I Walk My Path

Chapter 2: what i call normal

"AJ Hurry up!" Momma yelled as I struggled to put on my leggings.

"Going!" I yelled successfully putting on my leggings and applied a thin layer of mascara.

I grabbed my stuff and ran down the stairs to grab an apple and kissed momma goodbye as I cached up with momma. I climbed into the car with her and we drove away.

I quietly ate my apple and sung softly along with the music filling the car.

"So, how was yesterday?" Momma asked lowering the volume of the radio.

"It was great." I lied. She turned to look at me slightly and then turned back to look at the road.

"If you say so." She smiled.

I turned the radio back up and sang along once more until we got to school.

"And so forth, we will have a new music club and system. The music class is still in place but the new systems will be downstairs so let's head on out everybody. Please head downstairs in an orderly fashion."

We all headed down like little chicks following their momma chicken. When we got there and the teacher opened the doors we were all left fascinated by the sight of it. Recording booths of all kinds were lined up perfectly. It looked like a really expensive hotel hallway. Except that you could tell there were booths inside because of the outside lights that turn on when the booths are in use.

"Wow... This is amazing." I whispered to Karen and Fernanda.

"Yes, yes it is." They said grinning from ear to ear.

They were clearly very excited. I was too as well as the rest of our class.

"I will assign you all a booth in a group of 4 each. Your assignments will be to make a cover of whatever song you like. It must be made yours and you can change the lyrics around if you please . I don't and will not mind if you do so. I just want to see what you guys can do with your creativity."

She continued rambling about how our creativity and talents will be the things that will help us succeed in life. I kept my eyes fixated on a certain booth and kept waiting for a signal that would allow me to go in there and record. Since i was a child music has been my passion. It's something i want to be. I want to be a singer since i can remember but i have never sung before. sure, i listen to music and play the piano, guitar, flute and many other instruments but i never really gave singing a go.

"Now, everyone settle down. Before i assign you to your designated booths, there is a special person i want you all to meet. He is the headmasters son. He wants you all to treat him like a normal student. no special attention just because he is the headmasters son." the teacher smiled looking over to someone in the back of the room. we all turned to look behind us and sure enough... there he was, the headmaster son.

The headmaster and my family have been great friends for a really long time now and i have never met his son.The fact that his son is enrolling in our school now... it only means that the adults in both our families are going to want us to be friends. I hate being forced into a friendship. if i want to talk to someone and be friends with them then i will but if i don't want to then i sure as hell won't.
