I walked into my dorm room and tossed my keys on the table. Not like I can drive yet, but who cares? Melody wasn't there so I put in a John Mayer CD and started Western Civ notes, because my teacher is evil and assigns bucketloads of homework daily. The door knocked when I had started the second page. "Does the world NOT want me to pass this class?" I asked rhetorically, walking and opening the door. Andrew was standing outside. "What?"

"I…think you'd better come and see this."

"Why?" I asked, looking out the door. "What's going on?" He shook his head.

"Just come on."

We went to the outside of the school and spray painted on the front, clear as a pig on a sofa, were the words. "You're going down, freshman" and had a couple music notes by it. I knew who did it, but I was still in a little bit of shock.

"Are you okay?" Andrew asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go…somewhere else." I said, walking away from the main building. As we walked, I turned back once and looked at it, almost not believing what had been done. "How about we go to…the Caf?" Andrew shrugged.

"Sure."

We got to the Caf and there was almost nobody there. Okay, Melody and Carolyn were. "Did you see the…"

"Yes, no need to go on, thank you."

"I know what'll cheer you up!" Lisa said, walking out of nowhere. "Lots and lots of pirates!"

"What?" Melody asked, and Andrew leaned over.

"Casey has an unhealthy obsession with anything Pirates of the Caribbean." I slapped him. "Saw that coming." SLAP! "Now that was uncalled for, Lisa!"

"Sorry, I couldn't resist." She said, grinning like a Cheshire cat. "But I brought both Pirates DVDs."

"YAY!" I jumped on Lisa. "Let's go watch!" I grabbed Carolyn and Melody's arms and went running out.

"You see? And that's just talking about the movie…"

"ANDREW!" SLAP!

"Best…movie ever." I said when the credits of "Black Pearl" were rolling down the screen. "Thanks guys."

"Hey, what's this?"

"ANTHONY! NO!" I called, but he picked it up anyways.

"Jazz Band music?"

"Yeah." I said, looking away, almost ashamed.

"Why were you hiding this?" He asked. I shook my head.

"If I didn't…"

"Of course you can make it!" Melody said, almost with fake happiness. "Come on, show us a little of what you've got!" I took out my saxophone.

"Be prepared to cover your ears." I said, then started playing "Gumbo Caliente" from memory. I even added a little improvised solo into the middle. Whole notes are boring, right? After I was done, they all sat there and stared.

"Honesty?" Anthony asked. I nodded.

"Honesty."

"That rocked!" He said. "I want you to know, that even though I am sitting down, I'm giving you a standing ovation."

"PRODUCERS!!!"

"Oh GREAT. Another Casey happy movie!" Andrew sighed, rolling his eyes.
