Xuan's POV

Dear Diary,
It's been like,what,5 years since MiLoh and MSB left? Things seem kinda empty now,i mean we're all working adults but i kinda miss gossiping about MiLoh and stuff.

The Band's doing great. We have the not-so-excited ones,and a few hyper ones whom i'm proud of. Every year we see new people coming in,and although little people join the Band,we are still appreciative of the effort they put in. After all,not everyone is that cooperative.

Today's the day before CCA Promo,and after all these years i'm still really excited about it. I've always been excited about CCA Promo,and tell myself i must always play to the fullest. We were decorating the new Band booth today,and even Tetra and Rocky came back,(they already graduated.)and we saw something,or rather someone we never expected to see.

"COME ON BROS,SING WIMME"i yelled. "What are we singing?"said Renee,a Euphonium junior. "SATURDAY NIGHT MAN WE'RE PLAYING IT TMR"i hollered,not caring about the other people staring at me. "COME ON Y'ALL S A TUR DAY NIGHT S A TUR DAY NIGHT"we picked up the cardboard instruments each section had made and pretended to play. The tuba,surprisingly,was smaller than everyone other instrument,which was pretty embarrassing. The trombone was kinda spaghetti-like so we didn't use it in case we accidentally tore the slide or something.(you know what a clumsy person i can be i mean hoe many pots of porridge have i dropped before man)Tetra smiled and joined in,pulling Rocky along to do the crazy dance moves. Diya smacked her forehead,rolled her eyes and turned away from us. Then we saw the thing-or rather the person,walking towards the netball booth.

Diya stopped and gaped. Then she turned and tapped me eagerly,pointing. "Xuan! Look over there,it's MiLoh,it's MiLoh!!" I couldn't believe my eyes. It was really him! He was talking casually to the netball girls,as i heard from Tetra that he was the teacher-in-charge of netball. "Omigosh! Rathi look look! MiLoh's come back!!"i said excitedly.

Unfortunately,before Rathi and Yokie could see,he had walked up the stairs to the staffroom. "Where?"said Rathi,confused. "He was here,"i said a bit disappointed. But i was mostly elated. I never thought he would come back! Tetra looked stunned,her jaw had dropped. "But...he didn't come to the Band booth..."she said,sounding a little sad. "He didn't come see his second family." I felt a pang of sympathy for her. That was true:WE were the ones who had put the Milo packets in his locker,WE had helped him and Clarice,WE even looked after his child in school for him. We were kinda like his second family. Yokie patted her shoulder. "It's ok-uh Jo,you okay up there?"she said. Jo was standing on the table,and had just finished fixing the cardboard flute to the booth. "Can someone get me down? I'm kinda scared."she said,staring at the long distance from the ground. "I dun wanna die" "You won't,bro,"i said,and she gave a squeal and jumped down.

"D'you think he's EVER going to come out? He can't stay in there forever."yawned Yang. We were waiting outside the staffroom for MiLoh. "I dunno man,maybe he like,ran into Old Zag and is battling him right now with a lightsaber,"said Tetra. I gave a her a pat on the shoulder. "Eeh not bad bro! I can see those Star Wars vibes affecting you like it did to me!!"i said. Rathi had been peeking into the staffroom through the small window,and her body twisted in fright. "He's coming! Quick!!!"

We all stood in a line like soldiers,hands to the side,one hand holding our mouthpiece for good luck's sake. The staffroom door creaked open,a trickle of sweat ran down the side of my forehead,we held our breaths...."Tetra? And-gasp-the...the Band Gang!"

"You remember us right?"said Diya cautiously,sounding like she was itching to jump into a long list of questions she had been dying to ask him. "Of course!"he said,smiling. We hadn't seen that smile since....since the last Teachers' Day he had in our school. "Well....are you coming tomorrow? To see your...netball girls?"said Yang in her usual monotone. "Well,i am coming tomorrow,and i was thinking of supporting you all more actually. You guys deserve it more than anyone in the world. Also,y'all need more people to join the Band right?" At those words,our hearts lifted,and we asked no more questions.
