POV: Melody

It's weird being here in the middle of the day. I'm getting weird looks because I just showed up. I try to ignore them but they keep looking. It might be cuz I have a bigger build from my height and sporty build, but I still never liked looks anybody gives me. Izzy is an amazing friend because after a while I forget about them.

After a while someone walks in with his back turned to the board. He writes on the board "Mr. Grimm" and we all start to get excited.

"Ok class." He starts "We are going to start an exercise called GRAHAMmar Police, so get your writing utensils ready."

He turns around and writes "Shady" next to his name... Hmm 'Mr.Grimm Shady' has a nice ring to it.

Ooooh wait I get it... haha that's clever.

He pulls out a pink hat and matching sunglasses from his closet.

Alan and Joey walk in too and they say something about their names being "Big Al and J Weezy." I mean what is wrong with these guys? Are they teachers, a band, or just plain crazy. Then Chad comes in and written on it says "GRAHAMmy winner" I roll my eyes as Izzy is laughing up a storm next to me.

Caleb tells us to write down all the grammatically incorrect words or phrases they rap. He says it helps us to recognize our grammar when writing songs, but in a fun way.

I pull out a bright feathery green pen with sparkles and writes in sparkly ink out of my backpack. I love my feathery pens. Yes I have more than one of them. I have like a gazillion of them.

Joey gets wide eyed and looks at me. He says, "That is the most amazing thing I've ever see!!"

I look at him and shrug. Tossing it to him I say, "keep it I have a lot of them."

Before Joey could grab it, Chad snags it and runs down the hallway. Joey sprints after him, and Alan follows behind.

Caleb turns to us and exclaims, "Joey was incorrect it was seeN."

Alan comes back holding the two of them by their collars. He makes Chad apologize to Joey. After he does Alan sets them down. Joey sticks out his tongue, so Alan picks up again and orders, "You better say your sorry to Chad or I'm a-gonna tear you apart."

Then Caleb stops Alan mid sentence putting his two cents in saying, "IM GOING TO and APOLOGIZE would be the correct translations."

"FOR WHAT?!?!?!" Joey shouts back "He stole my pen."

Alan gives the LOOK and Joey goes, "Ok Chaddy I'm sorry....." Alan drops him and Joey had to continue, "but I like green more!"

They both get put in time out.

Caleb sighs and shakes his head. After a few minutes he says to them, "ok you two, off to your classes thanks for helping me."

"No problem anything for you Mr. Grimm Shady!" Joey says back.

Chad nods. All three leave and Caleb turns to us.

He says, "Ok who's ready to move onto the fun part?"

We all exclaim "Yes's and awesome's"

"Ok let's get ready to actually write some lyrics. Just let your mind roam and see what God wants to put onto your heart. If it helps draw a picture of anything then write what you see. Just let your imagination sparkle. (He says that last part as he winks at me)"

I draw dark high waters rushing and lots of swirls and wind. I draw dark trees next to the high river and the sky with little stars, dark rolling cloud, and no moon. Caleb is walking around and I quickly flip my paper over and start to draw something else. I hope he didn't notice how I was feeling. Lost, confused, drowning, lost in the dark.

After what felt like a long time just drawing I actually decide to write about what I see. The good thing is Caleb doesn't come around near my bean bag again and Izzy is too deep in her words to notice what I'm writing. (Yes we have bean bags instead of desks. It is much more comfy and colorful than the boring desks at other schools!)

The most oddest bell rings. It is music instead of the usual "ERR ERR ERR" of a regular bell or "DING A DING A DING." I like it.

Caleb doesn't ask to turn our papers in and I am glad, but he does say keep them for we will need them later. Oh no, I think, hopefully not. I don't want people hearing/seeing how I feel. They will laugh at me.

Caleb turns to me and smiles almost guiltily "Nice job today Melody. And those are some pretty funky looking pens they will come in handy in writing about anything! They look like they contain some sort of magic."

"Haha, thanks Caleb, I will see you later."

"See you later Melody!"

Aw man... He saw what I was drawing and writing... He saw what I am thinking.
