MiLoh BSGSSB Adventures

A New Start

Third person view

MiLoh was rudely woken up by shrieking voices and the bed rocking violently, threatening to throw him off. He groaned and pulled the covers over his head, only to have them pulled off completely. He let out a long exasperated sigh.
"WAKE UP POPS!!!!"yelled Tetra at the top of her lungs, bouncing around on his bed. Clarice, too, had joined in on this irritating bout of hysteria.
"Tetra, as much as I appreciate your enthusiasm at an early time like this, I would advise you not to attempt breaking my bones because I still have a lot of things I haven't accomplished."mumbled MiLoh.

What day was it? What reason did she have to come bouncing in at 6.30am?
"There's band today and you said you were going to drive me to school. Secondly, you can't not come today because WE'RE MOVING TO THE NEWLY RENOVATED SITE!!!!!"she said, being slightly more careful this time not to jump directly on him. As much as MiLoh didn't want to move, he would have to, or risk being trampled on by 2 overenthusiastic females. He rolled reluctantly out of bed and yawned again.
"Whatever you fed her for breakfast Clarice, make sure you never do it again."

In about an hour, MiLoh was driving the both of them to school. He was surely going to miss the close location of the school now, as the new one would take about an hour JUST to get there. He had heard the Band Gang's views about the new school recently, thus he knew all the different factors affecting them.
"It's gonna be one hell of a school! It looks even bigger than our old one!!"
"Yeah, but the old one feels more home-y and besides, I have to take an hour's journey on public transport."
"I mean, it's worth it. All the facilities are going to be updated and new, so what's to fret?"
"True, but where will we have lunch during the holidays? If you want the hawker centre you gotta walk far, and the only close thing is Cheers and I don't think instant noodles 3 times a week is healthy."
"It's not, Rathi."
""I know."
"Hush, instant noodles are great,"
"Yes but I don't want to conduct an OBESE BAND, Xuan."
"Ok ok."

They arrived at the school at around 7.50am. MiLoh obviously expected 90% of them to be there at like, 7.00am, he had never questioned band girls' discipline.
"Morning, girls,"he said casually. Of course, he also had to expect the entire band room freezing, then looking at him, then simultaneously greeting him back. There were boxes strewn everywhere and sections sat in circles on the floor, doing their final packing. Others who had already finished their packing were cleaning out their section cupboards and making sure everything was in order.

"Expected you to come a little earlier, Tetra,"sniffed the clarinet section leader, "but no matter. We still have a ton of things to do so you can help out." Tetra gave MiLoh a small wave and went to join her section with Clarice. Clarice technically wasn't supposed to be here but she was eager to see the newly renovated school, so decided to stay for the whole day.

MiLoh looked around awkwardly for something to do, and luckily for him, Diya came to give him a task.
"Xuan has wet tissues, so you can borrow from her. I want all those section cupboards wiped clean. We will leave things the way we found them." MiLoh thought that was very considerate of her, considering the cupboards weren't exactly sparkling when they had arrived. In fact, they had had to mop the floor of the studio multiple times, and he couldn't forget the grey marks their shoes left on the wet floor. Nevertheless, he got a few wet wipes from Xuan and started cleaning.

The section cupboards were more filthy than MiLoh ever expected. For the walls of the cupboard to look so white, the bacteria had to be a master of disguise. In no time at all the once white tissues were pitch black, bits of stray hair and goodness knows what stuck to them. MiLoh tried not to push anyone out of the way as he bolted to the bin to dispose of the tissues. He looked upwards and sighed. Diya must have been pranking him, because she obviously knew he would be too short to reach the very top row of shelves. He jumped as high as he could, his arm stretched out with one more wet tissue, and tried to reach the top shelf. Just for the sake of trying. He grunted and jumped again. "Curse my bloody short legs!"he muttered under his breath furiously. Then the hairs on the back of his neck stood. Someone was behind him.
