Chapter 2

*few notes before I start:

• there is a ch. 1. if you didn't read it, go search it up..
• as said before, no one i know is in it, so as to avoid hurt feelings.
• thanks for reading! :)

Usually Friday nights are for relaxing and just hanging out with friends and family. But of course there's exceptions.

And I was one of them. Last year, I spent some of my Fridays at Thomas High School, playing my violin with all the other exceptions. We were total Orch dorks.

Everyone there was middle schoolers gathered for Region. It's an event where all Orchestra students in the district auditioned to get into a Region Orchestra: Philharmonic was for sort of good people, and Symphony was for the best. After you get into an orchestra, you then compete with the people in your section to see where you sit for the concert.

Basically, you waste 2 whole weekends of your life seeing how good you are within the district. I was in Philharmonic... I wasn't the best, and I'm still not now. But I was proud, because I made Region. And that's all that mattered, right?

After we chair - tested, I got 3rd chair 1st violin, so I was pretty much in the front. The only thing that burst my bubble of happiness was who I was sitting by - this guy named Adrian Fu.

Adrian was...cool, I guess. He never talked to me, and if he did, they'd be 1 or 2 word answers. He went to my school (Belkins MS), so I kind of knew him, but every time I was around him I got the feeling that he's rather be alone. He was a LONER. *Hehe sorry Michelle had to put that in there. :)

You could even tell that when he was around his friends; he'd be with them, but...detached at the same time. It's a wonder how he even got friends, since he looked and acted so dark. But Adrian was never mean, just silent.

I should've known something was up when it actually snowed this year. Even though it was just lightly, it was a delight to know that we got to witness such weird weather that'll probably happen only 2 or 3 times this century. It was comparable to winning a raffle contest, or find a $20 bill on the ground.

Either way, this snow was like an introduction to a life - changing even for ALL of us Region students.

*again, thanks for reading, visiting, etc. comments and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism would be welcome, but not random cussing...please continue to visit the blog! :D
