If I could Fly

Chapter 1

Above is a picture of Ellenwood Academy. The performing arts boarding school Alexandria goes to.

{Hey guys. If I could fly is my second book. It may seem extremely cliche but hey. Its what I like and its my book. If you like it please vote and comment. Love you guys💋}

I could hear the piano notes trickling away. I took my bow as the judges announced me the winner and shook my hand. This was it. I was on top of the world. I was-

"Miss Fasco...Miss Fasco!!"

Snapping out of dream world and back into reality, I noticed that my teacher had been calling me and snapping her fingers in my face. "Sorry..hmm what did you say?", I stammered out.

Giggles and coughs indicating that I was a loser erupted from the Elite table." Wow only the first day and The Failure is already messing up.", thier head Katherine(Katie) Manscoff spoke out.

Rolling my eyes, I turned back to the teacher to see what she wanted.

" Are you alright, Alexandria?", she asked. Worry was sketched all over her face. I has zoned out a bit in class

"Yes I'm fine, Mrs. Rainof."

"Okay. The headmaster wanted to see you about your schedule.And welcome back. Good to see you up and running."

"Yes ma'am."

Snickers from the Elites table followed me on the way out. I can't believe I used to be one of them. How could I be like that? The only good thing that came out of last year was me having to take a long hard look in the mirror. Of course all I found were broken pieces but hey. Its whatever.

I shifted my satchel and purse higher up on my shoulder and scurried down the hallway. Busting into the door, I pushed out a quick 'Welcome Back ' to the secretary.

"Hey Mr. H. Sorry for taking so long. So I was thinking that maybe since I had 2 free periods due to no major and no Elite period I could pick up something else. I was thinking maybe photography or media but if you have something better I'm up to it. As long as its not art because I'm terrible at art..."

I heard Mr.H chuckling to himself as I saw that there was one more person in the room. My gaze had shifted over to a guy that looked about my age. He had light sandy brown hair that matched his hazel eyes. He had a smirk on his face but it didn't seem mean, but instead he seemed amused.

"So Mr. H. What did you want to see me about?", I squeaked out.

"Well Miss Fasco. Mr. Lenox here is new to the Senior class. He happens to have the same major and minor as you ,Dance and music. He has also been selected to be apart of the Elites. I thought maybe you could show him around and tell him more about Ellenwood. As one of our many top students I have given him a very similar schedule as you and the other Elites. "

"Well sir. I am very flattered but I dropped dance remember. Due to some uh...unfortunate luck, I am no longer able to dance also meaning I am no longer able to be in the Elites."

"Nonsense. The Doctors cleared you last month. You were, I mean you are one of our best dancers here at Ellenwood. I do understand that you may need some time to uh get back into shape. I have cleared out Studio 7 for you to use during you Elite period."

"But sir I-"

"But nothing. Now go show Mister Lenox around."

I hung my head in defeat. "Yes sir."

He pushed us out the door and into the hallway. I turned to Jacobson.

"Hi. I'm Alexandria. You can call my Lexi though if you want."

"Whatever"

How rude. "So this is Ellenwood. It was originally built as a college in 1987 and was then converted into a high school for performing arts advocates like you and I. It contains 10 dance studios, 10 recording booths, 3 dark rooms, 4 art studios, 3 theaters, and 4 classrooms for each of the basic subjects. There are lots of various classrooms around due to the fact that there are only 700 students and about 50 teachers and staff members." I turned to him , having finished my rant about the school's history. He had a bored expression on his face.

"And I should care why?"

"Well I just thought that maybe you would like to know more about the school because I mean you do go here. Anything else you sould like to know?"

"Yeah. When's this all over?"

I took a deep breath and collected myself.

"When we graduate."

"Can't wait. Until then I will be in room 356."

I rushed up to him and it took everything in me not to slap the mess out of him.

"Do you know how hard it is to get in here? Better yet do you know how many people would kill to be in the Elites. Anyone who has ever been anyone has gone here. Its a direct path into Aldston University. This place holds the most talented people throughout the USA. You should be grateful to be here. So look here, Mr. Hotshot Lenox. When you need me I'll be in room 370. Until then, Ciao."

Stomping off, I didn't call down until I was safely in my room. This was only the 1st day. How could I already be stressed out?
