Living in care
Chapter 7
Disclaimer: All rights go to Jacqueline Wilson! I just own the books.
Three months had passed since the fire and Mckinley was back to it's normal self, all of the students were glad to be back, especially Sam, he hated Carmel from the moment he arrived after getting out of hospital.
His ankle was now fully healed and he could walk without using crutches, when the other residents of Elmtree House found out about the fire from Sapphire, Gus had decided to investigate the mystery.
Sam was in his room, listening to 'The Climb' by Miley Cyrus, playing his guitar along to the music.
I can almost see it.
That dream I'm dreaming, but
There's a voice inside my head saying
You'll never reach it
Every step I'm takin'
Every move I make
Feels lost with no direction,
My faith is shakin'
But I, I gotta keep tryin'
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down, but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it, but
These are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep goin',
And I, I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on, 'cause
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb
Yeah
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb
Yeah, yeah
Keep on movin'
Keep climbin'
Keep the faith baby
It's all about, it's all about
The climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa
When he stopped playing, Sam placed his guitar against the wall and went to open his bedroom door to find Gus standing there.
"What's up Gus?" asked Sam as Gus walked into the room.
"I've been investigating the fire at your school" said Gus as Sam nodded.
"What do we know about it?" asked Sam as he and Gus sat down on his bed. After about twenty minutes of talking and asking Sapphire and other various members of the New Directions about the trauma, it turned out that the fire starter was in fact a jock... In other words. Dave Karofsky.
