'But we don't have the vocalist. We're fine about joining it. But we don't have the vocalist, Nat! Who's going to replace Trisha's place?' I recall last night conversation with Cora and Victoria. Cora have a point. It's true. Space Note currently doesn't have vocalist. Who's going to sing? I sighed.

"Alright class, that's all for today," Ms. Sara's voice shocked me. Everyone standing up saying thank you to Ms. Sara. I put my head in the table right after I sat.

"What's wrong?" Jacob asked me.

I raised my head and looked at him.

"Nothing," I said. Leaning back to my chair.

"You always said nothing when you have something bothering you," Jacob looked at me.

"Its true -" then suddenly I recall what Cora said last night 'vocalist. We need a vocalist, Nat' then I realize something. Jacob. He can replace Trisha's place. That's it. I smiled from ear to ear.

"What are smiling about?" Jacob looked at me weirdly.

"Jacob, do you have football practice today?" I asked.

"No. Wh -"

"Good! Meet me in my room at 3 p.m.. I have something important that I want to tell you," I smiled. Since Alice, Andrew and some other literature club member are having trip to Liverpool for two weeks, I'm now the boss.

To : Vic

Skype. 3 o'clock. With Cor too.

I glared at my watch. It's 2.15 p.m.. I took some food for take away. I want to eat it in my room. I rushed to my room. Took a quick shower. Change into casual shirt. It's 2.45 p.m. but I've already log in to my Skype account. Waiting for Victoria to online.

My waiting end 10 minutes later when I received a call from Victoria. Their face poped up. We happily greet each other.

"What is it?" Cora asked me.

"I think I've got a solution about the vocalist," I smiled widely.

"Really?" Victoria and Cora said.

"Yes," then suddenly the door being knock. That's must be Jacob. "Oh. Our vocalist have arrives," I said before I jump off from my bed to get downstairs and open the door.

"Jacob! Come in," he steps inside my room. After closed the door, I grabbed his hand and quickly moved upstairs. Both of us sat in front of the laptop.

"Guys, this is Jacob. Jacob, this is Cora and this is Victoria," I said.

"Uh, hello," he said.

"So you're Jacob, huh? Nat told us a lot about you," Victoria spoke. Hearing that Jacob turned and looked at me.

"Vic, I hate you," I mumbled.

"So what I am suppose to do here? I thought you got something important that you want to tell me?" Jacob looked at me and raise a brow.

I rubbed my hands a few times. "Well, Jacob, we want you in our band," I said bluntly. His eyes widen hearing that.

"What band?" He looked at me curiously.

"This," I handed him the poster. It took a few seconds for him to finish read it.

He looked at me. "Why do you want to join this?" He asked me.

"Nat! You haven't told him?!" Cora yelled at me. I shook my head. "And now you expect him to accept that? Wow Nat. You really jump into a conclusion," Cora raised her voice. Seems like she's mad.

"Telling me what?" Jacob looked at us simultaneously.

"Well, Jacob, we joined it because this is our chance to make a comeback," I said.

"What comeback?" He looks really curious.

"Space Note," I said and looked at him. His eyes widen once hearing that.

"Space Note? What are you talking about?" Again he looked at us simultaneously.

"We're the member of Space Note. I'm the guitarist, Cora plays keyboard and Vic the drummer," I explained. He looks like he didn't believe it.

He moves back a little. He looks at us simultaneously. "This is not a joke, right?" He mumbled. I nodded. "If I say yes, what position will I get?"

"Vocalist," I said. "We need someone who can replace Trisha. By joining this contest, this is our chance to make a comeback. Can you imagine how many people will be happy about this? Please Jacob. I'm begging you," I said. Cora and Victoria nodded as if they're agreed with me.

Jacob looked at me. "I...," he rubbed at the back of his neck. "I don't know. Give me time to think about this," he said before he left the room.

I was laying on my bed hearing to the music waiting to fall asleep when suddenly I heard a knock. I paused the music and jump off from my bed. I opened the door. It's Jacob.

"Jacob?" I stared at him.

"Yeah," he rubbed at the back of his neck. "Can I come in?"

"Oh sure. Come in," I opened the door wider so that Jacob can come in. We walked upstairs. I sat on my bed and Jacob sat at the end of my bed. We're facing each other.

"Hey," Jacob broke the silence. I smiled looking at him. "I want to talk with you," he said.

"Go on," I patiently wait for him to say words.

"I've think about it," he took a deep breath. "I'll do it. I join your band," he said. Smiling. My eyes widen once hearing that. I immediately hug him. I'm too happy that I don't even realize that I hug him.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I said happily after releasing the hug. He nodded.
