CALESIE'S POINT OF VIEW (POV)
We are now outside of the room where the performance is going to be held, waiting to be called out by whoever is in charge of calling us,
"Calesie drink this," Deyro offered,
"Thank you," I guess he's still worried, I came up with an excuse earlier at the music room but I guess he didn't believe it,
( FLASHBACK 1 HOUR AGO )
"I am not crying,"
"What do you call those tears streaming down into your face then?"
"Uhhh...." I have to come up with an excuse, I wiped my tears off, while wiping I came up with the most stupid reason ever,
"This tears?" I asked pointing at my eyes,
"Uhhh..... Well, When I am needing of going to the bathroom, and I can't hold it back, my eyes were starting to tear up, so I ha-have to go," that's the lamest excuse ever,
"Calesie wait,"
Deyro called but I already went outside of the music room,
( END OF FLASHBACK )
Since then, Deyro didn't ask why I'm crying until at the very end of our practice,
After I cried in front of the girl's bathroom mirror, I felt a lot better, I tried playing the piano again, but it will take some time to play without memories appearing even so I wanted to do my best even if it means conquering this unknown memory,
"Bessy are you okay? you look so nervous " Hailey asked,
"Was it too obvious?"
"Yep,"
"It was just, It's my first time performing in front of them, It's making me nervous, I hope I'll do okay,"
"Well, you just have to think about why you are here and if you did I am sure that you won't be nervous anymore, think about your dream and not about the performance, just be your self Bessy,"
What Hailey said made me a little confident about myself for today's performance,
"Thank you bessy, I don't know what I'll do without you," I said
"Anytime Bessy, Just call me when you need your NERVOUS-GO-AWAY-PILL" Hailey said jokingly
"Yes, I will surely do,"
"MISS CALESIE RAE AND DEYRO NAMPSON!! PLEASE COME INSIDE!!" A voice inside of the room shouted,
"Calesie, It's our turn!" Deyro said,
Let's do this Calesie Rae,
"Good luck Bessy!" Hailey cheered
"Thanks, Good luck to you and Aldrin to Bessy,"
Deyro and I walk going towards the room's entrance,
"Let's do what we can to pass Calesie,"
"Hmm, good luck to us Deyro,"
We entered the room where the judges are waiting, There glance when you entered is so scary, The room is so big and there's a piano beside the room, That's my place,
The judges were in front of us where there's a long table,
"Name?!" Miss Lauren asked
"Deyro Nampson,"
"Your son is a grown-up now huh? Peter?" Miss Lauren looked at the man seated beside the judge's table staring at Deyro, my guess is he must be Deyro's father,
"What's your name girl?" Miss Lauren is not even looking at me when she asked that question,
"Calesie Rae",
"I know since my daughter told me you were friends," the way she talks to me was sarcastic,
"Oohhhh...." Miss Lauren was amazed by something while looking at the list
"So you're one of the three teenagers who won the scholarship here at our University, Anyways nothing interesting about you since there's no record, You can get started,"
She signals us with her hand meaning we have to start,
Deyro and I went to where the piano is since that's the place where we are going to perform, What I feel right now are mixed up I'm.....
Nervous.....
Confident....
Excited.... and at the same time...
SCARED...
I put the music sheet in front of me where I can see it then sat on the chair where the piano is in front of me,
"Calesie We can do this, Just like we practiced,", Deyro whispered, I nodded at him while smiling trying to tell him that I will do my best,
I looked at the keys, then my hands, my sight is blurry...
*LITTLE GIRL LAUGHING INSIDE CALESIE'S MIND*
NOT NOW!!
I have to take control of this or else we'll fail this project,
Deyro is counting on me,
I took a deep breath and then looked at my hands again, my sight is slowly getting clear,
"You can do it Calesie," I said whispering, trying to cheer myself up,
I let my fingers touched the piano, I softly pressed the keys like a feather, I was playing the piano while looking at the music sheets in front of me, I also feel like dancing since whenever I am pressing the piano's keys, half of my body was synchronizing to the rhythm of the music,
*PIANO PLAYING*

I let my fingers do what they want, my fingers were like a feather, dancing on the piano, Deyro's voice was synchronizing on the piano's music, If you wanted me to describe what I am feeling right now,
I'm really happy,

We are enjoying the performance,
I hope that the judges are enjoying the performance like how we're enjoying it,
*MINUTES LATER*
We are finally finished! I did it! We did it! I can't believe it! The judges didn't even stop us from our performance,
"You did it Calesie!" Deyro raised his right-hand meaning he wants a high five, I accept his offer and then said,
"We did it Deyro,"
Deyro and I smiled at each other because of our success,
We looked at the judges and then we bowed as a sign that we are finished,
But.....
I was still nervous since the judges were just looking at us, Without moving and talking, they were like frozen looking at us with there eyes,
But after seconds...
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA," The dean was laughing, I became more nervous, Was our performance funny?
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA," The dean continued to laugh but what he did next shocked the both of us,
*CLAPPING HANDS*
The dean is now standing up, clapping his hands while laughing,
"I LOVE IT!!! YOU DID A GREAT JOB CALESIE AND DEYRO, I'm amazed by your performance, I was like being drag into a new place when you started playing don't you agree, John and Lauren?"
Miss Lauren and Mr. John was still looking at us like they were still shocked,
"Ye-Yeah students, we enjoyed your performance and I think that your performance is the best among all of the performances that we have seen so far," Mr. John praised us, I can't believe it! It's such an honor getting a good job from the famous composer,
"What can you say to their performance honey?" The Dean asked still smiling at his wife,
Mrs. Lauren was not even blinking, I didn't want to assume this but she's looking at me like she's scanning me,
"Honey?" Because the dean called Mrs. Lauren again, she stopped staring at me
"Ye-Yeah, You did a good job, I love your performance,"
She looked like she's not herself, is Mrs. Lauren okay?
"Thank you for that performance, You can leave now then wait for the result later," Mrs. Lauren continued,
"Thank you," We smiled at them, then bowed,
We were about to leave when suddenly,
"WAIT!" We stopped because Miss Lauren stopped me, I was shocked because she suddenly shouted,
"Why didn't I realized about it sooner...." She was coming towards me while saying that, I was confused because she was looking at me looking so sad and worried, Mrs. Lauren is now near me, She held both of my hand then touched my face with her right hand's palm,
"You looked exactly like her,"
"Uhhhh.....", I don't know what to say, I am speechless, I looked exactly like who?
" I missed you so much, My lovely daughter," she suddenly hugged me..... Daughter? Who? Me? But Adeline is her daughter, Right?
"Uhhhhhh...Miss Lauren?"
"Honey!" The Dean shouted
"Go back here and leave Calesie alone, She is not her! She died! remember?! we are there!"
I am getting confused here? Who died?
"Right....." Miss Lauren let go of the hug while wiping her tears, She's crying,
"I am so sorry Calesie..... I just thought that maybe....." Miss Lauren looked so sad,
"I-It's okay..." I said
Miss Lauren went back to her seat, I am still looking at her,
"Come on Calesie," I followed Deyro, while still confused from what just happened, Mr. Franco also told me the same thing when he saw me, he told me that
I looked like someone who died,
"What's that all about?" Deyro asked looking at me
"I don't know,"
We went outside of the room where there are a lot of students waiting for there turn, we searched for Hailey and Aldrin but we couldn't find them, Where are they?
"Bessy!" It was Hailey's voice from behind, I turned around and saw Hailey walking towards me,
"Bessy where did you go?" I asked,
"Well, I went to the bathroom, A nervous girl has to do her private thing too you know," Hailey whispered so I slightly laughed,
"So how did it go?"
"I think that we did a good job since the judges praised us"
"Really? Wow!"
Hailey's alone, Where's Aldrin?
"Where's Aldrin?" I asked
"He's just practicing somewhere, "
"Hailey!!! It's our turn!!" It was Aldrin's voice coming towards us,
"Really?!! Oh my gosh!! I am so nervous and excited, I have to get ready,"
"You can do it, Bessy!! I am here to cheer for you right outside the room,"
"Good luck bro," Deyro cheered Aldrin up while raising his left hand showing it to Aldrin holding a fist offering Aldrin to do the same thing with him,
"Thanks, bro," Aldrin did the same thing, it was a fist bump,
Aldrin and Hailey then went inside the room, I know they are so nervous and I know how that feels like, But knowing them I know that they can do it,
"Hope you pass Bessy" I whispered to myself cheering them,
"C!!!!! Give me your autograph please!!!!"
I heard a scream somewhere near where we are,
"What is happening over there?"
"I heard that C is here at the campus"
"Really? Oh my God!! Let's go and ask for his autograph" two girls were passing by us who was having that conversation,
"He is always the reason why there's a commotion," Deyro whispered, I was curious why he said that Does he know him?
"He? "
"Yeah, he's C, he is my childhood friend and he is the reason why I didn't get to play the piano..... I hope he will be okay with those many girls chasing after him" Deyro said while we are staring at many girls chasing after that guy C,
"Is he a celebrity?"
"You don't know him?" I looked at Deyro because he sounds so shocked
"Uhhh.... No? Why? Am I supposed to know him?"
"No, of course not, But you know what they say,"
"What is it?"
"They say that, if you don't know him you are not a real person living on this planet,"
"Well.... I don't know him am I an alien now?" I asked jokingly,
"No, but C is quite famous, I never have imagined that I will get to meet a person who doesn't know C"
"Uhhh....Deyro I think, C is coming towards here,"
"What? If he comes here all of the girls are gonna come here, it'll be a disaster for me,"
"Deyro where are you going?" I asked because Deyro was trying to run away,
"Sorry, I have to go now Calesie text me if the result comes out," He shouted as he runs away, Was he trying to run away from C?
"But I don't have your number" I complained
"You don't, but Hailey has it, text me okay?"
I looked at Where C is, he's almost near where I am,
"C AUTOGRAPH!!!"
Whew! It's a good thing a lot of girls blocked him,
"Bessy!!!"
I turned around and see Hailey smiling at me,
"It's done? How was it?"
"It was so fantastic the judges said that we did so well on our performance," She's nearly going to cry but still smiling, I'm so proud of them
"Congratulations bessy,"
"Thanks, bessy, but..... Where is Deyro?"
"Uhhhh... He's....." I was about to say that he left but Hailey looked like she had seen a ghost behind me,
I turned around and I saw him behind me wearing a cap,
"Do you know where Deyro went? I saw him talking to you earlier," He looked at me but his cap is hiding his eyes,
"IS THAT YOU?!!! C!!!!" I was startled because Hailey just shouted behind me,
"Shhhh....Yes I am so please quite down miss or else there will be a bunch of girls coming here" He whispered while trying to pull his cap down,
"Do you know where Deyro went?"
"C!!!! PLEASE GIVE US AN AUTOGRAPH!!!" many girls shouted running towards us they must have heard Hailey's scream
"Oh Shoot! Come with me, I need to where he is," He grabbed my hand as he was about to pull me but Aldrin him,
"Let go of her" Aldrin demanded,
"I won't because she has to tell me where Deyro went,"
"Look, I don't know where he went," He looked at me as if he knows that I'm lying,
"C!!! AUTOGRAPH!!!" We all looked at the girls who were chasing after C,
"Oh, sh*t!" He let go of my hand, then he runs away,
I looked at where he went, running away from those girls screaming, wanting to get his autograph,
His voice and how he spoke to me, I don't know why but,
