Make Them Believe

Chapter 15

Kasey's P.O.V

Advanced music? Why? I think to myself as I walk to study hall. Hayden doesn't need advanced music to make it big. Sure, it will make her look good on college applications and at recording companies but she doesn't need it. If anything, I should be the one to take it if I want to pursue music. Sports are my thing though but I have a slightly hidden passion for music that even Hayden can't tell how big it is. Yes, she knows I sing but she doesn't know how bad I want it. It doesn't matter whether I make it solo or start a duo with Hayden but, it's what I want. It's all I want to become big. Sports were kind of a back up plan until I fell in love with them. If I could only openly express my feelings about my passion for music. I'd be better off, right?

Usually I can express my feelings openly but this one. I cant. I just cant. I don't want to hurt Hayden. I don't want her to think I'm copying her. There's nothing worse than your best friend copying you.

I grab a random seat when I arrive to my study hall in the DR. All I can do is think about Hayden and my feelings about music. It consumes my mind. Slowly, I drift off to sleep (just like Hayden said I would) still thinking about what to do.

Shortly, I'm woken up to the sound of the bell. Shit! What class is next? Quickly I pull out my schedule to reveal that I once again have study hall in the DR. So I take my seat again and fall back into my slumber.

And the winner of The Voice is... Kas

"Kasey."

Who could this possibly be? Can't they see I'm sleeping here?

"Daniels."

"Go away."

"Kasey Daniels."

"What do you want? I'm trying to sleep here." I snap, still not knowing who is saying my name.

"Geez Daniels. It's only the first day. no need to be like that already." A male voice states jokingly.

"Yeah Daniels, it's not wrestling season yet. Don't be so up tight." Another chimes in.

Slowly, I look up to see Kameron Wells and Devyn Hill across the table from me. "Guys! What are you doing here?" I say a little too loud.

"Why do you think we are here, stupid? We have study hall together." Wells answers my dumb question.

"We also came to see how our favorite wrestling manager is doing." Devyn adds.

"That's a tad bit odd but I'm good until wrestling rolls around and then I'll be great! How's my two favorite wrestlers?" I respond. As they think of their answer I pull out my phone to text Hayden even though she is in class.
K: I HAVE STUDY HALL WITH WELLS!!!!!
I send the text quickly and put my phone away in time to hear their answer.

"We are doing fine."

"Awesome! Well if you don't mind I'm going to go back to sleep now." I yawn as I lay my head back down on the table.

"Wait, Kasey?" I hear a voice speak up

"What is it now Wells?" I pick up my head ever so slightly.

"When's your first game? Maybe I'll come after football." He rubs the back of his head nervously

"I-I don't know my schedule off the top of my head." I stutter.

"That's a shame. Text me when you find your schedule." he smirks

Oh god that smirk. So many girls would kill to have Wells smirk at them the way he just did to me. Thankfully I was able to hide what most girls can't around him as I said "Maybe I will. I guess you'll find out."

"Damn it Daniels. Why do you always have to be such a smart ass?" He smiles as the bells rings and heads to his next class.

I pull out my schedule to reveal that chemistry is next. Great. Just what I need as my first real class of the day. Don't get me wrong, I like chemistry but my schedule says I have the worst teacher in the school. My schedule is proven correct as a walk into the room and see Mrs. M standing in front of the classroom. I choose a seat in the back of the room and wait for the late bell to ring. Before the bell rings Hayden texts me back.

H:Oh! Nice! Have seen Caspar yet! Ahh!

K: Hang in there girl. You'll find him sooner or later. I hit send as soon as the late bell rings.

"Alright class! Phones away. Eyes up. We are getting right down to business with the first lesson of the year." She shrieks. Her voice is seriously high and shrieky and her lip is curled constantly at the top making her look ridiculous. Hopefully a good personality will come out so I don't have to suffer through the year.

Seriously though. How are you going to start the first lesson of the year on the first day of school? Why do you have to skip all of the stupid get to know you stuff. No one really likes it but it's way better than the lessons. Usually teachers give us about three days before they start the first lesson. What's wrong with this lady?

Just like she said we get right to business with a lesson on stoichometry. The lesson actually isn't bad. I only say that because stoichometry seems pretty easy. All class we just balanced chemical equations. Mrs. M had us balance the photosynthesis equation. I remember doing that in middle school. Maybe she's trying to test us. This class is still be far the worst to have a my first real class of the day. It's insane how boring this class is already and it's only the first day. It's so unreal and there are none of my friends in here.

As class goes on I begin to think back to the dream I had in study hall. It never did say who the winner of The Voice was. I was in the final though. Maybe that's what I should do. Audition for The Voice. I'd have to hide it from everyone and find where the closest audition sight is but, it could work. I could do it. I could audition for The Voice without Hayden finding out until the show airs. No telling her about my passion would have to occur either. That could either help or severely hurt the situation. I couldn't be more torn at the moment. I will just continue to think about it as the day goes on.

The bell rings and next is Algebra 2. It's the same course as Hayden just not the same class. How could the school not put the two best friends in the same class? It's not like we cause trouble or anything. We only end up singing some stupid song when it's dead silent. Its kinda funny when it happens, at least for us it is. What we do isn't that bad it's just the fact that the teacher got annoyed and it happened once. Legit, it only happened once last year. Damn, or really should have been more than once though. We have had some great times in school and some great times singing. I wouldn't want to ruin it with the news of my huge passion. Should I take the risk and tell her? Should I take the risk and not tell her? I'm still undecided. This is going to take more time than what I thought.

I don't pay much more attention throughout the day as I should. The thought of telling Hayden consumes my thought with a slight touch of Wells sneaking in a little at a time.

My attention comes back into focus during practice. It's the first week of school, it's still preseason. And preseason means running.
