I'm a bit nervous. I've been practicing Für Elise last night for like an hour. It's one of the master pieces that I'm familiar with. Incase the Music Adviser let me play other piano pieces astleast my back-up piece is Howl's Moving Castle Theme Song. I know lots of different piano pieces. One of my favorites is also Laputa:Castle In The Sky Theme.

I hope that I will not make a mistake while playing the piano, because sometimes I panic when I commit mistakes. I also can't concentrate when someone is talking to me while playing the piano.

So the audition day came. The Music Club room is not that big. It has the same size like our classroom. The room is painted mint green. I love the color.

There were other people. But only a few. If I'm not mistaken, we are less than 15. Most of them were girls. The only boys were the gang band or the Rocker Rules I should say and 3 Senior High boys. But I didn't see Dave. He was not yet in the room. I wonder where he is...

So while waiting for the teacher I sat down beside a girl. I think she's the same batch with me. She's from the other class. She looks friendly. She has large glasses and freckles on her cheek. But she doesn't have braces. Good thing she doesn't have one, because she'd look like a nerd if she has braces.

"Hi, I'm Mary Brown. What's yours?" She asked me with a smile.

"Hello, my name is Candace Scott." I replied back

Then all of the sudden she started laughing. Actually she was snorting. She laughs like a pig.

"Nice to meet you Candies Scotch." She said in a childish way.

"It's Candace Scott, not Candies Scotch." I said. But I didn't get easily pissed off.

"Hihi. Yeah I know. I was just joking. Sorry. I promise I won't repeat it again. You have a nice name, really." She said grinning back at me.

"Uh thanks". I replied.

"So, what brings you here? I mean what instruments do you play?" She asked.

"I play the piano. How about you?" I said.

"I'm not an instrumentalist. But I'm a singer." She said.

"Are you a classical or pop singer?" I asked.

"I'm a classical singer. I am a member of the chior in our church." She answered.

"Oh okay. Alto or Soprano?" I asked again.

"Soprano." She answered quickly.

"So, how long you've been playing the piano?" She asked.

"Almost 6 years." I replied.

As she was going to say something, I saw Dave entering the room. And my jaw dropped. He was more handsome than ever. His black leather jacket made him even more attractive.

"You're late." Said Finn

"I'm sorry, I just fixed something." Dave said.

"Is that blood in your nose?" Eugene asked.

"Holy crap, it is." Dave said. He pinched his nose and doesn't know what to do. Blood started to come out fast.

So I went near to him and said: "Chin up. But not too high."

Surprisingly he did what I said. And I handed him some tissue paper.

"Here, take these." I said.

He didn't say a word.

"You should probably go to the clinic," said Eugene.

"Nah, I'm okay." Dave said.

So I went back to my seat. Then I've noticed something different. All the girls were starring at me.
