The pretty ugly girl

Singing class to café

Upon entering the music room Meira saw some students sitting there while some roaming around until she saw a black man with violin in his hand talking to another teacher of their school. "I suppose that is our new music teacher" Luke whispered "Yes ,I think" Meira replied "Hey ,I know him he used to be my music teacher back in America" Daniel exclaimed "Seriously, how many places have you lived since your childhood!" Luke interrogated Daniel "You see my mom has a transferable job so I cannot stay in one place for more than 3 years" he sighed "I see" Luke replied . "Let me go meet Mr. Francis" Saying that Daniel rushed towards the black man with violin named Mr. Francis . After some moments Daniel came to Meira and Luke with Mr. Francis . "Hello students ,I guess you are Daniel's friends ?" Mr. Francis said with his eyebrows raised "Yes , Mr. Francis" Meira and Luke said "So , you guys already know me , well Daniel is an excellent singer and he has briefed me that you guys are too" He said as the other chuckled while nodding "Ok, so take your seats everyone we will be starting in two minutes" He screamed and smiled at the trio while going towards the teachers table which was next to a piano.

Meira, Daniel and Luke sat next to each other while chatting about random stuff "May I have your attention?" Mr. Francis said while clapping his hands while everybody sat straight and paid attention to him. "So let me introduce myself, I am Mr. Francis and I will be your Music teacher starting today ,we will start from hearing everyone's voice first , so that I know where to improve your voices so I will be calling you roll number wise and you can sing any one of your favorite songs and feel free to use any instrument and ask doubts ,you will not be judged by your appearance here but by your talent and I assume your teacher must have told you about the choir that we will be forming for annual presentation plus solo songs too ,ok you all can think of your songs now I will start calling your names in two minutes" Mr., Francis said with a smile on his face while the students cheered "Hey what are you going to sing?" Luke asked Meira and Daniel "I will sing a song that Mr. Francis taught me two years ago" Daniel exclaimed "I am not sure" Meira said in a low tone "Come on Meira ,you are the best singer I have ever heard sing any song it will suit you" Luke exclaimed trying to cheer Meira up while Meira sighed . "Ok , students ready?" Mr. Francis shouted "Yes sir!" Everyone cheered then Mr. Francis started calling everyone roll number wise and it was Meira's chance "Roll number 23 Meira Red!" Mr. Francis said as Meira slowly got up and stood near the mic with her Guitar and cleared her throat ,she was getting nervous by the glares of the students but she saw Luke and Daniel showing her thumbs up with soft smiles ,she smiled took a deep breath and made herself comfortable on the chair and placed her guitar on her lap and started singing in her beautiful, heavenly ,soft and sassy voice. After she ended everyone present in the room stood up and clapped for her "Alas! My ears are blessed girl you got such a pretty voice all the high notes were just perfect and the rap part was outstanding , keep it up" Mr. Francis exclaimed while clapping "Thankyou everyone" Meira bowed and went back to her place and hugged both of her best friends "Meira! I didn't knew you had such amazing vocals" Daniel said astonished "Well, whose bestie is she though" Luke boasted while Meira rolled her eyes playfully "Don't roll your eyes you are not going to find a brain up there anyways" Luke teased Meira while Daniel chuckled after that the bell rang and everyone dispersed .

"Come on guys we need to catch up with Lean" saying that all three of them rushed towards the exit gate "Hey, buddy" Luke said panting heavily "what happened ,why are you running ,is everything all right!?" Lean said worriedly "No, everything is fine brother" Meira said "Then why were you guys running like maniacs!?" Lean screamed "We raced from the music room till here ,it was a bet and I guess I am last" Meira said in low tone "Its fine we will still treat you" Daniel exclaimed to make Meira happy "Thanks, come on don't waste time or we will get late for work!" Meira alarmed Luke "we!?" Daniel interrogated "Yes ,me and Luke do a part time job in his uncles café" Meira said as they started walking towards their work place "I see" Daniel replied with a poker face "Lean did you know that everyone praised Meira today and even our new singing teacher Mr. Francis said that me, Daniel and Meira are a permanent part of the choir!" Lean cried "What! Wonderful guys, congratulation I am really proud of you guys!" Lean praised his friends " how much time does your shift take?" Daniel asked Meira and Luke "about one and a half hour to two hours, why?" Luke said "I was thinking that me and lean will wait for you guys in the café itself we will also complete ours and yours homework to utilize some time and head to the karaoke afterwards" Daniel exclaimed "sounds good to me" Luke said "Same what about you Lean?" Meira spoke "sure guys but I will not be able to stay at the café for more than one hour I have my taekwondo class afterwards I will meet you at the karaoke though" Lean blabbered while the other three nodded their heads with that all of them arrived at the café "why are you late?" the manager who was chewing a gum and had headphones on her blond hair stared at Meira "we already told uncle about our extra classes ,you can ask him if you want and stop staring at her Ms. And please remove those headphones and stop chewing that gum it is not good for the reputation of the café " Luke said while glaring at the manager "sorry sir ,I will confirm you can go and start your shift I will enter your joining time and yeah I am sorry again for chewing gum I will not do that again" the manager said while smiling and bowing at Luke and glaring at Meira as they went inside the staff room to change into their uniforms and the other two went inside and made themselves comfortable on the table near the window as they took out their homework note books and started writing after some minutes Meira came to them and asked "Hello sir what is you order for today?" she said professionally while the boys take a look at the menu "hello beautiful waitress, I will take an ice coffee and cookies with cream" Daniel said while teasing Meira "and for me my regular" Meira nodded and went to make their orders while both of them chatted for a bit "this is the only place where I can make this brat obey me" Lean said as Daniel chuckled after sometime their order arrived and they started to eat and drink their food "anything else sir?" Meira said "no ,by the way when will you get your fifteen minutes break" Lean said while Meira sighed " probably after ten minutes I will help you guys in homework then you must be exhausted" Daniel was about to reply but stopped when he heard a glass breaking voice from the kitchen "what was that!?" Daniel gave a worried look "it is nothing probably Luke breaking another plate he does that everyday" Meira chuckled "Meira come and help me, please" Luke screamed from inside while Meira replied "coming!" and left from there leaving the other two dumbfounded

"I have heard that Luke comes from a really wealthy family and his parents are CEO and I also saw his house it was huge then why does he work in a café?" Daniel questioned Lean "you see Luke and Meira met when they were eleven our family was also rich then because we had dad with us at that time Luke always cared about Meira and saved her from bullies ,he has always helped her and our family in all the ways possible and you see they have a really strong bond after you left Meira she always used to get bullied and cried I couldn't help it at that time cause I was in a different school till seventh standard I changed my school when one day she came home with a broken arm and told me that she got bullied we lied to mom though that she fell from her bi-cycle that is when me, Luke and Meira became best friends but still no one in school knows about me and Meira being twins ,she works in this café from years but the customers criticized her for being fat and you know ugly according to them. That is when Luke joined the café still some people do tease her but Luke handles it you know ,he is the best thing that has ever happened to Meira's life ,he brought back our cute and bubbly Meira" Lean explained everything to Daniel and sighed "wow ,I never knew I hurted her that much after I left but I promise I will never hurt her again but what about your dad I didn't see him at your house either " Daniel interrogated lean but as he was about to answer Luke and Meira came "Hey guys we got our break, need some help?" Meira interrupted while taking a sip from leans drink "hey that was my drink!" lean cried "so what you are my twin ,we have shared our mothers womb too also its just a drink" Meira said rolling her eyes "what were you guys talking about?" Meira interrogated "Nothing!" Lean quickly said making Daniel suspicious about the action but just went with the flow and nodded his head "by the way mom called and told me ,you and Daniel to come home afterwards along with Luke of course at Luke's parents house" Lean said as Luke sighed he didn't had a good relationship with his parents "That means no karaoke!" Meira said in a sad voice " don't worry maybe next time and we also need to go to your house so how about a sleepover!?" Luke exclaimed trying to make Meira feel happy "that's not a bad idea I will join you guys too !" Lean interrupted "Maybe you should join us too buggy!" Meira said with a pout "yes of course I would love to!" Daniel exclaimed while Meira smiled widely "I guess I will meet you guys direct at home I need to go to taekwondo class now and yes after finishing your shift don't forget to buy snacks and drinks for the sleepover! Adios" lean said exciting the café while the others waved at him.

After finishing the shift all three of them went to the convenient store nearby. "Guys stop ,see" Meira saw a homeless puppy starving to death following an old lady who was carrying bread he looked really weak "wait for me here" Meira said and made her way toward the puppy and picked it up "She is so caring" Luke said lost in the beauty of her kindness "agreed" Daniel said doing the same "Guys! Look at this" Meira said feeding the puppy a biscuit "Guys?" Meira said snapping her fingers in front of their faces as they were lost in their own worlds "yeah ,yeah" Luke said snapping back into the reality "I said see what I found ,I wish I could keep it but mom wouldn't allow so I guess no" Meira said pouting sadly "Hey don't be sad we can keep it at my house if you want anyways no one lives there except me" Luke said cuddling with the puppy "thank you so much Luke, I don't know what I would without you" Meira said as they both chuckled "guys see ice creams for us!" Daniel exclaimed pointing towards an ice-cream truck "Lets go!" Luke exclaimed as he held Meira's hand and went towards the ice cream truck .
