Burnt Sugar [F.W]

•31•

I woke up.
The sunlight was striped because of the curtains' pattern.
I ate baked waffles for breakfast.

I went and sat behind my piano and started playing and singing 'Skinny Love' by Birdy.
I had a phone call so I was interrupted.

Ap : Ayla?
Ay : We're heading to_
Ap : No way I'm coming! We just came from picnic last night.
Ay : Charlie will leave in two days. Come down!
Ap : Down?

I looked down one of the rooms' window to see the whole group in front of my door.
Pff.
I put up my hair in a bun and wore this

I rushed downstairs and out of the house.
They all started walking down the road.
"Where are we going anyway?" I asked.
"To the theatre."
"Oh are we gonna watch a show or something?"
Everybody started laughing like crazy.
"Guys?" I said again.
"It's our show, Charlie is gonna watch!" Ayla exclaimed.
"What the actual fuck guy?! You're telling this me now?!" I shouted.
"You didn't let me tell through the phone!" Ayla defended.
"True." I rolled my eyes.

-Time Skip-

We were practicing and Charlie had gone to buy some snack.
It was 3:57 and the concert was at 5 so we were all stiff bored.
Malcolm was playing with his drumsticks, Finn was playing some dumb chords like me, Ayla left to see what had took Charlie so long and Jack was lying on a couch where we were practicing scrolling through his phone.
I sighed a loud and long sigh which caused everybody look at me for a split second.

"So how about you teach me some piano?" Finn said sitting on the piano seat next to me.
"Uh... are you... serious?"
"So I know where the notes are... that's it."
He really was serious.

"Okay so first, that is definitely not how you put your hands on the keys. You shouldn't let your knuckles pop out... you know what I mean?" I said and he gave me a confused look.
"No?" He said almost asking a question.
"Bro see... your palms shouldn't be higher than your fingers." I said as I pushed his palms down from the surface of his hands.
"Oh. Okay now teach me a short extract or something." He said.
I pulled his hands and dropped them on the black keys.
I played 'Mary had a little lamb' and he played what I played afterwards without noticing it's that song till the middle of if.
"Bitch you teaching me 'Mary's lamb' song!"
"Haha, what? Did you expect me to teach you 'Fur Elise'?"
"I knew it sounded familiar!" He got up and went back to his sit next to his guitar.

"Hey guys! We're back!" Ayla said.
"Where were you?" I asked.
"Charlie was stuck in the bathroom."
"Uh? Uh-huh... I got what you mean."
"Anyways the show is starting in 30 minutes and it is really crowded out there. We should get ready!"
"Ready? Aren't we?" I asked.
"If you're not fixing that loose bun of yours then we are." She said and I rolled my eyes at her.
"Where are the snacks?" I asked.
"Right there." Charlie pointed to a corner.
"Woohoo ice coffee and donuts!"

-Time Skip-

"Hey vancouver, this is Calpurnia!" Finn shouted through his mic.
Charlie started cheering like crazy in the front row.

... who gets the last laugh after I call her...
I feel cold
Oh lord, I feel cold
I feel cold...

The concert finished after several songs and Charlie started running towards the backstage.
"Wow, you guys literally rock! You were great out there! I'm so sad I'm leaving to tomorrow night." Charlie's expression turned from an about to get launched rocket to a melting snowman.
"We've still got time!" Ayla tried to cheer her up.
"Yeah... I'm hungry." It was 7 but we hadn't had lunch except those donuts and the ice coffee.
"Same. Lets go get some sushis!"
"Sushis?" I said with a 'Right Now?' gesture.
"Yeah!" At that we headed to the nearest sushi bar.
"What would you like to have?" The waiter asked.
"Uh...," I had looked up everything on the menu on the internet so I wouldn't get anything I didn't like. "I'd like a dish of salmon sashimi and for the drink... the Ichigo mocktail."

Everybody else ordered as well and we started talking about different stuff till another waitress brought out food.
