SOZY Musical School

The students of the school were boisterous. Seniors running up to catch up with the plan of the day since the school just resumed. Practice here and there, lectures and seminars been held.

"I need everyone out here now." Principal Moss called out into the mic.

The students of the school nicknamed Principal Moss 'Supressing X' because she is a woman who doesn't smile although no one knows why she doesn't smile.

Everyone assembled downstair on the field and took various positions to line up according to their musical classes and groups.

There were five classes with three groups in each classes so there would be fifteen lines but there are twelve lines now because the first class students weren't present.

"Good morning my lovely students." Principal Moss said.

"Good morning Principal Moss." The students all greeted looking towards Principal Moss who had new students beside her.

Principal Moss took up her eyeglass which do make her look older than she is.

She wears her eyeglass after dusting the lense and adjusts it on her face.

She takes hold of a book to read the important notice,

"For this new school session, we will be having new set of rules added to the rules of the school." She says.

The students starts murmuring not being pleased with the addition of rules to the old rules of the school.

Principal Moss place the book in her hand on the table beside her and adjusts her eyeglass.

She clears her throat,

"Dear students of Sozy Musical school, it is a pleasure to welcome you all back from the just completed break." She paused to look at her surrounding then continued, "Before I state out the new rules to you all, I would like to introduce you to our new school mates and students." She said which made all the students clap.

"Here is Abigail, she would be in class B." Principal Moss said bringing a girl to the front and the teacher of Class B walks up to take Abigail.

Principal Moss looked around again to observe her surrounding.

All the students kept quiet immediately because you do not talk when Principal Moss is onstage because that would attract punishment.

"Here are Henry, Jasmine, Charlotte, Michael, Nana, Sophia, Raphael, Zoey, Susan and Kamela who are going to be our current class A students." Principal Moss said and everyone clapped.

Class A teacher walk up boldly to take his new students.

Principal Moss continued after taking a good look at her surrounding, " Finally here are Adrian and Adriana who are to be in class C."

Everyone clapped for the new students.

Principal Moss took the book she wrote the new rules in and looked around before giving the new rules.

After giving the rules, Principal Moss left to her office and everyone retreated to their various classes.

You may wonder why there aren't any new students in class D and class E. There aren't new students in these two classes because these classes are called Finalist classes as one could either graduate from Class D or Class E and the school do not accept new students as finalists.

Oh, I think I need to introduce myself.

My name is Randy. I am a beautiful girl with black hair. I am in class C so I would be mate with the twin; Adrian and Adriana.

Many of the school past seniors who graduated from the school are now working in musical industries, some play in musical bands, some are entertainers while some have gone ahead in furthering their education in university as music student.

I would like to further my education when I also graduate from this school.

Okay right now I need to get to my class.

.....

In the class, Mr. Brown our class teacher sits on his chair watching as we all troop into the class.

He has Adrian and Adriana by his side.

He stands up then clears his throat,

"Alright class do have your sit." He orders and we all sit in our respective seats.

"I would like all of you to separate into your various groups." He says and looks around as the students of the class forms three group.

"I would also like each group leader to step out to make an introduction of their respective group to us." Mr. Brown said pointing to the class with Adrian and Adriana.

One would know that he meant only the twin.

The three group leader stepped out and they introduced their various groups.

Adriana fixed her gaze on Micheal, my group leader who seems to be my crush.

Who won't have a crush on Micheal, with his cute face and dimples. Micheal was the crush of almost every girl in that class but Micheal didn't give any girl his attention.

After the introduction, our class teacher asked them to choose their desired group.

Adrian chose group I while Adriana chose group II which is my group. I am sure she chose my group because of Micheal my group leader as she kept smiling while he was giving his welcome speech to the group.

Adriana is a beautiful girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, she also has sexy lip. Her brother Adrian is an handsome boy who also has blue eyeball.

"Randy, what do you have to say about it?." Micheal, my group leader asked interrupting me from my thought.

"Hmmmm." I said and they all laughed guessing that I wasn't listening.

Adriana sat beside Micheal as that has been the usual in the group. A new girl who likes Micheal would sit next to him trying to gain his attention.

"Randy, I asked if you have any thing to say about musical scale." Micheal said and I picked up my guitar and begin to explain the musical scale on my guitar.

"Wow, Wonderful Randy, Wonderful." Micheal said clapping for me as I end my speech.

Micheal went on discussing about various things we've learnt during the past session.

Adriana kept looking into his eyes trying to get his attention just as some past new girl have done.

Music buzzing everywhere, sounds of instrument everywhere and drums rolling everywhere could be heard.

In my class before the start of the day, arrangements were being made.

"Randy, over here." I can hear Samantha my best friend call me. I turned to look around only to see her with a smile on her face.

You could know that Samantha was up to no good. I walked up to Samantha.

"Good morning Samantha."

"Good morning Randy."

We greeted each other.

"What's up today, Sammie?." I asked Samantha shortening her name.

"Oh my gosh." She said with a scream that could distract everyone in the class.

"Sammie, Sammie." I call out pulling her to a corner.

After pulling her to a corner, she let out a grin and hugged me.

"Okay Sammie, you are choking me." I said when her grip on me became tight.

"Sorry Randy." Samantha says losing her grip on me.

I adjusted the collar of my shirt.

"Okay Samantha what's making you happy?." I asked Samantha who keeps blushing.

"Sammie." I called out.

Samantha looked at me then cupped my face.

"Randy do you know..." She paused and looked at her shoes with a smile on her face.

"Know what Sammie?, Tell me, I am losing my patience." I say Jolting her out of her thought.

"Michael accepted to sing the gig with me." She said smiling.

I don't know when I start screaming been happy for Samantha. My scream was interrupted by a black boy who tapped my shoulder.

"Randy, good morning." The boy says.

The boy is an half cast, his mother is from Africa while his father is from America. He has a twin sister who looks like him.

His twin sister plays the trumpet in her group while he plays the keyboard in our group although in Sozy Musical school you are been taught how to play all musical instrument.

The black boy interrupts my thought.

"Randy, I said good morning."

"Oh..., hi...., Good morning Daniel." I stammer while replying him.

Daniel probably has a crush on me or so because he usually takes a quick glance at me during his free time but as I said almost all girls in my group had a crush on Micheal which includes me.

"Are you listening to what I am saying?" Daniel ask me.

Oh damn me, I think most time.

"Oh, no probably." I said replying Daniel.

Daniel let out a smirk on his lip.

I look at him with a smile.

"At your thought again." Daniel says and I simply nod my head.

"Oh I see." Daniel says trying to hide his smile.

Samantha had left the place.

"So what were you saying?" I asked Daniel.

"Our group leader, Micheal, paired us together." He says.

"What!" I exclaim out of shock.

"I am a bad singer." I say.

Daniel smiles holding his Jaw.

"So you won't like to participate?" He asks still holding his jaw.

"No Daniel, that's not what I mean." I say trying to defend myself when his twin sister Daniella comes over.

"Danny." She taps his shoulder.

Daniel looks back to see his sister then smiles and leave with her.

"That was so close." I say to myself sighing.

I leave the class to look for Samantha.

Walking around the school felt like walking a day's journey for the school was so long.

There I can see Samantha in the football field sitted on a chair and watching Micheal play football with some guys.

I go over to have my sit beside Samantha who is lost in thought as she watch Micheal play.

I sit beside her placing my right hand on her shoulder jolting her from her thought.

"Oh Randy." Samantha jumps from where she is sitted and sits back noticing me.

"Isn't he cute?" She asks.

"He is." I reply her smiling.

Samantha smiles then returns her focus to Micheal.

"You have Micheal to yourself this period. You gonna have a nice time." I say placing my hand on her head.

Samantha keeps smiling without looking at me.

"Oh!, you are here." I hear a voice say to me then I turn back to see Daniel smiling.

"Oh Daniel you are here." I stand up to leave with Daniel.

"Bye Samantha."

"Bye Randy." Samantha replies without turning to look at me.

"Would you like to go get ice cream?" Daniel asks looking at me.

"Yes." I reply without thinking.

Almost everyone in my class knows that I love ice cream. You can bribe me into doing something just by giving me ice cream.

We kept walking along the way with Daniel's hand in his pocket.

"You like him right?" Daniel asks with sincerity.

"Who?" I stop walking and ask.

"Micheal." Daniel says.

"That's a hard question." I say.

"Answer the question."

"Yes, but it's just a crush."

Daniel holds my two hands and looks into my eyes.

"Can you see anything aside him when you are near him ?" Daniel asks but I have no answer to that question.

"Just look at me." He says and I look at him.

"Every girl in our group likes Micheal and trys to gain his attention." He pauses, "Some feel sad while some still are trying to gain his attention."

"Hmmmm." I could only say.

"Can't you see anyone apart from Micheal?"He asks.

"Daniel, I...." I am saying.

"Can't you see when anyother person likes you?" He asks and I look at him.

"What do you mean, Daniel." I ask him with curiosity.

"I like you Randy, I like you." Daniel says releasing my hands.

He turns and begins to move away.

"What about the ice cream, Daniel?" I ask and he turns to face me.

He holds my hand and takes to the mini ice cream shop in the school. He buys my favorite flavor of ice cream for me and buys meat pie for himself.

I look at him then pull him by the hand to a corner.

"I only do have a crush on Micheal, oh my gosh, I don't understand."

Daniel looks at me angrily.

I hold Daniel's hand.

Daniel is quite taller than me so I have to look up to meet with his face.

"I like you Daniel. I have always wanted to be your friend." I say to Daniel.

Daniel surprisingly looks at me.

"I was happy when I heard we are going to sing together but became sad when I remembered that I am a bad singer." I say taking my hands off Daniel's.

"Can we be friends, Daniel?" I ask stretching my hand out to Daniel for an handshake.

Without hesitation Daniel says, "Yes we can." He took my handshake.

I smile with satisfaction knowing that Daniel is now my friend.

We take our ice cream and meat pie and devour them.

We leave to our class before the bell rings for end of the free period. We meet Daniella in the class and she waves towards us.

Daniel walks up to his sister to take his seat as they are seat partners during class period.

The bell rings and all students run into the class.

Mr. Brown comes into the class and sits on the teachers chair.

"Good morning class." He says.

"Good morning, Mr. Brown." We all reply his greeting.

"I want all the singing partners to sit together." Mr. Brown says.

Samantha stands up from beside me and goes to take her sit near Micheal whose seat partner wasn't singing.

Daniel comes to take his sit with me.

Everyother singing partners sit beside themselves and Mr. Brown sends the remaining people to an empty room in the class.

Daniel bades his sister who is not part of the singing team but is part of the instrumentalist.

"Now I would call you partners one after the other to come out singing 'Take me to the dance.' to us. Mr. Brown says and I start to shiver.

Daniel looks at me with an encouraging eye.

"I would take the lead so you don't need to be afraid." Daniel says to me and I simply nod my head.

"First on the list is Michael and Samantha." Mr. Brown say and Micheal and Samantha step out. I pray that Samantha won't fail Micheal.

They sit out loud,

"When darkness's all around the dance floor,

And I hold on to you,

Just take me to the dance,

Take me to the dance.

Take me to the dance.

I say take me to the dance..."

They kept singing and at last end with everyone dancing and clapping.

Four more partners were called out and they sing very well.

Finally, it is my turn with Daniel's to sing.

We sing out loud and I sing with no fear. Daniel really took the lead covering up my floors when my voice hang.

They all clap for us.

The ten partners left also sing and it is awesome.

Principal Moss enters our class clapping her hands to

"You all have done great." She says.

She sings the song "Take me to the dance." in her own way and she really got a nice voice I would say.

We all clap for her and she gives us her weird smile.

Principal Moss says some words and leaves the class after saying a few things about the forthcoming competition.

"As you all heard what Principal Moss said, we are to pick some students who would be able to stand for this school in the music competition between SOZY Musical school and Danad musical school." Mr. Brown says and we all clap.

"The competition would be coming up next month." I say placing my hand on my chest.

Daniel looks at me with a smile on his face,

"You don't have to worry Randy, you can do it." He says to me with a grin on his face.

"There are sixteen partners here and only five partners would be given the chance to join the competition." I say looking at Daniel who keeps smiling.

"Do you still think we would make it to the competition?" I ask Daniel who simply nods his head.

We can do it Randy, we are going to make it to the competition." He says to me and I look at him.

"How?" I ask then continue, "Would you continue covering for me?" I ask shaking my head.

Daniel smiles, faces me and say,

"Randy, we would make it. You just need to practice more." He pause then looks at me.

"We still have six weeks to the competition. We have three weeks left in this month and the competition would be held last week of next month." He continues, "All I need is for you to have faith for you are going to practice with me."

"With you?" I ask.

"Yes Randy with me." He wink at me.

"Wow." I say.

"We are going to practice for two weeks on your voice and on how you can hold your breath for long." He says which made me smile.

"Okay Daniel." I say stretching out my hand for a handshake with him.

After Mr. Brown leave the class, we all start singing.

The students who had left the class came in.

Daniel sees his sister from afar and take me along with him to meet his sister.

After explaining all to his sister, Daniella held me.

"Randy, you can do it. You have me and my brother on your side. I sing marvelously so does my brother." She pause to know if I am listening. "Without one week you would learn how to sing better." She smiles looking at her brother who nod his head.

"Randy would you like to join us this weekend at our sport lunch?" Daniella ask.

"I would like to join." I reply nodding my head.

"Great, that's it." Daniella say jumping.

"We would start training you by tomorrow." Daniel says and I nod. "I think we should go to join our group mate."

Daniel bades Daniella and leaves with me.

"No crushing on a guy who doesn't like you." Daniel whispers into my hear and I laugh knowing that he meant Micheal.

We reached our group room and met a terrible situation.

Adriana was pulling Samantha's hair.

"You think you can steal my Micheal?!" Adriana shouts.

"Please leave my hair." Samantha pleads with screaming.
