Chapter 2; Vic Firth

I'm standing here in our front gate. My parents are now leaving. My feelings are still the same but now as the car moves away from me, it feels so empty. This is the very first time my parents left me alone all by myself, so alone. I feel like I'm a real adult now. This is what I want, to feel like an adult who can protect myself, who doesn't depend on others and lastly to let my parents be proud of me because I can take care of myself now and be responsible.  Though I feel so empty, I think it's just normal to be lonely at first because this my first time to live without my parents. But surely, even though it's so lonely I will make my first  free-from-the-barn summer unforgettable. Yeah! Rock on. Oh, I remember , my dad told me that I can do whatever I like unless it's not bad. Ow, I'm so lucky that my parents are so kind to me that they always allow me to do whatever I like and they are so lucky  as well  because I'm a kind daughter who knows my limitations. I think they allow me to do whatever I like because they know that I will not make bad things and because I know my limitations. Okay, so much for that I think I should go inside our house.

*Living room

I invited Stacy over so it will not be boring here. So Stacy is my best friend, she's like my sister. She's also my neighbor, just a few steps and then tada! you'll reach their house. So now we are watching movie while eating Cheetos.

"Hey Max what's your plan?"

"Plan for what?"

"For your summer."

"Well, you won't believe this but I enrolled to a drum class."

"Max, seriously?!"

"Yes. Hahaha"

"But why?"

"Actually I want to learn how to play piano but there's no more slot and the only instrument they have is drum and to escape from the barn."

"Oh my Max, I can't believe it you are such a wise girl! You enrolled because you don't want to be in the barn."

"I know right. Hahaha. And I did it because I want to be with you this summer."

"Huh?!"

"Huh what?"

"Is that your really plan?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Sorry Max but I'm going with my family this summer." Oh man, that's too bad. I thought my summer will be cool because I will spend it with Stacy but that's fine because I will have my summer class.

"Ah.. really? That's cool. Have fun! That's okay. And don't worry because I have my drum class and I bet I will enjoy it."

"But don't worry, I'll ask my mom if we can take you with us."

"Oh no! You don't need to. I'm fine." 

"But I will still try."

"No you don't ne--. Wait Stacy I'll just answer this call."

So who's this unknown number? 

*Phone Conversation

"Hello?"

"Hi. This is the Harmony Music Class."

"Oh hi there, what's up?"

"Well, I just want to remind you that tomorrow, we'll start our class. Just be here by 8:00am sharp. And bring your own drum sticks okay?"

"Yes I will. Thank you for reminding me."
