Chapter 8 - CHAPTER SEVEN

Melissa's P. O. V resumes - -

Getting home, I opened the door with a spare key and got in. Of course the house was empty since Mom was at the bakery and Melvin was at the college. I went straight to my room to freshen up, I took a quick shower after which I got dressed in black shorts and a black loose shirt and tied my hair up.

I left my room and headed downstairs going straight for the kitchen where I made myself a bowl of noodles and sat down to eat. After I was done, I did the dishes and climbed back up to my room. I had nothing more to do so I took out my phone and turned it on. Someone sent me a message.

I checked who it was cause last time I checked, I only had a few numbers on my phone. No friends, remember?. It was an unknown number. I opened the text and read through it. "Hey Mel, it's Gianna. Are you home yet? Just decided to text you so you can save my number. Save my number now sweet heart. " The text read. The three of us had exchanged numbers earlier at school. I shook my head at her sweet yet weird words.

I quickly saved her number and texted her back. " Hey Gianna. I'm home now, thanks for asking and I've saved your number. " I put down the phone and sat on my bed. I still can't believe I made friends on my first day. In my years in junior high, I couldn't make a single friend. I don't know, I guess I just found it hard to mingle and I always wanted to be alone. Mom was always worried that I'd grow to be an introverted stuck up person.

She'll be so surprised and happy to know I made two friends on my first day. I'm kinda happy too. I took out my diary and wrote down my day's event after which I picked up my phone and my headset and connected them, I played one of my favorite songs. 'Love of my life' by Jennifer Lopez and tied my loose shirt.

I wore on the headset and let myself dive into the music. I'm gonna do I what I do best - dance. Yeah, I'm a mad dancer - not that I'm bragging or anything, I just know it's my thing,,, my mirror can testify to that. I dance so I don't forget my dad. Whenever I danced, memories of my father would resurface and no matter how sad I got, it always felt just right.

I remember how he used to wake I and Melvin up with a song every morning, how he'd play music and start dancing out of the blue whenever we were bored, tired or sad. To me, my Dad was the greatest dancer that ever lived - why do I say so?,, He taught me everything I know.

Whenever I was sad, he'd say "listen Princess, you know what'll make you feel better??,,, Some really good body movement ,, yunno something to shake off the sadness. Nothing helps better. How about we do that?, Let's not forget the music, it'll be insane to dance without music." and then we'll dance. He always said I was gonna make him proud and I'm surely not gonna let him down. "I'll make you proud Daddy. I promise." I muttered and touched the star pendant of the chain on my neck.

I stopped dancing and sat on the floor and blew away the strand of hair on my face. "Oh Dad, can you feel how much I miss you?,, Who am I kidding, that's not even possible." I said and was about getting up when I heard my Mom call me from downstairs - when did she get back?... "Coming Mom" I replied and went out to meet her..

******************Author's P. O. V:

~~ GOLDEN RECORDS ~~

Two sparkling cars drove to a stop in front of the big building. The first one opens and three teenage boys got out, the second was also opened and two other boys get out. "Hey Golden Records, your most handsome King has returned!". One of the boys said loudly with both his hands spread out.

"And there he goes again." Another one of the boys said while rolling his eyes. "Huh?. What is that supposed to mean?" The first boy asked with his eyes narrowed. "Nothing. It does feel good to be home though." The second boy said and two others nodded in agreement. While this was happening, the last boy had already gone in.

"Hold, did Diamond just walk in without us?" The second guy asked the others. "Yes he did." One of the other two replied. "Why does he always do that? " The first guy said while they went in. "Where you expecting him to stand here waiting for you to get in or what? Diamond will never do that." The second asked him rhetorically. "Typical Diamond." The first guy added.

Wondering who these guys are, are we?. They're the famous Golden boys we've been hearing so much about. The first guy is Lucas, he's a narcissist - he's got so much love for his face, always has a mirror on him. He's the lady's Man and a big cassanova. Jayden is the second guy, he's the overly serious one, always reading too, a scientist whose experiments never ceases to annoy his friends. Haha.

There's Kayden, he's Jayden's twin, a total opposite of him though - he's the less smart one and he's very much annoying. Owen is the fourth one, he's calm and collected, very understanding and the nicest of them all and finally we have Diamond, the leader of the band, there are no explanations for his personality, you'll see.

They just got back from Chicago where they held an international concert- Yup! They're no local band, they're world wide. The most popular high school band in the United States. They were welcomed by their crew and colleagues. "Welcome back boys". Their manager, Mr. Kingsley said to them and those who were willing to reply did with a thank you...
