Ok, so let's just go over this briefly.

Brandon, he is my boyfriend.

The other boys are my best friends.

As of the last chapter, we are in the summer of 2013.

And I shall move onward

Ah, the start of eighth grade. I was hoping it would be my best year.

Those kids who were marching band, their season would end in November.

I was so excited to found out that a lot of my band friends were in my block (section of eighth graders).

Lunches were annoying. All they EVER talked about was their time in band.

If I tried to bring something up, then I'd get another conversation that I didn't know what they were talking about. It felt like they were pushing me away on purpose.

Two of them were in my section, the alto saxophones: Brandon and Kaelyn.

Ironically (and of course), they talked about band the most.

All I ever heard was them playing that season's music.

Over

And over

And over again.

I started to hate band.

I joined band to make friends and enjoy music.

Not to get left out.

I had that feeling of emptiness inside.

My mother would argue with me a lot too.

I would trap myself In my room and cut.

I had given Brandon my scissors so that maybe I could stop cutting, but I found a box cutter instead.

And it worked faster than the scissors with better results.

One day I found a pocket knife, and I pretty much stabbed my thumb.

I did too many things like that. So much blood.

I would text Brandon about it. He cheered me up a countless amount of times.

Without him, I'd be a mess of scars.

The season had started slowing down in November, but the way they talked about it in December made it sound like it was starting again.

Alone.

I tried not to talk to anyone sometimes.

A lot of times I would run into the bathroom during practice and cry.

It made feel better to cry.

I just never understood why people have to be that way.

It hurt so much inside...

Eventually (gladly), they stopped talking about marching band.

I like to do my own thing, which I learned from separating from them. I just hate it when it gets interrupted.

I don't sing at home. Whenever I get a chance, I like to go over to the piano and figure out some chords to put behind some singing.

But guess what?

Whenever I go to play, so does the others. Therefore, I get to play for about a minute. Woohoo.

I'm apparently very unlucky.

It's not fair...
