Alex was aching all over as he sat during class, feeling the after effects of his sleepover in the auditorium. As he sat vaguely paying attention in class Alex couldn't ignore the nagging feeling in the back of his mind that he had forgotten something. I messaged Tender Fern, I made my apologies and such. I didn't leave anything on the stove... what is it? wracking his brain for another 10 minutes Alex finally figured it out and buried his head in his hands It's that damn Ballet book! I left it right there! On the podium in the auditorium!
Not knowing when the auditorium would be in use again, Alex slowly stood up an left. No one looked up as he passed, neither did the teacher, Alex wasn't sure if the teacher realised he was even in the class. As he left Alex grabbed a newspaper that was to be recycled and folded it under his arm It's amazing how few people stop you when you look like you're doing something important. As he made his way towards the auditorium Alex noticed more people than he expected milling about, especially around the old gym, but since he was pushing his luck enough by just sneaking to the auditorium he decided that it wouldn't be wise to investigate further.
Taking a slightly roundabout way of getting to the auditorium, making his final destination not certain to onlookers, Alex arrived and peeked in finding the auditorium mercifully empty, for the time being. Wasting no more time Alex hastily made his way to the podium and sighed relief when the book was still there. Picking it up Alex abandoned the newspaper and exited the auditorium.
I can't make a decent excuse to go back to the Dorms, so I'll simply return this mystery book to the library. Having decided on his next course of action, Alex started walking, fishing out his ear-buds and music player for the trip.
