Clarinets

Chapter 2

My head aches and my eyes were fuzzy. Where were my glasses? Why are the on the floor? OMG!! I fell asleep on the couch and my alarm didn't go off! What time is it?! Ok only 7:15, school starts at 8:15. MOM!! Were late for school. What? What? Oh no. This is not good. " let's go get your clothes on, brush your teeth, etc. I'll get the car starting so we can go to Fred's coffee" Ok I responded and jolted up the stairs, grabbed my new purple shirt and jeans and ran to the white Toyota. Ok order in here and we can just grab the food at Fred's.

    So we ran into Fred's, ordered but the bad thing was that they took forever to make our food. But we got to school on time so it's ok.

    "Ok bye honey i'll pick you up at four" "Bye mom" I said

    I turned and looked at the school I turned around to tell my mom to wait but she was gone.

   I was in the school and looked around. I was a little embarrassed not to be walking around with a friend, like everyone else was.

    I found my locker, number 344. I opened it up and found pencil engravings inside saying, " I love Tommy." I  pulled out my schedule, looked at my first class and rushed trying to find the band room. This should be it. I don't understand. Then suddenly next door I heard the noise of a clarinet. I went in not because of trying to find the band room but because of the pleasant music filling ears. I went into the room and saw a small audience watching a brown haired boy playing his clarinet. I knew all of the notes and the melody was quite easy but there was something about his melody that I liked. When the song ended I realized I had to get to class.

    I don't know what came up in my head, but went straight back stage and asked the boy, "Do you know where the band room is?" Then I realized what I had said, my cheeks glowed red and my heartbeat quickened. "Well It's my first day here" he said. " But I have to go there first period to, We can find it together." Ok, thanks I said. As we walked down the hall he asked what instrument I played. "I play clarinet and i'm guessing you do to"  Yah he responded.  I think this is the band room, he said. And right as we walked in the bell rang. Welcome to freshmen band, I am Ms. Bennett. I want flutes over in the front row and clarinets in this half of the second row. She pointed her precise finger to one half of the second row. I sat down and scene the boy was the only boy playing clarinet he sat beside me. What's your name,  I asked.  I'm Logan. What's your name my name is Paisley. Ok open your books to page one. And plays song one.

    Band class was great me and Logan laughed the entire time, I came back to the real world once we were done in band. I wish Mia was here to meet Logan. We would probably be in the same band class, after all Ii was the one who convinced her to play clarinet.

    I walked out of band . What was my next class I asked myself? I glanced over at my schedule, and saw the word Math written in big bold letters. No I said in my mind. I was walking and walking to the end of the dark hallway. I stepped in, and was scared.
    
I ran out of the classroom, scared for more tomorrow. Math was completely pointless for me. I was going into journalism or law school to be a lawyer. None of which, require any math. But, since my life goal is to go to Yale I have to get a good grade in math. It was fourth period and I was nervous. Fourth period was lunch. I didn't know where  to sit. I got into the lunchroom and since I didn't have any
friends except Mia  I was forced to sid with someone I didn't know.
 
     I saw a group of nice looking girls sitting at a lunch table, so I walked over to them and said, " Hey can I sit here." "No" she responded plain and clear. "Fine I didn't want to sit by a bunch of idiots anyways" And I turned around, just realizing what I had said. My face turned bright pink. These girls will hate me forever and put out a bad word about me. Oh well, let me just go ask another table. Hey can I sit here, I asked a different table. "Yah" a girl scooted over and I asked, "what's your name?", I asked.  I'm Allie. Yah the craziest person you'll ever meet, said another blond haired girl. I only went skydiving once, said Allie. What's your name I asked the blond girl. I'm Sophie. This is Ava,Emma,lia, and Olivia. But I don't expect you to remember them. Yah so over the summer I went skydiving and belly flopped right into the ocean, said Allie. OMG did it hurt? Yeah it did. Hey babe came over a blond haired boy and put his arm around Lia the other girl at the table. Hey Lia said. I got those concert tickets. Great he said then kissing her right on the lips. I was startled I didn't think freshmen kissed. " Hey Lucas get over here" Said some boys from the other side of the cafeteria. That's Lucas, said Lia. Yah I heard. She's totally in love with him, dating for a year now. Are you into any sports... wait I didn't get your name. It's paisley. Are you into any sports Paisley, Asked Allie. Well I'm into volleyball I was on the team last year and hoping to make it this year. Wait how come I don't know you asked Sophie. Well I went to a charter school last year but now I'm here. The bell rang and I sprang of to my next class.
