I had my head down as I walked to my room, ashamed that I had let it out so fast. I should have known it wasn't going to last forever, seeing as I suck at keeping secrets. The longest I kept a secret was a day, but that wasn't my fault. That was Bobo's fault. He was the one who had to be so noisy in the middle of the night.

My room was at the end of the hallway, near the elevator. At least I wouldn't have to walk a ways for the elevator. It was right next to our room. I pulled the room key out and swiped it, and the door beeped in response.

Before I could even think of opening the door, it was thrown open and I was brought into a hug. I screamed in shock, and then in fear. Who the hell was hugging me?

They quickly let go, and I saw a tall blonde with hazel eyes looking at me.

"Oh I'm sorry. I probably freaked you out." She rushed out, before shoving her hand forward, indicating for me to shake it. "I'm Ava Hall. I'm a member of the Color Guard! I'm a sophomore!" She exclaimed, shaking my hand then pulling me into the room before shutting it behind us. Four other girls stood around in the room, getting their beds ready and putting their clothes away in the dressers.

The four of them all looked very different in looks, height, and age, but they were all dark haired, making Ava the only blonde in the room.

"There's only one bed left. Sorry, we just kind of chose without you here." I tall black haired girl said to me.

"It's fine." I responded, walking over to my suitcase with was located in the corner of the room. "Which dresser is open?" I asked them. A shorter girl pointed to one near the set of bunk beds near the window. I quickly walked over there and started unpacking.

"You know what this needs?" Ava asked us all. No one responded. "You guys seriously don't know. We need some music. Let's make this a party!" She exclaimed very loudly. Honestly, she had too much energy for any time of the day.

She danced over to her bed, a grabbed her phone, searching though it for a minute before some song started to play. I don't know who this band was, but they weren't that bad. I wouldn't mind listening to them while I unpacked.

Ava's voice rang though the room again," We should get to know each other! I only know some names!"

I listened to everyone as they introduced themselves. The tall black haired girl's name was Violet Morgan, and she was a Senior clarinet player. She was also the section leader, whatever that meant.

There was Cora Garcia, a Mexican senior who had the curliest hair I have ever seen. She was a member of the drumline. She said something about tenors or something like that.

The shorter girl's name was Quinn Hughes, a freshman trumpet player. She had piercing blue eyes and long brown hair, and she seemed to have a very nice personality. Well, I hoped. She was my bunkmate after all.

The last one to introduce themselves was a trombone player named Persephone Cox. She had dark brown hair and was really short. She was also a junior like me, and she seemed to be as, or even more, anti-social than I was.

By the time everyone else was done, I had finished unpacking what little amount of clothes I had and made my bed, which I was currently sitting in. It was the top bunk, so I hope I won't have any problems with it, seeing as I fell out of a normal bed this morning.

"It's your turn." Ava said to me. I then realized no one in the room knew me. I haven't attended this school before, so I was completely new to them.

I sighed. "My name is Lauryn Banks. I'm a Junior and I play the Mellophone." I told them.

"You were the girl Mrs. Banks called out on the bus!" Quinn exclaimed. "And you share a last name!"

"She's my step-mom. Mr. Banks is my father." I told them, laying down on my bed. I didn't care if they knew. Everyone else in the band probably knows already, so why not the girls I was going to be living with for the next two weeks?
