" I found a guy, told me I was a star
He held the door, held my hand in the dark
And there's one more boy, he's from my past
We fell in love, but it didn't last "

ALEJANDRA COVERED HER mouth as a yawn burst. She didn't sleep well at all the night before— she was annoyed. Diego had found out her plan to make him jealous, but she tried to forget that he knew it, and focused on the song that Federico had sent her. He had also sent her the backing track and she studied it all night, only to realize when her first yawn came through was at four in the morning, and she had her first class at nine.
So she skipped that class to sleep in— and she was still tired.
"Ale? Are you listening?" Maxi tried to catch her attention. Alejandra jumped when she saw Maxi's hand waving in front of her face.
"I'm sorry, Maxi. I wasn't listening. I was up all night rehearsing for the duet with Federico, I didn't sleep well afterwards," Alejandra spoke. "I'm sorry."
"We can do this later, if you have time," Maxi responded. "You're so tired, you might just give Ludmila the entire song."
"Over my dead body," Alejandra stated. "I just need something to eat or drink and I'll be good. I'll be back, if anyone comes in, don't play anything for them. It's supposed to be a group decision."
Alejandra stepped out of the classroom and glared at Ludmila as she was talking to Federico. Did Alejandra like Federico? Of course, it was easy to like him and he was very easy on the eyes. Ludmila must know what she was missing.
"Pablo said you sent the lyrics to the person you chose for the duet, but I didn't receive anything, Fede," Ludmila said.
"That's because I didn't—"
"Fede, there you are!" Alejandra interrupted. "I got the lyrics last night and the song is amazing, did you write it all yourself?"
"What song?" Ludmila questioned.
"The duet," Alejandra answered. "Oh, I wasn't supposed to say anything, was I?"
"I was just on my way to tell Pablo that you accepted the offer," Federico told Alejandra. "Then we can meet after your last class and head to the studio."
"Yeah, sounds like a plan," Alejandra smiled. She glanced at Ludmila, who was glaring at the brunette. "Oh, Ludmi. Maxi and I were waiting for you to listen to the instrumentals he has been working on. We only have the room for a few more minutes, so time is of the essence. I will see you later, Fede." Alejandra entwined her arms with Ludmila, and lead her to the to the room Maxi was in. Diego had joined. Alejandra's smile dropped, then her phone beeped.
