Chapter 1

      YOLO. When I heard from my best friend,  Alex,  that Patrick  would be asking me out that was all I could think. YOLO?!  I mean me and Patrick, we've known each other for quite some time like 7 years?!  He's just my type too!  Volleyball player, football player,  soccer player,  and well does everything he can do to be the best he can which is if I do say so myself is highly attractive!  "So what are you gonna say if he asks you out today?! " I only had a short second to think before the annoying bell rang for 1st hour. "I guess I'll know when it happens." Of course my first hour is Jazz band with….. Patrick. When I walk into the door I know I'm no where else but the band room because even from down the hall I can hear James on the drums. James is a close family friend,  we've known each other for a long time,  in fact Patrick James and I have been good friends from kindergarten to now, so us being soft mores,  its been a good couple of years. I walk in and I don't see Patrick yet, which is strange because he's always in there before me. James jumps up from the drum set and runs over to me. "So did you hear?.. " James winked at me like he knew that I had "heard " whatever he was referring to. "Heard that your a douche yes! " I was just kidding and he knew I was but he was being kinda serious which was weird for him. "Thanks. But thats not what I'm talking about,  I mean did you hear that Patrick is gonna ask you out today?! " "Why do you know this?! " I started getting mad because Patrick is going around telling everyone but,  CC, me,  the girl he's gonna ask out,  that he was gonna ask me out like oh yes your gonna win my heart. "Everyone knows,  so what are you gonna say?! " "Well I'm probably just gonna say.. " The band room door opened and in walked Patrick in a suite… and with flowers….. and with what looked like a chocolate box. I walked away from James quickly,  acting like I wasn't just talking to him. I walked over to the cubbies in the band room,  where we kept our instruments. I started to get out my saxophone and put it together. Patrick walked right over to me,  not even making fun of Mr.  Widley's beard like he normally does.. No. Not today. Today he walked right over to me and sat on the ground right next to me. "Hey CC.. I was thinkin about…" There was a loud thud on the band room door,  everyone jumped out of their skin and suddenly became silent. Mr. Widley came out of his office and went to open the door. A sound came when the door opened and Mr. Widley stepped outside. A cracking noise. A strange man in all black,  but a red bandana stepped into the room and shouted. That cracking noise was the sound of the man's gun hitting Mr. Widley on his bald head. "Get the fuck down!  If you want to live do what I say! " I looked at James. This couldn't be real. My school, of all schools. No this isn't real. Yes it is. An intruder.
