A Nerdy Kind of Love

FINALLY A BRAND NEW CHAPTER! I honestly have no idea where this will go but I bet its going to be great haha.

(Tyler Hoechlin (Left) is Cameron, Tyler Posey (Right) is Neal, and Dylan O'Brien (Middle) is Evan. I'm not the biggest fan of Teen Wolf, but I have seen an episode here and there, so this is exactly who I imagine the crew to be.

____________________________________

5 minutes in and I have already fallen. Literally and emotionally. At least I have someone to lean towards now.

"So, what are your ages and grades?" Nicole asks.

Cameron starts, "I'm a senior, so 17."

"I'm 16, a junior," Neal continues.

"And I'm a sophomore. 15" Evan concludes.

"I am also the section leader of all of us, but I promise, I'm totally chill." Cameron states proudly. "Us and the other trombones are probably the most laid back people you will meet in this place." We laugh.

I was about to ask about other people until we were interrupted by Mr. Todd, our band direct.

"Band, ten hut!" He shouts.

"PRIDE!!" Everyone, besides the little freshman, shouts.

"Rookies, welcome!" Mr. Todd says. "Would you all come up here with your instruments. I have a surprise for y'all."

Me and Nicole grab our stuff and head up to the front. It's kinda awkward becuase everyone is staring at us, but I'm already awkward enough. I can't change much.

"So, the surprise isn't much fun, but it is very helpful to everyone." He continues. "Basically, I'm going to call you one by one and you will receive a name tag. Then you will stand on the podium and say one thing about yourself. It can be anything."

Great. My least favorite part of any meeting. You have to say somthing that will change the world basically. I barley even know my favorite colour. How am I supposed to do this?

"Claire Andrews."

One by one. And I still don't know what to fucking say. Like maybe I can say somthing funny like my shoe size. No, that's lame.

"Amanda Drew."

Wow. I just realized there were like, 10 freshies. This band has over 200 people yet there is only 10. How does that even work?

"Nicole Hope."

She slowly walks up, Baritone wrapped in her arms.

"Umm, I grew up in Canada. I just moved about 2 years ago and I really miss watching the northern lights ever night. But, I definitely don't miss the snow walks to school every morning. California is great!" She states. Everyone laughs and our section in the back cheer very loudly for her, which causes her to blush.

One by one, we all go up. And finally, it was my turn.

"Serenity Zedler."

Of course, I'm last.

"Hi, I'm Serenity..." I still haven't thought about anything. That 10 minuite wait brought nothing to my head, and then I remembered. "I am named Serenity becuase when I was born, I didn't cry. I laughed and smiled up at my brother. Basically, I was 'untroubled' when I was born."

Everyone clapped and I felt alot better about myself. There was a huge smile on my face after that.
But then I saw somthing out the corner of my eye. Jason was staring at me. I looked over at him, and he winked at me. WHAT THE HELL! He is such a flirt, I can't take it. But, I just kept my head up and walked back to our section. Our director said we have about 15 minuites until we started, so we could get to know some people.

"Y'all did great!" Neal said excitedly. "When I did that my freshman year, I said I liked cheese and I had a pet fur ball named Alfred..." He trails off. "Yeah...you did alot better heh." We giggle.

"First impressions are quite important here, for some reason." Cameron says. "Everyone says I gave the best one, saying everyone loves me." Neal rolls his eyes.

"It's just becuase you are attractive." Neal says.

"I wasn't attractive in the 9th grade." He argues. "I was a chub who cooks. That was what I said for my 'first impression'. I absolutely love cooking."

"What's you're favorite thing to cook?" I ask.

"Creme Brulee." He answers with a smirk. "It's one of my best dishes. I'll bring you some. And some for everyone else, of course."

I giggle, "that would be great."

Evan chimes in, "I would like to introduce you two to the rest of 'the crew'."

The crew? What is their crew? I don't really do the whole clique thing.
