((I've decided I am keeping this story now that I have an actual PLOT LINE and it took forever to come up with it. Enjoy!))

"Well, obviously this is the auditorium, where we'll have to go for the introductions in about an hour." Kristy said, pointing out all the sights and sounds of the campus. Kristy had her case with her as they walked outside,

"And um…that's the park…and the train station. There's a couple of good places to eat around here, but that's basically it."

Lori looked around and around, "This is fantastic." She said out loud, looking around. Kristy nodded her head,

"Yea, it's pretty cool. Here, you don't have a summer job, no parents to bug you…"

Lori zoned out and looked down at her feet. She vowed that no one here would find out her situation. After all, she was just like them. Or…at least I think…she thought, looking around again.

Jay sighed and looked around, blinking at the sun again. He checked his watch momentarily and realized that he had to go to the introduction.

'Nah…great' he thought, standing up and grabbing his guitar, before heading inside to the auditorium, taking his normal spot by Kiwi with Robin in front of him.

'How does she get in year after year?' he thought to himself, looking back. His eyes caught the sight of a girl, her auburn hair falling just over her shoulders and her face soft as she surveyed the scene. Jay turned back around,

"Not again." He told himself.

After the same old introduction, everyone headed off to their first class, Jay lagging behind, as everyone hurried off, talking and laughing.

'Boy Jay, you're out of it no doubt. Maybe Mr. Torvald's class will be better' he thought, walking around. Classes didn't start until the next day, so Jay obviously had nothing better to do than to go up to the roof.

Terri and Jay had gone up t the roof a lot in the year they had known each other, and however many times he went up here, he still never got over the initial excitement. But…this time Terri wasn't there. Terri was now…nothing more than a memory deep in his mind. He wiped a tear forming in his eye and lifted his guitar onto his back, walking off the roof. It was just too painful at the moment. Someday he would go back….

After the assembly, Kristy, Lori, and a couple of Kristy's friends all gathered by the entrance, all with their instruments.

"Well, I think this campus could use some livening up" one of the girls, Casey said, raising her tenor saxophone to her lips and playing a jazzy melody. Lori grinned, took her sticks and banged a jazz beat against the concrete. Kristy joined Casey with her alto, the two voices blending well, as Cassie, a flutist and Rachel, a singer began to vocalize and play. All over the campus, people started to pick up, raising their instruments, following along as the music flowed through Lori,

"This is so cool!" she shouted as a violinist played next to her ear, changing the tone from jazz to country. Almost immediately everyone changed their tone. And now, as Jay was walking down and heard the band, he looked over and saw that girl again, drumming.

"She's a drummer" he said to himself.

"Hey Jay!" a voice called, Jay turned around to see Denise with her violin,

"Give us somethin' on the guitar!" Kiwi said, Jay shook his head,

"Naw guys. I'm gonna pass on this one." He said, walking off, catching the eye of the girl. He grinned slightly before hurrying off just as everyone sang out one last note,

"Hey, that was awesome!"

"Yea, well, welcome to Bristol-Hillman my friend." Casey said, grinning wildly. Lori smiled and looked around, she was gonna like it here, but suddenly her eye caught something. She turned around to see someone hurrying off, the guitar case blocking her view.

'Weird'
