Third Person POV

Celestia braided her hair quietly. She had to go to school that day, it was June, and the last week.

She entered the class, and Dominique hurriedly hugged her. "You feeling better?" "Fine.." Celestia said, faking a smile, working like a charm.

"Its Music Lessons, I know it'll cheer you up," Kiki suddenly said, and Celestia saw someone approaching her.

"Wait a sec," Celestia said, and the three girls went silent as Matthew walked over.

"Celestia," Matthew tried.

"I know," Celestia muttered. "I saw the argument from Video Call,"

Matthew sighed. "So, I guess you know. I still love you," he pleaded.

"Please, Matthew. Me too, but, you keep hurting me. I will need some time." Celestia said sadly and walked over towards her seat.

Everyone hurried to their seat, as Mrs. Delilah entered the classroom.

"I HAVE AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!" She yelled. "For our Open House, we will need three couples to do a duet." Celestia smiled .

"But there are no singles." Celestia tried not to attack the teacher. "Shit," Joanne whispered, next to her. "I know right, fuck it." Celestia whispered back.

"First, I will want Dominique Geralds. Along with Michael Kane." Dominique blushed from her seat.

"Everything has Changed, Taylor Swift. Prepare, we have six days!" Mrs. Delilah snapped.

"Next, Vanessa and Bryan, I Will Always Love You, Whitney Houston!" Vanessa turned scarlet, and Bryan turned maroon.

"Effing way!" Joanne giggled.

"Last, Celestia Harolds," Celestia's breath was caught up on her throat. She knew who she was going to be paired up with.

"And Matthew Jones. The Last Time, Taylor Swift. PRACTICE, NOW!" Celestia tried to hold back a sob.

The six went out. Celestia and Matthew chose by the pond of the school.

"So, you'll obviously be Gary Lightbody, and I'll be Taylor Swift, I'll let you listen to the song. Later. Right now, we need to practice the moves, body language and the softness of the lyrics. Mrs. Delilah will prepare the instrumental." Celestia said quickly, all in one breath.

"Great," Matthew said awkwardly.

She could hear Vanessa and Bryan laughing together. "They're so perfect together, Brenessa." Celestia said, laughing at the shipname she made.

Actually, she and Kiki discussed it.

"Or, even better, Domichael," Matthew said, grinning widely.

"I know right," Celestia said, as she held back giggles.

"I HEARD THAT!" Dominique yelled.

"Malestia or Celthew!"

"THATS HIDEOUS!" Celestia yelled back.

"Maybe this won't be so bad after all," Matthew said.

"Maybe..." She said.

I hate music lessons, she thought.

But, she forced a smile.

"Fake, eh?" She asked. "Charlotte."

"She's always been." Matthew shrugged.

"I will have you know, the song suits us quite much." Celestia said awkwardly.

"I won't be comfortable with it."

"I know you won't, but let's just try, okay? So many people will be there. Friends, family, and even other people we don't know. So, let's try our best." Matthew negotiated.

"I'll try.." Celestia said bravely, although her eyes were fearful and broken.

"Although, the choreography won't be difficult, the singing part while watching each other at the paining lyrics will be hard." Celestia muttered under her breath.

"We will be ready," Matthew said, not hearing what Celestia said.

"Er... Good." Celestia stuttered, and decided to drink. She went into the classroom and found something under her desk.

It was a necklace.

She took it slowly, and her world began spinning.

Flashback.

"Celly!" A younger Matthew yelled. He was quite tall, and had tanned skin, with the same dark hair and eyes.

A young Celestia, who was also quite tall, ran over him. Her brown hair was blown by the wind, making her look very pretty.

"What is it, Matt?" She asked.

They looked around 11 or 12.

"I have a gift for you," he said, and handed her a small, lazuli blue box.

Celestia opened it, and smiled greatfully. It was a small, black necklace with a pendant, which was black as well, but with two letters , lazuli blue, was carved.

'C M'.

Celestia knew what it stood for. 'Celestia Matthew'.

"I love it! Thanks a bunch, Matt!" Celestia smiled. Her cousin, Nadine, smiled.

"Say 'cheese', guys!"

And Celestia could remember the blinding white light, and their blinding pearly smiles.

End of Flashback.

Celestia shook her head and took the necklace.

Wtf? I left it at home!
