Xuan's POV
Dear Diary,
Today when i was getting out of my stall from behind,which is nearest to the band room,i heard this bloodcurdling scream that almost made me drop my pot. "The heck?!"i thought to myself as i hurried to the band room. Diya was staring at this girl who was holding a tuba. "Woah bruh! What goes on?! You nearly made me drop my stuff!"i said. The students were kinda used to me swaggering in at random points so they just continued playing. "You will NOT believe what just happened,"gasped Diya. And i thought i wad the dramatic one. "This girl,"she said,pointing to the innocent soul,"her tuba's got a hole somewhere!"

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"i screamed. "That was my reaction!!"said Diya. "How on earth did that happen?!?!"i said in disbelief,staring at the poor girl and the poor tuba. She shrugged. "I felt air coming of this part,"she said,pointing to the part you usually hold and press the valves. I understood and took a deep breath. "Dang Diya,nothing's wrong with the tuba,at least it won't affect her playing,"i said calmly and confidently. Diya looked at me,a mixture of slight fear and worry on her face. "How do you know that?"she asked worriedly. "Cos' Dahao had the same problem before."I said simply.

Dahao was the name of my tuba(i called him that cos "Dahao"means tuba in Chinese) when i was still a student,and i did remember vividly once where i could feel air coming out of the same area. I almost got a heart attack when i saw a very tiny hole there,and air was escaping through it when i blew,like a deflating balloon. I was told by Ms Siew to cover it up when i played,so i had to use a tissue to cover this hole when i played. Now it seemed that the same thing had happened to this girl's tuba.

"Just use something to cover it up. Shouldn't be too much trouble."i told her,and she nodded obediently. Diya looked at me quizzically. "You sure it's gonna work? I dunno if the child's gonna need another tuba because of this." I shook my head,and she sighed and nodded. I gave the girl's tuba a pat,and told it to say hi to Dahao for me,and went back to my stall.
