Chance

Chapter 6: Failure

Chapter 6 -Failure

It's 7 in the evening and I just got home from school. After class Tammy and I attended rehearsals and we learned a choir song for the first time. Sir Zach decided that Tammy was gonna be an Alto while I'm gonna be a Soprano. Cyrus and I haven't had the chance to talk at rehearsals because we have separate vocal excises for different types of voices. But he did send me a text...

"Thanks for today. I look forward to our next lunch with each other."

After reading his text, I was smiling like a complete idiot in my room. I bravely replied...

"Can't wait. See you tomorrow."

My phone vibrated before I even had the chance to put it down.

"So, tomorrow then?"

What? I didn't mean it like that. He must have taken it the wrong way.

"What? No, I didn't mean it like that. I meant see you tomorrow, at school." I replied.

"It's okay, I know what you meant. ;)"

Of course he doesn't! He got it the wrong way.

"You really misunderstood it Cyrus."

"No need to explain, Katy." He replies really fast, I can't even put my phone down for a second.

"Ah, you win." I sent in defeat.

It's useless to argue with Cyrus, he doesn't give up that easily, and he is quite persistent.

"Don't worry, it will be my treat. So what are you doing?"

He shouldn't do this. If he continues this, I might get use to it.

"Breathing." I laughed as I press send.

"Other than obvious? What are you really doing?"

"I'm about to do my plate, I have to finish all my drawings now because it's due tomorrow." I replied.

"Oh, then you should do them. I'll just see you tomorrow. Do your best Katy!"

I'm surprised. He's actually gonna let me do my work. I'm really happy about it. He understands that school work shouldn't be taken for granted.

"Thanks! See you tomorrow." I'm a bit hesitant to send this because I'm happy that we're actually having a conversation thru text but, I have to do my drawings.

"Don't stay up too late, good night Katy." I was not expecting that he'd say goodnight, his last message made my night. I'm pumped up thanks to him.

It's already 5 in the morning and I'm almost done with my drawings. I haven't slept yet, but I am going to have a nap later on. I shifted my attention to my phone because it vibrated. Cyrus sent a text. Wow he's quite the early riser, isn't he?

"Good morning Katy! See you later, I'll meet you at the usual."

I replied as fast as I could,

"Good morning Cyrus. Have a good day. See you."

After a while I was able to finish my plate. I hope what I've done is enough. I hope Arch. Pascual appreciates it, I did everything I could to finish it. I didn't even eat dinner with my family, I'm glad Papa and Mama understood. Mama even got up at 12 just to check on me, she made me tuna sandwich for my midnight snack. I'm glad their supportive.

I heard a knock on my door 15 minutes after I took a nap.

"Get up Katy or else I'm leaving you. I don't wanna be late for school." My brother clearly stated.
