[Winter]

All throughout the day of that Tuesday classes, Xannia continued to avoid me, but at least, she seemed a little cheerful, because Sheya and Alexis are there with her.

Leaving our group wasn’t that bad, after all...

Yeah, it’s a little lonely not having them around during breaks, but I don’t really have any other choice for that...

After our classes, I went straight to the junior’s hallway and wait for Amethyst to get out of class, too.

Leaning against the wall of a classroom, I finally saw her walking on the hallway with her best friend, Meylie.

When she spotted me, I waved at her once and she smiled at me as they are approaching.

“Hi, how are you doing, Winter?” Meylie cheerfully asked.

“Good, I guess. How about you?”

She tittered, “So great, I could jump up with joy!”

That made me tilt my head a little, curious of why she’s feeling so great...

“I’m just so happy for Amey, because it looks like she’s learning to get along with someone other than me.” she explained.

“Meylie...” Amethyst called her name with kind of an awkward expression.

But as soon as Meylie tittered at her, the awkwardness on her face instantly disappeared, making me smile at them while they look at each other with bright faces.

These two really are close to each other...

“Anyway, can I come? I also want to support Amey with her audition...” she asked after a moment.

“Sure, Meylie.” I replied.

This audition will be the first step for Amethyst in fulfilling her dream... I hope she could pull it out...

“Great! Let’s go now, then!” she said with full of happiness, giving a lot of good vibes for all of us. She linked her arm with Amethyst’s and pulled her along with her.

And with that, we started going straight to the Academy’s front gate and from there, we rode a taxi cab to get to the City Hall...

I’ll just go back to the Academy later to get my bike...

~***~

After Amethyst filled out an application for the audition, the three of us are already standing and waiting at the backstage.

There, we saw another girl who’s holding a violin... So it’s probable that this little girl will compete with Amethyst in the upcoming contest.

A second later, a man called the little girl from the front stage for her to perform.

Looking back at Amethyst, I saw her holding her flute close to her chest and she took a deep breath.
