    Anthony. My gaze fell on him, sitting there across the room. He was talking to other members of the trumpet section. One of them whispered something and he turned to look at me, my gaze dropped instantly to the history book in my hands.

    "Why don't you just ask him out?"

    Dee asked as she elbowed me hard in the side."You're the one to talk" I murmured to her, glancing in Nate's direction.

    Her face went red as she blushed and almost screamed "Shut up!!" Several people looked at us and we laughed.

    Nate was another of our friends. Dee had known him since first grade, far longer than me who only met her in seventh. But Nate and Dee were like made for each other, two parts of a whole

    "Anyways.." I said, leaning back against the lockers, propping the book onto my knees and began scribbling down words onto the chapter outline that was due at the end of the day "1.) He would never like me, and B.).." I paused, realizing I had messed up but shook it off and continued " He's Kamryn's boyfriend..."

    Dee made a disgusted snorting noise and crossed her ankles, leaning back on her hands. Kamryn was a very petite junior in the colorgaurd, she had once been our friend but had lost all of our respect by lying and making our friend Anya love someone who wasn't even real. Ever since we avoided her

    " She doesn't deserve him" Nate said suddenly, staring blankly at the marching banner hanging on the wall above my and Dee's heads. We looked at each other then back at him.

    Suddenly our band director called us all to attention. The three of us jumped to our feet, falling into attention and I almost laughed 'Gawd we are such band geeks'

    He gave us the schedule for the next week, a practice, football game and a Saturday parade. The usual. Ugh. Then the bell rang, dismissing us for lunch.

    We all sat back down on the floor in one swift movement just as Anya walked in, her boyfriend Kai following behind her. Though she wasn't in the band she always seemed to be a part of it, always at ease around the chaos of it all. She plopped down randomly like she always did, putting her legs over Dee's and I soon put mine atop of her's. Her and Dee looked at Kai and Nate who seemed, in my opinion, quite jealous. We laughed.

    " So.." she said taking a bite of her banana, when she swallowed she continued "Hows things with the um...project?" She tilted her head back in Anthony's direction.

    I groaned. "Not you too..." I looked back over at Anthony. He was still talking to his friends and didn't seem to notice me this time. His hair was a beautiful golden brown and went to his shoulders and framed his face well. His eyes were also brown but such a dark shade that from far away could easily be mistaken as black. All around, he was gorgeous.

    I sighed. "Kamryn has already told me that he doesn't like me.." I poked at my sandwich "She's asked him and every time he seems totally appalled by the very idea..

    Both Dee and Anya rolled their eyes, "Never know til you try" Kai said as he draped an arm over Anya's shoulders.

    I sighed and laid my head against the locker. Staring up at the ceiling, i took a bite of my sandwich thinking..

    Suddenly Anthony was crouching next to me, his trumpet balancing on his knees. "Hey guys" he said smiling brightly "Whats up?"

    I froze, my heart leaping up into my throat. Dee and Anya both turn toward each other and giggled, Kai and Nate just shook their heads leaving me to answer him

    "Nothing much" I finally managed to say and Dee and Anya laughed even harder. I glared at them.

    He nodded and stared at the floor rocking back in forth on his heels. "So your party is coming up huh Dee?" He asked not really looking at her

    Dee sat up and smiled "Yup next weekend! I'm finally gonna be sixteen" This made me and Anya burst up laughing "Elle est une babe" I whispered to her.

    Dee was the youngest of our bunch, besides Sammy who was a freshman colorgaurd girl. But Anya and I were already sixteen, even if my birthday was only a couple days ago.

    "Shut up Iz!" she growled swatting at me.

    I rolled backwards, hitting my head on the lockers. Which only made them laugh harder, the guys included

    I couldn't help but look at Anthony, his smile warmed my heart even if it was only because of my stupidity

    Then the bell rang. Anthony stood holding his trumpet in one hand. "Thats the bell, I have to go. Psychology" he said like it answered everything. He placed his instrument into it's case and then into his locker. I watched him leave the band room and once he was out the door, I sighed.
