Adele whimpered, pulling her dark turtleneck over her head. The classroom was empty and silent, as nobody would want to waste their break inside the gloomy room.
Except her.
Mr. Bob walked in, his forehead etched with lines of concern.
"What are you doing here?"
Adele didn't answer, instead looking outside the window.
Today was the day of school singing auditions. Everyone else in her class had rushed to the stadium during break to audition. The winner would get a free trip to Ottawa. She had always wanted to go to the capital.
Her mind reassured herself. Nobody likes to go to the capitol anyways. Too crowded.
Maybe if she told herself that enough she would believe it.
"Its the auditions, isn't it?" asked Mr. Bob. Adele nodded.
He sat down at a desk. He looked almost comical, stuffed in the tiny chair, but his face was grim. "I never wanted to be a teacher."
Adele snorted. Mr. Bob was always so crabby, so that was no surprise.
"I wanted to be a lawyer. I was to scared to go to law school. So I stayed in my hometown." His face turned pensive
Adele pretended she wasn't listening.
"If you want to audition, you should go for it," he said hastily, looking embarrassed.
Ok I know this is super TERRIBLE but do something along those lines, like someone is too scared to achieve their goals, but when they try they win.
Hope this helped :)
