ARABELLA’S POV

All VCA students are required to attend the program around 8 p.m. Packed meals for the would be served around 7 in the evening. There would be battle of the aspiring bands and of course V5 would be performing live.

“Ara! OMG!” Tina screamed excitedly. “I’m going to see Jason at last.” She said in her highest pitch.

I would actually like to cover my ears to protect my poor eardrums. Martina was crazy over Jason, a.k.a Jay of V5. Well, my bestfriend was been crazy over him since they were kids. They were childhood friends.

“I’m going to ask for his number later by hook or by crook.” She said while fidgeting something on her phone. I sighed inwardly. No doubt about it, she was head over heels to Mr. Drummer Boy of the famous band.

“Tina, are you sure about that?” Argana asked her. She was just sitting next to Tina while holding her phone as well. She also seemed to check her phone every minute.  I didn’t know what was going to both of them. They were the closest and true friends I could consider here in VCA.

“Of course, my friend, I will keep an eye on him starting tonight.” Tina said dramatically. Argana just rolled her eyes.

I couldn’t even figure out why the three of us became best of friends. Martina was from a rich family and maybe a little spoiled. Argana was also an orphan like me at the young age and was often called as the underdog while I was called as the trying hard. Both of them were real beauties.

I excused myself and went to the locker room to get fresh clothes. I needed to take a shower because my witch costume earlier made me sweat a lot. When I was done taking shower at the bathroom, I decided to take a nap because I still had two hours left before the program in evening. I was so tired. I decided to stay inside our classroom and sat on the chair.

I put on my earphones and started listening to the mp3 songs I’d stored in my SD card. Almost all of the songs I saved were from my favorite singers and groups. I decided to listen to all the songs of Jason Walker. I leaned on my chair in a slouch position and closed my eyes. I wanted to sleep but there were thoughts flooding back in my mind. I hated those memories. Those were like nightmares haunting me all this time.

The song playing was “Echo” by Jason Walker. I tried to focus on the message of the song to distract those memories.

Hello, hello
Anybody out there? ‘Cause I don’t hear a sound
Alone, alone
I don’t really know where the world is but I miss it now

I’m out on the edge and I’m screaming my name
Like a fool at the top of my lungs
Sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I’m alright
But it’s never enough

‘Cause my echo, echo
Is the only voice coming back
Shadow, shadow
Is the only friend that I have

I felt like crying. When was the last time I cried? I couldn’t remember. I just found myself one day tired of crying. I didn’t want to dwell on the past. Then, the song continued.
