Glinda had a stereo system set up, along with iced coffees and raspberry cheesecake brownies. "Welcome back, everyone," she said, cheerily. "Today, we are going to be discussing music and mood." She began walking around the students, while continuing on.

"In the movies and theater ~~not that I would know anything about that last one~~, music is vital. When a character is not speaking, music sets the tone for the scene. In horror films, it sometimes acts as a warning to the audience- beware, for the killer is about to strike!" She leaped at the nearest student, to give them a jump, and then laughed. "In other spots, it can establish the tone of a location." She paused. "For your assignment today, you are going to listen to three pieces and write down the three feelings or emotions that you experienced while listening. After everyone is done, we will discuss the pieces, and why one person may have felt one way while another felt completely different." She tapped her staff on the ground and headphones appeared in front of everyone. "Let's begin."

"Hey, no problem. You know how to find me if you need to, right?"

"Yeah, well..." Peyton hesitated. "Once we get out of these stupid cabins, yes."

Priestly snorted. "I still have a phone. And I'm in Peter & Peter."

"Right, yeah. Sorry. My brain is all stupid right now." She managed a small smile for him. "Peter and Peter. I'm in the senior cabins."

"Which makes sense. Since you were a senior."

Very true. And there aren't many of us left," Peyton added.

"Dropping like flies, huh?"

She paled, then nodded. "I guess."

"Hey, bigger and better things. College and . . . stuff that isn't college but is still bigger and better than high school."

"Ellie - my bio mom - she wanted me to go to college." Yeah, that spot of dirt on the floor was just fascinating. "I hadn't planned to, but maybe..."

"Do you need college to be a record producer?"

"She said it would be help if I got a degree in maybe business or music," Peyton told him. "Said she'd never gone and I should take advantage of it."

Priestly shrugged. "It might, there is that. Especially if you want to get in on a big label or something."

"I don't know," she said. "Maybe I should find a place out in L.A. where I can go to school and try and get an intern position somewhere at the same time."

"See, that sounds like a plan to me."

That got a more real smile out of her. "You think?"

"Hell yeah. That way you're getting life experience and money while you learn stuff."

She nodded. "That's kind of what I thought. Ellie'd be proud I was going to college, but I'd still be doing something real."

"Well then it sounds like a plan."

"The beginning of one at least," Peyton agreed. "Now I have to find a collge that will accept me this late and an internship."

"Or an internship/job and take your time in finding the college."

She considered that for a moment, then nodded. "Yeah, that could work. That's one of the things I like about you, Priestly. You think outside the box."
