Sing It For the World

Chapter 3

I lost my appetite so I got up and dumped my tray still full of food into the trash. Carson did the same except his was empty and walked with me. We left the other guys and took a walk outside under the sunset.

"Wow, no one's ever stood up to Angela like that." Carson broke the silence.

"I realized that." I told him. It started getting chilly and I regretted not brining a sweater. Carson didn't seem bothered by it.

"Seriously. She's always making fun of people and just being..."

"A bitch." I interrupted.

"Yes, but the point is you're the only one that has stood up to her. Now people will admire you more." He explained.

"Look I simply stood up for myself since she just came to me and started being rude. Now can we stop talking about it?" I asked.

"Sorry. So what you wanna do?" He asked.

"I wanna take a tour of the campus." I answered. Even though I already took one I wanted one of the whole place not just the class buildings.

"Then that's what we're doing." He said before taking my hand and dragging me with him. I felt a blush come to my face when he grabbed my hand but luckily he didn't see.

First, he took me to the school library and let me tell you it was epic! It had the European look on the outside. The inside had the fancy and elegant look. It had a staircase that had red carpet with a chandelier in the middle of the staircase and tables surrounded the bottom floor. There was shelves full of books everywhere. I was having the time of my life!

While Carson was talking I just ran off to look at the books. They were all labeled young adults which was my favorite. Carson realized that I left him talking there by himself and came and followed me.

People were sitting in the rectangular tables either reading or writing in their own journals. Then I noticed a shelf with hundreds of books. It was the spotlight shelf for some reason.

"That shelf is full of books that Performing Arts Prep students wrote. They had their own book published throughout the years." Carson whispered into my ear over my shoulder.

"Really? They can get they're own book published?" I asked even more excited than before.

"Yes. Just go ask the librarian how you can get your own book published and she'll explain it to you." He told me.

"I really want to go but I'll go another time. I still wanna roam this awesome library." I whispered literally jumping up and down. The students that were their stared at me weirdly then smiled knowing exactly how I felt.

"You can come back later but let's go give you a tour of the rest of the campus." I nodded, still mesmerized by the whole library while he literally dragged me outside.

We took a while since I was excited about the art studio as well. He had to drag me out of there too. I was sad to leave but then we finished the tour and that's when I got curious of the East side campus. Carson just told me that they were all stuck-up jerks that thought were better than the West side. Angela came in mind but I didn't comment anything.

We went back to the dorm and we found everyone back there. Lizlee was still in a bad mood and Jacob just seemed to be enjoying himself since he was smiling while watching TV.

I thanked Carson and went into my room even though Lizlee was in there. I purposely put my iPod into the speakers I brought from home. Then I put it on loud. Lizlee instantly got mad and left the room slamming the door behind her. Once again I smiled. I laid down on my bed and drew the library with the staircase. I thought it was beautiful so I thought it was worth drawing.
