One time at band camp...

Summer Band Camp 2013

Lauren's POV: I begged my mom to go the summer band camp this year. I was obsessed with playing the saxophone. Well I missed my audition and when I showed up late they made me audition in another room right on the spot. Without saying a word the instructor placed me second chair right next to Alonso. I ended up with his number through a funny prank call and then we managed to stay in contact over the phone. He saw me a couple times before I left for college and then when I'd come home over break occasionally. There were several periods of time where we didn't talk, but winter break during my junior year at college he finally got the courage to ask me on a date (after some nudging on my part). Everything just fell into place despite many months of long distance, and now here we are today!! Alonso's POV: I didn’t care to go to band camp, I went because my friend wanted me to room with him and because my school would pay for it. I was second chair for a whole 15 minutes before Lauren walked in late and made everyone move down a chair, relegating me to third. But, because first chair was on time he refused to move so Lauren sat next to me in second. It was an interest in playing music inspired by my older brother, a best friend’s insistence, a stubborn first chair’s refusal, a friend of a friend’s kind offer, a broken AC unit in the South Texas summer, a prank call, so many decisions made by generations before us that I’d even dare to say it was Devine Providence that led a boy to a friendship with a girl who runs on her own time. I hope you’ll be a witness to a friendship that turned into a budding relationship set to bloom when our two lives are joined as one
