Taylor's P.O.V
"Goodbye Ms Swift..." the group of girls chortle as they rush from the room off to their next class. "Goodbye girls, see you tomorrow." They all nod and rush out as I continue to pick up the music books that had been left out by the piano and in the guitar corner. As the next group of sixteen year olds come into the room and sit down at their desks I turn around and look at them. "Looking hot today Ms Swift..." Daniel Tobin calls from the corner of the room and as I glance at him he looks downwards as the rest of his friends laugh at him and congratulate him on speaking up. I'm all too aware of the looks that I get at this school. Teaching in Melbourne has always been a dream of mine, especially for me as I grew up about four hours out of the city on a farm with my parents and younger brother Austin. My family supported me to follow my dreams and for me that was music so I did it. Going to university in Melbourne and now after getting my job at Note Academy, I think that most of the students were looking for ways to connect and create a job out of music. With many wanting to cut albums and become songwriters I don't have much to do with them but the ones who have music in their veins, the ones who play piano, guitar, violin and even the triangle those are the kids that I have created a bond with. "Okay guys so today we are going to be writing our own music, I would like everyone to take out a pencil and some paper and attempt to write something, use the format we went over yesterday. You've got about forty minutes." I say as they nod and take out their stuff.
As the day finishes in Melbourne and I begin my walk towards my apartment in the centre of the city about a twenty minute walk away from the academy. I'm only ten minutes into the walk when I feel the sweat begin to drip down my back and I silently curse the fact that it's the middle of December but with only two weeks to go until Christmas I'm going to be thankful for the break so I can go home to the family farm. My mum's been really excited to get me home and I know Dad is keen for me to get home soon as well. Pulling out my phone I check my balance and see that I've still got heaps of money left so I decide to go and do a bit of Christmas shopping, I've already got money set aside for fuel to drive home the day after Note Academy shuts for Summer vacation. I pick my mum up a piece of jewellery that I'd been eyeing up for her and for my brother a new pair of cowboy boots made by RM Williams and I've organized some new socks and a new hat for dad, he always tells me he never wants anything so I always go out and buy him what mum says he needs. I'm excited for Christmas, I love it and I'm excited to go home in a few week's time, I can't wait.
The moment that I step forward into my apartment and shut the door Meredith and Olivia my Scottish fold cats come running towards me, happy to see me after a whole day away. I bend down and pay Meredith attention first making Olivia come and paw at my leg until I pay her attention too. After paying attention to them both I change into some shorts and a tank top. Switching on my laptop I check my emails and see mum has sent one.
Hi Taylor,
The temperature is supposed to get to 32 degrees today and Austin is out checking the sheep and water troughs to make sure that they have enough water. The creek is steadily drying up and with no sign of rain in the future few weeks I'm hoping that we don't have to switch to the water well, who knows how much more water that old thing has in it. I hope the traffic and weather in Melbourne is okay right now. We can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks, make sure you bring your guitar home we're planning a party and you know that everyone around will want to hear you play. We love you Tay, dad tells me to send his best and his love. See you in a few weeks. Talk at the weekend.
Love mum, dad and Austin xx
I smile reading the email and set about to quickly respond. It doesn't take long and after it goes I check Facebook, I notice a friend request sitting in the top left hand corner and I'm curious. I click on the profile and see the name Karlie Kloss flick up. Reading over the profile I see she's from Toronto in Canada and is recently graduate from college in coding. I'm confused and am about to delete and block her but a quick check of my Facebook messages shows one from Karlie. "Hi Taylor, I'm Karlie. We've been talking on tumblr recently under my name KlossisBoss92 we were chatting about the new Beyonce album and I just decided to follow your tumblr page and find you on Facebook. I hope you don't mind it's just hard to constantly message on tumblr it would be easier on here. Hope this message finds you well and safe down under. – Karlie a.k.a KlossisBoss92. Without wasting any time I quickly accept her friend request and message her back telling her about my day and the weather situation and without meaning to we end up talking late into the night. This continues over the course of the next few weeks as we begin to talk about even skyping possibly.
Karlie's P.O.V
I hear a ping from my phone as another message comes in on Facebook. Stopping to check it I see it's Taylor, "Hey Karlie, want to skype later?" I message back instantly saying yes and I can't believe that in all the time we've been skyping and messaging each other we've never met in person. "It may be later I'm busy with a late meeting but I'll text you when I'm free." She instantly says that's fine and I smile. The twins meet me at the edge of the campus as I was only in to fill out some last minute papers before I start my new job at a tech computer company in a week. The twins were at the university for a freshman orientation course, "is that her?" Kimby questions as we walk towards the car. "Mind your own business Kimby." I state throwing my bag into the trunk of the car. "Fine, fine..." Kimby states but the moment we get home she knows that mom won't protect me. "Mom guess who Karlie's gonna talk to later...her girlfriend...." My mom turns and looks at me as Kimby keeps talking, "...you know the one from Australia. Taylor..." My mom grins at me.
"Really Karlie, you're talking later,"
"Skyping mom...there's a difference." I state exasperated by my family constantly getting in on my business. "Oh Karlie there's nothing to be ashamed of," I nod and make notion of a shower after a quick run.
A few hours later I'm sitting at my desk with skype all ready to go and as Taylor messages to say she's ready I quickly hit her contact TaylorSwift13 and quickly hit video. It takes less than fifteen seconds for Taylor to accept the call and I quickly see her face on the opposite side of the screen. "Wow, hey Tay!" I state excited to be talking to her. It's been a week since we last skyped and I know that she loves it as much as me. "Hey Karlie! How was today, your last day right?" She questions making me blush and feel warm inside as I realise that she knows what I've been doing today. "Yeah it was great, how was your day at work? Writing more songs today? Or playing some more instruments." I watch as Taylor blushes and looks away and mutters something but this is normal so she's probably talking to Meredith or Olivia or even herself, that's completely normal too. We talk really quickly and soon we're approaching our two hour mark which is the time we set aside to do this, it seems like a long time to most people but to us we only get to do this once a week and no matter what we talk about the two hours never seems like enough time. We never talk about the same subject twice so we've talked about our childhoods a few times and about what we wanted to be growing up. I've seen pictures of Taylor's family and she's seen pictures of mine. It's been interesting and the first few times we started talking I would always google Australia and see what I could find out about it, I know how long it would take me to fly there which is nearly thirty three hours, I'd have to leave from Toronto and fly to Los Angeles and then fly on to Auckland and then to Melbourne. "So Karlie, I'm wanting to do a trip in a few months time....any recommendations." Taylor questions as I tune back into the conversation. I look at her and smile, "well I have one recommendation but I doubt that you'd be keen so I don't know love...." I say as her mouth drops open and I realise what I just said. "Oh Taylor...god I uhm....I'm really sorry about that..." I state as a large grin breaks out across her face. "It's okay love..." she mocks as we break out into fits of laughter. A few minutes later we end our conversation with the promise of speaking in a weeks time. Before we sign off quickly say to her, "I really like you Taylor, talk soon love."
