The room was mainly blue with white gaps in between. It was a fairly large band room. But with the many musicians enrolled in the program just crowded out the place. However the saying goes the more the merrier.

Jackie a very optimistic girl, brown hair barely average height but she didn't really care. Her smile always shined right through. She was a sophomore at the time when the new freshman class came in. But little did she know one of them would be the love her life.

A spark went off In her later to become a flame of blazing love and passion.

Taran a young boy inexperienced in the life of highschool played euphonium. Jackie was a first chair trombonist so it was inevitable that the too get to know each other. Jared who was also another incoming freshman had great skill in playing trombone so it wouldn't be too long before Jared was seated to the bright young girl that was Jackie. Soon the three musicians became very close.

Over the course of three years the three of them became very close. Jackie didn't make it a habit of making friends of upperclassman because they would soon graduate and leave her behind. And the younger class man were just so immature except for Jared and Taran so they got along quite nicely.

Since Taran had joined the band Jackie would constantly steal a glance at him. And he too at her. They had no clue about how they felt for each other but they knew there was something. However neither one of them would dare acknowledge it.

It was at the Herd review were things got a little bit heated but who doesn't like a little bit of drama. Jackie bumped into taran while roaming around during her break u could say she's a bit of a rebel. Jackie liked walking around in the morning watching her breath in the frosty air as she breathed. Taran was their in the mini quad, however it was him and him alone. They stole a glance at one another and before Jackie even realized it he was already walking over. He grabbed her by the waist and gently pushed her against the wall. With one hand holding up her chin taran leaned in towards Jackie looking into her eyes and slowly pressed his lips against hers.

They were both consumed by the kiss completely unaware of their surroundings. So it was completely astonishing when they heard a grunt. They both quickly turned to see Jared standing there.

"someone's looking for you", he said to Jackie completely ignoring Taran. Until Jared slowly turned around ready to walk off and gave a quickly deadly glance at taran, but just for a second. Taran had no clue the anger that blazed behind Jared's eyes.

Jared walked away and Jackie quickly ran to catch up to him.

"Jared please don't tell anyone about what u saw." She said so eagerly.

"of course", he said with a bright smile .

"really?" She said in confusion, "why would do that for me?"

" because I care a great deal for you Jackie blanchette. And I wouldn't want to see that big old smile of yours to go away."

Jackie embraced him,"your one of my best friends Jared Fung, I hope you know that",she shrieked in delight and ran off in joy.

And under his breath in the cold morning air, with just barely enough sunlight in the sky for him to see his breath as he whispered to himself," you are so much more to me Jackie blanchette than you will ever know but maybe for know its best you didn't know."

"Jared who did you say was looking for me again?" Jackie yelled far from where Jared stood.

Jared ran towards her to go catch up and said," I have no clue but he had a really weird nose."

Jackie laughed that laugh Jared loved so much and the two had lengthy conversation about the mystery mans very odd and peculiarly shaped nose.
