Episode three
Tranquility
Becca and Lucy went to the sport's room and saw some students there already. The room is very big. There is also a sport's field for field games only and it is big and wide as well.
One thing about Royal high is that they don't joke with sports. Every good Sporter trace their beginnings from Royal high.
The school is known for having the best spotters and intellectuals. Little wonder why it is the best school in New York City and why it's very expensive and difficult to enter. A student must possess a talent and be able to pay the fees before entering.
Becca is a renowned golfer. Not the best though but among the top five of the whole New York City. Lucy however, is a good swimmer and usually takes the gold medal home, only once she took the silver medal. Kris is a very good basketballer attributing to his height. He is also good at soccer but doesn't go out for international competitions as a soccer player, only as a basketballer. This trio are the best to be friends because they are all stars.
Lucy: Basketball, I wonder how it is being played. I haven't tried playing before.
Sasha: (comes in from behind Lucy) Hi, Lucy (Sasha is the top player in the girls team.)
Lucy: (not interested to talk)Hi Sasha
Sasha: What are you doing here?
Lucy: (Irritated) Just wanna try out a new sport and basketball is my pick
Sasha: (laughs) Nice. But, you know, basketball isn't about swinging your legs and back stroking like swimming. It's totally different
Lucy: (Annoyed) What are you trying to say?!
Sasha: I'm saying, you can't do this, even if you try
Lucy: Are you aware that You are talking to L?
Sasha: So what? My boyfriend is K and that makes you and I at the same level
Kris: (enters) Wanna play basketball, Lucy?
Lucy: Yeah. Wanna give it a try
Kris: That's great. I will teach you
Sasha: Um, Do you think she will be able to learn? This isn't swimming you know
Lucy:(flares-up) What is wrong with you, Sasha? Because you are dating Kris that you think you can talk to me that way? Are you insane?
Kris: Lucy, don't be mad at her, she is just joking. Right, Sasha?
Sasha: (pretends) Of Course I'm joking
Lucy: Fuck you and your jokes. I'm outta here.(walks away angrily)
Who's that slut of a girl to talk to me that way. I would have slapped her but I just controlled myself.
Because she's good at basketball doesn't mean an amateur wouldn't be good. I wasn't trying to be good anyways, just wanted to try something new.
Huh! I guess, I will be heading to the table tennis session to be with Becca, at least get rid of this anger in me. I just hate that Sasha, proud and spoilt, definition of stupid!
At the table tennis courts
Becca: Table tennis isn't that bad, I kinda like it.
Uh huh, something happened to Lucy, she's fuming in my direction.(Drops the bat and ends the game.)
What happened, best?
Lucy: That slut at it again. She and her guts, how I hate her!
Becca: Lucy, you shouldn't bother yourself about her, she's always bitchy.
Lucy: If Kris doesn't break up with her and continues to make her disrespect us, we will not make him our friend anymore.
Becca: You have been saying this for months now
Besides, you and I know that Kris has some other girl if not girls. Kris is the one that should be reprimanded
Lucy: Yeah, you are right. But if we will not talk to him until dumps that bitch
Becca: Alright by me.
Playing sports?"
Lucy: No
Becca: Let's go to the library and write a new song.
Lucy: You got an inspiration?
Becca: Um, not really. But the quietness of the library will make muse visit us.
Lucy: Alright, let's go. Music however can only cool me down, right now. Let me feel tranquility again" (we begin to walk to the library)
Becca: Yeah.
I Hope I can for once feel tranquility. I can't remember the last time I felt peace and calmness.
Lucy: Becca, Life is always like this. It doesn't go the way we want.
Becca: Yeah, since Dad died in a plane crash, our beautiful family has lost its beauty. We no longer feel the bond between us not to even talk about love. Mom is always busy and Elizabeth is, you know, annoying as ever.
That house is unbearable that I don't think, I will ever have true tranquility
Lucy: Sweetheart. I will make you feel tranquility today. You will not be sad for the rest of the day
Becca: I hope so.
Lucy:(Aside)Becca is a sad girl. She doesn't show it, only I can see it. She's been sad since her father's death which happened a year ago, on his way back from Africa. He went there on a diplomatic mission as he was an ambassador of America.
I will try my best to make her feel happiness again, real happiness. I miss the joyful Becca
(They arrive at the library.)
Lucy: Becca, before you can feel tranquility. You have to free your mind from pain.
Becca: It's not that easy, Lucy. Especially when the memories are still fresh. Every time I spent with Dad is still in my mind and will not leave
Lucy: I'm not telling you to forget those memories. No bestie. Memories are important part of our lives. You can't do without them.
I am saying that you should just let your mind off the pains of the plane crash just for today. At least to feel tranquility
Becca: Um, how can I?
Lucy: Breathe in and out (Becca does that) Now close your eyes and imagine your deepest dreams. (Becca obeys)
Becca: Yeah, I'm liking this.
Lucy: So, what's your deepest dream?
Becca: Why do you wanna know?"
Lucy: Is it some guy?
Becca:Yes, I mean, part of.(Signs)I just want my life to be peaceful.
Lucy: Life can be complicated now. It doesn't go the way we want but one thing is that, you can change its course.
Becca: 🎵Life makes a tune to dance to. But we can make a change if we want to🎶
Lucy: Sometimes the ways are complicated but we can try to understand them🎶
Becca: Ohooo. I make my changes🎶
Lucy: Ohooo. Life can't dictate it🎶
Becca: Life makes a tune to dance to.🎶
Lucy: But we can make a change if we want to🎶
Becca: Life makes a tune to dance to🎶
Lucy: But we can make a change if we want to🎶
Becca: We just made a song. Told you we will get inspiration.
Lucy: Yes, Becca. We sure did. Are you okay now?
Becca: I am so, okay. I love you Lucy (Hugs Lucy)
Lucy:I love you too. Becca (Hugs her back)
Kris:(comes in) What did I miss? (The girls disengage but don't reply him)
Common, I can't be greeted by silence
Lucy: If you stop dating that insulting bitch, then we will talk to you. Let's go, Becca.
Kris: Guys, common don't do this to me. You know I can't stay without you guys talking to me! (They ignore him and leave)
The bell rings and the students dispersed home. First day of resumption doesn't usually have more than two lessons taught in royal high.
Becca and Lucy went to their individual houses and planned to meet later for a music rehearsal on their new song.
They are the popular KBL musicians on the internet. They have about 3.25 million views.
Music is a major part of their life.
