What is left of us
Based on a true life story!
Prelude- it is coming to the beginning of the year and everyone is talking about the new football season coming up, especially the band! No one can decide whether our team is going to win or not. Last year we had a bad year and only won 5 games our of 10! There are bunches of people just waiting to get into the first game. Then the band comes in and starts playing the Star - Spangled Banner.
Chapter One- It was getting dark and we were 4 points up. Me (Karen) and my 5 friends, Briana, Monica, Brian, Molly, and Arson, are all in band. This is our favorite part of being in band is that we have to stay and out play the other teams band. So far we have won every time but this time there traveling band is twice as big as ours. We aren't letting that get to us so we start playing louder and louder… we won.
"That was hard but awesome," said Molly after the game was over.
"I know I am glad I didn't miss this game!" Monica stated quite happily.
We all walked over to the bus to get some homemade brownies and some cokes.
"There are these ups in band that I am glad for because if we didn't have this I most likely wont be here," Arson said to Brian.
Arson and Brian are identical twins that only we can tell apart. They switch places all the time and the teachers never notice so they always have to hear them talking to tell them apart.
I walked over to our band teacher, Mr. Flores, and told him that I was glad that we could play that game and I cant wait to play again.
"Well I am glad since I just found out that half our band is going to go and leave this year before the next game." He said like he has been debating what to do about it.
"Me and my friends will always be here to play you can count on that," I said unsurely knowing that Molly and Monica were thinking of leaving to.
Within the next week we had lost most of our band and many were threatening to leave because of our new assistant band teacher that had come. He made us do push ups ever time we talked when we weren't called on even if we were helping someone. He especially liked picking on me with my new guy friend that I sit next to. I would never go out with him but that is what he thinks and he doesn't like drama in our band. His name is Brendan. He is just one year older than me and everyone says we look like brother and sister but I cant see it.
Me and my friends were hanging outside waiting for the bell to ring when I see Arson sitting in the corner of the school. He isn't the one guy to do that he is normally annoying someone or trying to get a girl friend(which hasn't happened from what I know). When I walked up to him I noticed tears sliding down his cheeks. Arson was crying actually crying! I just looked at him and gave him the biggest hug in the world and kissed him on the cheek. He looked so cute crying but I didn't know why he was. So I asked him what had happened.
"I just got dumped by" he sniffed "Briana."
I looked at him like he was crazy then I peered over to Briana and noticed she was happier then normal. I felt disgusted inside like I wanted to hurt her so bad. So I took a deep breath and helped Arson stand up. He wiped his tears away and started walking away from the rest of our friends.
