Plot 032

Plot 032:
Muse A transfers in to a new school mid-year and has to take an extra-curricular/elective on to appease their parents. Muse A’s instinct is to go for an athletic sport, but tryouts are over and there are no spots open for someone new. There’s only an open chair in concert band. Muse A reluctantly takes the spot, but assumes it’s going to be lame, so they’re prepared to half- it even though they can play an instrument somewhat decently. Muse B is a member of concert band and has been since freshman year; they take band very seriously and music is their biggest passion. Muse A sits next to Muse B during band practice and it’s tense from the start because Muse B can tell that Muse A is taking this as a joke and they’re not amused. Muse A becomes attracted to Muse B, but Muse B makes it clear that they’re not interested and won’t be unless Muse A actually puts effort in and stops acting better than everyone in the band who’s worked hard to keep their spot over the years. At first Muse A determines to try harder merely to gain Muse B’s favor, but gradually they start to enjoy being part of the band.
