Chapter 7

"Kristine, you look like you're on cloud 9," Shannon said when she walked into the room.

Kristine's hair was wet from having just taken a shower and she sat on her bed French braiding it in pigtails. She had a wide grin across her face.

"I think I am," said Kristine in a dreamy voice. She sighed.

"Alright, spill," Shannon said, climbing onto Kristine's bed. "You weren't ever half this dreamy whenever you mentioned Will. I miss that by the way. Anyway. Spill. I'm pretty sure it involves Ron. No wait. I'm positive."

Kristine giggled. " While we were dancing I asked Ron if he wanted to go out with me. And...he said yes. When he walked me up here and said goodnight..."

"Yeah," Shannon said, eager to find out what had happened.

"He kissed me," Kristine said as she finished her braids.

"That's great. You already know what happened with the closet"

"Duh. I still can't believe you asked him to do that. It's very unlike you."

"No, It's not."

"You're right. The AIM conversations have definitely transcended that. A/N: Don't ask " Kristine laughed.

"That they have."

"Hey enough chatting. Didn't Wyman tell you to go to sleep as soon as you got in?"

"Yeah, but do I EVER listen to Wyman?" Shannon said with a sly grin.

"Nope, and from what I can tell and from what Ron's been telling me about Hogwarts you'd be a tie between Slytherin and Ravenclaw. Now go to sleep." Kristine threw her pillow at Shannon. A/N: Shannon and I have official joined the dark side...i.e. we are now 'Deatheaters'...The dark side has all the hotties anyway...I'm dragging Ron over though and putting the imperious curse on him....lol....yeah we have no lives

In response Shannon stuck out her tongue. "Now you have no weapon." She laughed maniacally, then hit Kristine with her own pillow.

Kristine grabbed Shannon's beloved Elmo doll from off of the desk next to her. " Go to sleep or the Elmo gets it." A/N: Shannon loves Elmo

" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!," Shannon screamed. "Fine, fine. Just put Elmo down."

Shannon changed into her pajamas and climbed into bed. She was clinging to her Elmo doll lest Kristine get a hold of it.

Kristine walked to the light switch and shut off the light. She climbed into her bed and lay down. Both girls fell asleep.

"The weather today...," drawled a voice from the clock/radio next to Kristine's bed. She groaned.

::Morning already?:: she thought, still only half awake. Kristine rolled out of bed and pulled her suitcase out from under it. She sleepily picked any random outfit. Shannon was still lying in bed.

"Wake me up in an hour or so," she muttered.

Kristine laughed. " You'd miss breakfast if you did that." She yawned. Kristine changed in the bathroom and when she got back her roommate was at least partially awake.

Fifteen minutes later they were on their way to eat. Stepping into the cafeteria they spotted Ron, Harry, Draco, and Jess, who had saved them seats. The four that were already in the cafeteria had just returned from getting their food. Kristine got her food, then took the seat next to Ron. Shannon sat next to Draco. Harry and Jess were sitting across from each other. Harry held Jess' hand on top of the table.

Shannon and Kristine simultaneously raised an eyebrow at this.

"Kris, did we miss something?"

"I think so. Jess?"

Jess giggled.

"Well isn't it obvious. Those two've been snogging."

"Draco," Shannon exclaimed , hitting him on the arm.

Draco said "Ow!" as Ron and Kristine laughed. Harry was blushing. Jess bit Draco, making him say "Ow!" again. This only made Kristine and Ron laugh even harder.

"So, What are we missing?" asked Shannon, ignoring the exclamation from her boyfriend.

"We're, er, going out..." whispered Harry.

"I KNEW IT!!!" remarked Kristine. "Ronald Weasley, Did you know about this? He is your roommate."

"I knew, He told me last night after the dance. And don't call me Ronald. You sound like my Mum."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Kristine hit him on the arm. This time it was Draco's turn to laugh. Ron just shrugged and rubbed his arm.

Jess turned to the boys.

"Are you guys ready for your freshman initiations?" The minority of people in the band were seniors ( there were only about 11). Most of them were girls and it had been p to them to decide the task. Kristine, Jess, and Shannon had helped develop it this year.

The guy rookies were to come to the girls floor after breakfast that day and get a little "makeover", i.e. they would have to walk around camp for the rest of the day dressed as girls. The boys knew nothing about this however.

"We're not freshman," murmured Draco.

"Doesn't matter. It's something that all rookies must go through," said Jess.

When they were back at the dorms Jess, Shannon, Kristine and the rest of the senior girls each grabbed a boy. Jess got Harry, Shannon got Draco and Kristine got Ron. Bonnie brought them their 'tools'. These included eye shadow, lipstick, mascara, blush, hair ties and the outfits that each guy would be wearing.

Seeing these things the guys turned to run. Bonnie stood in front of the door to the snack room, which was the only room that girls and boys were allowed in at the same time.

"You're not going anywhere," she said threateningly.

Harry, Ron, and Draco reached into their pockets for their wands. They were going to try to use magic to open the door. To their surprise they wound their wands were missing from their pockets. They looked up to find their girlfriends twirling them between their fingers.

"Looking for these?" they said in unison.

Ron, Harry, and Draco looked stunned to say the least.

"How?" muttered one of them.

"We slipped them out of your pockets at breakfast. Surprised you didn't notice they were gone sooner," explained Kristine.

"That was sneaky," said Draco, sounding rather impressed.

"Glad you think so. Now, sit you butts in those chairs. NOW!" said Jess.

It took them about 20 minutes to get the boys 'pretty'. They each stepped back to admire their handiwork. They had to admit that they had done a pretty good job of making the guys look like girls.

Ron, Harry, and Draco each had their hair in two short pigtails at the sides of their heads. They had on blue eye shadow, blush, and light pink tinted lip-gloss. Ron was wearing a white tank top and orange floral print mini skirt. Harry had a green tube top and denim mini skirt. Draco had on a blue tank top and blue short shorts. Ron was wearing a white tank top and orange floral print mini skirt. Harry had a green tube top and denim mini skirt. Draco had on a blue tank top and blue short shorts. A/N: I'm sorry Shannon...I had to do it... Some how each guy managed to pull off their outfits flawlessly. A/N: Scary I know They, in fact, looked pretty good. A/N: Scarier

Each girl led her guy to the elevator. When they got downstairs several guys looked at the funny group and started checking them out. Too bad they didn't know half of them were guys.

Outside, the girls started laughing hysterically. The guys, on the other hand, looked horrified. Their faces only made the girls laugh harder.

"Wow. You guys are so hot even the guys want you," said Jess. She was still laughing hard. This was classic.

"Haha. Very funny," said one of the freshman males. He looked really pissed off at the thought of having to walk around as a girl all day long.

"What do the girls have to do?" asked another freshman.

"They have to propose to a member of another band, sing I'm a Little Teapot or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on a chair in the cafeteria, and run down the hall in nothing but a towel," stated Kristine.

"I want to be there for the last part," muttered Draco. This resulted in yet another hit on the arm from Shannon.

The rest of the band soon assembled downstairs. Each member did a double take when they saw the rookie guys. They girls started laughing, while the guys stood there with their mouths wide open.

A tall boy from the Ramapo band walked up to Harry as Hicksville stood there.

"Hey. You are HOT! What's you name?"

"Harry," he said in a girlish voice.

"Is that short for Harriet?" A/N: Can you say stupid guy?

"No. Just Harry, I'm a guy and I have a girlfriend." He had changed his voice back to normal.

The other boy stood there in stunned silence. His eyes were wide and his jaw was nearly to the floor. The entire band couldn't help but laugh at the fact that he had just proposed to a guy.

"Line up. Now," yelled Genesis, after the band had calmed down a bit.

They did as they were told. When the band reached the field, Wyman was already there. This was a change. The band director was usually half an hour late. They all figured that he was probably basking in the air-conditioned apartment that was set aside for band staff.

"Looks like the seniors got to the newbies," he said, seeing the rookie boys. He had a bemused look upon his round face. "Skirts don't get you out of practicing. Basics block."

Lindsey, the color guard instructor, stretched the band. When they were stretched they went through their exercises, These included first steps, stop-and-goes, body shifts, and the box.

When they finished their basics Bill let them get a drink. It was barely nine and it was already getting hot out. The drum line's shirts were soaked through. They decided to take them off. A/N: At camp the drum line actually did that...lets just say that every girl in the band was staring... Even Frank, the assistant drum line instructor and ex-drum line section leader, took his shirt off. Kristen was standing next to Jess and had to grab a hold of her to keep from falling. She had done the same thing during the previous band camp when both she and Frank had been in the band.

"Back on the field. Opening set," yelled bill. This caused the band to groan loudly. They hated reviewing.

"Alright band. This is our last full visual block. Let's make it a good one," Bill said from the yellow scaffolding that was assembled in back of the podium, this time using the microphone.

"Stand by," roared Genesis from the podium. All did as they were told.

They band did a review of the first 30 pages ( at once). Then took that chunk by chunk. It was all very repetitive. None of the older students really wanted to deal with this. They had started moving and playing at the beginning of the week and they would much rather be doing that, improving breath control and endurance, but NOOOOOO they had to go over the same stupid drill fifty million times.

The band's next water break was nearly an hour and a half later. Kristine and Jess remembered when they got actual breaks, not gush-and-goes. Gush-and-goes were just too fast. It was really hot out.

Everyone was relieved when they were told to break for lunch at 11:40. Since this was their shortest break of the day everyone left their things on the instrument truck and walked over to the cafeteria.

When they entered the cafeteria all of the freshman guys got stared at. They were getting used to it by now though. The only thought that kept them going was the fact that they only had 2 more blocks left for the day. Then they would have free time to pack and rest. In the morning they would have full ensemble of whatever they were going to be doing for the show at the end of the week, then lunch, then more ensemble, and then packing break, dinner, and the show. They could hardly believe that the week had gone by so very quickly. Most of the seniors were happy to see it coming to an end though.

Kristine, Jess, Shannon, Harry, Ron, and Draco ate lunch together as usual. Hermione was off somewhere eating with Bonnie, presumably. Kristine was planning to invite her to come bowling Saturday night though. The girls were planning to fix her up with their friend Chris Heller.

Afternoon block was sectionals. They went over music for 3 hours. More like they got yelled at for not yet having their music fully memorized for 3 hours.

Dinner was basically the same as lunch, same menu and everything. Everyone was longing for the taste of real food. Practically the only things Kristine had eaten all week were nachos (yummmmmmy) and pizza, which was too soft (not so yummy).

During ensemble that night they did a full run through of what they had ensembled so far. Then they added music to drill that they had learned that morning. Finally it was time to go to the dorms. Everyone was excited for the talent show. The veterans were waiting to see if there was another escapade like last year.

The previous year, during Monti's Twelve Days of Band Camp song, George Vouvoudakis had fallen through one of the giant windows on the ground floor of the dorm. The reason he had fallen was because when Monti got to " 10 dumbass drummers" Frank, Mike Alfieri and Adam Conforti had gone to attack Monti, who was a drummer himself. This caused George to laugh rather hard and fall backwards through the window.

When they entered the room everyone grabbed some ice cream, which the parents had provided for them. Kristine was still debating whether or not she should sing. She had brought down a CD just in case she decided to do it. One of the mom's whispered that she should. Kristine had a 'thing' about singing in public. She was fine singing on the bus at the top of her lungs or in the shower or her room but when a whole crowd was assembled, looking just at her, she froze. She decided against it.

Harry and Ron decided to show off with some magic. They were still dressed as girls. They were about to levitate Bonnie, when Wyman walked in.

"NO MAGIC AROUND MUGGLES!!," he screamed.

"But Wyman. They all know about us," protested Ron.

"It's not them I'm talking about. It's the people from Ramapo and Lakeland I'm worried about."

"Ahh," said Harry. "Forgot about them. Heh."

"It's getting late," Wyman announced to the whole band. "Go to bed. You need your sleep. We leave tomorrow."

The band filed out of the band in droves. Everyone was tired from working so hard all week. They gladly went up to their rooms and started packing, just to get a head start.

In the morning, they awoke to a blackened sky and rain. Walking down to breakfast they wondered if practice was still on. They soon got their answer.

"We're in the place where the dance was. Ensemble," announced Erika after breakfast. "You have until 9:30 to get downstairs."

At 9:15 Kristine and Shannon went downstairs to line up. The rain had not yet let up so everyone was in panchos or jackets. The prospects for the show later that night were not good. This was turning out like the year before when Hurricanes Charlie and Bonnie had caused the band to leave early and miss the show.

The band was all excited when they left for lunch and the sun was out. At 2:30 they left to pack. After dinner at 4 they waited for the show. They were on at 6. When the show finished at 8 the band piled onto the bus and were on their way home. Everyone was tired so nothing eventful happened. Kristine and Ron sat next to each other, her body leaning against his. They fell asleep, his arms wrapped around her, warmth against the air-conditioning.

Yes boring I know...but you have to admit, the part with the guys hitting on Harry, Ron, Draco and the other newbies was funny.... I'll try to update soon. I really want to write a bowling chapter...which will be the next one that I write.
