His hands.
The hands that keep the whole band together. How much I wished to hold them.
His eyes.
The beautiful forest green orbs that watched over us, both on the field and off. How much I wanted them to look into my own, drowning me in endless happiness.
My name is Scarlet Miller, and I'm here to tell you how I fell in love with the drum major.
(This will contain a lot of band vocabulary, as it is a book greatly involving band, if you don't know what a term means, don't be afraid to ask! I don't bite!)

The month they had spent together had felt like a lifetime, and now it was being ripped away from them. "I'm gonna miss you," Caleb whispered, his breath lingering on Aaron's neck. Aaron nodded, his hand resting in Caleb's shaggy, blond hair. "Me too," he answered, his voice coming out just as soft. "Thank you for a great summer," Caleb tried his hardest to smile, blinking away any tears that threatened to fall. And in that moment the world seemed to pause.
