I Know There's More That's Out There

"Whoa!" I exclaimed. 

Then there was a knock at the door and Dean Cadence came in and saw me on the ground with Spike licking my face. I push Spike away a bit so I could get up. 

"Dusk—you know the rules against pets." Dean Cadence stated. 

"Well, Spike isn't a pet, Dean Cadence. He's the focus of my research project. Human/canine cohabitation—effects and implications." I stated, lying about Spike not being a pet. 

"If you say so. But Principal Cinch is highly allergic, so I suggest you put on a clean shirt." Dean Cadence stated as she pulled a loose hair off of my shirt. 

"Why?" I asked as I put Spike down on the floor. 

"Because she wants to see you." Dean Cadence stated. 

"Ooh! Maybe she has news about my application to Everton!" I said, getting happy. 

Dean Cadence rests a hand on my shoulder.

"I've been meaning to talk to you about that. Are you sure that's what you really want?" Dean Cadence asked. 

"Why wouldn't it be? A program that allows me to focus all my attention on my own advanced math and science projects? What a dream come true!" I said, ecstatic. 

"But there aren't any classrooms with other students. You'll be doing everything on your own." Dean Cadence said, sounding a little worried. 

"That is why it's called an independent study program." I stated. 

"I just don't want you to miss out on anything, that's all. Being around other people isn't a bad thing. Sometimes it's how you learn the most about yourself." Dean Cadence stated. 

"I guess." I stated, a little uncertain. 

"Meet you in Principal Cinch's office in a few minutes?" Dean Cadence asked. 

I nodded as Dean Cadence left, closed the door behind her and then I turned to Spike. 

"What's she so worried about? Everton is exactly what I need right now. It's not like I have anything left to learn at Crystal Prep." I stated. 

I've walked through all these halls before

I've been in and out of every door, whoa

There's nothing in this school that I don't know

In every class my grade's the best, the highest score on every test

I think that means it's time for me to go

I know there's more that's out there, and I just haven't found it yet

I know there's more that's out there, another me I haven't met

This school is full of people, but still I don't belong

They only dream of winning, look at me like something's wrong

Maybe I'm better off alone

Will I find what I'm looking for if I just do it on my own?

I know there's more that's out there, something to fill this hole inside
