"First off its called 'The Band Room'." Chuckled Glad. I rolled my eyes, " Right! dont wanna get that wrong!" I said sarcasticly. 'Though i really do need this. I really dont need to bring more attention to myself. I just need to fit in'. "Anyway, what do ya play petee?" She asked wile pressing down the bottons on woodwind she had been carrying. "Err, the drums" I reply. She stops dead in her tracks. " Really? huh, though you would've played flute" '... Whats a flute?'. " Were here!" She squeaked, running inside. I take a deep breath, 'I can do this'. " I mean, it cant really be that bad." I say, pushing open the door.

The first thing i noticed was the big lockers, why are they so big! I take a step forword and im immediately cut off by this girl, " Uh, who are you?" She smacks. You can tell that she has about 5 sticks of gum in her mouth. " Im here for t-the marching band" I stammer. 'I really need to get that fixed'. " Pfft, WELL duh!" She remarked and walked away. I stood there, trying to let what just happend sink in. Then i hear a chuckle from behind me, i tense up at the familiar sound. " Aye! Look! Its door boy!" The chubby one teased. " Uhhhhh nothing sur" He mocks, " His name is petee stupid!" Glad retorts. 'wWat do i do? Should i say something back? Yeah!'. I begin to open my mouth when a blonde haired girl with red tips jumps in. " Shut up Mikey! And come here petee." She shouts. " Sur yes SUR!" Mikey replys but after one glance at him from red tips, he shuts up. I make my way threw the crowd to her, she has a pair of red taped drum sticks in her hands. " You must be the new kid, my name is Alexandra. Im drumline capton and i play snare" wile she spoke, she was twirling the drumsticks fast and faster after every word. " I see you have already met Mikey." wile pointing to the red haired boy. " Yo, sorry freshy. Didnt know you were one of us." He explains. " Hi, im Tony." The boy who was dragging the big case adds, " I play the marimba in the front". He looks quickly over at Alexandra then brings him self back. " This is plank" Alexandra pipes in grabing the silent boy by the arm. " We call him this because he says nothing, like plank off of the Ed' Edd 'n Eddy cartoon". He moves the hair out of his face though it falls back into place and waves. " So the names Petee, right?" She asks wile writing on a clip board. " Well, my real name is Peeter but-" Mikey cuts in " Nah, you look like a Petee, Petee" he blurted. " Petee it is then" Tony chuckles.

" What do you play petee?" Alex asked, 'O god, say something cool. Act cool!' " The drums" i reply. The group starts laughing, 'Well, there goes my chance of being cool. Way ta go "Petee" '. I stand there till they finish up the laugh fest. " Nah dip kid, she means which drum" Mikey replys. I stand there for a wile, ' I dont know what to say! Ive never played before'. " You havent played before, have ya Petee" Alexandra says looking strait at me. I shake my head no, " I'll just go now.." I say turning around and starting to walk twords the door. " Where are ya goin Petee?!" Tony bellows. I stop and turn around again, 'Where do you think im going? Im not gonna waste your time'. " Come back over here kid" he contenues. I walk back over and i guess they can read me pretty well because " Its cool man, Mikey started off stupid too" Tony adds, he gets a laugh out of Alex. you can tell that made his day. " Ha, no!" Mikey replys " But anyways, yeah, everyone has to start somewhere. We will just put you on bass and ill take snare and-" Alex cuts him off " Your staying on bass Mikey". The whole atmosphere changed in under half a second. " WHAT! WHAT THE HELL ALEXANDRA! FREAKIN' YOU KNOW HOW BAD IVE WANTED TO PLAY SNARE!" he shouts. " Im the section leader, i make the chocies!" she replys, firm but relaxed. " GOD! ALEXANDRA! YOUR THE WORST SECTION LEADER! YOUR JUST WORRYED BECAUSE IM BETTER THAN YOU!" Alexandra doesnt looked moved at all, like she didnt even hear a word Mikey said. " You dont talk to her like that!" Tony warned Mikey. " O shut up lover boy!" Mikey replys folding up his arms. Tony's face got red, i couldnt tell if it was from anger, embarrassment, or both.

"Whats going on over here" a deep voice spoke behind me. I jumped, 'Who is that?'. " Nothing Mr. S, just Mikey having a tantrum because he's marching bass again." Alex says looking over at the pouting junior. " Well, if you act like a freshman, your get treated like a freshman" she adds looking back over at the man. " Right, listen to her fella's. She knows what she's doing." he remarked and walked away. "Listen to her. she knows what she's doing. pfft" Mikey mumbled. Tony seems to have gotten over the comment he got from Mikey, " Dude, calm down. It not that she HAS to keep you there. Its cuz she knows your the best bass player here at Elden" Tony reminded him. " Heh, your right. I am the best." Mikey replys. "Sorry 'bout the lover boy comment Tony" he said with a smirk " Just had to, you practacly gave me that one dude hahaha". ' Dang these guys bounce back quick'. " Shut up!" Tony growled, punching the wise guy right in the gut. " SHIT MAN!" Mikey yelped out in pain. " Payback's a bitch huh!" he chuckles. "Well then" Alexandra pipes in, Tony stops and looks up. " Now that your tantrum is over Mikey and you two had that love fest, lets move on to music." The two boys jump up and run twords a closet nere the back of the room. " Just to tell you" Alex began, " That man you saw, that was Mr. Semons. Hes the band director. Hes a cool guy but you need to be respectfull around him." She explaines. " He's into the whole respect people in higher authority thing, though sometimes he loosens up." She pauses to pick up some papers off the floor. " Come and follow me" she motions over to the closet Mikey and Tony ran into. " Er... what about... him?" I point over at Plank, he is opening the box Tony had. " Hes fine, we have to use Tony's older brothers tenors sence we dont have any here." She explains. " Now come on!". I follow her back into the closet, wondering whats back there. I look in the door and there are papers everywere, drum heads on the ground, and harneses. " About how tall are you Petee?" Alexandra ask's while rummaging threw a cardboard box. " I think around 5'5", 5'6"." i reply. ' Thats a weird question to ask'. " Why?" i asked. " heres your harnes". she exclaimed "huh?" I reply. " welcome to the snare line Petee."
