CALESIE'S POINT OF VIEW(POV)
"Calesie, Calesie, Wake up" It's Hailey's voice
"Bessy? Why? It's still *Yawns* early," I turned around to not face Hailey seated on my bed beside me, I covered myself with my blanket because it was so cold,
"Calesie, You have to wake up it's 6:00 Am, today is the day of our performance," Hailey removed the blanket covering my face, I'm shivering,
So~ Cold~
"What performance?" I ask yawning, I slept late last night because I made the lyrics,
"Calesie did you forgot?! The project is today, you have to snap out of it, you have to get ready and by the way, Why did you come home late last night and who are you with?" Hailey asked like she's angry,
"Last night? Uhh...I am with Deyro, We finished our project yesterday"
"Then Why are you so late?"
"Uhhhh...Because....." I can't tell Hailey that I fainted yesterday because of exhaustion, She's going to be worried
*CRIIIIIING!!!!! CRIIIIING!!!!* (PHONE RINGING)
It was Hailey's cellphone,
"Hello?" She answered
I stood up while yawning, I stretched my body then looked outside of the window in front of me, What a beautiful day for a nerve-racking performance,
I have to get ready, I shouldn't be late for today,
I walk going towards the bathroom, I locked the doors, then went to the shower,
I removed my clothes then opened the shower, the water touched my body and it made me shiver even though the water is warm,
While taking a shower, I remembered what happened yesterday,
I know that inside of me I know that you wanted to tell me something, But...
WHAT IS IT?!
After minutes, I am finished, I turned off the shower then went outside, outside of the shower inside the bathroom was a big mirror, I looked at myself while thinking about, how I wanted to know who I am,
Memories inside my mind...
even this past.....
I don't know where they came from, I don't recognize them, I told my mother about them but she said that it was caused because of my imaginations, But I was a child at that time,
I went outside of the bathroom, I closed the door while holding the towel covering my body, I was about to go to the closet to get dressed but.....
"Bessy!!, why didn't you tell me!?" Hailey stopped me,
"A-About what?" I nervously asked
"Deyro just called, he told me that you fainted yesterday! Why didn't you tell me that? Huh?"
"Uhhhh....."
"Are you okay now?" Hailey asked
"I'm fine Bessy, I didn't tell you because I don't want you to worry,"
"Next time tell me!"
"I will, I am going to take a shower now," But Hailey was still looking at me like she's still worried about my condition,
"I am fine Bessy, Promise, I am not lying,"
"Are you sure?"
"I am sure, It's just exhaustion and I already took enough rest yesterday, I'm fine now,"
"If that's true then that's great, I was really worried when I found out,"
"You don't have to, Now, we should get ready, We have a performance to prepare for,"
"Yeah we should, I am going to take a shower now,"
Hailey went to the bathroom, I heard the bang of the door meaning she closed it,
I went to my closet, I got dressed in my uniform, I was about to close it when I found a piece of the picture, It was a picture of me and my mom, What's it doing inside, I closed the closet's door then went to my side table, I opened the drawer, then put the picture inside, But...
If I remembered it correctly, I have two copies of that picture, I wonder where's the other one,
"Calesie, are you finished getting ready?" Hailey asked while she's closing the bathroom's door
"Yeah, I just have to dry my hair then I'm done,"
Like what I said, I went to the vanity area, I took a blower to use for drying my hair,
"Calixta it's still early," I heard Hailey said, I turned around and saw Calixta walking going to the bathroom, She's always up early when her school started at 10:00 Am,
"I wonder why she's always up early but always home late," Hailey looked at me asking those question, I shrugged my shoulder because I also don't know, or maybe Calixta is.....,
Is she a schoolcaholic type of person?
I am now already set for school, I tied my hair into a ponytail, then grabbed my bag resting on my bed,
"Bessy let's go!" Hailey was already outside tapping through her phone, smiling, Is she texting Aldrin?
"Calixta we are going now! If you are hungry there's a lot of food in the fridge okay?! " Hailey shouted, but there's no response from Calixta which is, pretty normal with us,
We are now walking to get out of the building, I noticed that Hailey was still texting someone on her phone, she's blushing by the way, I know who's. she texting It's pretty obvious...
"Calesie!!!"
"Hey, guys!" I happily said waving at them,
When we saw them waiting for us outside of the Girl's building, waving at us, Hailey and I walk faster,
As we get near...
"Calesie! Is it true that you fainted last night?" Aldrin looked at me, so worried, I was shocked and looked at his hands holding both of my hands,
I looked at Hailey, she was looking at our hands holding, she looks so sad,
"Yes but I am okay now, No need to worry hehe," I said removing Aldrin's hand holding mine,
"Anyways what are you doing here?"
I have to change the topic or this'll get intense then awkward, Hailey likes him, Aldrin should notice that,
"Well, I just heard the news that the judges will come riding in their cars, let's go, or else we'll miss our chance to see their scary faces," Deyro answered, He's teasing us,
"They are here?" I asked
"Of course it's today you know,"
So we immediately went to the place where the three judges will show up, I look up to them since three of them are like legendary in this city, because...
Mr. John Meuson the composer, Lauren Meuson the singer, and Franco Meuson our founder,
*PEEP! PEEP!*
"Wow!" the crowd said, There cars are very shiny and black, two cars were arriving, while a lot of men in black suits are accompanying the cars moving slowly into the university's parking lot,
There was a lot of students waiting outside to see them exit their luxurious car, there were like celebrities,
Then after the three founders came out of their car...
"WAAAH!!!!" The crowd was loud, we all want to get near but the bodyguards didn't let us,
They were awesome, especially Miss Lauren she is so beautiful, She Is
Perfect,
"MISS LAUREN PLEASE GIVE ME AN AUTOGRAPH!!!" the crowd shouted, From what Professor Artner told us, Mrs. Lauren is a former singer and a talented person, I hope I can shake her hand,
It's my first time seeing them, while they are walking in the hallway, I felt like my legs are shaky and I am feeling cold, I am becoming more and more nervous
"Bessy are you okay?" Hailey asked looking so worried,
"Yeah, just nervous,"
"Wait, why are there so many reporters, nobody said about reporters coming here?" Deyro asked, We all turned around and Deyro was right, big Cameras all over the place, people in uniforms and microphone with designs of there networks logo, there were all trying to go inside the university asking questions,
This day is important
"I thought that it's a school project but I think it's more than that" Hailey said nervously,
Because I am so nervous, I took a deep breath then released all of the thoughts that are making me this nervous, I have to calm down, have confidence,
The judges successfully went inside the room where the performance is going to be held,
"Calesie let's go and practice," Deyro offered so I nodded, We have to do well,
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Deyro and I are here now at the music room after a long walk, we have to practice for the performance which will be held later at 8:00 Am,
"Deyro there's a lot of students do you think all of those students can perform today?" I asked
"I don't know, but base on my experience the last time they put a project like this, They were like not letting the students finish there performance, but that's only if the judges didn't like it,"
"Re-Really?" I nervously asked Negative thoughts get away from me,
"But hey....." Deyro put his hand on my shoulder then bend his knees making his face get a little closer, He smiled at then said,
"We can do it, We work hard on this, If we fail well then we just have to try again right?" What Deyro said helped me boost my self-confidence, I nodded my head and then smile, if he wasn't here, then I will not know what to do,
We went to the center where the piano is then Deyro opened it,
I didn't look at the keys since I'm afraid that memories will appear,
"Calesie we have a problem," Deyro said looking so worried,
"What? What is it?"
"I'm sorry but, I think you should play the piano for today's performance,"
I was speechless for a moment and was like I'm an Ice because I was just standing, not even moving a muscle,
"WHAT!!?" I was so shocked because of what Deyro just told me,
"Why can't you play the piano? I thought you will do my request yesterday?"
"I know, I'm sorry, It was just some accident happened yesterday night,"
"What accident?"
"I- It was a long story, But my finger is burned right now, I can't touch a key when it hurts this much,"
Deyro looks like he's in pain, If Deyro can't play the piano then I don't have a choice I have to play it for the sake of the performance, I have to try just this once,
"Okay, I will play the piano for the performance, you can't play the piano then I'll have to do it or else we will fail," I said
"I am sorry Calesie,"
"It's okay, You didn't know this was gonna happen," Let's start practicing?" Deyro nodded because of my question,
I sat on the chair while looking at the piano keys, My hands were trembling but.....
I have to overcome this
I started playing the piano trying to calm down, Just don't think about it and it'll go away, Just this once, I have to try not to think about the little girl,
I breathe in and then breathe out, I put both of my hand on the piano keys without pressing the keys, I closed my eyes and then think about my happy memories in the Orione Village, I thought about...
MY REAL MEMORIES
*PIANO PLAYING*

♩ ♬♩

♪ ♬♬
I think I am doing fine,
While I am playing the piano, Deyro beside me was singing, His voice is really beautiful, I looked at Deyro while playing and he also looked at me then smile, I smiled back at him then looked at the music sheets again in front of me
*LITTLE GIRLS LAUGHING INSIDE CALESIE'S HEAD*
No...
Don't appear...
"*LITTLE GIRL TALKING* We are good- good at playing the piano - piano when we are together-together," Her voice echoed inside my head,
"AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!" I screamed out of pain,
I can't take it anymore,
"Calesie are you okay?"
Because I was confused and in pain, when Deyro touched my shoulder asking me if I'm okay, I accidentally pushed his hand away from my shoulder,
I can see in Deyro's eyes that he's shocked because of what I have done, I am shocked too,
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't me-mean to do that,"
"It's okay, How are you feeling, You sound like your in pain, Are you okay?"
I can't look him in the eye,
"Ye-Yeah, Sorry Deyro I think I am going to use the bathroom quick, I'll be right back,"
"Calesie!"
I didn't expect Deyro will stop me from leaving, and I didn't realize that I am now crying,...
"Don't lie,"
"I'm not lying Deyro, Let go of me, I have to go to the bathroom,"
"If you're telling the truth then..."
