"Y-yes.." Ally sighed setting her guitar down and walking out head hung.
Once she had left the room and the soft sound of the door closing hit everyone's ears the room erupted with conversations. "Did you hear that?" One girl whispered. "Was that original?" A boy muttered. "Sounded amazing!" One girl said to the others around her.

"Ally, that playing was--" the teacher paused for half a second but to Ally it was an eternity. She braced for a hit and blocked her face. "Amazing." The teacher continued, "What are you doing?" He gently moved her hands down, "I would never hurt you!"
A small smile formed on Ally's face as she breathed easier. "It's just something I wrote..."
"You wrote that?" The teacher looked surprised and happy, "You should be a songwriter!"
"I- I am."
"What's the band name? Or is it a solo thing?"
"It's a hobby."
"You should look into making it more than that."
"I will."

No one mentioned anything from that point on, not until lunch.
