There has been two more weeks of been practice and now it is band camp.
My dad is currently pulling up to the high school so we can load the buses to go.
He pulls up and stays in the car knowing I don't need his help.
"Bye dad." I say
"Have fun" is all he says.
I get out of the car and pull my suit case and sousaphone out of the bed of his truck.
I drag them to the big loading truck then enter the band room.
"BELLLAAA!" Ian screams nearly tackling me
"IANNN" I mock
"sucks for you I'm sitting by Noah on the bus!" Ian smirks
"Well I'm sitting by Aj. Sucks for you. " I try to copy his smirk, doesn't work.
"Bella bear, are you implying that I'm gay?" He pretends to be hurt then skips off. skips. that boy.
Mr. Williams stands by his desk with a microphone... Ohh cool is that new?
"FLUTES, PIC'S , CLARINETS AND PIT BUS ONE!" He yells quite loudly in the microphone
A crowd of people shuffle away.
"SAXOPHONES& TRUMPETS BUS TWO!" A larger group shuffles out the doors
"TROMBONES, EUPHONIUMS, MELLOS, MISCELLANIES AND PERCUSSION BUS 3"
"Sousaphones you'll be riding on bus 4 with just you four and Seth and some requirement as part of a reward for wining spirit week! Then bus 5 is myself and band parents!"
I follow my section to the bus, no one is on our bus. it is awesome.
We end up going to the very last seats, me by Aj and Ian by Noah.
"Don't seduce the small girl" seth says from the seat in front of us.
"I wouldn't! " Aj says
"Yeah that's Noah's job!" Ian chimes in.
"Are they a thing?" Seth asks Ian like we're not here
"Well not yet. But me and Aj will make it happen." Ian replies.
"Okay I'm cool with making out, but any farther than that and I'll move the boy to the front" seth says facing me
"You should worry about Ian and Aj, they're getting pretty serious" I reply
"Wow Bella" Aj laughs.
Seth sets a bag by the emergency exit, then lies down in the aisle.
"Nighty night." he then slides head phones on.
Once the bus takes off Ian screams "WE ON THE SWAGGER BUS."
I put my ear buds in and lean my head against the window listening to blink 182.
My music stops with a text alert. I check the text Ian texted me...we are legit 3 feet away from each other!?
The text reads
"BELLA!! Why are you sad"
I reply
"I'm not."
He replies but I don't read it I go back to my music.
*2 hours later*
Once the bus stops at a huge building we all pile off. apparently the staff put our stuff in our room, and instruments in a building)
They gave us a schedule and we have two hours of free time before practice. Im glad cause all I wanna do is take a nap to be honest.
I trudge up the stairs and into the room I was assigned too. Grace is there already
"Hey!" She smiles as she unpacks
"Hey." the room has two single beds a dresser and literal mini fridge. I open my suit case and make my bed.
I don't bother organizing clothes or anything, I just collapse onto my bed.
Seems about thirty seconds later Grace is waking me up
"We have 30 minuets until practice. " she says shyly
"Okay thanks" I yawn standing up.
I end up wearing a short sleeve shirt that has star trek on it, Jean shorts and black converses. I leave my hair down since it's not marching practice
"Your section seems so fun" Grace comments as we begin to walk to practice
"Why's that?" I wonder, sousaphones are frickin heavy
"You all seem so close. " she stutters
"Mellophone seems really fun to play." I state
"It is. It sounds amazing. you probably can't hear us since you play such a loud instrument."
We then reach the practice area, she walks to her section and as I begin to walk to mine I hear a "HEY!" Followed by "female sousaphone."
I turn around to see Seth coming up to me.
"We shall become friends." He States
"Okay.. do you my name?" I question
"Negative."
"It's Bella" I inform him. he hands me his phone opened to contacts.
I enter my number and name then hand it back.
"Well Bella, welcome to the family that is band."
