Chapter 32

       ~~~~~~ AFTER TWO YEARS ~~~~~

Amelia's p.o.v;

At college, In the music club,

Hannah gave me a whack on the head after I yawned.

"What was that for?" I berated her.

"If you want to yawn, go somewhere else. don't do it in front of me and make me lose my patience. Will you stop yawning in the middle of my class?"

"Hmph!"

I got to my feet and moved away from Hannah and the junior freshmen. I find it hard to comprehend that I am now a senior.

It feels like only yesterday that we were all in diapers, trying to keep up with the rest of our class. How quickly things have changed.  When was it? When did my life transform into this one? How could someone change from childhood to adulthood, so rapidly?

I pulled out my phone and looked through the music club's group messaging for any notification. I grinned when I noticed that, even after all these years, my old group chat with Hannah and Cathy and other pals was still active. I didn't bother reading any more and instead scrolled over it.

"Senior?"

I noticed who it was when I looked up. It's Carey, a junior in the classical music department.

"What is it?"

"Can I go home today, I forgot my guitar?"

I handed her my guitar and said, "Take this and join them. This Friday, we have an event to perform so go and practice hard."

"Yes, Senior."

"Don't forget your guitar tomorrow. I can't share mine with you everyday. I could also forget it one day like you."

She went to the others for practice after receiving the guitar from me. These newcomers are very slothful. Why do these guys always ask for permission before leaving when we have a performance event? Was I the same way too? No, I recall remaining behind and working on my technique even after everyone else had left. But I haven't gotten used to it yet. The situation is the same for us as they are carefree. most of them, that is. There are still a few of them that appear to take their time before leaving, albeit some of them are more reserved than others.

There were a few spectators, but we were the only ones performing. I believe everyone else left earlier than anticipated. There wouldn't be any more entertainers on stage for a few more hours. But the fact that nobody else had been here earlier seemed weird.

I walked out of the music club after turning to look at Hannah, who was instructing the new students.

I went to the cafeteria and ordered drinks for my juniors. As I waited for the drink, I yawned once more. My head hurt with each beat of my heart, and I was aware that it would only grow worse before it got better. I still had a few duties to finish even though the school year was coming to a conclusion, like making sure all of my juniors were on track for their senior year.

"Have you had a good night's sleep?"

I looked behind and saw Brian standing infront of me.

"Yes, I had prepared for the situation by practising."

"Why are you practising so diligently?"

"Now that I'm in charge, I need to be extra careful to avoid making mistakes, am I right?"

"When was the occasion?", he asked as he put his head on my shoulder.

"Next Friday."

"Your drinks are ready, Ms. Scott." the server said as I was speaking to Brian.
