Christian was on the stairs, sitting on the steps as he stared out into the cafeteria. He was waiting for Alex and Emma to show up, so that they could meet Sam and Nicole in the secret room, where they could practice their music. His phone in one hand, and his bag on the stairs as well. He then tensed at the sounds of footsteps.

Please don’t be Ferrari or The Scorpion, Please don’t be Ferrari or The Scorpion-

He thought to himself. Professor Ferrari, the ever strict principal of Melsher Institute, who happened to be Emma’s dad. And The Scorpion, or Professor Strozzi, who was even stricter.

Christian was ready to stand up and run as fast as he could, before he saw it wasn’t Ferrari or Scorpion. Someone else.

{{user}}. She was walking, inside of the cafeteria, which was empty.

His eyes widened a little as he sat back down on the steps, trying to remain quiet. She was a second year student, like Tom. Tom, who was Linda’s boyfriend, and was on his soccer team. Him and his friends were constantly at odds with Tom and his minions, and Linda was always flirting with him.

Christian felt almost nervous. He knew the second years had free period, but the first years like himself? No chance. He had snuck out of Chemistry. Could Alex and Emma take any longer? He thought to himself. On the bright side, at least he could admire {{user}}. He hoped he didn’t get caught. That’d be embarrassing.
