Chapter 3: Tongue twister

(please don't play the song just yet!)

(Cory's POV)

Another morning full of me and my mother yelling at each other, nothing new, why are we yelling at each other? Well, it's very simple. She doesn't like this 'Phase' I'm 'going through', she always says I need to be the way I was born, then I always retaliate, my father, he doesn't mind me being me, at-least I have someone in my family on my side,

"Coraline! You need to act properly! Get dressed and leave for school!" She hollered at me, I was getting more angry by the minute,

"I AM dressed! Just not to YOUR liking! And it's CORY, not CORALINE!" I yelled, I'm pretty sure the neighbors could hear us, whoops, my bad.

"You know what!? Just go! Get to school, you'll be late!" She yelled, pushing me towards the door, I looked at her,

"Fine! Whatever! Let me grab my stuff, then I'll be out of your hair!" I yelled, she left, I violently grabbed my backpack and headphones and stomped out the door, I decided to walk, I had a headache from yelling and I didn't want it to get worse, I decided to walk to school, there was a nice trail, so I took that, I still felt angry, so I put my headphones on and put on a song I liked, it always calmed me down, I decided to sing along,

(You can play the song now!)

"Wandering child of the earth, do you know just how much you're worth?

You have walked, this, path since your birth, you were destined for more..

There are those who'll tell you you're wrong, they will try to, silence your song, but right here, is, where you belong, so don't search...

Anymore..

You are, the dawn of a new day, that's waking. A masterpiece still in the making. The blue in an ocean of gray~

You are, right where you need to be, poised to, inspire and to succeed, you'll, look, back and realize one day~

In, your, eyes there is doubt as you try, to, figure it out, but that's not, what, life is about, so have faith, there's a way...

Though, the world, may try to define you, it can't, take, the light that's inside you, so don't, you, dare try to hide, let your fears, fade away~

You are, the dawn of a new day. A masterpiece still in the making. The blue in an ocean of gray~

You are, right where you need to be, poised to, inspire and to succeed, you'll, look, back and realize one day~

You are, the dawn of a new day. A masterpiece still in the making. The blue in an ocean of gray~

You are, right where you need to be, poised to, inspire and to succeed, soon, you'll, finally find your own way...~"

As the song ended I took off my headphones and took a deep breath, I continue to walk down the path, I heard something or someone sigh, so I snapped my head to look behind me, when I saw, low and behold, Nick and his little gang,

"O-oh! Uh! Guys! Hi!.. Uhm, how.. how much of that did you hear?" I asked, they all looked at each other, then back at me,

"Uhh.. all.. of it..? Eheheh.." Dawn murmured, I looked at them, I gulped, quickly changing the subject, "So, uhm, w-why are you guys going down this path? Don't you usually take the, um, the bus?" Nick decided to turn it around on me, fun,

"Yeah, but don't YOU usually take the bus?" He asked, I nodded, turning to keep walking, they did the same, "Soo.. why didn't you take the bus? Would've been faster than walking." Nick stated, I just shrugged, "Dunno. You guys could've, y'know, hopped on the bus, instead of taking the slower way.." I said, looking forwards, why were they being so nice to me? They looked at me,
