2nd day of school

This morning Lee met me at the entrance. It was so that I "wouldn't get lost" on the way to the new music room. It was different than the old one. No wallpaper,(the old one had this quaint lilac wallpaper) but it still had that cozy feeling. Zack was at the piano, his back turned to me. Amy was sitting on a chair and patted the seat of the one next to her, motioning for me to sit down.

"Close the door if you're going to stay... if you don't mind." Even though it sounded stern, I could see the smile on Zack's face.

"Zack has been dying to play the piano for you, Yellow!" exclaimed Amy.

I sat down next to her and enjoyed the soft classical music. He played a piece called Butterfly Etude by an ancient composer named Chopin. It was the same song I heard him play the first time I met him. It was a short piece, but happy. Zack's playing sounded the same as before, maybe better. However, he still had the ability to make you think that the piano was just an instrument. An instrument that simply projected the real melody that came from his very fingers. I mean, that's what musicians do, right? But... it always seems different with Zack.

We all "hung out" after school too. I felt sad when everyone had to leave. Even when Lee left I felt a slight tugging in my insides. He seems different. I don't really get him though.

Tomorrow there is no school. I didn't really understand why. Because I have no home, the principal let me stay in the school. It's unbelievable how nice he is to me. I feel kind of bad, because I have no way of repaying him. Not only is he letting me stay in the school, provided me with all my books and uniforms (second hand is better than nothing!), and is keeping the fact that there is a savage in his school a major secret... he is also paying for my tuition (his wife insisted). I mean, he doesn't have to. He and his wife originally offered for me to stay at his house, but I had to decline. They have done too much already. The school is better than the shelter I was staying at. At least here no one looks at me funny (because there is no one around.. heh.)

So far I have blended in quite well.
