The Song of Our Hearts { Completed }

八

The next day, I was sitting on my bed looking at my homework.

Why do I need to know the quadratic formula if I'm a Music Major? Do they think I'll need to calculate the parabola of my piano in the future?!!

I angrily drew my curve for the fourth time hoping it would match with the sample answer.

While I was checking my answers, my phone began to buzz. Who could that me?

I check my WeChat account and saw that I had received a message.

Tàiyáng: Hey!!!! Songbird!

Míngqín: Hi.

Tàiyáng: Do you want to have a study party? I read about them in books.

Míngqín: I have never had a study party. What kind of book was it?

Tàiyáng: It was a japanese light novel.

Míngqín: .......Manga?

Tàiyáng: ........

Tàiyáng: ...... do you have anyone you wish to invite?

Míngqín: You changed the subject, and besides.....I don't have any friends :(

When I wrote this my heart broke. Even though I knew I didn't have any friends, actually admitting it was hard. What is a friend? I haven't had one in such a long time........

Tàiyáng: I'm your friend. And by the end of the day, you will have three. ;)

I couldn't help but smile when I read his text, but then I started to doubt myself. He's probably just being nice......

Míngqín: Really?

Tàiyáng: I am positive.

Míngqín: Thank you. That means a lot :)

Tàiyáng: I have one boy and one girl coming. Counting you and me, that makes four. Yay, that should be enough people to have a study party!

He seemed so happy that I couldn't deny him.

Tàiyáng: Oh, don't worry about knowing your lesson. I think Jùn is getting tired of teaching me so you can be my study partner.

Míngqín: You're funny, Tàiyáng. Are you an otaku?!

Tàiyáng: I'd rather not say ;)

With that our conversation ended. That guy always knows what to say.

How in the world was I able to be his friend?

Getting up from the table, I packed all of my old school books into my knapsack and put my shoes on. Today I was wearing a black pleated skirt with black leggings underneath and a dark green dress shirt. Putting on my coat, I started walking towards the city.

Oh, I forgot to ask for the address of my destination! I took my phone out and messaged Tàiyáng. After receiving a familiar address, I continued walking.

When I arrived at the inner city, I take a couple of short cuts that cause me to stop in front of a certain building.

Opening the door, a small bell announced my presence. The familiar smell of sweet bread and pastries filled my senses. Getting in line, I patiently waited until I made it up front.

"Ah, Míngqín! Why are you here? You don't have a shift today, do you? " The elderly woman asked me with concern.

"No, I am here for the study group?" I asked hesitantly. Did Tàiyáng give me the wrong address?
