The bell rang for the end of school and August walked out of the classroom and towards his locker. He entered the combination and, with many tries, opened the locker. He traded in stuff that he didn't need for homework for things that he did need, stuffed it in his backpack, slammed his locker shut, and ran towards the exit. When he got outside he walked down the stairs and found his bus. He walked up the bus stairs and saw Kelsey on his bus! He sat near her.
"Hi, Kelsey! Do you hear the music now? I do, more than ever."
"Yeah, I hear the music. I hear a really cool rhythm going." Kelsey smiled.
"Yeah, it goes like..." August tapped a rhythm on the seat before him. Kelsey nodded. The bus started moving away from the school.
Kelsey took out an iPod and stuck the earphones in her ears. August looked at her with a strange look. He had never seen an iPod, except once on the street.
"What's that?" August asked
"It's an iPod, it plays music. Wanna listen?" Kelsey said as she removed one of her earphones from her ear.
"Sure." August took the earphone and put it in his ear. Immediately, the chorus of Live Your Life by T.I. and Rihanna began. So live your life. OH! Ay, ay, ay...
"Cool." August said. He looked over at Kelsey and saw that she was mouthing the words of the song. "Can I see your iPod?" August asked.
"Sure." Kelsey handed him her iPod. August clicked and held a button and came to the menu. He clicked a circle button and saw a list of things: Artist, Album, Songs, Playlist...and Composer. He asked Kelsey how to scroll. She demonstrated and he scrolled to Artist and pressed the middle button. On the screen of Kelsey's iPod was a list of a couple artists that August had heard about: Rihanna, High School Musical Cast, Vanessa Hudgens,Taylor Swift, and some others. He selected Taylor Swift and then a list of some of her songs came up. Teardrops on My Guitar, Our Song, Love Story, and Fearless were listed. August scrolled to Teardrops on My Guitar and selected it. Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.
"Hey, I know a song that you would love." Kelsey said with a mischievous smile as she took her iPod back and began clicking buttons. When she finished clicking, the first couple measures played and August smiled really big because he knew very well what was playing.
"How'd you get this?"
"I recorded it at the concert." Kelsey smiled as August's Rhapsody played.
"Wow, I wrote this?" August laughed and looked out the bus window.
"Yeah, you did."
"Whoa, it's almost my stop, I think. The bus is in my neighborhood." August said as he gave Kelsey her earphones back. "Thanks for letting me listen."
"No problem." Kelsey said as she began wrapping her earphones around her iPod.
The bus stopped at August's apartment building and August got off. When he got to the door of the apartment building, he turned around and waved at the bus as it left out of sight. Then August ran inside into the elevator and found himself on the 3rd floor in his apartment with Louis and Lyla there asking him many questions about his first day at school.
