Hallway Talk [The scavenger hunt challenge]

The girl stood in the hallway, tapping her foot nervously as her eyes flickered up and down the hall. She was quietly singing the song her mother used to sing her as a baby under breath to calm herself.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life

“Remus!”Running up the hall came Sarah, waving crazily.

“Oh hey!” The girl said.

“I can’t believe we both got into the University of Akron!” Sarah said happily! “We’re gonna be the class of 1994 baby!

“Yep, if we survive!” She said.

“Hey, how’s Madison, I heard she was sick?”

“Oh, little squeeky, fine! Just a fever. Its the seventh time!” The girl said.

“Ouch. Oh, here! I have Anansi Boys for you! I swear you will like it more than Star Trek!” Sarah said, handing her the book.

“Thank you so much!” The girl said.

“Summer Lynn!” A voice from behind the door said.

“Oh gosh…” Summer said.

” Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll be the best in the whole college band!” Sarah said.
