So, two days ago, just this past Thursday, at pep band, i was engaged to, cheated on, and robbed by the same guy! It's a bit of story so here we go- It started out as any other pep band. Earlier than expected. The sheet they gave us at the beginning of the year said to be there by six and the board in the band room said the same thing so even when i arrive there a quarter before six, they've already moved into the gym! It made me so angry but there is nothing i could do about it. I wasn't the only that was late, in fact, there were others later than me. Anyway, around 3rd quarter we get a break and get to go to the lobby or band room, maybe visit the concessions stand. However, this was a girl's basket ball game so the concessions stand was closed! Yes, it was closed!! I felt kinda bad for the girls playing. Not nearly as many people show up for their games as the guys' games. My teacher made me count the people in the pep band and the people in the stands to compare numbers. There were 70ish people in the stands (including both teams' parents and spectators and band parents) and 33 people in pep band! It was kinda saddening. Anyway, when I was in the lobby, I was with my usual group and we just stood around talking. Then, the french horn player from my ensemble realized he had McDonald's in his band locker and ran off to go get it cuz he hasn't had supper yet. Well, it was about time for 4th quarter to start so my group headed for the gym. A few minutes later, here came the french horn player with McDonald's. After playing a couple of songs, the french horn player came over to where i was standing (they didn't pull out the bleachers for us so we were all standing in a corner for the whole game), got down on one knee, and held up a french fry with both hands. I took it, playing along, and people were laughing and stuff but then he goes over to a guy in the drum line and does the exact same thing! Our drum major stuck up for me saying "Don't cheat on [Feconi]!" And smacked him. Then, when it was all over, we all headed back to the band room to put our instruments away and head home. Well, my mom was there talking to another mom and she also wanted to make sure most of the students got a ride home so i was going to be there for awhile. I went to my locker to get some stuff i needed for french homework when the french horn came and stole the magnets out of my locker! He started stuffing them through the vent holes in his locker and there wasn't much i could do, not that i really wanted to do anything. Then, a crowd started to gather trying to give him advice on how to stuff my magnets into his locker without opening it because they would always stick to the locker. So i stood there getting what i needed from my locker and he had opened his locker to just put my magnets on the inside of his locker door and he headed back to the band room. When I got to the band room, he was laying on his back in the middle of the floor and i thought about how i just needed something to throw at him. The only things i had in my pockets though were my wallet and my camera. I wasn't about to throw my camera so i took out my wallet and chucked it at him, right in the stomach. Now that he had my wallet he said he was going to steal all my money. It was only fifty cents so i let him take it. Later that night, after my mom and i left, we went to Target to get him a magnet of his own. The only magnet i could find though was a pink cupcake photo frame!! Oh well, this way i could make it funnier then originally planned. When I got home, I put a picture of Miss Piggy in it and wrote a note saying:
Dear [French Horn Player],
I went out and got you a very manly magnet of your own because you kept stealing mine. I even put a picture of your dream girl in it (we all know how you're the president of her fan club).
Sincerely,
[Feconi]
P.S. I want my magnets back
And the next day (just yesterday actually), I stuck it on his locker. I checked on it a bit before first hour to see if he had found it yet and noticed some people were reading the note!! I got kinda embarrassed because I don't like public attention of any form and ran off... He sent me a text though saying that he got it and then later returned my fifty cents. I'm still missing my magnets though!! Anyway, this is just some of the fun we have at pep band. Thanks for reading. Oh, and i told you how the french horn could be a handful!
