The Hallway

...

Sunshine turned the combination on her lock, and swung open her locker. She dug her History textbook out of her backpack and placed it back on the shelf. She took a deep breath, and sighed, relaxed. Today had been a good day... Now it was time for Glee. She didn't know whether or not that would just ruin her day or not, but sometimes, she wished she could just relax and let go instead of have to go through the rigorous dance routines and not have fun singing.

"You wanna win, don't you?" Everyone had told her when she showed the first sign of uneasiness. She never let that show again.

Yeah, sorry I haven't been online in a really long time, and I apologize. Thank you for alerting me!

Lucy roamed the empty halls as usual, her dusty textbook in hand, and her iPhone in the other. Again, she ran into the same student she did three minutes ago. She realized she had been going in a full circle around campus and sighed, giving up on trying to put the book back in the correct classroom. She shoved the phone in her back pocket.
"You obviously want me to read you, don't you?" Lucy spoke to the book, making sure nobody was in the general vicinity. People didn't know her too well, and she liked it this way. Especially at Carmel. You can't show all your cards at once, right? Lucy decided to hide the geeky cards under the table, a long time ago. Being judged didn't bother her. But it had started to. Vocal Adrenaline. Hmph. She was thinking about her own teammates and friends. That isn't a crime, is it? No. Definitely not. Well, it never hurts to hate everyone around you. She left the textbook on the top of the lockers near the classroom that the textbook matched accordingly.
Turning around on her heel, Lucy walked in the direction of the parking lot to her car, needing some sort of coffee before lurking the Dalton halls, and the garden. The garden was her favorite place to go; and even better, it had great wi-fi.

Lucy followed Justin to his locker. She didn't know if she was going to walk home with him today. She decided she might, opening her locker too, getting any textbooks she may have needed for tonight. She closed her locker door and waited for Justin. She peeked around the door to his side, and saw that he was looking in his locker-mirror. For once, she didn't mind, and waited.

Justin had clocked Lucy following him. He didn't care because her locker was right next to his. He quickly checked himself in his mirror before grabbing his books. "Staring is rude Lucy." Justin joked.

"I wasn't staring, mom." Lucy said, in a bit of a mocking tone. She fixed her hair in his mirror, though.

"Anything planned for tonight?" Justin asked. He was curious, even though he already had plans.

Lucy shook her head. "I'm probably just going to stay home. What about you?"

"Singing and more singing...I've been working on stuff just to take my mind off the stuff we're doing."

Lucy raised an eyebrow. "Really? What kind of stuff?"

"Trying my luck at different styles."

Lucy nodded. "I see. Anything you seem to want to stick to?"

"Feeling the R'n'B vibe."

Lucy laughed a bit. "I see. I see."

Justin nodded and slammed his locker shut.

(sorry that took forever!)

Lucy shrugged. "So, where're you headed?" Lucy asked, politely enough. She couldn't help but be curious.

"Out." Justin smirked in an attempt to annoy Lucy.
