Quinn's Pov

I mentally groaned as my alarm shuts off. I told myself that I would start working out in the morning for the Marines. I looked at my black clock beside my bed. 5:30 am. I had about 2 hours to get everything I wanted done. I started my day by making my bed and getting on work out clothes.

I went downstairs and brushed my teeth and put my black hair into a high ponytail. Then I went for a run, the sun slowly coming up in the distance, music playing in my ears.

A little while later, I turned the shower on and took off my clothes and hopped into the shower and showered, shaving my legs after. I got out and wrapped a towel around my body. I went into my room and got dressed into some nice clothes.

I went back in the bathroom and brushed out my hair and blow dried it. I did my face routine, then I went into the kitchen after cleaning my mess in the bathroom, and looked in the fridge for something to eat. Phoebe soon came downstairs and grabbed cereal. "Don't you have anything other than cereal?" I asked

"Nope." She replied. I grabbed a bagal out of the fridge and cream cheese to go on it. I put the begal into the toaster and toasted it. Phoebe grabbed the milk and pours some into the bowl which already has cereal in it. The toaster dings as the begal pops up. I grab out a napkin and put the begal on the napkin.

I then grabbed a butter knife  and opened the cheese, then I spreaded a light amount over the begal. I quickly ate it then went back upstairs to get my bookbag and my Jacket.

Everything was now in the car. I looked at the time. 7:30 am. "Phoebe lets go!" I yelled as I exited the house and got in my car. A few moments later Pheobe open and shutted the door and threw her bookbag in the back seat. "Ready to go?" I ask

She nodded. I pulled out of the drive way and headed to school Pheobe turns on bluetooth and connects her phone and starts playing musical songs. The first one up was "Don't lose your head" by Six, and we started singing.

I walked into the band room as the 1st  period bell rung. Behind me a few more students walked in. Mr Richards, our band director, came out of his office shutting the door. I quickly unlocked my locker, grabbing my Alto Saxophone and setting up my space. Grabbing a Chair, my music out of my bookbag, and a music stand. I sat down as I put a reed into my mouth for a few seconds. I bent down to grab my Instrument case, my long brown hair draping down.

I quickly assembled my instrument and finished putting on the mouth piece with the reed. I look around seeing where my sister was at, she was sitting in the back assembling her trumpet and talking with a few friends. Behind her Sean, my crush came and  stood smiling and saying hi and talking to her group of friends. He was a senior as well. Charming.

"Let us start without warm ups." Mr Richard said as he started to conduct as we played, keeping tempo.

We then did a few more warm ups consisting of rhythms and such. Next, we worked on our songs for our next concert. We started with a tune called "Dragon Run." It was a little slower than how we usually play being in Wind ensemble.

We then moved on to play another song then our next song. Surprisingly Band class went by faster than usual. We started to put away our equipment while Mr Richard's did the announcements.

"Seniors! Dont forget 12:30 we have our Senior celebration in the cafeteria!" He said.

I went over to where my sister, Phoebe was at and gave her a hug from me behind. "Let go of me!" she complained

"Oh cmon, you know you love me." I said trying to give me a kiss which she ducked away from.

"Eww! Let go!" I let  go of Pheobe as she walked a few steps away and crossed her arms.

"You know you should be nice and spend time with me before I ship out." In a few more months I would be shipped out to boot camp. I had been training for a while. "You know you will miss me." I said folding my arms.

Phoebe grinned and shook her head. The bell rung, which means time for Spanish.  "Have a great day! You all are amazing!" Mr Richards yelled out as we walked out of the band room. Phoebe followed me and slung her arm around my shoulder.

"No! Dont touch me!" I mocked, doing what she was doing earlier.

"Haha very funny." She said. I wrapped my arm around her as we walked through the halls of McCollum High School. We walked for a while passing slow people. Until we made it to my class. I gave Pheobe a hug.

"Ill see you at the end of the day. We will meet in the cafeteria. I Love you." I said

"Love you too, see you later!" Phoebe called as she started to walk away and I headed into my Spanish class.

Then the Tardy bell rung as the teacher entered the classroom. "Hola Clase!" Mr. Beach said as he entered the classroom. "Please get out your notebooks we will be taking notes." I dug in my bookbag and pulled out the Red notebook and opened it to a fresh new page and wrote the title and today's date.

We copied what was on the board. I took out my highlights and started highlighting notes and making them look good. We did them for a while. Mr. Beach took a 5 minute break to let us catch up so I finished what I was highlighting then looked up to see what I did. A lot of it was review for a test about things that we learned in all 4 years of spanish. We took so many notes over the last few days. But it will be worth it for the test we have on Monday.

We did more notes after that for a while before the bell rang for 4th period. I looked at my watch. 10:16. In a few hours the senior celebration would start, I was excited. It was going to be the best.
