Amanda skipped happily to the top of the stairs leading towards the Great Hall. She was wearing her signature outfit. Tight black jeans, black AFI t-shirt (her hoodie was in her dorm. it was too warm for a hoodie), and black sneakers, and her hair was dyed it's usual bright array of rainbow colors. She stuffed her songwriting notebook in her black AFI messenger bag, picked up her black and purple guitar held it in front of her to keep it from getting banged up, and slid down the rail. She landed on her feet at the bottom and made her way into the Great Hall. Amanda walked over to an empty table, sat down, pulled out her notebook, and played a few chords on her guitar, unaware that she was not the only early riser this morning.

As Mildred tied her hair in a pony tail she heard music. She walked out of her dorm and fallowed it to the Great Hall. As she saw a girl with brightly colored hair she also saw that she was playing th guitar.
as Mildred walked and smiled at The girl she said "wow were you playing that beautiful music?" as she waited for a reply she looked and sat on a chair next to her.
"Oh sorry I haven't introdused my self I am Mildred Stone I am a 6th year and you are?"

((um, you know Amanda hasn't introduced herself yet?))
Amanda looked up and smiled at the older girl. "Hi! Yeah... that was me." she replied blushingly as she rubbed the back of her head. She chuckled softly. "Glad you like it!"

"Yeah your really good, where did you learn how to play?"
Mildred took out her pony tail and let her long brown hair flow down.
"I wish I could play like that" she said with a smile
Then Mildred asked if she could see the music notes Amanda had, and tried to understand how to read it.
"Wow this is confusing.."she said with a pause......(Lol sorry well I fixed it

Amanda blinked a few times before replying. "Uh... I don't know really... I guess you could say I just taught myself!"

Amanda gave a light chuckle. "Maybe I could. It's actually pretty easy to learn. Well, for me it was anyway! I think the hardest part is getting the motivation to put in the hours of grueling practice that's required if you wanna be really good." Amanda pulled out her songbook and opened it to a song titled 'Go Figure' "You wanna hear a song?" she asked Mildred hopefully.

Amanda beamed. "Great!" She pulled her guitar onto her lap and began to play the intro. Then she began to sing.
Just when you learned the game of life
All the rules change overnight
Whoa, whoa go figure
It seems so wrong to even try
But taking a chance never felt so right
Whoa, whoa go figure
You have a dream
You wanna be
The center of the story
Just when you think it's gone
You find a way to keep it going on
Sometimes you fall before you fly
Sometimes you laugh when you should cry
Go figure
When things got messed up
You wanted to give up
Nothing seemed right but turned out fine
Go figure, go figure
Whoa, whoa
It's so dangerous to play it safe
You get what you want by giving it away
Whoa, whoa go figure
Go figure
Your trying so hard to be someone else
When all you needed to be was yourself
Whoa, whoa go figure
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Not everything is what it seems
There's never just one meaning
When life starts making sense
The world is upside down again
Sometimes you fall before you fly
Sometimes you laugh when you should cry
Go figure, go figure
When things got messed up
You wanted to give up
Nothing seemed right but turned out fine
Go figure, go figure
Whoa, whoa, go figure
Whoa, whoa
Did you really think your destiny was a one way street
You gotta be ready for anything
Just set your whole life free, yeah
Sometimes you fall before you fly
Sometimes you laugh when you should cry
Go figure, go figure
When things got messed up
You wanted to give up
Nothing seemed right but turned out fine
Go figure, go figure
Sometimes you fall before you fly
Sometimes you laugh when you should cry
Go figure
When things got messed up
You wanted to give up
Nothing seemed right but turned out fine yeah, yeah
Go figure, go figure
Whoa, whoa go figure
Whoa, whoa go figure.
Amanda finished the song and looked up at Mildred. "Whaddya think?"

Amanda smiled. "Thanks!" she said brightly. "Yeah... I did... I write all of my own songs. That's pretty much all I do all day. Play my guitar, write songs, sing... and I write stories and poetry and I draw." She paused to take a sip of pumpkin juice. "So what are you interested in?"
