It was Tuesday, the second day of How to Rock and we were waiting for Calum to come in the classroom.

"Hi guys, sorry I'm late."

Today he taught us some shredding techniques on the guitar that would help us increase our speed when we do a solo.

"So, the most basic technique is hammer ons and pull offs.  It's a simple concept but it does really help join notes together when you're trying to play really fast.  Just like this."  He shows us a little riff.  He then went on to bass and drum techniques.

Throughout the whole lesson, I could see from my peripheral vision that Calum was sneaking glances at me quite frequently.

"Lia, do I have something on my face? I feel Cal looking at me a lot."

"No you don't...but I know what's up," she smirked.

"What?"

"I have a theory...I know it sounds crazy but that must be it."

"What are you on about..?"

"In time you'll see."

"Hi Cal.  I don't know if this is appropriate but since I may never be able to meet you ever again after How to Rock ends, I might as well take this chance." Calum looks at me confused.

"Could you pleaseeeee sign my Youngblood album??"

"Um yeah, sure." He looked at me a little irritated, which was not what I expected.  He seemed really nice yesterday.  "But don't do this again next time, I am only here as your teacher for Activities Week.  Nothing else."

I nodded disappointedly.

We had to perform again at the end of the lesson.  Looks like this is a thing that's gonna happen for the rest of the week.  Lia and I went up at the front and got ready.

Every moment spent, I wish I was with you

And every night I slept, I dreamt I was with you

No matter where you go, you know I'd wait for you

I would break in bed, if you wanted me to

I sang, looking at Calum to have him staring at me intently.

So you go your way and I'll go mine

And if we're meant to, I'll meet you there

We can't speed up the hands of time

But if we're meant to, (lo-lo-lo-love)

I'll meet you there

(Lo-lo-lo-love)

I'll meet you there

(Lo-lo-lo-love)

When it's physical, I can't keep track of days

But the emotional, is more than we can take

Oh, I'm just waiting for, waiting for you

To tell you that, tell you that you're

Oh, I'd keep waiting for, waiting for you

If you wanted me to

So you go your way and I'll go mine

And if we're meant to, I'll meet you there

We can't speed up the hands of time

But if we're meant to, (lo-lo-lo-love)

I'll meet you there

(Lo-lo-lo-love)

I'll meet you there

(Lo-lo-lo-love)

This time and next time, you know I'll meet you there

This time and next time, you know I'll meet you there

This time and next time, you know I'll meet you there

This time and next time, you know I'll meet you there

So you go your way and I'll go mine

And if we're meant to, I'll meet you there

We can't speed up the hands of time

But if we're meant to, (lo-lo-lo-love)

I'll meet you there

(Lo-lo-lo-love)

I'll meet you there

(Lo-lo-lo-love)

I'll meet you there

Tell me what's on, on my mind

Is this is it?

(Lo-lo-lo-love)

Once again the room was filled with cheers.  Calum finally gave up on his act and I saw a mere smile across his lips.  The small act warmed up my heart and I felt a shot of electricity through my spine.
