CROWNS ACADEMY

⁠෴⁠ VOLUME [7]෴⁠

Rai's POV

I made my way into the music hall and found Liam playing one of the grand pianos. He looked so in tune with the music as he closed his eyes, his fingers tracing the piano keys passionately.

"You're late." He suddenly stopped playing and stated plainly without looking at me.

"It's not in my list of worries." I fired back moving towards him.

"You're different." He said finally looking up at me, his ash grey eyes conspicuous in the night lights.

I just got confused, shrugged it off and sat on one of the chairs.

"Anyway, just in case you don't know, I cannot play any instrument so you can start regretting your choice." I said flicking my hair with a victorious smirk on my face.

"After seeing your piano skills, anyone can know that you are horrible." He fired back coldly but this time I could spot a tiny smirk on his face.

"Anyway, vocal cords are also musical instruments, and you look like a singer to me." He said getting up from his seat.

"So grab a mic and start singing one of your songs, I'll make an instrumental and harmony." He said indicating a clincher to our conversation.

For the first time I didn't protest.

"Stop, youre  out of sync with the piano." I had barely started the bridge when I rudely interrupted. At this point I was getting frustrated, so I just ignored him and continued singing.

"Wake up or we'll be late," I heard Lex's voice. Immediately, I got up, being late was so not my thing.

I took a quick shower and started dressing.

"Hey Lex, why aren't you in your uniform?" I wondered aloud spreading the face serum all over my face.

"Uniforms are only compulsory on the first day otherwise, you can just wear anything." Shouted Lex from the living room sipping her coffee.

Great. I thought.

I put on white flared pants and a white pull neck top. Since it was chilly, I put on a black sweater that left the pull neck of my top visible.

I decided to wear my black toe length heeled boots and carried a white monkey bag.

I parted my hair in the middle and tied it into a bun. I grabbed a huge chocolate muffin and we walked out.

"So what sport are you going to pick." Lex asked as we started our free period.

"Uum, I don't know," I replied with a bored face.

"Well it's compulsory, self defence action classes and sports are the most important to the principal so you have to choose by the end of the day or you'll be in trouble."

"What is self defence action class?" I asked curiously raising a brow.

"They are classes where you choose an activity that can help defend yourself anytime you need." Said Lex as she fixed her ponytail.

"Alma offers numerous activities, from shooting to karate to archery etcetera."

This was an easy one, I adored archery since I was little.

"I'll go with archery," I said with determination and a huge smile on my face.

"Wow that was fast, now we just have to find you a sport!" Exclaimed a cheerful Lex giving me a high five.
