I was walking in the corridor, my trombone case in hand. I play in the school band, and I had to bring it to school for rehearsals.
I saw Xander walking towards me.

"Hi," I smiled.
"Hey," he answered. "What are you doing with this?"

He pointed at my trombone.

"It's my trombone," I explained. "I have band practice later on."
"Huh," he commented, looking intrigued.
"It's a musical instrument. It's kind of like a big trumpet," I described.
"Oh," he said.

It was a plain "oh". Or was it a bored "oh"? Maybe he thinks I'm boring. Or maybe it was admiring "oh". Maybe he's amazed by the fact that I'm playing an instrument. Nah. It was probably a careless "oh", because he doesn't give a damn about what kind of instrument I play. What if he thinks I was too nerdy because I play in the school band? And what if he thinks I'm so nerdy that he doesn't want to be seen with me anymore? Or, what if I scared him away because he has a deep fear of trumpets and I told him it was a giant trumpet! What if...

Ok, I should stop now. It was most likely just a plain "oh".
