Chapter 4: Musika

I was awoke by a loud knock at the door, it sure is not new to me - getting my sleep interrupted - but who could this be? Is it the man that helped me last night? If yes, then I'd use this chance to thank him since I had forgotten to express my gratitude to him last night. I am really indebted to him, although he has not explained to me about this place.

Twisting the knob and pulling the door open, I was surprised to see another man standing before me. My eyes shot big and wide, the man I was expecting to greet me today was behind this one in front of me. He is wearing an evil grin which caused me to blush; I am looking like an old woman right now for God's sake!

"G-give me five minutes!" I scream, slamming the door shut and immediately headed inside the bathroom to wash up. I have not even brushed my teeth yet - oh my gosh, how could I forget my toothbrush?! It is not in my bag! This is a disaster!

"Miss Addison? Is everything all right?"

Eh? "Yes! Yes! Um, hold on! I'm coming!"

I raked my fingers through my jet black hair and looked at myself in the mirror for the last time. Straightening my back as I stand by the door, then gently twisting the knob once again and smile to the both of them. Although it is very obvious that I am trying to catch for my breath.

"I heard groans and screams, are you hurt perhaps?"

Now that I have taken a close look at his face, this person in front of me is Steven. I already know that he is very good-looking, but up close is very much different - his brown eyes are shining, plump lips and styled up hair - wow, everything about this man is art. Then my eyes darted on the other man that is behind Steven, this person that I do not know the name of. He is smirking, teasing but I am going to ignore that.

"Wha-what are you doing here by the way?" I smile.

Steven clears his throat, "Well, I heard that he is the one that brought you here last night. You must be feeling overwhelmed," he giggles while I raise him an eyebrow.

"Overwhelmed? Wh-why should I feel like that? He's no one special!" I groan, that surprised Steven followed by a fit of laughter. He then turned his head to his back.

"Have you not told her who you are?" I am very confused here, Steven treats this person as if he is a prince. Well I know that he also works here, he has mentioned that last night, however I did not think that he and Steven would be so close.

"How long are you going to keep everyone guessing? You're such a bully." Steven chuckles and I interrupted their sweet talk.

"Who is he really?" They looked at me while I wait for an answer, the two of them glanced at each other once more as Steven smiles to me.

"This person is Axl Karlo Silas - one of the most big hit producer in the music industry. You probably have heard of him, be it on the radio or television. But seeing that you were not able to recognize him, I guess you had no idea what he looks like." He giggles.

I am stunned. Turning to that person to this person and back to that person - are you kidding me?! The person from that day and last night was Axl Karlo Silas?! This must be a dream! Tell me that I have not done anything embarrassing in front of this person!

I pull on my hair; God, I am so humiliated. I just want to vanish into thin air and never come back. Axl must think of me as stupid and someone that has no shame. Oh my goodness..

"Don't worry, I won't let anyone know," he whispered and I glare at him. Later turn them into puppy eyes as I put my hands into a prayer form.

"Forgive me, please, let me get the chance to work with you! It is one of my dream! Let me sing your songs!"

Axl lets out some air from his lips and came forward, I try my best to give him a sincere smile but came out forced. The giant then flicks my forehead.

"It is not me that wants you, aren't you here because of Steven?"

"Oh," I straightened my back and look at him. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be, I understand how you feel about him. Axl is just really that talented that every talents wanted to work with him," he smiles only to receive a smack from Axl.

"Your songs are way better than mine, don't put yourself down." He growled; Steven chuckles.

"Alright," he looks back to me. "Then, shall we take a tour around the school?"

I raised an eyebrow. "School? This is a school?"

Steven glares to his friend. "I cannot believe you," Axl just shrugs.

"Anyway, let's go, Miss Addison. I'll explain every little thing to you along the way," he smiles as he extended one hand to me. I stared down to it for a couple of seconds, and gladly took it with a smile on my face.

"Jeff," I looked into his eyes. "Call me Jeff."

Now that I think about it, it does not look like I am the only person in this big mansion. It was pitch black when I got here and that's why I couldn't see clearly, but there are more rooms as we pace along the hallway. Each door has a name carved on it, the same with mine; this place is amazing. But I wonder why Axl has brought me here, Jameson University is a good place for me already.

"Welcome to Musika - the special school for talents, like yourself."

There is a huge staircase in front of us, one that you would see in a castle; a red carpet spread around and a very wide and spacious ballroom! Is this place really a school though? Because it sure does look like a palace to me, considering how big and how it was built.

"This is where talents often practice their piece," Steven interrupted my thoughts. "You are free to come here every time you want, after all, your staying in this school is free."

"FREE?!" I shouted. "Oh you better not be joking!"

"I definitely am not," he smiles.

I started leaping in joy, running up the stairs then sliding back down. Squealing and jumping; as I take Steven's hands and thanked him for thousands of times.

"This is the first time that I feel so happy!" Then I wrap my arms around his waist tightly then let go quickly, "Thank you!"

"Every talent should feel important," he blurted out while looking into my eyes with a smile. "- that is a very special rule inside this mansion."

I giggle. "I am eternally grateful to all of you! Wohoo!"

This is the start of my new journey in life - alone and free!

Mommy, here I go!
