I wondered where my classroom was. My schedule hadn't said where everything was, so I guess I'd just have to find it. Quickly, I found my locker and stuffed my books in, then locked it and glanced around. It should be safe to move into the crowd in 3...2...Just then, a huge jock came and slammed me and another kid against the lockers with a metallic clang. Everyone turned towards the sound and all eyes were on us now. I gritted my teeth and stood quietly, picking up mine and the other kid's papers that had fluttered to the ground. I helped him up and handed him his stuff. He nodded gratefully, then ran off to his classroom. The jock laughed at us, breaking the silence in the hall. He pushed me against the lockers again, slightly harder this time, before walking away with his posse of two other guys. I glared after him silently.
lilt verb \ˈlilt\ to move musically or lively.
"life, believe, is not a dream
so dark as sages say;
oft a little morning rain
foretells a pleasant day.
sometimes there are cloud of gloom,
but these are transient all;
if the shower will make the roses bloom,
oh why lament its fall?"
