The Hidden Soul Language (Discontinued)

Chapter 10: Bring it on, Blondie (part 1)

What have I done? The All-star Spark didn't deserved the consequences that was going to happened next. It was my doing and my choice. Stupid, stupid Haely! I conversed mentally.

It was five days after the deal I made with Irisa for a showdown at the football field at 5.30pm. The All-star Spark had been training more than before since we also have the senior prom's performance to deal with. According to Irisa's minion, she mentioned that the showdown was going to have three different challenges: 1 for groups category, 4 couples and 10 solos. The judge would be a senior who witnessed the cheerleaders' piece all-year round and ours five days ago. How the judging was going to be will be informed on that day of the showdown.

With this showdown and the prom performance, my panic attacks were more frequent and I was always on the verge to either serious asthma or close to passing out. Two days ago during our late night practice, I literally passed out while we were in the midst of running through the group choreography. That moment had scared the lives out of the All-star Spark.

Ever since that incident happened, on and off during school hours the dance members, would check-up on me, especially Bellette, Yuri and Cindy. The 'Three Muskerteers' (that would include Trent, Bryce and Fenton) and the three girls were more than considerate to even take over my position when it came to dance period. The six of them were more smooth in the choreography than the rest since they had to switch positions with me most of the time now.

Other than that, I was thinking that I am more cruel than Irisa since I had took off family time from the club members. They may have told me that they did tell their parents and that their parents understood, but I just didn't have the peace of mind. So, with the intention in mind, I decided to inform them that they were off the hook for that Monday night right after our session was done.

"Really? I mean, we could stay and be drilled since our parents are fine with it like we always tell you," Ryder asked with excitement and reluctance mixed together.

"I mean it, Sparkers," I assured them, "I've taken away most of your time to do your own things, so might as well give you peeps the night to settle some things. Have your parents talk to me if they find anything weird happened to you guys." They managed to laugh at my attempt of teasing them.

"Aw, thank you, Haely!" They all said in unison. Since when did I become the mother-like figure in this? I thought and shook my head at them like they were kids as they thanked me.

"Haely, can we come in?" We? I thought myself right after a knock sound on my door and Faryn's muffled voice spoke.

I was catching up on studying and finishing some assignments in the study room that night. "Come right in, Fare'," I called out as I kept my eyes on my book.

I heard two sets of footsteps shuffling into the room and the door closed. "Just wanna have some sibling time with you if you're wondering about our presence," Edwin's voice now was heard.

"Gimme a minute to finish off this question and then we can talk," was all I told them before a peaceful silence settled in again. The air was warm in the night of Spring with a fair amount of wind blowing throughout. Slight piano keys were played. Nocturne in C sharp minor, I thought to myself with a slight smile.

"And done," I closed the book and turned towards my siblings in the swivel chair who were at the baby grand piano. Faryn was facing the piano keys while Edwin had his back facing it. I guess you could say that our house was quite big but definitely not a mansion.

"You've been busy lately. Care to spill the details?" Faryn asked as she also turned towards me.

"Summarized or detailed?" I answered her question with a question.
