A sweet and soft melodious voice woke me up from my sleep at 5:32 in the morning, not even up to the time I set my alarm to ring.
I looked at my side to the other bed but couldn't find Cynthia. "Could she be the one that has this soft, innocent and melodious voice? Can someone like her sing like that?", I thought. I got up from the bed and traced the sound of the music to her private room. I opened the door gently and found the room purplish, shining and the mesmerizing melody from her voice soothed my ears. I didn't know when I said 'wow'. She looked back, smiled and said "Good morning". "Good morning", I replied. "You slept well?", she asked. "Yeah, with this euphonious voice of yours, seriously, it was so cool, I said. "Really? Thank you. Actually, any time I get hold of the microphone or any musical instrument, my body changes to a gentle one but after that, I become myself again", she said. "That sounds like fantasy, I didn't like music before but with your voice, you've stolen my heart, I'm a big fan", I said and we both laughed together. "Thank you", she said. "And also, please, I want to always hear your voice every morning, okay?", I said. "No problem, as a matter of fact, my mum always wake up because of my voice every morning, and now that I'm not at home, I gave her a recorder of my voice which will play for her every morning", she said. "Nice", I said. "So it's not a problem for me to wake you up 'cause it's my daily routine already", she said. "Thanks. I noticed something", I said. "What's that?",she asked. "Your best colour is purple", I said. "Yes! It's unique, it's fashionable, it makes me special", she said excitedly. "Okay, that's nice, let's go to the main room", I said. "Okay", she replied.
As we came out, I noticed an envelop beneath the door of our room. I moved closer, as I was moving closer, I thought to myself, "I've changed a little, I was not an early morning talkative, maybe because of my roommate". I took the envelop and opened it, it says, 'At exactly 7 am, you all should be out for morning exercise and at 9 am, to the dining hall'. "Let's have our bath and get ready before 7", I said.I was the first person to take my bath and I put on my sweat suit for the exercise and packed my hair to a bun. Cynthia came out of the bathroom, put on her purple sweat suit and wore her hair in two plaits. "We are good to go", she said. "It's not yet time, this is 6:22", I said. "We got up early", Cynthia said. "Yes", I replied. I went to my special room and took a random book from the bookshelf and came back to the main room. "What's that?", Cynthia asked. "A book, of course", I said looking lost in what she meant 'cause I held the book obviously for her to see. "I know it's a book", she said. "Then, why did you asked?", I said. "Cause if you start reading it, this place will get boring", she said looking bored already. "So, what should we do?", I asked. "Let's chat about ourselves, our school and friends, this is just 6:30, thirty more minutes", she said checking the time on her phone. "Ok, you can start", I said. She talked about her crushes, ex-boyfriends, friends, life being single and being a singer. Arrgh...she talked so much till the thirty minutes were over.
"Don't mind me, I'm a talkative", she said. "Oh.. no worries, I can deal with that", I told her. Actually that was a lie 'cause I can't deal with people but I think this time around, I'm gonna deal with them.
We went out and the last morning dew dropped on me (I guessed). The view of the whole building was sensational. We got to the sports field and started the exercise. Some campers were chatting as if they are used to one another's company, maybe. After some minutes, the guy I met at the corner came to us. "Hello, good morning", he said. I replied casually'cause I didn't even look up to see who greeted us, actually busy with the exercise, it's been long since I've done one. When Cynthia shouted 'good morning', then I looked up to see who it was. "Oh... it's you, I... I'm sorry I didn't answer to your greetings well", I said. It's nothing, I know you didn't look up", he said. "Yeah... remind me of your name", I said. "I'm John James and you are Ivy Andrews", he said. "Wow, you have a good memory", I said and he smiled. "Have you guys forgotten someone else is here?", Cynthia said. "Oh...we are sorry. Hi, I'm John James and you?", John said. "I'm Cynthia Daniels, it's nice meeting you". "And you too", John replied, she smiled. "I'll see you guys later", John said. "Bye". "Ivy tell me, you like him?", Cynthia said smiling sheepishly. "C'mon, we met yesterday", I said. "It doesn't matter, ok?", Cynthia said. "It matters and I'm not a fan of guys", I said. "So, it means your heart is a stone right?", Cynthia said. "Not right but.... just leave me alone", I said. "Okayy, it's fine but I will remind you of this day", Cynthia said. "Whatever", I said. Gosh, I hate it when I'm being teased because of a boy.
After exercise, we went back to our room to get dressed for the day. We both had a quick bath and dressed up. I rolled down my hair, combed through it and wore a blouse and a jean trouser, then put on my sneakers. Well I brought five, I love sneakers ❣️. Cynthia unplait her hair and stretched it. She got dressed into a pink off shoulder blouse and a short purple pleated skirt with a pair of long purple stocking and a shoe. We got out of the room and we both looked different from each other, she looked attractive and I was just...normal. Well, I don't care, afterall I'm here for business not a fashion show.
We got to the dinning Hall at two minutes past nine. Some ladies served us breakfast, it was a bacon, ten slices of bread, fried egg and a hot tea, so refreshing but I couldn't finish the bread, I ate only five slices and Cynthia ate her ten and my five. "I thought celebs don't eat much food", I said. "I don't care", she said and we both laughed. "But, I'm still trying not to eat too much 'cause I'm keeping a flat tummy, you know", she later added and I nodded. After everyone finished eating, we heard a voice...Guyyys, this is getting interesting, I think Ivy likes Cynthia already, they are a team and... what do you think about John James, blue eyeballs remember???
