Current Events

Flute notes echoed off the walls in the hallway, two silvery things producing less than silvery notes-- notes that slid and slipped down the scale. Sharp. Flat. Very flat. And laughter. High pitched and roaring all at once, the crazy laughter that fits right in between the measures and sits right where it should. It's more perfect than the silver.

A discovery occured in period 4: I have more friends than I think. There are more people who want the exact same things I do and will do the exact same things to get there than I expected. Boston, here we come! BC and Quincy have been given fair warning.

And then there was a phone call. After the flutes but before the pumpkin pie, a pink cell phone rang.One anxious voice answered, another repied, and by the end of it things were still a little ambiguous. But with a promise to call back later both cell phones snapped shut and two faces started smiling, and it's very likely that I was not the only one jumping up and down/dancing/feeling AMAZINGLY HAPPY.

Somewhere in between all of the good stuff there were tests and talkings and post-its and pencils, but none of that matters really. Today is comprised of three different events, each seperate and still whole.
