--Zinnia's POV--

After Kevin's crying incident, Luke, the mentioned boy, and I made our way into the band room with Mrs. Keagle, since she had some papers to give us.

We were all congregated outside of her room, waiting until we heard a door open. We did /not/ expect who we saw,"Oh, hey guys."

It was Jay.

When the /hell/ did Jay start playing an instrument?!

"Jay? Why the hell are you here? Are you a percussionist or something?" I asked, looking at the jock.

"Um, sure. Let's go with that. Besides, then I don't have to tell you." Jay said, perking up and grinning.

Kevin gave him a flat look,"Tell me what you play. /Now/." He said, stifling laughter. He was not intimidating.

At all.

Jay raised an eyebrow,"Why's it so important anyways?"

"Because."

"Because why?"

"Oh just tell us what damn instrument you play." Luke cut in, sighing as if annoyed.

Jay laughed, before finally looking each of us in the eyes,"I play the flute." He said bravely, before grinning and bursting into laughter.

Hell, we all burst out laughing. Who would've guessed that /Jay/ a buff jock, would play the FLUTE?!

Priceless.

Luke was the first to compose himself, but some laughs still escaped,"Ok, ok, I definitely heard that right, right?"

"Righty-o." Jay confirmed.

"Why did you choose the flute? Why not something more masculine like the drums or saxophone or something?" I asked, a smirk still on my face after laughing.

Jay shrugged,"Beats me. I didn't know you guys played the..." He looked at our cases,"Violin?" He said, before rubbing his neck.

"Well, we do." Kevin said, shaking his violin case a bit in his hands.

Luke nodded, confirming Kevin's words. Ugh, I couldn't get my mind off of Luke for some reason...

He was so...

Clean.

I liked it.

I mentally scolded myself, a little anyway, before I was brought back into the world by Luke nudging me,"Hey, day-dreamer, we have our sheets. Let's go."

Jay had disappeared, the light in the practice room was on, and I figured he had gone in there. Kevin was standing beside Luke, awkward as usual.

Mrs. Miraglia walked out of her room, beside Mrs. Keagle's and looked at us,"Hello everyone." She said, chipper as always.

We smiled in response, minus Kevin, he seemed shocked there was another person here at all. He stared at the ground, seemingly shy.

We started out of the band room when Mrs. Miraglia was out of sight, in the band room. Slowly but surely, the band kids, including Jay, would start filling up the room.

There's this weird janitor though, his name's Haru or something, that usually is in the band room. Personally, I had no clue why he was in there so much, and frankly didn't care.

We talked along the way to our next classes, until we had to split up, heading to our individual classes.

I felt someone beside me, and looked over,"Pickles." Justine, a friend of mine said.

"What the hell? Pickles?" I asked, laughing.

"Yes. Pickles." Justine grinned.

I looked away for a few seconds, before looking back, and Justine was gone. How does she do that? Damn.

Later, when we were all home, we had a group chat going on with Luke, Kevin, Jay, and I all in it.

Luke and Kevin were spamming, I mean, I was too, and Jay occasionally replied. He didn't seem to care about it all that much.

We were talking about random things, sending random emojis, talking about how dicks are untrustworthy. The usual.

Kevin was flipping out about how he typed "dicks" instead of "ducks".

Jay occasionally said how funny that was.

Luke was being... Luke.

It was relatively normal. Well, as normal as you can get being a group of weirdos.

We stayed up late that night, obviously spamming the hell out of Jay, since he must've fallen asleep. Eventually, we all went to bed, despite it being around midnight/1AM.

In the morning at school, Luke, Kevin and I met up at our lockers, proceeding to talk about random things.

Kevin dashed off when he saw Mitchel and Jay ahead of us, and lept at Jay's shoulders.

Jay laughed, Mitchel joining him and they talked until everyone got to their class, and I went off to mine.

Occasionally my mind would wander back to the perverted side, and I had to clear my head during class, basically just yell at myself till the thoughts left.

They always came back though. Well, too bad, too sad.

Once the class was over, I talked with Justine about another random greeting she used, before disappearing when I neared the small group of Kevin, Luke, Jay, Mitchel, and Taylor.

Taylor and Kevin were loudly ranting about another book,"BUT THEY COULD'VE OBVIOUSLY HAD A SHIP MOMENT IF-" And that's when Kevin noticed me,"Oh, hi!"

"Hey. What're you ranting about this time?" I asked, falling into step beside them.

"A book."

"When isn't it a book, Kevin? I meant what book." I said, rolling my eyes.

Kevin laughed,"Just a book is all." He said again, as if wanting to drop it.

"Alright, whatever." I said, dropping the subject entirely.

We walked in silence, well, minus Jay and Mitchel, who were making dick jokes and talking about random things such as the Game Grumps, Five Nights at Freddy's, ect.

They eventually broke away from each other, Jay heading off to his Latin class.

And that's when the silence hit us. We looked at each other a bit, and eventually I said,"Well, this is awkward."

"Oh, no, I thought it was lively." Kevin joked, laughing and making Luke and I laugh.
