Looking around the new area, I followed my classmate's lead out of the school and towards the karaoke shop.
Ignoring my classmates' laughs and discussions, I intently looked around, taking in every part of this new experience.
Upon entering the shop, one of my classmates paid for a huge room before leading us in.
Watching my fellow classmates sit down, order drinks, and eagerly look for songs on the iPad like this was an everyday thing, I felt a tinge of jealousy inside me.
Why had I been holed up in my room, studying this whole time, while they had been enjoying life to the fullest?
Laughing alongside my classmates as I watched my friends try their best to sing, all thoughts and doubts about returning home disappeared.
When I was handed the iPad, I asked my classmate beside me for a recommendation before looking at the screen with the lyrics and trying my best to sing.
"haha, Silas, why is your voice so monotone?"
