"Is something wrong Amelia, see I'm not going to apologise I was just being honest plus Ash was thinking the same too weren't you Ash....!?" Candice's loud voice pulls me out of my past I can feel my heart aching again, my eyes tearing up again but I somehow supress it down I always have and I intend to continue doing it. I don't want anyone to sympathize me again. I never want to fall in love again, never again I want to feel that heart ache again which is worse than dying a thousand deaths. I continue to supress and laugh that of, "It's nothing Ashleigh, Candice it's just ny favourite song I was just thinking about the costumes." They stare at me then look at eachother I can tell they know I'm crying but they decide not to drag the story. Candice lightens the mood, "Girl your thinking face is scarey whatever so what are we wearing something korean will match right" I not, Rhys used to nod alot it's a habit I adopted from him not intentionally though.
"Amy?" Ashleigh calls. "Yep what sorry I was not listening" I reply with my tongue sticking out. "Well ok its something like love is like stupid. It makes you loose your senses and bla bla bla..." And Candice face falls Shit she's dating Stephen. I try to balance it out, " I mean... I know.. I mean it's my personal thought. Self love and stuff. Its because I haven't really dated..." Candice interferes in the middle of my sentence," That's something new means yeah you look pretty a cute face a good figure ofcourse you are a dancer. But your dressing style hides it all. It develops a resistance against you."
"Yeah she's curvy I notice that when she walked in with her crop top on without tracks or jackets or hoodies" Ashleigh adds. "Exactly" Candice confirms. "It's not_" I start again only to get interrupted again. "Oh Shut up_ you are attractive so from now on I decide your outfit. End of the topic. Now let's talk about the event." Candice orders and Ashleigh agrees and I nod."Girl you nod alot" Ashleigh squeaks and Candice rolls her eyes"can't deny" and we all laugh like ofcourse I can't control it. It's involuntary like Rhys was. "So it's settled then Army will choreograph, I'll decide the outfit and makeup. Ash will assist us so will June. Practice begins tomorrow. End of the discussion.Get your beauty sleep. Night Girls" Candice declares and jumps into the bed.
I climb on to the bed underneath my bed lies Ashleigh's the other upper one is for June and under it is Candice I don't remember when I descend into my dreams.

Knock! knock! Knock! Someone is banging on the door this early in the morning. "Whose alarm has such an annoying sound. Ahhhhhhh sush it someone"groans Candice putting her head under the pillow. "Someone is knocking Candice, someone please open the door"Ashleigh cries.
I know I'm the one who has to open the door. I don't want to get up. The person on the other side starts banging the door even louder. "Coming. Don't break the door I'm coming" I roll out of the bed. I open the door to find a fair American girl standing. "Good morning girls"she greets. Its June, I know because I heard her yesterday. She pulls me into a hug just as Ashleigh did earlier. "Looking forward to know you Newbie"she smiles and I nod still sleepy. "So Amy or Ash let me take a look...hmmm.. nope can't be a music student so, definitely Amy right"she speaks and her smile never fades away and I nod, "Amy.. I mean Amelia Brook and you must be June..June Cassidy." She smiles agreeing. She holds my shoulders and takes a look at me, "You are pretty beautiful. I like your chocolate brown shade of hair. You give me a vibe of bibliophile you are one aren't you" she surprises me but Candice interrupts in her sleepy voice "sounds like June's here and she hasn't given me a hug " she whines sitting on the bed still eyes closed. June practically pounces on her. " Wake up Candie how long were you guys up discussing about it." She inquires. "Will update you, June But before that let me sleep for a while"Candice announces and June mutters under the breath. "Sure" then pulls her out of her bed to the bathroom where Candice sits on the floor, still eyes closed and June chuckles and turns the shower on,
"Junnneeeeeeeeee Ahhh are you crazzzyyyy!!" Candice screams waking Ashleigh up. Ash rushes towards the bed to look what's happening. Me and June laugh until our stomach hurt. "Fuck you " Candice cusses. "Nice to meet you too" June replies and laughs harder Ashleigh and I join and Candice groans.
Minutes later June wraps a towel around Candice and they both walk out of the bathroom. I can tell if you could kill someone with your eyes June would have been long dead.
"So are you wide awake now" June teases and Candice glares at her "Thanks to you bitch." and rolls her eyes. "Aww don't be mad see you are all clean and fresh, Ash Amy you too clean up I'm treating you with lunch" she smiles and we look at the clock it's 12 already.
" Crist I've a date today" Candice panics "and first day of rehearsals too" I remind. Me and Ash take a quick shower, luckily our dorm offers us two bathrooms which saves a lot of time. I pull out a long skirt and a loose top and show them to Candice she shakes her head in a no and pulls out a buttoned skirt "pair it with the skirt" she says then I pull my hair into a pony but she unties it and ties half of my hair with a bow. "And done" Candice announces proud of her work. "Nice work Candie" June gives an appreciating nod. June wears a bralet and pair it with a crochet top and jeans, Ashleigh changes into her sweatshirt and jeans and June still wears the floral frock in which she came to the dorms.
We rush to an Lorentz . Still unsure with what to order, I let them order for me, Candice's coffee arrives first. "Still not awake Candice" June teases and Candice glares at her, "The first thing that touch my lips is Coffee and you know this from last three years" she sounds annoyed. "Just teasing" June giggles.
As I was looking out of the door, I see a guy wearing a plain grey hoodie with a jacket over it. I somehow against my will seems to be attracted by him. Even if he is just walking still I find it so much intimidating he walks into the building where we are sitting and walks towards us. Every step he takes closer his face becomes more and more clear.He has the same grey eyes as Rhys. I blink my eyes a few times thinking it to be a dream until Nic's voice falls in my ears "Hey there girls and ahh lovely, Ashleigh you are joining us too." Nic smiles. I didn't notice Nic and Stephen walking in with the intimidating stranger and my heart starts aching again. Rhys voice echos in my head, "you have to move on Amy, You have to move on for me for yourself." I still can feel his forehead pressed against mine like it was that day, the day I lost everything. Anger and sorrow start running in my veins again. He sure had to leave me tell me in the worst possible way. I ball my fist and look at my shoes trying to pull myself out of the memory again.
