The text is a dialogue from a character named May, who is revealing a series of personal experiences and emotions. May was raised in a strict, military-like environment by her parents. She was heavily involved in activities such as chess, horseback riding, and classical piano lessons. However, she felt lonely and exhausted due to the intensity of her schedule.
In middle school, May's life took a turn when she was hit by a snowball and tackled to the ground by a girl named Charlotte. This incident led to a friendship between May and Charlotte, who were poles apart in their lifestyles. Charlotte was more relaxed and artistic, while May was more disciplined and academic.
As they entered high school, May and Charlotte formed a rock band with Adrian, a boy May had known since childhood, and Caleb, the school's parade drummer. May initially played classical music, but being part of Charlotte's rock band was more fun. She also became friends with the boys, especially Caleb, who often asked her for help with math.
However, May started to develop feelings for Adrian, which she initially kept to herself. She felt nervous around him and had a strong urge to kiss him. This led to a series of confessions among the group, with May, Charlotte, and Adrian all admitting their feelings for each other.
May's parents unexpectedly showed up at the Battle of the Bands, where May's band won first place. They were shocked to discover that May was in a rock band and not competing in a chess tournament. They apologized for not supporting her and expressed their pride in her.
In the end, May decided to take a break from the band to get over her crush on Charlotte. She realized that she missed some of her extracurricular activities and was able to get over her crush. She and Charlotte are now back to being best friends.
