The heading of time isn't great. A lot of things needed to be done. I don't know if I still endure all of the happenings cause nothing changed me at all, not suddenly. Smyth appeared"Hey..." Smyth said"What are you doing here? Is there something wrong?" I ask"None, but I came here today just to tell you that I'll be going abroad."Smyth is like having an observation on me, I don't know if it's a prank or not."My mom and dad want me to proceed abroad for my studies. I know this won't bother you, I just wanted to let you know. ""Why do you need to tell me? It's not a bother to me, so don't worry. ""I just want you to update. Surely I knew in myself that you'll ask soon,""You're so ambitious, huh?""Apparently," he smirked, and I irritated that way"Stop, it's nonsense.""Okay, sure, kinda bit assuming this time,""I see.""I need to go now, tomorrow would be my flight, see you soon, Lexiana.""Yeah, have a safe flight tomorrow, and good luck to your new journey.""Yes, and thank you!"He hugged me, and he left. He left with giving me an assurance that I knew it would make me complacent.After our break time, we rehearsed for the performance of Drum and Lyre. Friday would be the performance day, so I need to be there. I don't like the feeling once they knew that I didn't join, so I'll do my best this time."How are you, Lexiana? It's been a while. Are you okay now?" Our majorette ask me"Yes, I'm already okay Ate, let's proceed with our practice now,""That's good to hear."After that, we started our roles, and all of us are ready, so we do our own roles that involve the sudden changes of steps.Having cooperation towards the Drum and Lyre Corps makes me feel confident at the same time. It sends me to better collaboration towards the corps.Fortunately, I see myself leading it. I knew it would be me, not to be assuming, but all of them appointed me to be their majorette, but I rejected it. I'm not old enough to prove to myself that I can do it."Lexiana will be our majorette this time. As I pass by the crown, she will lead the entire Drum and Lyre Corps, as the previous majorette, I want, and we want Lexiana Mexi Siviel to lead the entire Drum and Lyre Corps!" Our majorette said (Ate Celine) to everybodyMe? As a majorette?I'm not ready, but if that's for the better, then I'll proceed.[Lexiana Mexi Siviel as majorette of the Drum and Lyre Corps of Xavier School] Title received"Don't worry, Lexiana, I'll teach you," Ate said"Sure, Ate Celine, thanks."She taught me all the steps and even how to lead, they will lead the school with some activities so Ate assigned me to be her majorette, so I can't do anything but to follow them.I've also been in a previous corporation, and I also became a majorette, but years ago, there's no reason for me not to imply that I can't do it, but to be honest I'm good with it."I'm actually impressed by what you do. Be sure you will go, okay? I'll be there to guide""Sure thing enough, Ate Celine.""Okay, I'll expect that." Ate Celine saidAfter that, we proceeded with the steps, and for me as an easy learner, I already knew what to do.Single practice is just ordinary for us, after clearly noticing that others are following in each stepAs for our break time comes, i sat down, and someone called meIt was mom.(M: Mom, L: Me)M: When will your performance day be? Your teacher message meL: On Friday, MomM: Okay, I'll hire some stylist and everything for you, don't hold up that much, we will watch youL: Okay, mom, thanksM: Tell me if there's a problem, okay? I'll be hereL: Yes, momI dropped the call, and I see Mia"How are you?" Mia asked me"O-Okay? Half okay, half not. ""Why?""After the accident, I feel like I'm lost, Bryle is very impulsive of leaving me there, I wish my heart fails that time,""You don't need to, you know what, I tried to let him to talk to you, but Bryle leave immediately, I don't know if he do it just for fame or just for himself" Mia said"Mia, whatever I'll do, it won't change the fact that it's already happened, I accept the fate of us,""Luna, you shouldn't be. You don't deserve the treatment he do to you,""I wish, though, but I can't change it anymore.""Change what?" Fabian Luis interrupted us"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in class?" I ask"Well, our adviser, let us watch you,""What a coincidence""Why?""Almost all of the high school students are here at the gym..." I stopped when Ate Celine approached me"Let's start?" Ate Celine said"Yes, Ate, let's go, Mia.""Sure," Mia saidWe immediately start our practice, and here we are, performing our special steps, not until I notice a lot of people who are watching us. I felt like I was shy, but I could manage it very well."Go, Lexiana!" Someone shouted at the backNot until I look that person at the backIt's....XaviunHe is one of the drummers of our corporation, and I didn't expect that he would shout while we were performing. There is Celestina, who is teasing me at her own acts, I just remained silent and continued my own performance.Bryle is also watching me from afar.Xaviun can be good, but I knew in my heart that one time I'll end up with someone, not him.Depends on what will happen in the future.My mind blew out when the music played.'If I had to live my life without you near meThe days would all be emptyThe nights would seem so long
With you, I see forever, oh, so clearly
I might have been in love before
But it never felt this strong'
And it makes me feel really good inside. Slowly but surely, not until he slowly walks towards me, they give space for him to walk and not to assume, but is he coming towards me?'Our dreams are young, and we both knowThey'll take us where we want to goHold me now, touch me nowI don't want to live without you'He holds the mic, and it turns out he sings the song, "Nothings gonna change my love for you." It is the title, and I think that is so fast, shit, is this for real?Like it's literally happening? In front of me also? Like what??'Nothing's gonna change my love for youYou oughta know by now how much I love youOne thing you can be sure ofI'll never ask for more than your love'He actually stops in between and likes the music to change. They give the flowers to him, like they give space, and he proceeds to me'It's not the flowers wrapped in fancy paperIt's not the ring I wear around my fingerThere's nothing in all the world I needWhen I have you here beside me, here beside me,'Is he the man who will pursue no matter what happens?Hey, is this a day dreaming? Can someone wake me up?Damn, He's getting closer.Like what I'm supposed to do?'So you could give me wings to flyAnd catch me if I fallOr pull the stars down from the skySo I could wish on them all'He reached my hand and spoke at the mic. The music still played, but it was not that louder"Lexiana, I know this is a surprise for you but can I take your hand to be my partner at our promenade, as I want you to be my partner and as a chance for me to dance for you. Can you be my cotillion girl?"Like a lot of people who were waiting for my answer, I felt shy."Yes, I'll allow you Kuya Xaviun to be my partner," I said, but not in the mic"Thank you, Lexiana. Thank you, sir!" he said, and like he doesn't want to proceed on his own path, he wants to stay beside me, like it's too weird.I just give him a chance for that, but I won't give my first dance to him.I look at my side, and I see those 2 men, Fabian Luis and Bryle, who raise their eyebrows at meMy ghad Lexiana, why do you always result in these?Like you know them, like what the hell, how?Are they jealous?Shut up, I don't want to be stupid anymore.Especially on them, like I feel sick with their treatment, is this normal?I want to go over with them, but the way Kuya Xaviun asked, I couldn't resist. I knew in myself that one time this could happen, especially right now that there are 3 in the group who are half in love or having a crush on me.I'm not the person who is pretty, but why? Why me?It's hard to define the reality of it. Like I was played off.After our practice, we immediately go back to the room, and there they are, like they have some criticisms at me, and their eyes are having a question to me like, why do I take their love? Like eww, no, no, no, and never.Periodt...
"Lexiana," Fabian Luis called me"Yes?""Are you sure about your decision?" He asked"What decision?" I ask"Your answer for being his partner, I know that you are just forced to answer cause you are shy to him,""I'm not like that, I'm in front of a lot of people, and once I reject him, I know they will bash me.""We are here to protect you,""Thank you, but I can deal with it,""Lexiana, you should reject it already," Bryle said"How come you are here again?" I asked"Lexiana, you have rights, I named it even you are scared, there's still months ahead with that you know it, be faithful with it, but not on him cause we didn't accept" Bryle said"So what do you want me to do?""Proceed with Kuya Xaviun, and you're going to tell me that there is someone I let to be my partner even though there is none, Lexiana, you decide, we just want to protect you.""I know, but is that right? Like I can hurt that person. ""I know, we know, but not at all times you follow him, leave him, he's grade 10 Lexiana for sake."I was silent, and I just sat down on my chair and dragged down everything.Fabian Luis and Bryle are there to give space and ready to shoulder any situation, but I don't know what will happen soon enough once I reject Kuya Xaviun, I don't know what his action will be."Are you thinking of backing out?" Mia said"How? Like I answered him directly a while ago, and it's hard to tell that I'll just not let him be my partner, like how long to be?""Define your heart this time, let Fabian Luis and Bryle be your guide, they just want you to hide with all accusations you have been through, Lexiana think it first, and first of all you know that the promenade is for February and the month today is November, it's too wide for you to think off, remember everything Lexiana not only once, twice but thrice. I'm not here to influence you, but I must say it brings you the peace you wanted to. You are not like others in that you always said yes and not a no. Prioritize all Lexiana. We don't want you to end up like that. Not a simple move can bring you down. Always remember that." Mia said"Everybody settle down, later on we'll gather for our celebration for the feast day and recollection, but right now the Drum and Lyre Corps are having ready to the band and as well as the monitoring of the school, as associated, our school director, he wanted to be pleased for your wonderful performances as you take the opportunity to risk and chances. Some matters can be easy and hard, so keep it hard and enjoy." Our adviser told usWhat I see this time has a lot of moments and hardships. I know I can do this, but how?It's time to figure out everything right now.Go and never go the least.Bryle POVI see Lexiana's hard work even though I'm far from her. She deserves the world that there are no people who destroy her, but I need to do this.Look after her even though I am far. I knew in myself that I could be his soldier outside and inside of the campus. Rather, I wanted to be alone.But for now, I'll stay away first at her, and I promise to myself I'll be going back to her soon."Bryle, why don't you go with Lexiana?" Josh, ask me"I think this isn't the perfect timing bro, just let her," I replied"Bro, are you sure?" He asked me"I am sure for it," I assured him"Just don't let Lexiana fall to others, I warn you, she is the girl that has the uniqueness of everything, so do what you can to keep her," Josh advised me"Yes, bro, I will," I said"Good luck." He said, and he left immediatelyI know Josh was concerned about Lexiana, but I just let him speak rather than not speak to him.He became Lexiana's friend when they were in grade 7, and now I think Josh knew something with Lexiana, so I let it.Just wait for me, Lexiana, I'll assure you, you'll be mine soon.Lexiana's SideIt's already Thursday, and most commonly, we limit our work. We are busy with the schedule, but we can deal with it. Tomorrow is a big day for me, especially since I am ahead of the corporation. I don't hate actually, I love it. It is my fashion."Are you done with your floatation, Lexiana?" Fabian Luis said"Why?""It's already 5, aren't you going home yet?""Oh my, sorry I didn't see the time. Thank you for saying it." I get my bag and rush to go outside"Gladly I told you, otherwise you'll be left alone here,""Yeah and sorry about that, I need to go,"He is there guiding me cause I have my own things to carry for."Hey Lexiana, come over!" Kuya shouted and stopped at my front"What are you doing here, kuya?" I ask"Mom told me to pick you up, just to make sure you'll be safe," Kuya said"Lexiana, here are your things, be safe," Fabian Luis said"Yes, thank you," I said while I'm putting my things on the car and switching my place, going to the passenger seatKuya just nodded and drove away"Kuya, where are we going?" I ask"Okada, just to prepare everything for tomorrow,""Are you sure kuya?" I ask"Yes, mom told me, " Kuya saidLike, I just stamp without a reason, like why? Why Okada? Are they sure about this?First of all, I doubt, but that is mom's idea, so I won't be guilty just in case.When we reach Okada, Kuya hands the keys to the driver and he helps me with my things. He also proceeds with the receptionist for the key card and the receptionist gives him the key card, we proceed to that room and mom is already there."Just on-time Lexiana. Are you ready for tomorrow?""Yes, mom,""Then I have no problem with it, rest first,""Mom, can I eat first? I'm hungry, " I said"Sure, let's go down and eat. After you eat, you immediately sleep. You need more rest, no eyebags, okay?""Yes, mom, I will,"We went downstairs and ate, and after we ate, mom let me sleep as early as 7 pm. I knew in myself that mom wouldn't allow me to perform in a bad aura.The next dayThe big day has come, it is the performance day, 5 am when mom wakes me up, she told me to take a bath and here is me, sleepy head girl, I wonder if mom is not stressed about everything, she even organizes this all, now there is no doubt to be not prepared. She also plans for the hairstyle and everything like all in one.After I take a bath, I wear my clothes and they are already there, they access me and everything. I also eat my breakfast and get ready to proceed with makeup and hair, they also level up my hairstyle with a customized studio like I was shocked.I'm not a fan of customizing something, but why do I do this? Just mom did this all, and well, I can't do anything about it.I have my driver on so I can immediately proceed without traffic. It wasn't like the typical parade or something, but it's just a simple parade that you just round the town.After all the things made I immediately went to the car and yes it was direct to my school at first they are so loud but in a second matter when they see me it's like they are amazed with my appearance."Lexiana, over here!" Celestina, approach me"What is going on?" I ask"Symth immediately pulls off his ticket going abroad just to see you!" Celestina screams"What?! Are you serious? I am the reason why he pulls out his ticket?! And why?!" I ask Celestina, but somebody answers on the back."Cause I wanna see you and look after everything because I fell on you, I fell in love with you, Lexiana," Symth said
