So Close to Being in Love Chapter 10
Today's music contest,"I assumed you wouldn't come because you despise music. But here you are. Okay, follow me. Let's go to the ice cream stand and get one ice cream for each other before the competition begins." Hannah drove me to an ice cream parlour near the venue.In front of the ice cream parlour,Hannah chose the mint chocolate flavour, while I was still considering my options. There are so many different flavours here. Which flavour should I go for?"If you're unsure about tasting new flavours, go for chocolate. I bet it'll taste good." While I was looking at the ice cream, Senior Caleb said to me.Hannah muttered, "What's going on here? Is the gossip true?""What gossip are you talking about?" I asked back."Caleb, the senior, is hitting on you."This is probably why Andrew inquired about senior Caleb. He must have heard the rumour as well. Who is promoting such rumours? Actually, it's not like that, but I don't want to be perceived as such by Andrew.Senior Caleb handed me

After senior Caleb left, I entered Ash's room and stated, "He said you two are friends, so why did you speak to him as if you didn't know him?""That happened in the past. Leave my room if you came here to ask me about him. He stated that he is after you. What exactly does he mean by that?""I said I'm not interested in him but he's not taking it, I don't know what to do with him. I only like Andrew." I said quietly as I sat near him."Anyway, he'll attempt a lot of things, so don't fall for him at any cost. He likes a girl and moves on to another when he loses interest in the first. Even if he doesn't, inform me and I'll take care of it myself.""That is what Andrew told me."Sh*t!"Wait, what did you say, Andrew? When did you first start talking to him? Did you tell him you loved him? Please tell me the entire tale.""Wait, wait, wait. Don't draw any judgments on your own. First of all, Andrew is my crush, not more than that. Secondly, Andrew was in the same music club that I am. So

In the music club,Senior Caleb bought me a drink again, despite the fact that I told him I don't drink the flavours he buys, and he insisted on getting other flavours until I liked it. I'm not sure how long he'll keep doing this, but until then, I guess I'll have to put up with it.He placed the drink in front of me and stated, "This was purchased from GH, which serves the best drinks near our college. My swimming club pals advised against it, so I went there and had a drink by myself. It was tasty like they said. So, I'm sure you'll enjoy this flavour."I took a sip of the drink. It was refreshing and simply amazing. But I didn't want to reveal it on my face, so I remained motionless with no expression on my face."How's it?" He inquired, excitedly."It's not to my taste," I remarked, leaving the drink on the table.He sighed and replied, "I thought you'd appreciate it since I really liked it. People have varied preferences. It's okay, I'll surprise you next time.""You don't have t

In the music venue,"Today, we'll study the G major chord, which is the final chord in the guitar lessons.""Amelia plays G major well, senior," Lance says as senior Jacob teaches us the G-major.Jacob senior, "Really? Did you learn it already?""A little."Lance, "I heard her playing it before the class started, it came out really well."Senior, "Amelia, play it for us too. I want to know how you practiced too."In front of the class, I played the G major.Senior Jacob clapped his hands and remarked, "That indicates you've mastered the major chords. That was a great effort you put in.""Thank you very much, senior.""They anticipate more than just listening to the majors in the guitar," a student commented which made me feel down.Senior, "Well, practice for the competition. I'm not sure if you'll win the contest, but I'm impressed that you learned it faster than anyone else. Best wishes for your competition, Amelia.""Thank you very much, senior."I couldn't believe what senior Jaco

In my bedroom,"I noticed senior Caleb sending you off in front of the home. you have a competition tomorrow, but you're hanging around with him. What about taking the competition phase so seriously? Did it evolve over time? You entered the contest to prove them wrong, but now what? Is this your new method of proving yourself to them?"Andrew was never upset at me before. This was the first time, and it was terrifying."I apologise."I couldn't think of anything else to say to him. I don't even know how to adequately apologise to him since it's my first time being in a situationp like this with him. I took out my guitar and began practising to appease him."What are you up to?""Rehearsing for tomorrow's competition."He exhaled a sigh and added, "It appears that you did not understand what I was saying. You have a competition tomorrow, so rest up." And leaped out my window.The following day,Today is the music competition. When I awoke from my sleep, all I could think about was the

After getting inside Ash's car, , "When did you return?" I said as I entered the car."Aren't you going to invite him over first?""Are you certain about it? Aren't you mad with him?""Why should I? I'm not like our father, Amelia. I don't argue with my neighbour about trivial matters. It appears like the rain will not cease either. Better call him inside."I got out of the car and approached Andrew, saying, "Get in your car. We'll drop you off at your house""It's all right. I'll arrive as soon as the rain stops.""Come with us, It doesn't appear to be slowing down."While I was asking Andrew to get in the car, Ash contacted him, and Andrew eventually agreed to accompany us.I sat beside Ash in the passenger seat while Andrew sat in the rear.I questioned Ash while he was driving, "When did you come back from Alabama? You stated that it would take three days to match, right?""I thought so, but it was cancelled due to inclement weather and rescheduled for next month.""Oh, okay. How

At Gina's party,I haven't seen Andrew in this house in over two hours. I also don't see the girls that mentioned the party. Did they discuss the various parties? Is it possible that I invited myself to the incorrect party? What exactly did I do? I'm afraid I won't be able to stay. I looked around the house, half of them were intoxicated, and the other half were dancing like apes. Is this how it happens at a party? This place drives me insane, I should go. I was going to leave when I noticed something.Hannah inquired, "Why are you sitting around? Go chat to people and try to socialise.""I'm leaving home," I murmured, staring at her."Why?""It's dull here. It's also really packed."I was about to leave when I noticed the girl from the club who talked about the party. They've arrived? So that wasn't a separate party. I found the correct one. So Andrew will also come here, right?Hannah, "Don't leave quite yet, remain a little longer."I turned and replied, "Okay. But I'll leave after

It smells like medicine when I take a sniff. What am I doing?When I open my eyes, the first thing that strikes me is the white ceiling. My heart rate begins to increase once more. Is it true that I'm in the hospital? Am I going to die? It takes me a long to realise I'm fine. I raised my head and looked about. The room was painted white and blue, and there was an IV station near my bed from which I was receiving glucose.I couldn't move my hand when I tried to sit straight by resting it on the bed for support. Why couldn't I get it to move, and why does it feel so heavy? My right hand had a cast on it when I glanced at it. What became of my hand? My head hurt when I attempted to recall. My brain felt like it was filled with cotton, and my body was numb. It takes me a while to recall when I lost the use of my hands. My fingertips were tingling with pins and needles. They moved stiffly, and the way they shook indicated that I couldn't feel anything else."Amelia, when did you wake up?" M

The wedding day, My brother's wedding is today. I'm still in a state of shock and can't stop thinking about it. The wedding itself was beautiful, the guest list incredible and everything. My mom and dad managed to pull off their usual amazing job last week even though I couldn't help them because of my music event. After putting on my bridesmaids dress, I stood in front of my mom and asked, "How do I look, mom?" She said, "You look beautiful, babes. Now, go and get your brother here. The flowers haven't arrived yet." I nodded and walked out of the wedding Avenue to find my brother. While I was searching for him, I saw Mike talking on his phone. Maybe he knows where my brother is.I walked towards him to ask about my brother, but I got called out my name. It's my brother's voice. Mike saw me standing in front of him and asked, "Wh…" My brother called out my name again so I turned away from him and walked to my brother. I told my brother, "Mom called for you."

After the lunch was over, Mrs Campbell said, "We still have one last thing to do."Mom, "What is it? We did every purchase and the invitations and the presents, right? Did we leave anything out?" "It's the wedding!" And hit my mom. "Yeah." While looking at my mom, it looks like me and Andrew. Their conversation looked funny as ours did. Cathy asked me, "Do you plan to go somewhere after this?" I shook my head and said, "No, why?" "Then, come with us to the pre-wedding party." "Us?" "You, me, Anna and her friends. It'll be fun.""I stopped drinking. It's been a while now. Sorry, I can't go." Anna stood beside me and asked Cathy, "Is she denying again?" Cathy nodded to her. Anna said, "Actually, we're not inviting you. We're forcing you to come. So even if you said no, you are coming anyway. Moreover, it's my last party where I can still chill with the girls as bachelorette." And pouted her lips."Okay, okay. I'll go"Anna, "I never knew it would work for my sister as well."

At the bridal dress shop, As soon as I entered, I saw a whole bunch sitting on the couch waiting for me. My mom, Mrs Campbell, Anna and Cathy. I asked them after seeing them, "I thought you already finished shopping for the wedding, why didn't you?" My mom asked me to take a seat beside her and told me, "We finished taking outfits for everyone, babes.""Then, what are we doing here mom?""Because there's still someone who hasn't chosen the dress yet.""Who's it?" When I asked her, she just stared at me. When I looked at others for the answer they just stared at me. What are they staring at me for? I asked, "You look like it's me."They nodded together."I thought you already picked up dresses for the bridesmaids."Anna, "Yeah, we did but you didn't show up while we're choosing our outfits so we waited for you.""You make me feel like I'm important." Mrs Campbell, "Ofcourse, you are important. If it wasn't for you, the wedding wouldn't have happened in the first place, I wouldn't

After Two yearsAt college, In the music club, I let out a yawn which made Hannah give a smack on my head.I whined at her, "What was that for?" "Why are you yawning in the middle of my class? If you want to yawn, don't do it in front of me. Go somewhere else.""Hmph!" I stood up and walked away from Hannah and freshman juniors. I can't believe I'm a senior now. I took out my phone and checked out the group messages in the music club. I smiled when I saw my old group chat with friends like Hannah and Cathy, it was still there even after all these years. I didn't bother to read anything else, instead scrolling through online. I couldn't remember any new pictures or videos from our freshman year."Senior Amelia!" I looked up and saw who it was. It's Carey, one of the juniors from the classical music faculty. "What is it?" "I forgot to bring my guitar today, can I leave home?" I took my guitar and gave it to her and said, "Go and practise with them. We have an event to perform t

At college, Andrew asked me, "So you came to the house that day to find information related to the fued?" I asked Cathy, "Why did you say that to him?" Andrew asked me, "Answer me, why are you asking her?" I said to Andrew, "Yeah." "What did you find there?" I whined to Cathy, "Help me, Cathy."Cathy said to Andrew, "What do you want with her? Why are you asking her like she did something wrong? She's the reason for your family feud getting solved. If she didn't do that, your sister wouldn't make her dream come true."Andrew, "Yeah, I know. I'm just asking to know how she found those things and how she solved them." Cathy, "It got solved and everything became fine now. So more questions and don't make her feel uncomfortable, okay?" After Andrew nodded, I thanked Cathy for speaking for me. Andrew, "Hey, are you friends with me or Cathy?" Cathy put her hand over my shoulder and said, "She's my friend."Andrew asked me, "Aren't you friend, Amelia?" I looked at both of them and

At house, I came to my room after finishing dinner and turned off the lights like I went to sleep. I changed my outfit to something dark and took a cap and a mask incase if i got caught, to escape using it. I put my phone to vibrate and looked through the blinds to look at Andrew's room. There wasn't anyone. Where did they go? While i was looking through the blinds, i got a message from Cathy. "We're eating dinner." Then, i should wait for some more time. I sat near the window and browsed through the online. I smiled seeing some cute funny animal videos. A message popped up. It wasn't from Cathy. When i opened the chatbox, i found it to be Hannah. She sent me, "Are you awake?" I replied, "In bed, going to sleep." She texted back, "We're in front of your house. Come out." "Why?" "Come and see for yourself." I sighed and stood up from the window. I changed my outfit and came downstairs. I saw my dad and mom in the living room. "Hannah's waiting for me outside the house." And

"I want a favour from you.""Go on.""This is a pretty secret mission.""How much?""Andrew shouldn't know about this. And, Anna too. I know you're close with Anna but she's excluded too." "You sound like we're going to do something serious.""Yup! It's something like that.""I don't know why but it's exciting. Okay, what do you want me to do?""To give you this assignment you should know what it is about, otherwise you can't do this truthfully."She leaned towards me and whispered, "Are we going to murder someone?" "No! Listen to me. First of all, answer this question. Do you know that Anna is in a relationship?" She nodded while taking a sip from the smoothie."Do you know who that is?"She shook her head and said, "She'll tell me when the time comes. Why?""I can't wait until she tells you.

"Why are you asking me like that?""Hannah told me everything.""Then, why are you asking me?" "Let me in." He walked inside the room and closed the door behind him.

At house, As soon as I entered the house, I went straight to the storage room. I turned on the lights and started to search rack by rack to find something related to my parents. There were so many boxes arranged on the racks. Inside the boxes, there were waste things, used up appliances. Why don't they throw away the unwanted things? Why are they stacking up these here? It's difficult to search since there were so many things and I was confused about what I was searching for. When I stood up, I hit some boxes and everything fell out of the box on the floor. Sh*t! I squatted down and started picking up the things which I dropped, and I found pictures of my mom's school. I took one by one and saw those pictures. Why did she put her school photographs in these boxes? Doesn't she have to keep this stuff in a safer place? While I was picking the pictures, I came across a picture which confused me. My mom was with some girl, whose face looked familiar to me. I took the picture with me a
