School of Rock. Seeing those words on my calendar made me dread the weeks to come. My parents had signed me up for an activity‚ once again‚ without asking my opinion first. My friends would be going‚ but that didn’t make it sound better. I would be put in a band with people I didn’t know. I’d always left being outgoing and meeting new people for my friends to take care of‚ but this week it seemed to be on my to-do list. My idea of the next two weeks was a monotonous‚ dreary prison.
