The Mad School

29: Tripping on The Glances.

HAILEE

It's the first day of our foundation week. There's an orange banner that says 'Madaigon@38'. Its like a celebration for the 38 years of Madaigon. I'm here in line with Alexandra and Bliss.

"Hey." Lex greets.

"Hi."

"You good?"

"Yeah."

"So... When can you forgive Em?" She asks.

"I don't really know. But I will forgive her I just don't know when..." Em looks at me. I look at Alexandra.

"Oh ok. I thought you weren't gonna forgive her."

"I'll forgive her even though what she said sort of hurt. But I'm good. Besides Em will always be forgiven even you guys."

"Hey... I heard that Lights Out will be playing at the movie booth later... Want to come with me?" Ok it looks like I'm asking her on a date but I'm not! She's my sissy! Just asking her so we could hang after a week. She smiles at me.

"That'd be greyt!" She shouted and Em looks at me. I look back but turn my attention to our Prinicipal. She was doing a speech.

"Once again Madaigon@38!" And everyone cheered. The pupil government danced to 'Nobody's Better' by Z ft. Fetty Wap

{movie booth}

We got our tickets and got stamped. Its already 12:55 but we went in already. Lots of kids were in the room. We went ahead and sat down on tiles. And the movie started.

In the middle of the movie someone shouted "I'M SO SCARY!" Making me and Alex laugh our heads off. Even the rainbow guy Rone. That grammar tho😂😂.

There were a lot of jump scares and the kids would scream. Nathaniel was at the back and before every scene he shouts to scare the kids. There were curses too. Me and Alex were saying things like when Becca cursed we said 'ooohh'. We were saying lots of things like TMR things and sayings. Diana was damn scary. I would hold onto Alex. Though it should've been... No one.

"That was great!" I shouted after leaving the library.

"Best part was the kid shouting!" Lex said chuckling. I laughed.

"Totally!" I exclaimed. We were putting our shoes back on. We went back to the classroom. I went to my seat and plugged in my earphones. I listened to 'This Town' by Niall Horan. I should play it later when I come home. I don't want people to see me sing or hear me.

*home*

I grabbed my guitar and started playing.

'Waking up to kiss you and nobody's there
The smell of your perfume still stuck in the air
It's hard
Yesterday I thought I saw your shadow running 'round
It's funny how things never change in this old town
So far
From the stars

And I want to tell you everything
The words I never got to say the first time around
And I remember everything
From when we were the children playing in this fairground
Wish I was there with you now

I saw that you moved on with someone new
In the pub that we met he's got his arms around you
It's so hard
So hard

And I want to tell you everything
The words I never got to say the first time around
And I remember everything
From when we were the children playing in this fairground
Wish I was there with you now
