I could not keep my eyes off him. He was just so beautiful, so talented; so cool...so...Lucas. I can't decide why exactly I like him so much. Well, for starters, Lucas is totally hot. He's got blond hair that's nearly shoulder-length, fairly muscular build (as I would expect from the push-ups he probably did during band camp) and the cutest face. Unfortunately, I've never gotten close enough to see what color eyes he has, but I'm hoping they're brown or green instead of the oh-so-common blue (not that blue is ugly or anything.)

Not only is Lucas hot, he's one of our drumline captains (we have two.) He plays tenor (quads). Drool. Now I don't know many tenor players, but i do say Lucas has got to be one of the best. Lucas really has fun at football games, or so I heard from my friend, Brittany. According to her, he was flapping one arm like a chicken wing and saying, "quack, quack." When she asked him if he was a chicken, he said, "No. I'm a chicken-duck!"

But when it all boils down to it, I think I like Lucas because he reminds me so much of my friend, Devyn, who lives in Missouri. You see, when I met Devyn at Bands Alive! band camp at Southwest Missouri State University, I was totally nuts for him. And it only got worse when I got home from vacation and discovered he had also had a crush on me. But it wasn't meant to be. Devyn said he thought of me more as a little sister and though I was heart-broken at first, I did eventually get over it. I did ask him about it, however, and he said he didn't want to hurt me. So I was finally put to rest. Lucas and Devyn have the same easy-going manner and Lucas looks so much like a classic rocker, just like Devyn. In fact, the first week of school was torture, seeing Lucas and thinking it was Devyn. The horror.

All through band camp, I stared at Lucas. Any spare moment taht I had, I spent on looking at him and daydreaming if he was near. I told Carly and Brittany I thought he was majorly hot and they agreed. Carly had her heart set on a tuba-player named Jeremy, though. In a way, I was glad. If Lucas went out with any freshman, it would probably be her.
