Sweet Creature (H.S)

Chapter 4 (The Call)

Didi's POV

I just came out of my class and was walking towards my room when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and smiled. Well, another good friend of mine.
"Hey Nick! Why didn't you come for the last 2 days? "I asked him.
"I'm sorry but I was not feeling very well." Nick said.
"Oh okay. So do you feel better now? " I asked him.
"Oh yeah! I'm good now. " he replied.
"So, what have you been upto lately?" I asked him.
"Nothing much, just creating new stuff. Oh! I'm sorry!  I forgot to ask you. Can you come to Mel's room at
4pm today? We need to work on this
new song I've been creating. Sandy and of course Mel are gonna be there too." He said.
"Oh yeah Sure!  Sounds fun!  I'll be there. Bye." I said.
"Bye. See you." He waves and walked the other way.

I entered my room and decided to scroll through my Instagram.
I then saw that I was getting a call from an unknown number. Well, it's weird, but the call maybe important. So I picked it up.
"Hello? " I said.
"Hello. Is this Diya speaking? "
"Yes, that would be me. May I know who's speaking? " I asked.
"Well, I am from Syco Records and wanted to tell you about your internship and the demos you sent us."
I widened my eyes as soon as I heard Syco. What if this is a prank or some hoax or something ? I thought.
"Oh yes! " I replied. Why did I say Oh Yes? It must've sounded so weird and unprofessional. I thought to myself.
"We actually sent you an email regarding the matter, but since you didn't respond to it within 24 hours, we had to call you up." He said
Oh no! How could I be so irresponsible? I immediately opened my laptop to check the mail. I signed in and saw that I had  3 unread emails, and those were from Syco.
"I'm so sorry I couldn't respond to them, Sir. I should've checked them, it's my fault, Sir."before I could say anything, he said,
"It's no problem ma'am."
There was still one thing that was at the back of my mind. What if this guy is not from Syco? So I decided to ask him.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to sound rude, but how do I know that you are really from Syco? " I asked.
"It's totally okay to ask ma'am. We called you to know your Skype details, so that we could discuss about your internship and the demos you sent us. And maybe if you give it, then you'll be relieved that this call is actually from Syco. " He said.
I thought for a few seconds and opened the mail. According to the mail, they wanted my Skype username. Well, I guess it's true then.
"Okay, I'll mail you my Skype username on the same email address. Is it okay? "I asked.
"Yes. It's perfectly alright. We'll call you at 4.30pm. Of course, Boston timing. " He said.
"Okay. Thankyou. " I said.
I immediately sent my username to them.
I then saw the time. It was 3.45pm. I then remembered I had told Nick that I'd help with his song! I think I'll have to say no to him. I'll tell them later about this.
I called Nick.
"Hey Didi! " he said.
"Hey Nick! I'm so sorry, I can't make it today. I've got some really important work to do, and it's urgent." I said.
"Oh okay! But is everything alright?" He asked.
"Yes yes! Don't worry. Everything's good. Maybe I'll tell you, Sandy and Mel tomorrow. Is it okay? " I asked.
"Oh yeah!  Perfectly okay! Since tomorrow is a Saturday, we'll go to Nandos for such at 2. Then we can talk. Okay? " he said.
"Sounds good! I'll be there. Bye Nick." I said.
"Bye Didi." He said.
I kept the phone and looked into the mirror. I should look professional and presentable right? I did a little bit of makeup and checked my outfit. Okay, I looked quite good, I thought to myself.
I then checked my Skype and saw that someone was calling me. It's them!  OMG! I'm so nervous! I have to calm down!
I then answered the call.
I just hope I don't mess this up!
