Not an ordinary teen. Princeton Love Story.

Chapter 5: Peace Signs.

Last Period: Music

She was across the room. Just sitting there in the back of the class. She wanted to sit next to me but that seat was already taken and the girl wouldn't give it up. So Serena went in the back. "She's the first friend I've ever had since Justice"  I thought to myself. I smiled alittle with the thought of her. I looked behind me towards where she sat. She looked up at the board and then me smiling. Butterflies. That's what I felt in my stomach. I smiled back and she giggled so I turned back around. That's when the teacher, Mr. Collin, spoke "Serena, I came to understand that in your old school you were one of the top singers." My eyes widen. She sung too?! Everyone eyes were glued on her including mine. She nodded and shyly smiled. "Yes, sir. Well, that's what they told me. 

        "Well, would you mind showing us your vocals?" Mr. Collin insisted

For that one time I spoke in the class. "Yeah! Come on sing Serena!" I cheered.

      Now everyone eyes were on me. Did I do something wrong? What.... I just smiled at her. I heard another voice say "YEAH! Show us!" Then another! "Come on!" Soon it was the whole class "Show us! show us! Show us!" She was so embarrassed. So she said "Okay Okay Okay! I'll sing." She got out of her seat and walked in the front of the class. Right in front of me. She looked at me. I nodded. And then she looked at Mr. Collin. He nodded. Then she began singing. 

 Skies are crying, I am watching

Catching teardrops in my hands

Only silence, as it's ending, like we never had a chance.

Do you have to make me feel like, there's nothing left of me?

You can take everything I have

You can break everything I am

Like I'm made of glass

Like I'm made of paper

Go on and try to tear me down

I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper

 She hit every note perfectly. Hitting her thigh on a steady note and swaying back and forth with her eyes closed at times. Wow she sounded beautifully. When she finished the song, there was dead silence for a second then extreme clapping. She smiled and blushed. I stood up and started clapping. She laughed and came over to me and hugged me tight. I hugged her back. He hair smelled good. She finally let go and smiled I smiled back. OMG So much smiling today! She looked at me as if she was admiring me. So I looked down she then ruffled my puff and then walked back to her seat. 

End of the day: Lockers 

I was at my locker 142. When Ray, Chres, and Craig walked over and slammed it shut. My finger almost got caught! I turned around in fright. I was shaking alittle but I tried not to show it.

"What's up afro puff?" Ray said with a smirk.

I didn't say anything.

"Nigga! You heard him! He said what's up!" Craig yelled getting in my face.

Then I heard Serena's voice in my head "You gotta stand up for yourself, you're a human too"

I smirked and then looked back at the boy.

"Why?" i said

"What?" Chres paused

"Why do you pick on me? Why do you harass me? What did I do to you?"
