Sing It For the World

Chapter 39

~Carson~

I was surrounded by many of the students while the vice principal--a firm, sturdy, and warm woman--came out and announced that classes was cancelled and to everyone go back to their dorms. The ambulance had left but the police was still here investigating the scene.

It seemed like a hit-and-run leavind Principal Trevor in the hospital. Many students were crying and I realized that the people who were crying were the seniors. Principal Trevor was like a second father to them. I caught Mikayla's eye just before she ran through the crowd and ran back to the buildings. Jason saw her too and gave me a look telling me to go after her. I did so.

"Mikayla!" I yelled as I made my way through the people. I thought she would go back to the dorm but instead she went inside the art building.

I then bumped into someone. "Oh sorry..." I trailed off when I realized it was Olive. Her eyes were sincere.

"Where are you going?" She asked. I don't know why I answered but I did.

"Going after Mikayla." I answered and then her eyes creased. She still didn't like Mikayla but I didn't like Olive that much anymor after tricking me so what did I care. I tried moving aside but she just blocked my path.

"Can you please move?" I asked politely.

"Not before you tell me why you broke up with me. I still love you..." She started but I cut her off.

"Don't give me that crap. You never loved me. You only used and played me so don't talk to me again." I said and then went back inside the building.

I was lost when I entered. Mikayla was nowhere in sight. The whole hallway was quiet. I started walking down the hall but all I heard was the squeak of my shoes.

I went to the art class but it was emtpy. Classes were cancelled so no one would be in here. Then I continued searching. Where had she disappeared to?

~Mikayla~

I entered the hangout room and just slumped down on the couch. I didn't know what to take of the accident. Why did it have to be principal Trevor? I hadn't even realized this before but he had reminded me so much of my dad before he got rid of me.

So now I was left alone not knowing what to do. I stood up and paced the room until I went to go sit at the piano stool. I was mad so I started hitting the keys on the piano but then realized I would end up messing it up and I didn't want to break anything in the room.

Eventually I sat down and kept replaying the whole accident in my head. Something just didn't make sense. He was leaving the gates when a car crashed into him right? Well how did the car crash into him without seeing the car? The other criver obviously had to see his car coming out?

Then I realized the major thing and felt stupid. The road the principal had gone out through was not open to any random car bypasser. Whoever entered the front always had a reason. And also there was a speed limit. Also right at the curve there was a stop sign so this was no accident. This was meant to happen and that's why the other driver had left the crime scene before anyone showed up.

But who would hurt him? And why? What was there motivation of getting principal Trevor almost killed? It didn't add up! Ugh! I know there's a reason! I just know it was no accident!

I got up determined to find out and left the room only to crash right into Carson.

"There you are!" He said and then suddenly he hugged me tight. At first I stood there awkwardly but then returned the hug just to have someone there for me.
