(??? wakes up) ??? P.O.V

Oh, what a beautiful day to start- (??? looks around as the surroundings are destroyed) the morning today. Hi, I'm Melissa Jerger. I'm 16 years old and I am currently looking that this place is fully destroyed even in the city. I didn't expect this when I woke up. I hope I'm not late for school. (Melissa closes the broken squeaky window and as she moves on to be ready for her day) Yes, the window squeaks and is broken because I live in the oldest room in the house: the attic. This is supposed to be Julia's room but then it turned to my room instead because of Julia's room by her phobia of spiders. 

Back to me, I am the middle child of the family. I have a younger brother named Jule and an older sister Julia. I don't know where they are but I think they left for school. My hobbies are singing. I started singing when I was at the age of 6 and when I started singing ... people adored me especially the whole school. As I started getting famous for my singing, well 3 years ago after I sang in a divisional singing contest and won the award... I was given the news to my voice coach in a check-up that surprised me ... my voice is broken. (Melissa who is groomed with her school uniform goes outside and walks to school)

That was unexpected news when I heard that my voice is broken and I can't sing. That also made my heart broken as how I love singing so much. When I didn't sing anymore, people just ignore me like I don't exist to them. In the checkup, I was informed to rarely talk to not hurt my voice. I just made this my everyday life: to not talk. When I didn't talk, I got lower grades than before and also made my family's relationship to the point where my dad and mom got divorced by a daughter who can't speak or even sing. (Melissa arrives in her school)

Here we are in school ... Quod Gratis High School with the Latin phrase "in inceptum finis est". Let's go in, I don't want to be late in classes. (goes inside the school, people bumping at her, Melissa doesn't mind and moves on) (Melissa then goes to a classroom, when she enters she felt like no one sees her and it's her own reflection of fading away) And here is my classroom ... this is Section Mellifluous. (Melissa sits down, a girl named Jamaica sits near her)

Jamaica: Good Morning, Melissa. How's your day?

Melissa: My day is fine, Jamaica. You know that I can barely talk right?

Jamaica: Oh, yeah that incident. I still feel bad for you

Melissa: Classes are about to start. Go back to your seat. Someone can steal it. 

Jamaica: Okay, see you later in snack time. (Jamaica goes back to her seat, Melissa who is feeling tired looks outside the window at the city's destruction of buildings) 


In a different classroom near Melissa's classroom,

??? P.O.V (teacher discussing something, ??? looking at the city's destruction)

Why are you talking about science now? Planets?? Ugh, this is the worst subject in history. Oh, I'm Violet Loise. Before you assume, I'm a guy. My non-musical parents named me that because they thought I'm gonna be a girl but I'm not. I wish we can play the drums here. Maybe ... I don't know. 

(bell rang) Violet's Teacher: Oh everyone, study break for 5 minutes and I will call participants to answer questions that I will be writing on the whiteboard now. (Violet's Teacher wrote questions) 

I guess I should study then. (Violet gets her book and notebook and studies) 


In a bedroom of a big house, (??? looking at her phone)

Teacher: (in a ??? laptop's screen) Jazzie? Jazzie? Jazzie!! Are you focusing on this class right now? 

Jazzie: Yes, I am Mr. Hao. I'm listening to this Chinese class. I'm always looking forward to learning in this class.
