a little short for her age and thin but had a strong look to her. Alex wasn't a preppy girl but not a nerd. Some would call her a geek. A band geek to be exact. She played the tuba, which was a surprise for a girl her size. Most would expect her to play a clarinet, flute or even a trumpet. This had surprised her parents when she told them what she had wanted to play.
This year during June, her family had moved from the Littleton area to Charlotte, North Carolina. She would be starting her sophomore year here at Stanton High School. She was unsure of this new school, especially the band.

Her mother smiled at her reassuringly. "Have fun, baby girl. I know you will do well. I have faith in you."
"Thanks mom. I'll see you after camp," Alex said, reaching to open the van door.
"Are you sure they will have the tuba?" Her mother asked.
"Yes mother. That is what they said. I have to go or I'll be late," she said opening the door. She knew she was early, but she needed to get out of there.
Her mom sighed. "Well ok. Bye."
Alex slammed the van door and headed toward the school shaking. Who would have thought that she would have moved from her old school? Everything was perfect. She had great friends, a good family, a nice reputation, and was getting good grades. She was doing well for what had happened to her brother recently.
Then, her father got a job transfer.
It was better paying so he accepted. She tried everything not to make him move. It was no use. So here she was. At this school about to head towards the band room. She was nervous, like most would be. Her hand rested on the band room door. Stepping through here, everything might be different. Once she stepped through, her old life would be the thing of the past. She pushed opened the door and it thudded close behind her.
A/N: Hope you like it. I'm sorry if it is short but it seemed like a good place to end the chapter. R&R
