A Day Like Any Other

The day started just like every other. Cold bus stop. Warm coat. Noisy bus. Crowded school. Comfortable classes. Great friends.
It was just a normal day for Clarissa.
That is until 7th period, when the events to change her life were set in motion.
Honors Science was the easiest class she and her friends had ever taken. Their teacher was more suited to teach elementary children than Jr. high schoolers. But no one minded the movies they watched or the pictures they drew, 7th period was fun!
Everyone knows that getting to leave class early is the best part of any day, and it is even better if you are authorized by the school to do it!
All the band kids in 7th period honors science left 10 minutes early so they could get to class on time. Walking together to the band room, friendships grew, bonds were made and life was good.
Esther, Alan, David, Hugo and Clarissa .
What a team they made.
"Can you believe we graduate 8th grade next month?" Esther exclaimed skipping backwards to talk to her friends.
"Yeah, then we won't have to walk to the high school anymore. We'll GO to high school!" Wide arms showed David's excitement at the prospect of high school.
"What classes are you taking, Clarissa?" Alan asked her.
"Well, I signed up for band, obviously." She waved her hand as if this were obvious.
"Really, I don't think I am going to play anymore."
"Oh!" A pout formed in Clarissa's lip."what if none of us have any classes together then!" She quickly forgot her pout as Esther pulled her forward to examine her new saxophone case.
"What if You and I don't have a class together." Alan said glumly to himself.
