"ALEXIS! GET UP! YOU NEED TO PACK!" a voice screamed up the stairs, making Alex wake up.

Alex slid out of bed and pulled on shorts and a tanktop. She pulled out her suitcase, throwing everything she would need in there. Her mother shouted for her to get ready, which Alex ignored and was down in about 20 minutes.

"Hurry get into the van!" her mother said. "We'll be late."

"But mom! We have about 20 minutes to band camp."

"I know. I just want you not to be late."

Alex groaned. Why did mothers worry so much? They'll go grey before they reach their forties. She pulled her suitcase and things out to the van and her mother soon had her at school. She walked through the school and into the band room where Kasey, Mercedes and two other girls stood. All of them had suitcases and sleeping bags. Alex walked up to Mercedes.

"Hi Alex. Oh this is Lauren the drum major and Kira the sax section leader," Mercedes said.

"How does she know..."Alex started.

"Mr. Clark already posted the results. I saw you were the tuba section leader," Kira said. She sounded a bit hyper.

"Yeah. I saw it too. Congrats," Lauren said.

Alex nodded nervously and bit her lip. "Where should we set up our sleeping bags?"

"We should probably wait until after practice," Lauren replied.

"Um ok. I think I'll go look at my tuba," she said, just wanting to be by herself.

Alex sat down and ran her hand over her tuba. Such a wonderful instrument. She head the band doors open and close with a thud. She heard Mercedes talking to someone.

"Oh, hi Tony," she said. Alex could tell she was nervous.

"You don't look happy. You should be. We get to live here for the summer!" Kasey said.

"Shut up, dumb ass," Tony said.

"HEY! Now that was really rude!" Mercedes said, eyes wide.

"You're just a teacher's pet," he said and Mercedes face went red as he walked towards Alex.

"So...how does it feel to beat a senior?" Tony asked her bitterly.

She looked up. "I didn't try it."

"Oh...sure you didn't. Just some dumb newbie to the school. Bet you bribed Mr. Clark."

"I didn't! Would you just back off?"

"No! I should have got that part."

"I earned it fair and square. You know it but you just won't admit it. You are just caught in your pride. I think Kasey was right. I'm glad now that I usurped you."

"I'd just shut up. You probably can't even play."

"You've heard me play! I'd just shut up if I were you."

Tony muttered something but Alex didn't hear it. Mr. Clark had walked into the room. Soon after him, more people with sleeping bags and suitcases came in.

"Time to get to the drill," Mr. Clark said, which caused everyone to groan.

Alex, Mercedes, and Kasey walked out of the room. They kept quiet. Noone really wanted to talk about what had happened. It left them all speechless. After two hours of learning 5 sets and talking, they all filed inside, tired and hot. Alex's face had already started to burn. They all pulled out their instruments and started to play. Tony wouldn't looked at Alex.Alex put down her tuba after practice and went to seek out a spot to sleep.

A/N: Sorry if this is sort of a stupid chapter. R&R Oh and offer still stands but drum major and sax leader are taken.
