Alex threw down her sleeping bag in the far back corner by the timpani. She watched as her friends laid their own away from her and each other. Why are we doing this? We didn't even fight, she thought. Stupid school. WishI haven't come then I wouldn't be first tuba and Tony wouldn't hate my guts and Mercedes and Kasey wouldn't be sleeping far away. Heck, I wouldn't even know them. Stupid dad had to accept that stupid job. Alex felt tears slide down her face. She didn't notice someone walk up and stand beside her.

"Alex, explain what is going on," the person said. It was Mr. Clark.

"We came in and Tony came up to Kasey and called him an asshole or something. Then, he called Mercedes a teacher's pet. Well, he blamed me for bribing you and he hates my guts," Alex said, not noticing that she had said a swear word to a teacher.

"Well, Mercedes gets that a lot and Kasey can handle himself for the most part. But you can't take it personal. I'll just let you alone to think," Mr. Clark said and he left.

Alex wiped up her tears and a boy came over to her. "Are you ok?"

"I'm not sure," she said.

"Well, I'm Connor. If you ever need someone just to talk to, I'll be over in the trumpets," the boy said.

"Ok. Thanks," she said and then she looked up at him.

Dude, is he hot! she thought. He had spiked dirty blonde hair and bright green eyes. All the girls liked him. He seemed really sweet too. He left and Alex sat there just staring after him. Mercedes soon came over.

"Um...Alex you want to come over with us? You know, Kasey and I," Mercedes said.

Alex nodded and took her sleeping bag down.

"Was Connor talking to you?" Mercedes asked.

"Yeah. He seemed really sweet."

"He must like you."

"What do you mean?"

"He's a nice boy and everything but he usually keeps to himself and doesn't talk to anyone, only to people he likes."

"Oh. Okay," Alex said as she sat her sleeping bag back down.

Kasey pulled out a can. Alex looked at the label and it said shaving cream. He shook it up. "This is for tonight! We sabotage everyone who falls asleep."

"But what if you fall asleep first? You know you always do," Mercedes said.

"I do not! I will not!" Kasey declared.

"Whatever," Alex said and she grinned at Mercedes.

Mercedes pulled out laser guns. "We can play laser tag!"

Alex laughed. "Yeah!"

Every seemed normal right now. Alex was glad no one was talking about what had happened. Night soon fell and the school got dark. Kasey, Mercedes and Alex put on the laser guns and started through the school. It was like one big playground. When they got back to the band room, Kasey soon fell asleep. They sabotaged him and he soon woke up, cursing.

"Let's play Truth or Dare!" Mercedes cried.

Soon a whole bunch of guys and girls ran over there. Alex looked over and Connor sat alone in a corner. She motioned for him to come over but he shook his head. She mouthed please and he left a sigh and was soon over. Everyone gasped when he came over because he never did anything.

"Well I'll start," Mercedes said. "Kasey, Truth or Dare?"

"Dare, of course!" he said.

"Well, I dare you to run into the girls bathroom and drop your pants. Then, you have to scream, pull up your pants and run back out."

Kasey looked perplexed. "No way! That's too absurd. I'll do it!"

They all stood up and ran to the girl's restroom. Kasey ran in and they made a boy follow him in. They heard laughter and a lot of screaming and then he ran out. He was red. They all headed back to the band room.

"There. Ok...Hm...Alex, Truth or Dare?" Kasey asked.

"I'll take dare," she said.

"Ok. You have to french kiss Connor and then hold his hand for the rest of the game."

She looked at him wide-eyed and open mouthed. It really wasn't that bad but to kiss a boy she just met and it was a french kiss!

"You have to do this or you get two!" Kasey said.

Alex leaned over to Connor and mouthed I'm sorry. She leaned in and kissed him. His eyes widened and so did hers as she had to french kiss. After a few minutes, she pulled away and smiled. She took his hand to finish the dare. That wasn't bad, she thought. She soon did the traditional asking of Truth and Dare. At the end of this, Connor went away, embaressed. Alex walked over to him.

"I am so sorry! I didn't know they would ask it."

"Doesn't matter. I knew they would do something wierd. That kiss though...."

"I'm still sorry...."

"I enjoyed it," Connor said and Alex just stared at him. "Well, see you tomorrow," he said, laying down to sleep.

Alex nodded and walked away. She didn't expect that. She thought he would never talk to her again. She looked back at him one more time and then headed to her own sleeping bag, where she talked to Mercedes most of the night.

A/N: Here's Ch. 8! Well, sorry I didn't update earlier. My computer is acting up. Positions still open: Clarinet, Trumpet, Baritone, Flute, Trombone, and Color guard(Well it is all I can think of right now). I remember my own truth and dare things and that what inspired this chapter. Well, R&R.
