"Where's Serenity?"
Malkiel looked around the area to scan once again but like before he couldn't see Serenity.
"Ahhh Quincey said she'll be a little late"
"Why? Do you already miss her?"
Malkiel could feel his cheeks burn but he just waved it off which made the others laugh at him.
"Don't worry, the two girls said she'll be running late only. Now, get your head on the game"
He let out a deep sigh and nodded at Drystan. He was nervous if he was being honest. Serenity had seen him perform in their classroom and during practices but it was different with an actual performance. He wanted to do so well now.
"What? Why are you still dilly-dallying around here?"
The group turned around and saw Galene and Quincey coming their way. Malkiel's shoulder went lax when he saw that Serenity wasn't with them.
