I Can't Wait For The Day, chapter 5
[Tre's POV]
Period one is OVER! Haha! That's one down, four more to go until I am FREE!
Next is band. Hey, that chick Billie likes is in that class. What was her name? Jane? Josie? I don't know. I wonder what she plays. Probably some girly little flute or clarinet or something. What's the point of being in a band if you don't get to hit anything with sticks? It's the best possible way to relieve stess, too. Hitting something as hard as humanly possible. Yup, I'm a drummer. Hey, there she is!
"Hey Tre!" she calls.
"Hey!" I yell back. She comes over to me and I ask her what instrument she plays.
"Drums, auxilary percussion, and mallet percussion." she replies. Wait, she's a drummer? Oh, she's got some competition here. I tell her that and she laughs.
"Good luck even trying to get to play the drum set. The teacher's a bitch, there are now six of us and no one gets it, it's all shit like timpani and chimes and wood blocks," she tells me. Great. How can they have six percussionists and no drum set? Stupid teachers.
So I meet the competition. Some guy that looks like a frog, some other guy, some crazy guy, and a girl that keeps giving Judy and I gobstoppers. Judy tells me that the nice ones are Jake and Maria, crazy guy and gobstopper girl. Sounds like some kind of superhero.
Crazy Guy and Gobstopper Girl to the rescue.

"So, what do you think of shit school?" I ask Tre. He laughs.
"Pretty girls. Not you, I mean, somebody else." he says. Hey!
"You're saying I'm not pretty? Fine, I'm just gonna go cry in the corner and not eat for a week." I say sarcastically. He laughs.
"Does that mean I can have your lunch money?"
"Let me think.... NO!" I say.
"Aw, but I wanna buy candy!" He says stubbornly.
"I'll share my candy," I finally say. He shuts up. Finally.
"So, you said the girls here are pretty. Which one are you talking about? I hope it's not one of the slutty bitches, as more of them are just that." I say.
"No, I think this one is a friend of yours.." he says.
"I KNEW IT!" I shout. I knew something was up, he wasn't trying to have a staring contest with Mona in the hall, I knew it! I knew it! But just to make sure I ask, "Mona, right?"
"Yeah," he says. "She's hot!"
"Well, you seem like a good guy, but treat her nice and I'll put in a good word for ya." I say. "You might have to buy me some candy, too."
