I was in the practising room with Hinn’s friends who he had introduced me to, Lukas and Nicholas, Lukas was good at playing the drums and Nicholas was good at playing the guitar, they had helped me create a spotlight the day I sang at the daily bar, they were good and I love that.
I was about to pick up my note when the practice room door flung open. I looked up to see Hinn walked in dejected as if his pride had been slapped.
“Hinn, why the long face?” Nicholas was the first to ask as Hinn sank into a chair next to the window, Lukas who seemed curious stopped playing the drum to hear Hinn out.
“Have I become so unpopular?” Hinn muttered and we were all bemused, for all I know Hinn was a very popular guy in this school and his team as well, they
Kate ran over to me outside the daily bar. Tonight Hinn was performing and we decided to watch the show. It was Kate who persuaded me to come this time. She heard that Robin had joined the crew and she wanted to look at him all day since she hardly ran into him at school.“Ivana, you can’t believe who I ran into a few minutes ago,” Kate told me as I took her guitar from her, she had just arrived from practice and I can tell how tired she looks by holding this for that long.“Preshy,” I said in one go.“How do you know?” Kate looked at me with wide eyes and I grinned.“He is the only one who would make you so worn out like this,” I told her as we walked into the d
The door of the practice room sung open and shut again as I looked up to see Ivana banging the closed door like a dumb nutcase, my eyes darkened as she turns around, her stupid friend must have left and she had the dumbest look on her face as she stares at the eyes that were staring back at her in shock.I scoffed, was she expecting to see females in here, wasn’t she here because she heard Hinn Carlos and the other guys were here and they look so hot, she is just too dumb.I locked eyes with her and her brow snapped, mine was even worse and she had no choice but to look away from me. “I’m sorry, I will leave now.” She held the doorknob to leave and I was about to get pleased when I heard Nicholas' voice.“Are you Ivana Kimbuersy?” I looked
I picked up my guitar to block my attention from them, I could tell Ivana was still glaring at me, that was all she could do, if she was done then she should gently leave this practice room and try not to ever return.I started playing random melodies with my guitar and to my very own surprise Ivana began to sing to the beat of my instrument, I first paused in shock that the melody she sang matched the beat so well that anyone could say it was the actual beat of the music.I turned my eyes to look at her and she too paused and everyone in the room looked at her bewildered, she wiggled her brow and smirked. Now she wants to brag, I will give her something to brag about.I started playing again, but this time a complicated ton, but I was shocked she also broke through and matc
“Ivana.” I heard a deep voice call out as whoever put down their tray of food on the table I sat at the cafeteria and joined me across the table. I looked up to see Hinn smiling at me with his eyes twinkling like the stars and his chin leaning on his hands, he was damn too handsome.“Hi,” I said shyly and tuck my hair behind my ears to show off my rosy cheek and dimples as I cutely smiled at him.“Finally we are having lunch together.” He voiced out and put a spoon of rice in his mouth. Hinn had invited me for lunch after I sang at their practice room but I turned him down with an excuse that I had other things to do.It wasn’t as if I didn’t want to eat with him, but just as I wanted to look perfect and ladylike in his presenc
I held Katherine’s hands and looked up in her face with a smirk, she had been singing all this while and truly she lacks emotions in her music, she was just a robot when she sings, she has a nice voice, but her music would never touch any soul, Hinn Carlos was wrong, Katherine was only good in dancing, not music.“Have you sold your emotions and feelings?” I asked her and she glared at me. “You just can’t sing, there is no meaning in your lyrics and I feel like I am wasting my time here.” I left her hands and turn to go take my bag so I can leave this place,Katherine rushed over to my front and looked at my face. “I can try, that is the reason you are here to teach me.” She gazed into my eyes with pleading eyes.“G
Two weeks had passed and Ivana seemed to have gotten so close to Hinn Carlos, she always came to the practice room and would play and practice with Hinn. She was foolish not to realize she was leading him on. I didn’t want to bother, I just loved being entertained by her stupidity.Katherine was always on my tail, she didn’t want to give up, her words were always, I get whatever I want, but I will only watch her cry at the end, love was not my thing.I sang at the daily bar and grasped many attention and admirers, the whole school almost knew my name and it was just a headache for me to deal with tons of ladies trying to get my attention, not a day goes by that I didn’t receive love letters from one lady or another.I had just opened my locker and a letter
I got home and saw Ivana watching a movie in the sitting room like everything seemed normal to her, first, she kissed a guy, then turned the same guy down and now she was acting like a princess in this mansion, how dramatic.“Welcome, Robin.” She waved at me with a smile, but I scorned and turned to walk upstairs. “He is a snub anyway.” I heard her mutter but ignored her. All I want to do is stay away from her as far as possible, a person like her could be dangerous to one's emotions.I took my bath, dressed in comfortable shorts and a white top before coming downstairs. I took some cheese and drink from the fridge and settled down on one of the sofas, going through my phone while I ate.“Can I have some?” I heard Ivana’s voice and l
I walked out of that assembly hall with Kate, there were no classes today, it was rather a free day since the audition is tomorrow.“How are you preparing for the audition?” Kate, who seemed happier than I do, asked me as she skipped even while carrying that heavy instrument, she must have gotten used to the weight by now.“Very well,” Hinn Carlos had taught me very well although I feel bad in rejecting his proposal, I like Hinn Carlos, but not in the way he wants me to, and I didn’t want to go into something I would regret, I had waited to see if I would regret rejecting him, but I couldn’t feel that way.I haven’t told Kate about it, if I tell her she would also call me silly and start working up her brain for some nasty ideas to b
I had wanted her to leave but not with this condition, now I was worried sick, how was her father? Was he alright? Was he going to be alright? And my mother was not yet back, it was already late at night and I don’t think she would make it back home today. The mansion suddenly felt so big, bigger than it is and quiet, it was no longer lively as it was when my mother and Ivana were here. I spaced around the balcony upstairs staring into the dead of the night, or the mansion was a bit far from some residence building. I had loved it this way, but now it is so quiet that I wish for the noise. I had seen Ivana’s tears when my mother told her the news, it was quite disturbing. Has she stopped crying? I ran my hand through my hair. I needed to get her sad face off my head, but I couldn’t. I took out my phone and scroll
I just looked outside the window, my heart had suddenly begun to play tricks on me. I wondered what had come over Robin, why he had acted like he did just a few minutes ago and I wish we would get home immediately so that I can leave this car and not feel the heat I felt right now.I couldn't look at his face, I didn't want to and what more, he was driving slowly, the way home was still far and I didn't want to speak to him, not anymore and I was glad he didn't speak to me either.I could still feel the light brush of his lips, if I hadn't covered my lips in time then he would have deepened the kiss, he was too mean, teasing me that way.I hate him, I truly hate him!We arrived at the mansion and without hesitation
“Ivana,” I called out her name and stretched my hand to touch her shoulder, but her cold gaze made me withdraw my hands. “Are you okay?” I asked her and she didn’t respond. “About what you saw at the practice room…”“Move,” She cuts me off coldly. “I have other things to do.” She turned to walk away but I held her back. “Let go of me.” I have searched for her for quite a long time to let her go just like this.“My mother needs you back home immediately,” Ivana looked up at me like I was telling another one of my lies, I know I had told her that I have no relationship with Katherine, but she had witnessed something that would make her believe more in it, so there was nothing I could say that would make her believe me and I was no longer re
“Just leave Katherine, I have to practice, I will be up next,” I told Katherine as I took out my guitar, I looked at it and could remember watching Ivana play, she was good at this, the way she handles the guitar was as though she was a professional, has she learnt from someone?“You didn’t come to watch me sing.” I heard the nosy voice of Katherine and looked up in anger, this girl was one hell of a nuisance and here I was thinking that this practice room would be quiet and calm. “Tell me, why didn’t you show up on time when you knew I would be performing second place?”I scoffed. “Do you think you are a celebrity because you are called a dancing machine by this whole school, or do you think everyone would want to watch you display one of those unemotional moves? Wake up gi
To my surprise, he handed me his guitar and I looked at it and glanced up at him with big eyes. “Go on in and do your best.” He flashed me a smile before letting go of my hands.“I will.” I nodded at Hinn who was smiling at me and I followed him over to the audition hall and ran into the hall climbing up on the stage and I saw Kate who seemed to have been buying time for me smile and I grinned back before turning my eyes to the judges and the handsome director.“I am Ivana Kimbuersy.” I introduced myself as I bowed and my eyes met that of the director and he looked down at his file and then back to me.“I am sorry to say this but you have just missed your chance.” He told me and looked over at the door. “Next.” He c
I paced around my room listening to some music tracks I happened to find, I was still deciding on what to sing, it was absurd that I hadn't gotten a song and it was the audition day today. Kate had called me earlier today and told me she was changing her music, she said she wouldn’t be singing any love song for Robin, that she was finally stopping her one-sided love.I was already dressed in a blue dress, I let my hair fall down my shoulders and applied light makeup. I was ready for this audition, but there was no song to sing. Kate had promised to lend me her guitar since I would be performing first before her.I had practised some tunes with her guitar and had written a lot of songs with it, but now all seems to be falling apart as Robin had said. I was sure Katherine was not making this tough decision as I was right now.
I walked out of an empty practice room, the whole school looked deserted, it was also late at night, tomorrow was the audition and I had gotten carried away by practice and didn’t know that it had gotten this late.Kate had left early to her tutor’s place and I was left alone again just as before. I clenched hold of my bag and hurried down the stairs, taking a short route to the exit. I had thought a lot of people would also stay over to practice but it seems everyone got tired and left.The cold night air blew its gentle breeze on my face and It felt flushed. I glanced over my shoulder just to make sure I was safe. I didn’t know if I would find a bus, but I held enough money to board a taxi so I was not a bit worried.I exhaled softly before putting on my
I walked down the hallway with Hinn Carlos, Nicholas and Lukas and they were engaging in an argument that I was less interested in. It was about a lady Nicholas has finally fallen in love with, but we all know that this was just a love that will last for a day or two.I was walking behind them when I saw Ivana coming this way, she was holding her handbag over her shoulder while shaking her head, her lips were moving and her brows were furrowed which meant one thing. She was ridiculing someone in her head.I scoffed, she was exactly like someone who is mental and needs to be urgently treated.“Ivana wait up,” Hinn called out and rushed over to her. I rolled my eyes, could these two people ever stop showing their affection to the whole school.
I walked out of that assembly hall with Kate, there were no classes today, it was rather a free day since the audition is tomorrow.“How are you preparing for the audition?” Kate, who seemed happier than I do, asked me as she skipped even while carrying that heavy instrument, she must have gotten used to the weight by now.“Very well,” Hinn Carlos had taught me very well although I feel bad in rejecting his proposal, I like Hinn Carlos, but not in the way he wants me to, and I didn’t want to go into something I would regret, I had waited to see if I would regret rejecting him, but I couldn’t feel that way.I haven’t told Kate about it, if I tell her she would also call me silly and start working up her brain for some nasty ideas to b
