CHAPTER 7

VIVIANA KNIGHT

The next day, there was an event in the college so the classes were suspended for that reason but Xavier asked me to meet him in the campus for rehearsal because Shining Shindig is just a week from now.

When I reached the music room, none of the guys were there. And for some reason, the music room was empty for the first time.

I placed my bag on the chair and adjusted my headphones, playing a song.

It felt so good, like it was me the protagonist performing a concert for the audience.

"Fever dream high in the quiet of the night
You know that I caught it (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price
You know that I bought it (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)

Killing me slow, out the window
I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
What doesn't kill me makes me want you more

And it's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, woah-oh
It's a cruel summer
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, woah-oh
It's a cruel summer with you"

I continued singing and dancing.

Damn! This feels so good.

"I'm drunk in the back of the car
And I cried like a baby comin' home from the bar (Oh)
Said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
And I snuck in through the garden gate
Every night that summer just to seal my fate (Oh)
And I scream, "For whatever it's worth
I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"
He looks up, grinnin' like a devil"

And that's when my eyes spotted him. He stood at the entrance holding the guitar in his back.

I stopped dancing and took off my headphones.

Without any word he entered the room and took a seat, starting to adjust his guitar while I stood rooted in my place in embarrassment.

Finally he got up from his seat and said "Let's begin."

I nodded and stood in front of the mic.

He started with his song first then I finished my part. We sat on the floor, discussing which duo we should sing.

"It's just a week later and we are still discussing it." I said.

"So? I have performed after a day's preparation."

"Because that's you. You sing, I don't. Xavier Quinn is famous for being the best band of all time!"

"Not all time."

"You guys have been acing the Shining Shindig for the last two years!"

"Why are you comparing yourself?"

"I am not comparing." I stopped.

He wouldn't understand. Extroverted people never do.

"Forget it. Let's decide what to do."

"Not until you answer me." He replied, leaning against the wall.

"It's just you wouldn't understand."

"Why won't I?"

Because everything is so normal to you. You don't care about anybody's feelings.

I got up from the floor to leave the room to get some fresh air.
