Posted by MoChA Thalia [in the Trumpet section]: Aww, Mr. Randall, I’m touched. I just might cry! [The students laugh] MR: I’m serious, Thalia. I mean it from the bottom of my heart. I want all of you to be safe. And one more thing, I want that performance at the game this Friday to be off the chain and nothing less. Is that understood? All: Yes sir! MR: Ok, well, let’s start practicing. You know we have practice after school next week on Tuesday and Thursday? I just wanted to make sure you all understood me on that one. Plus I’m throwing in practice Wednesday morning at 6am. I don’t care if you have to get up a 4am to get here by 6 but you better be here in your seats by 6am. All the Concert people know this too. I will have the band room open for you. I have cleared this with your wonderful principal, who will be at your Invitational and Homecoming dance. So let’s make a good impression, please. [After Band] Zach [in the brass room]: Well, I’m excited about this week. Are we still dressing alike tomorrow? Thalia: The last time I checked, yeah. What are we wearing, anyway? Zach: I don’t know. How about I come over tonight after work and we’ll figure that out? Thalia: Sounds good. Zach [following Thalia out of the brass room into the courtyard]: So what time am I picking you up, my dear? Thalia: You’re talking about for Saturday? Zach: Yeah. Thalia: Well, the dance starts at 8pm. But since I’m the press, I have to be there at 7:30 to help set up everything in terms of photography. So you won’t need to pick me up. I want you to enjoy your evening, just as long as you save me a dance. Zach: No problem. I got you covered. Thalia: Well, thank you. Zach: You’re welcome. [At Thalia’s apartment that night] Zach [on the couch, eating some pizza]: So what would you like to wear, my dear? Thalia [in the kitchen]: Honey, I don’t care. Whatever you want to do is fine. Zach: Shall I go look in your closet and see what I can find? Thalia: If you think that will help you, go ahead. You’re the one picking out what we’re wearing. I picked last year. Zach: Come help me… [puts his pizza down and walked into her closet] So where to begin? Thalia: Well, that all depends on what you want. Do you want pants, shorts, jersey, or what? Zach: Well, a jersey ‘fit sounds tight. What team though? Thalia: Well, you and I have pretty much the same jerseys so just pick one and I’ll make sure I match to you. Zach: Well, since you’re a KG fan, how about we go as Timberwolves? Thalia: Ok, home jersey or away? Zach: Well, I always said that white brings out your eyes and makes your hair stand out so why don’t we go with home colors. Thalia: Ok, now the bottoms. What are we going to do about those? And what about our feet? We need some shoes. Zach: Well, how about light denim and the new white KG’s from And 1? Thalia: Don’t forget the wrist bands. Zach: You are so perfect when it comes to those details. Thalia: I dress people for a living, baby. I know what I’m doing. Zach: Well, I’m going to run back to my place to get my clothes. Can I crash here for the night? Thalia: If you want. I really don’t care. That’s what I gave you an extra key for. But before you leave, let’s make sure we have this outfit set for tomorrow: authentic KG home jersey, light denim, the new KG’s and the wrist bands. Zach: That’s it. Thalia: But we never did decide on whether or not we’re wearing shorts or jeans. Zach: Um, I guess we can go in jeans. Thalia: Ok, go home and get your things. Zach: Ok, I’ll be back in a few minutes. Thalia: Aight [goes back into the kitchen to finish washing the dishes]. Tell your mom I said hi. Zach: Ok. [He goes back to his house and gets his things. While he’s gone, Thalia finished cleaning the kitchen, lit a few candles, and managed to get a shower in before he got back. She lights the candles because she wants a clean feeling before she goes to sleep. She just sleeps better that way. He came back and she was laying in her bed, watching TV] Zach: Honey, I’m home… Thalia [thinking]: Man, I can’t wait until he says that, and means it for real… [out loud] Ok, I’m in my room. Zach: It smells good in here… [walks into her room] Thalia: Oh, it’s Vanilla Sugar. It relaxes me before I go to sleep. Zach: Are you sleepy, babe? Thalia: Yeah. I had a long day in Yearbook. Mad stuff I have to finish in not enough time… Zach: Sorry to hear that. But there’s one thing I know about you…you’ll get it finished when the time comes. I know that and love that about you. Thalia: Well, thank you, sir…I’m going to bed now. I’ll see you in the morning. You can either sleep in the other room on the futon, the couch or in here. I don’t care. Just make sure the front door is locked and you blow out my candles when you go to bed. Zach: Ok, well, I’m going to take a shower and then hit the sack. Thalia: Whatever. Good night, love. Zach: Good night, baby… [walks over and kissed her forehead] [Thalia turns off the TV and turns over to go to sleep] Zach [in the bathroom, thinking]: Man, I can’t believe I have an extra key to this girl’s place. She trusts me that much. I better not mess this up. That’s my best friend in the other room. She’s been there for me when others haven’t… [he takes a shower and gets himself ready for bed. He walked into Thalia’s room and watched her sleep] [Thalia was in her own little dream world, thinking about Zach] Zach [whispering to himself]: She looks so peaceful when she's sleeping… [he climbs in the bed with her, with just his boxers on] Good night, my love… [he kissed her forehead one more time and went to sleep] Thalia [realizing Zach was in the bed with her]: Zach? Zach: Yes, honey? Thalia: Just making sure it was you… Zach: It’s ok… [pulls her closer to him] I’m here… ~*Well, that’s good enough for right now. I’m going to bed. Find out what happens later. It seems like everything is going good for Thalia but not for long*~

MR: Ok, children, here’s the deal with this whole Homecoming Week thing: as you already know, the schedule has been posted but there have been a few adjustments. We will not have our Invitational Saturday. It’s been moved to next weekend. I just got an e-mail about it last week. They have now confirmed that and all the other schools participating in it are aware. If you are going to the dance, I hope you have fun. Don’t do anything crazy that night, please. I care about all of you like you were my own children…
