Enjoy Things While We Can

Composition is Vital!

Carter felt really happy and excited after Beyond said he passed the audition. Everyone in the studio congratulated him, especially Nahida, who gave him a big embrace.

"Welcome to the team, glad to have someone new on board. I'm tired of taking care of these childish boys. Except Mimi, she's the only one who keeps me from leaving", Nahida said.

"Hey! since when did we give you trouble?", Simon protested.

"Since I've first became your manager", Nahida said as she stopped hugging Carter and crossed her arms over her chest, feeling irritated.

"Oh you're no manager, you're just the band's assistant since you would find ways to promote the band and attract people to watch our live shows", Simon stated.

Nahida looked down in embarrassment and clung onto Kokomi's arm and wailed loudly.

"YOU SEE MIMI! Simon's bullying me! I'm better off quitting if it weren't for you. Carter too, well 'cause he's now in the band", Nahida complained, slightly shaking Kokomi's arm.

Kokomi frowned and tried to calm Nahida down by having her seated on the sofa.

"Now, now, Nahida. There's no reason to be upset because of Simon",Kokomi cooed.

"But he bullied mee, it's starting to get on my nerves",Nahida said, clenching her fist.

"I'm pretty sure he's trying to mess with you by indirectly calling you a show-girl of The Meerkats. But, I promise, we really need you here. You're promoting skills is sublime", Kokomi reassured her by complimenting her more.

"Stop with the words, I know you're in a literature course 'cause it's making me embarrass", Nahida flustered and tried to wave Kokomi away with her hand.

Kokomi gave her a small smile as her eyebrows expressed her feeling of pity towards her best friend. Kokomi shook her head lightly and helped Nahida up from the couch and back into the practice area where the boys were waiting for them.

Carter was getting worried about the two girls but managed to whole his conversation with Albert about didgeridoos and whether had he touched one. If you didn't know, Didgeridoos are wind instruments, produces a countinuos drone sound when the players use a special breathing technique called circular breathing. Carter wasn't really paying attention to the conversation much because he didn't even know what it was.

Carter's worried expression lifts up when he heard two sets of footsteps walking into the room, one had hard taps while the other had soft footsteps, almost un-hearable.

"Are you ok, Nahida?", Beyond asked worriedly because he kept quiet during Simon's little teasing act and gave him a good scolding about it.

"I'm fine", Nahida muttered, wiping off a stray tear trying to fall down her eyes.

"I'm sorry Nahida, I didn't mean to make you upset, I was only teasing. Please don't take it to heart", Simon apologized, steeping in front of Nahida.

"Apology accepted, be glad that Mimi is here or I would've quit today permanently", Nahida huffed as she crossed her arms and looked away.

This whole time, Kokomi, Carter and Albert stood beside each other, listening attentively to the 'adults' talking. He used his hands to figure out which side Kokomi was standing. He found out when he accidentally hit Albert's jaw. Albert rubbed his jaw while grimacing in pain. He would've punched Carter back but remembered that Carter can't see so let it go. Carter then leaned down towards Kokomi's ear after finding it buy feeling it with his hands. Kokomi flinched a little at the sudden touch but relaxed when she knows it was Carter..
