Last year, my parents moved to this town. I had to go to a new school and found no one to be friends with because I wasn’t interested in the topics most of my classmates liked.

“Maybe I’ll never have real friends,” I thought.

I closed my eyes and imagined playing my drums. Suddenly, I heard the sound of a guitar.

I followed the sound and found out that was a band. I recognized the guitar player at my first sight and so did he.

“Hey, you’re Cassie from my class!” his voice surprised me.

“I’m sorry,” I said. “I just haven’t heard any live music in this town before! You sound great—did you guys write that song?”

“Yeah—well, we’re still working on it. I’m Matt.” He stood up and held out his hand.

“Mind if I listen in?” I asked in a low voice.

“Not at all,” Matt said, smiling. “Maybe you can give us some suggestions!”

The song was pretty good and I could really improve it with my drum skills. Behind my drum set was the one place I felt completely like myself. But I wasn’t sure if I wanted to open that door to the world.

“Hey, do you play drums?” Matt asked suddenly.

His question surprised me. How did he know? And then I followed his eyes to my hands, which had been beating a rhythm(节奏) on the floor. I tried to say no, but my heart stopped me from refusing. “Sure, I’ve been playing for a few years,” I said finally.

“Oh, wow! You’ve got to join us!” Matt said. “I have some drums over here.”

I looked at their shiny faces. “Absolutely. I would love to play!” I replied.

“One, two, three, four!” Matt counted and began singing, and I knew I was finally home.

After Blondie’s death, Mrs. Andrews went to work every day, feeling upset. She couldn’t help but share the sad news with some of her students at Joshua High School in Joshua, TX, and shortly after, a few of the girls in her class came up with a few surprises to cheer her up.
