Alex's P.O.V


I woke up the next morning feeling surprisingly not tired which never happens. I took a shower last night so I just had to do my hair today I felt like straightening it. I straightened my hair which took about twenty minutes which is shorter than usual. I don't exactly want to go to school but it's the only place that I can not be bothered by an asshole of a Stepfather.

I decided to dress nicely today because why not? I have nice clothes and barely wear them so might as well try this year. I put on a white sleeveless lace skater dress with a little brown belt, a cropped denim jacket, a silver infinite bracelet, and tan ankle boots.

I look at myself in the mirror and give myself a nod of approval. I went downstairs quickly to grab a granola bar and pack my lunch. After that I run back upstairs and grab my backpack and phone. I go back downstairs and walk out the door heading towards school. Like usual it doesn't take long so I'm there pretty early. There isn't anyone out front so I go inside to the library. I go head over to my normal corner and set my bags down.

This time instead of playing on my phone I decided to read my book that I had recently got. I was reading The Mortal Instrument series and I was on the third book which was City of Glass. Normally, if I read a book that's part of a series I get bored by the second book but this one was actually really good.

I was focused on my book until I heard someone come up up and stand in front of me. I look up to see that it was Mr. Stump. I put my book away and smile at him. He sits down on the floor in front of me .

"Okay so I went home last night and got some songs for you. You probably know most of them but I thought they would be good for you to sing which is what we'll be doing today. I know it isn't our class yet but I thought i would let you know." He explains

"That's awesome. I guess we'll have to wait till the end of the day."

"Yep you are correct. Oh, and one more thing I forgot to tell you, If you want to you can call me Patrick. I prefer Patrick in all honesty. Being called Mr. Stump, it makes me feel kinda old to be honest."

I laugh a little bit and nod to let him know I agree. Then something hit me.

"Patrick why are you here so early? You only have me to teach and that's at the end of the day."

"I don't know. I guess I could go couldn't I? Eh oh well I've already checked in so I'm not going back."

"Ummm... okay," I say

"Well I should go to my designated room. See you later Alex," He says standing up and walking away.

I read a little bit more until the bell rings. I quickly put my book up then head to my locker to get everything I would need for my class. I have a feeling this is going to be a long day already.


*Last hour*


It was last hour and like yesterday I headed all the way across the school to get to the room. I walk in and Patrick had a little bit of a different set up today. He still had the stools out but he had a fold table out with papers spread across it. I walk up to them and examine them.

"So these are all the songs you chose?" I asked in amazement.

"Yep and you can choose whichever one you want to do today just so I can see if you need to work on anything."

I nod and scan across them. The first one was This Is Gospel by Panic! At The Disco which is one of my favorites. I kept running across them until one catches my eyes. I pick it up immediately and go over to Patrick.
