I didn’t need a bike or a car to get there. It was close enough to smell the cafeteria food and hear the bell ring.

It had three floors of classrooms, chemistry labs, a library, a student publications room, a Little Theater for the drama classes, an auditorium for the various choirs and modern dance groups, and walls lined with rows of lockers. It was a place full of secrets and surprises. It was where life happened, for better or worse.”

sitting in the corner
staring at you in awe
- the perks of being invisible”
