~Chapter 3 -Brad~
For the next 5 or so days nothing out of the usual sectional wars, pranks, and somebody fainting outside during drilling happened. We never figured out who "Boo!" was, not that we much care anymore. Things like this happen every day at NEHS's band camp. This was mine and Kat's third year marching, we'd been marching since the 8th grade and we still loved it just as much as our first year. Last year when we were asleep somebody came in our room and took all of our clothes and switched it around, it was all messed up. We still don't know who did it. But we are thinking that it was Ashley, last years drum major and first chair flute during concert band. She never liked either of us, since when we started marching everybody listened to us more than her. They all think she's just a stupid over confident senior now. Hehe, and we aren't arguing.
It was finally Friday and we had been there a week, camp was going good. Already there were 10 new couples. After marching for a year or so, the only people you date are in band. As sad as that sounds its actually true.
"Comon Brit we have to get to practice before they start. I want to see this new dude, did yah hear? Last night some brass player moved here and they are making him start camp today! From what I hear he's GOOOOD looking. Quick lets go before any of the guard get there!"
When we got to the band room, Mr. L(our director) was talking to him. oohh looked soooooooo good. So Kat and I went over there and introduced ourselves like good little girls. hehe.
"Hey my name's Brad. Which one of you is Kat?"
"That's me!" Kat said, clearly happy.
"Mr. L told me to get you to show me around since we'll be in the same section."
Kat played french horn during concert band, mellophone during marching band, and trumpet during jazz band. As for me I played clarinet during concert band, percussion during marching band, and piano during jazz band. So I'm guessing this Brad played horn and mellophone as well. I sure hope so for Kat's sake. He seemed just a bit interested in her I think.. hmm maybe they will make couple #11. Yah never know.
Brent walked in at this time and attempted to give Kat a kiss, seeing that she was talking to Brad I hit him in the head and then we started wrestling on the floor.. ahhh goodtimes.
"Brit tell Mr. L that I took Brad back to the dorms to show him around and then we will be back soon for rehearsal."
"Alright" I said trying to get out of Brent's grasp. You know he's not all that strong for a senior.
"Who's that Kat was walking with?" said Ariane, you could tell just by her face she was jealous, and thought he was more than hot.
Ariane was the color guard section leader. Boy did she get fiesty.
"That's the new mellephone, Brad. Mr. L told Kat to show him around and stuff.
"I call him. You better tell Kat that, because I wouldn't want her to get hurt if she tried to have him."
"But Ariane, what if he is interested in her? AND NOT YOU!?" HAHAHAH!
"Shut up Brittany. I will have him. You just make sure she knows that."
"Alright. Have a day Ariane."
By the time Kat and Brad got back we had already started rehearsal. You could tell something was up, or at least I could.. I guess I just knew Kat that well. I was glad when morning rehearsal was over, I was dieing to know what had happened!
"Tell tell tell now now now!" I screamed. I was sooo anxious to know.
"Tell what?" said Kat trying to act innocent.
"I'm not stupid Kat, what happened with you and Brad? I know you well enough to know something is up."
"Yes, haha, that is true. Well I told him a little about our band, and our band camp and how things were here. I told him about how we do something every night and he asked me what was happening tonight. And you know since its Friday and we've been here a week, the first dance is tonight. After I told him that we just talked a little bit. He told he moved here from Texas because of his Dad. I told him a little about me and when we were almost back to the band room he was like and I quote, "Hey since I'm new and I don't know anybody but you and Brittany will you go to the dance with me? That is if you aren't already going with Brent that is.. I'm assuming he likes you. But then again, who wouldn't? Your beautiful." Of course I told him yes. I explained to him about the whole Brent thing, he said he would take care of that tonight if I wanted him too.. HAHAHAH! OMGOSH! I can't wait! This is going to be great tonight!"
"Kat! That's soooooo great! I'm soooooo happy for you!!! This night will be a night to remember for sure!"
With that we went to lunch. At lunch something to my surprise happened.
"Hey Brittany!"
"Umm.. hey Travis."
"I know this might seem a bit odd. seeing how we never talk anymore..but I haven't been able to stop thinking about you for a while now, will you go to the dance with me tonight?"
"Ummm. yes..I can say I've missed you as well, I just thought you hated me after the whole Brent thing."
"No Brit, I didn't hate you I was just really upset/sad/jealous of Brent."
"Well you don't have to worry it wont happen again.trust me"
"I'll see you tonight Brit, bye babe."
"Bye" I said in awe.
Travis is this junior who I started talking when I was in 7th grade(he was a 8th grader then). Kat had invited me to her band concert and he gave me his number. We almost went out once, then I met Brent.. ERG! Stupid stupid me!!
"OMGosH KAT!! Did you see what just happened?!"
"Yes yes I did. I've been waiting for him to do that! I knew he still loved you.."
"I don't know Kat, love is a strong thing.But what the hell?! Why not!"
"Comon Brit its already 12:45! We have to go and get my trumpet now! Otherwise we'll be late for jazz band."
"Alright, alright!" I was really in a daze, I didn't think I still care for Travis at all.but when he asked me to go to the dance, I realized I still loved him! Ahh!
