Sing It For the World

Chapter 40

~Carson~

The next morning classes were back but none of us were in the mood. Everyone looked depressed. There was still yellow tape around the accident scene. More like a crime scene.

It was 5th period when we heard the announcement.

"May I please have your attention? I would like to inform everyone that the principal will be okay. He is not in a bad condition just needs some medical attention. I can ensure you that he will be coming back next week. The rest of the week will be yours to have fun with until his return. Thank you." The assitant principal's voice rang through.

I swear the whole class let out a huge breath of relieve that we were unaware we were holding. Then everybody started cheering. Everyone liked Principal Trevor. He looked young but apparently he wasn't as young as we thought.

Mikayla smiled and then we alll stood up. The bell had just rang for 6th period and we had to finish today's classes at least.

We all went to choir and all sat down.

"Okay on Sunday in the main grounds we are gonna make a bon fire. There will be karaoke and it's for everyone. We're celebrating the principal's return. Give these flyers to every classroom. Go." He said all giving us stacks of flyers. I saw Angela throw hers to Olive and then walk out of the classroom.

"Wait how did you plan all of this so soon in one period?" Lizlee asked him as my roommates and I gathered around him.

"We were told ahead of time." He said then shooed us away.

We were out the door and we were all standing there like retards.

"I say we make this fun." Jacob suggests giving Mikayla a mischevious look. She smiled deviously at him. I felt jealous cause I had no idea what was going on.

Then they both turned to the cabinets next to the wall. Lizlee, Jason, and I gave each other confused looks.

"We race down the hallways in these!" Mikayla bursted out.

"Oh!" We all said. Then we all got on one since there was nine of them. Lizlee was standing up though.

"Why aren't you getting on one?" Jacob asked.

"We can get in trouble for this." She pointed out worried. Mikayla rolled her eyes. I smiled at her.

"Well whatever but I'm leaving." Mikayla said and then we all started off. We took different hallways. We would give the cabinet a push with our feet until they rolled on their own and at each classroom we would stop and give--throw-- the flyers to teachers.

After I ran out of my flyers I went back the choir class and ended up crashing with Jason's cabinet car. It threw us off and we landed on the ground.

"Ahhh!" We groaned and then got up. We limped back into the class and saw Mikayla already there. The teacher and her were discussing but stopped when we walked in.

"Great you guys are back. I was just telling Mikayla that she should sing a song at the bonfire when the principal comes in. I would like one of the guys to sing the guy part of the song." He explained.

"You'll want Jacob for that." I say.

"Well wouldn't one of you two like to sing with her?" He offers. Jason and I both look at each other.

"No." We answer at the same time. Mikayla scowls at us. "Well then!" She says.

"It'snot that we don't want to but you have an amazing voice so you would just end up empowering our crappy voices." Jason explains and I nod in agreement.

"Fine I'll ask Jacob then. You three may go." He says and we all walk out.

"Oh! We need to finish preparing the room!" Mikayla yells and then grabs both of my arms and down the art hallway.

We finally stop in front of a door that I've never been in before. Mikayla opens it revealing a huge room. She pushes me in and closes the door behind me. I see a black and gray painting of a girl on the wall up on the terrace of the spiral staircase. Around the walls are pure instruments and in the middle there is a couch, coffee table, and smaller couch chairs.

"You haven't even seen all of it." Mikayla says. She then grabs my hand and takes me upstairs while Jason falls right down on the couch downstairs.

She opened the room and I saw beanbag chairs, a plasma TV, a small counter table, and a mini fridge. This was so freaking cool! I also noticed that the terrace had a mic stand and there was a small recording studio at the corner downstairs.

~Mikayla~

"This is ours to use. We can hang out here all the time as long as we don't tell anyone about it besides the people in our dorm. Oh and I think we're finished preparing it." I explain to Carson. He just keeps looking awed.

I then decide to celebrate with connecting my iPod and putting a song on. The speakers start to blare as the song starts. Jason and Carson look at me with recognition of the song and all at once we all start singing our lungs off.

"I got a pocket,

Got a pocket full of sunshine

I got a love an' I know that it's all mine

Oh, oh whoa oh

Do what you want,

But you never gonna break me,

Sticks an' stones are never gonna shake me

No, oh whoa, oh"

Then I grabbed a random microphone and sang the chorus even if the microphone wasn't on. I got on the coffee table and sang loudly along with her voice.

"Take me away, a secret place

A sweet escape, take me away

Take me away to better days

Take me away, a hiding place"

I always sang passionately to this part because well I just felt it was a passionate part and how Natasha Bedingfield sang it. Pocketful of Sunshine was my happy song.

After that we all fell down to the couch with me on top of them. They pushed me to the ground though but I didn't mind since the floor was carpet.

"You know I think this is the happiest I've seen you in days." Carson pointed out. I smiled at him.

"I'm just glad that principal Trevor will be okay." I say.

"Well let's get going for now and go find Jacob and Lizlee." Jason suggests and we nod. We leave the room and turn off all the lights.

We left the buidling and went back to the dorm but we didn't find them there. It wasn't time for lunch yet so we were walking around campus when we saw lights flashing from the East Side. We looked at each other and decided to sneak in.

We managed to sneak pass the guards and just in time to see Lizlee and Aiden coming out with his dad trailing them. Just as he got outside the buidling the police men grabbed his arms and handcuffed. There was a whole crowd around already.

"Parker you are under arrest for the attempt murder of Trevor Harrison." The officer said. I was confused. They all different last names! Is that a British thing or what?

"What are you talking about!?" He shouted.

"You know exactly what he's talking about." Aiden said to his face and then unexpectedly he punched him right in front of the police men.
