Uneventful Day

Today I had an terrible day. So many bad things happen today. This is my story:

The day before, I opened up the band store using the key provided by the teacher. I couldnt find any teacher and my members kept pestering me to open up the store. I had group study later in the afternoon, so i waited for the teacher. At last the teacher came and I ask for the keys. I immediately open the door and kept the key. Then I rushed for my group study. After my group study which ended at about 5.30 pm, I went back home without locking the door of the store and returning the key! I realized my mistake when I reached home. NO one is allowed to bring back home the band store key. I was so desperate.


The next morning, I tried to open the door early to avoid the others and drum major knowing that I brought back the keys. But to my astonishment, there was a padlock on the door! I knew from then on that I was doomed. They knew that I forgot to lock the door and used a padlock instead. I tried to see the teacher but since it was early in the morning, she was not there. Then the drum major arrived and asked me for the key.
Hoping that he would understand my situation I explained what happen. But to my surprise, he did not supported me or console me or even advised me. Instead, he mocked and laughed and saying that I was doomed! What an asshole! A good friend of mine doing this to me. Im new in this field and i tend to make mistakes and he cant possibly to that to someone. I was SO ANGRY but I contained it.


The teacher came late, so we couldnt play our National Anthem on that day. I came to see the teacher and apologized and she forgive me since this is my first time. The whole band can't play National Anthem because of me. I felt soo bad. I feel even worse when my friend, THE band major came up to me time and again to demoralize and discourage me. He simply doesnt know when is the right time to joke and be serious. He came from a broken family recently and some of my good friends came to console him and tell him again and again not to give up when times are tough. We gave him so much advice and this is how he repay me!!

WE majors are supposed to be united and one. When one of the major have a problem, the other majors will be affected too. He just pushed the blame on me on any mistakes i do. Im solo!!

Even the promotion ceremony, I PLANNED EVERYTHING. He doesnt do anything. My teacher scolded me 2 days before the promotion ceremony because the comittees havent planned anything for the ceremony. I was left there with the teacher, explaining everything, while he just sits at one corner. He is such a "unique" friend.

A friend who takes you for granted, demoralize you, mock you and discourage you and bully you when he has an opportuniy. A friend whose emotions control him, he who explodes when he is angry, puts blame one others.
