Episode four
Writing a song
Becca: Home. Actually house, doesn't feel like home to me
Cook: Miss Becca welcome home, what can I get for you (tries to take her school bag but Becca refuses)
Becca: Um, just make spaghetti sauce for me. That would be fine.
Cook: It will be ready in 30 mins, Ma'am
Becca: Alright. Bring it to my room. I will be eating there
Cook: Yes Ma'am
(Becca walks to her room, upstairs. She passes Lizzy's room and sees that she is inside listening to some music. She hasn't resumed school yet. She attends Royal college. It's beginning next week. Becca can't wait for her to leave. She goes to her room and drops her bag at the side of the bed)
Lizzy: Becca!
Becca can hear Elizabeth scream her name but does not want to reply. She undressed herself after preparing some casual clothes to wear.
About to tie a towel, Lizzy barges into her room.
Becca: Seriously? Give me some privacy. (tries to cover herself with her white towel)
Lizzy: Says someone who didn't lock the door.
Becca: You can't just barge into someone's room, Lizzy. You have to knock first.
Lizzy: What's there that I haven't seen that you're hiding?
I watched you grow! (Scoffs)
Becca: So? I still need my privacy, okay?
Lizzy: Privacy for a body that isn't hot or attractive
Becca: What do you want, Lizzy!
Lizzy: My headset. Hand it to me
Becca: I don't have your headset. What do I wanna use it for?
Lizzy: Don't play innocent to me. Hand them to me, right now!
Becca: I said, I didn't take them, sis
Even if I wanna, I wouldn't be able to, as you created a password to your room.
Lizzy: If I don't see it from now till tomorrow, I will deal with you!
Becca: Why don't you just buy another one? Stop pestering me.
Lizzy: So, I now pester you? (Becca ignores her and walks to the bathroom)
Lizzy: Becca! (Becca shut the door to the bathroom and lock it inside)
You're growing wings now, well, why wouldn't you, when you are the popular B singer of soprano voice in KBL.(storms off)
Becca: I wonder why she always says that. After an argument, she would say, Blablabla Because you are a star, Blablabla because you are a popular musician and Blablabla famous singer. Such a pain in the ass!
(Knock on the door.) Yes?
Cook: Miss, your food
Becca: Keep it on the table, the door is not locked
Cook: Yes, Ma'am. (Keeps it and leaves)
Becca took her bath, got dressed in a casual wear of a top on jean shorts. Put some light make-up on. Took her lunch and scrolled through her Instagram page, seeing different unreplied messages. They're fans' messages, She doesn't have time to reply to them, there are too many.
She takes a selfie and posted it on her Instagram and Twitter pages. Gets about 40 reactions in a minute, and 10 comments. Yeah, that's fans for you and they make being a star worth it.
A vibration on her phone indicating a call makes her log out of social media. It was Lucy calling.
Becca: Yes, Best?📞
Lucy: You're busy?📞
Becca: Not really. Just finished eating📞
Lucy: What did you eat?📞
Becca: Spaghetti sauce, sweetie. What did you eat?📞
Lucy: Haven't eaten. I am not hungry📞
Becca: Do you wanna develop an ulcer, Lucy? It isn't some fun thing to get!📞
Lucy: Wouldn't be bad to have ulcer, at least I would see something to blame for my losing of appetite📞
Becca: Do you know the pains that accompany ulcers, Lucy? Stomach pains, heart burns, nausea and dizziness. You wouldn't be able to manage that.📞
I don't want you to have an ulcer like me. It isn't a fun thing, baby girl📞
Lucy: I won't get ulcer, don't be scared📞
Becca: Whatever you say isn't finalized in my ears. Tell the cook to prepare macaroni and cheese for you to eat📞
Lucy: Uh, I will try to📞
Becca: You won't try to. You will eat it. I will force you to. I will tell my personal driver to take me to your house in 15mins📞
Lucy: I won't oppose your coming. I called to tell you to come, we need to practice that new song in the studio house📞
Becca:Alright. But we haven't gotten the solos📞
Lucy: Don't worry about that. They will all come once
Becca: Noted📞
Lucy: Um, yeah.

Becca: Why don't you call him?📞
Lucy: I'm not talking to him till he breaks up with his bitch📞
Becca:Then why would I talk to him?📞
Lucy: Please just talk to him📞
Becca: I am not gonna📞
Lucy: Fine It's an order.

Becca: Yeah, bye.📞 (She hangs up the call)
Let me leave this suffocating house. (She takes her guitar and her phone and walks down the stairs.)
Becca: Mr Tom, Mr Tom.
Huh, I hate using the intercoms but in this case, I have to. (Mr Tom comes to meet her at the sitting.)
Mr Tom: You called, Ma'am
Becca: You are to drive me to Lucy's house.
Mr Tom: Yes ma'am. Let's go
Becca: I'm going out. (shouts for Lizzy to hear)
Lizzy: Who cares? If you like remain outside till mom comes ( replies bluntly.)
Becca: Whatever
She enters the Mercedes350 car and straight they go to Lucy's house.
Lucy's house
Lucy: Looking at the world 🎶
Looking at its ways🎶
Life is zig zag 🎶 No. Life is different 🎶
Uh! I can't get the right Lyrics. Kris and Becca are always the ones with lyrics.
Becca: Bae, I'm here" (Becca enters into the studio)
Lucy: Good. I have been thinking about Lyrics but none were coming. Come help me out
Becca: It wouldn't come, because it isn't felt.
Only a person that got hit by life's game and fate's unpredictability can form the lyrics. And that person is me
Lucy: Becca….
Becca: Don't feel pity for me. I am fine" (she starts playing her guitar and turns the recorder on)
Fate, the world, life as a whole🎶 (she starts singing
Makes me wanna go beyond.. beyond to afterlife🎶
But, I gotta stay strong🎶 (Lucy joins her with her alto voice)
Lucy: Life is like an object created by man🎶
Making him seems like the owner of it🎶
Becca: But I will make my changes🎶
Lucy: Life makes a tune to dance to but we can make a change if we want to🎶
Becca: Sometimes the ways are complicated but we can try to understand them🎶
Lucy: Ohoooooooooooo
Becca: Life makes a tune to dance to
But we can make a change if we want to🎶
Kris: (enters singing) Life is a slave serving a king🎶
Manipulation can't ever try to rule me🎶
I make my plans and decide my fate🎶
Life is like an object created by man🎶
Making him seems like the owner of it🎶
But I will make my changes🎶
Life makes a tune to dance to. But we can make a change if we want to🎶
Becca and Lucy join: Sometimes the ways are complicated but we can try to understand them🎶
Ohooooo life makes a tune to dance to 🎶
KBL: But we can make a change if we want to….🎶🎵
Kris: And that raps it (claps)
Lucy: Yeah, Let's write the lyrics, we will release the song on Wednesday.
It needs more work
Becca: The lyrics?
Lucy: No. The tune and sounds.
Kris will play the drums as he always does and we will allow the instruments to play before the second solo. To make the song lengthy.
Kris: Okay. We should just practice it now
Lucy: No. I gotta learn some dance skills I recently saw on the internet. It's a challenge.
Becca: Okay, Lucy. You always love internet challenges anyways
Lucy: Yeah. Besides, it's evening already.
Kris: Okay then. We will meet tomorrow. But guys, can we talk outside music?
Lucy: Nope. We aren't talking to you until you do the needful
Kris: (Begs) But guys, you gotta reason with me, Just few months, I will break up with her, I promise
Becca: Then she should continue insulting us till then? You are not ready.
I'm leaving Lucy. Chat you before bedtime (Becca leaves for home.)
Lucy: I'm out too (Lucy leaves for her room leaving Kris there. He eventually leaves after waiting for some minutes.)
