Silence is Suicide.

Silence is Suicide. 

Chapter Five.

I walked down the sidewalk and turned right. I still didn't know where I was going to go. Grandmother's house? No, I couldn't show my face there. Grandfather loathes me. I kept walking. I walked toward my school; people from clubs and such were just getting out. I hoped they wouldn't notice me. 

 I hesitated, but I couldn't help myself from walking up to the large high school. I opened to doors that lead to the music hallway. I paused for a second; a beautiful, quiet voice carried through the hall. I cautiously and slowly made my way down the never ending hallway.

The last room on the right was wide open. In the white room; a tall, slender, fawn brown haired girl was softly singing and listening to her iPod. It looked like she was packing up a small string instrument.

She turned around toward the door and was startled by me watching her. My eyes grew wide and I slipped around the corner. I hid in the costume room behind a rack of clothes. "Fuck, Emerson!" I  scolded myself on the inside, "You can't go around getting caught here. It's suicide."

The girl ran out of the room. I heard her footsteps. They were soft and quick. She was near the room I was hiding in. I held my breath.

"Hello? Who was there? I'm not going to hurt you. Please reveal yourself to me..." she said in a soft voice. 50% of me trusted her word and the other half of me didn't. She looked like a Utopian, for she was too beautiful to be an Uncommon.

I heard her in the costume room. It obviously was the only other unlocked room. "I know you're in here. Why are you so afraid of me? I won't hurt you, I promise."

She leaned against a wall and slid down until she was sitting on the floor. She exhaled. I closed my eyes and exhaled also. Here goes nothing.
