we were juniors in highschool, your my girlfriend and have been since freshman year. we both joined the band the same year and got together that same year. i played the quads while you played the bass drum

we’re at an after school practice for a marching parade. we took a break and were sitting down. you had your drum between your legs while my drums rested on my legs. i look over at you and tap your arm

“you okay baby?”
