Chapter 1 - When we first met

Twylish's POV

It was like the first day of school all over again. Except this time in the middle of Autumn. And at the other side of the town. When my father drove me down the streets, I sat at the back of the car playing with the hem of my shirt.

"It's gonna be alright darling." My father assured me. I nodded, not really paying attention to what he said. Finally the car pulled up in a familiar hall. It's the town hall. "This is where I hav my lessons?!" I asked, surprised. I always came here to listen to all kinds of music performances.

"Yes. Now do you want me to walk you in, or by yourself??" He turned around to face me.

"I'll go by myself. You will only attract me more attention." I joked, smiling. He seemed to understand though, that I don't want to hav more attention with all this nervousness I hav. "Then I'll pick you up after practice." I nodded, got out of the car, and waved goodbye before climbing the steps to the town hall.

It took me a while, but I found the room I needed to be in. I peeked from behind the door and saw Mr. Dolohov trying to get everyone to quiet down by tapping his baton on the hercules stand, but no one really noticed. I decided to walk in and help Mr. Dolohov quiet down the room. It actually worked.

I opened the door and walked towards Mr. Dolohov. People started whispering and pointing, which caught Mr. Dolohov's attention, and his face lightened up.

"Welcome, Twyla!!" He cried, standing up from his tall stool and greeting me. Everyone around me stared quietly at me. Some even looked confused. Obviously they weren't be treated that way when they first came to join the orchestra. But I ignored the stares and took Mr. Dolohov's hand to shake it.

"This is our new member of The Hallowss!! Introduce yourself!!" Mr. Dolohov stepped back, making me centre of attention again. I cleared my throat.

"Uhm.. My name is Twyla Gray." I don't feel like saying my really name, cuz it's a bit weird. "I study at LaneWorth Music Acedemy (A/N- famous school I created that was full of music geniuses)." I heard a few gasps from the crowd. "And my father is a violinist, and my mother is a singer. I've started learning violin when I was only 3, and finished all ABRSM just a few months ago." Another gasp. "I'm 12 this year and I've always wanted to join The Hallowss... So I'm here now." I clap my hands together and did an awkward half-bow.

A few people applauded, and then the whole class joined in. I did a weak smile and Mr. Dolohov pointed a seat at the back of 1st violin. "You may sit there for now, Twyla." Then he bent down and whispered, "Just so it doesn't look too suspicious. Sorry for giving u the crappy seat."

"It's not a problem at all, Mr. Dolohov!!" I waved my hands in front of my awkwardly and carried my violin to the back of 1st violin, where I sat with a girl with brown hair tied into a neat ponytail. She looked just as old as I am.

"Hi. My name's Julianne. I'm 15." She said with a smile.

"What?! You look like 12!!" I was surprised to hear that she's 15. She looks really young, and she was just a little bit taller than I am!!

Julianne chuckled slightly. "Yes people always say I look like 12-13, but I'm actually 15. I can't believe someone this young will be joining our team. This is the oldest team so far."

I nodded in an understanding way. "Mr. Dolohov said I should enter Team A right after the auditions."

Julianne raised one of her eyebrows. "We call him Mart. No one really calls anyone by their surname here, even the older ones, like the teachers or something. We're basically a family."

Just then, Mr. Dol- um, Mart called us to be quiet again, n this time we all shut up. Then we started orchestra practice.

During break, me n Julianne went to play the xylophone right behind us. It was really cool. U basically get this stick and knock them on the boards and there will be different sounds, like a playing a piano with 2 sticks u use to knock on the keys. I was just trying out a scale when I heard someone behind me say, "Oi!"

I turned around to see a boy that looked like he's 14 years old, with dark hair kind of separated into 2 sides, like bangs. Overall he looks kind of cute. His green eyes flash at flashed at Julianne before glaring at me. "You don't punch them with the stick ok? You softly knock it with the tip, or you may actually break the xylophone."

I glared back at him. "I play the violin, not the xylophone. I'd rather prefer u kindly tell me how to play it." I retorted.

He smirked. "What's your name?"

"I'm Twyla Gray." I said, holding out a hand and giving him a bored look.

"Percy Foster." He said, slapping his hand into mine. That made me thing of Baymax, so I turned my hand into a fist. Surprisingly he gave me a fist bump n walked away.
