Old, but perhaps new faces?

Drew's POV

"Ah sheesh" I groaned

I sat there rubbing my head then looked at the person

She was a girl with beautiful and unique blue hair, I had never quite seen before. A man, about her age, ran up behind her. I then looked to the side at my best friend, or 'secretary' for this trip, Zoey.

She had an unreadable expression on her face, shock? Panic? Speechlessness? Recognition? I don't know, she's weird


Then I looked back at the girl, who had a similar expression.

"Hailey! Are you alright Sis?" The man caught up to his sister and his expression faded into almost the exact as his sister's. Both of them stared at me like they knew me or something, there was a fact I know for sure, I don't know them

"Um, hi? Not even a sorry?" I chuckled, trying to release the tension


Zoey then blinked a few times and helped me up, the others did the same
"Thanks, zo" I smiled at her as she gave me a nervous smile and continued staring at those two


The two were staring at both of us and started whispering to each other.

They looked at each other, then stared at me.


At this point I was getting quite uncomfortable, I look over to Zoey who kept looking away, unwilling to make eye contact. I waved at Zoey, sighing if she has anything to tell me. Zoey looked at me blankly, then looked away like she didn't see it

"What's wrong with you now? Why have you been so nervous today??" I asked demandingly Zoey, she was a little shocked, she opened her mouth to say something, then immediately closed it. She scratched her head and looked over to the siblings occasionally.

I signed and grimaced at her. Then I turned to the siblings and approached them. There was a little bit of distance between us since they kept backing away.

"Greetings, I'm Drew William, I own a couple of large companies. Perhaps you recognize me, or actually, maybe it's the fact that I'm also a professional violinist?" I introduced myself formally, for I didn't know if they were professional as well.

They looked at us awkwardly and they looked at each other whether to say something. I looked over to Zoey and she signalled to me that they were not officials or professionals. Finally, she did something useful for me today other than the performance.

I sighed again, defeated by the lack of answers from the two standing in front of me

"Have we met before? It seems like you know me, or my friend over there" I gestured at Zoey

Their jaw dropped as they stared at me, then at Zoey.

I started feeling uneasy, my hands started shaking and I had no pockets to put them in. I started sweating and the two must've noticed cause one of them gasped.

I felt a light touch on my shoulders, it was Zoey, of course, my emotional support, I'm extremely grateful for her. She tucked me behind her and took over the conversation.

"Hailey! Zander! Woww, it's been a while huh?" Zoey said and giggled lightly, I looked at her like she was crazy then looked at the other two. There is a fact I know, for the years I know Zoey, she's really red and is about to explode right now, no kidding-

The siblings gave each other a cringed look and looked back to Zoey. Tbh, that's a bit rude


I thought for a second,
"You know them?" I asked curiously

After hearing that, both of them were in absolute shock, like they'd seen ghosts


"Yeah! We went to high school together" Zoey forced a smile at Drew as Drew frowned

"High school?" He whispered to himself, then looked up at the two who looked nervous



"Oh! Highschool" I exclaimed as they glared at each other. 


I tried to explain to the two about my accident and how I got here

"Long story short, I woke up 5 years in a hospital, remembering nothing, not what happened, no nothing. Apparently, I got really ill and the illness damaged some part of my brain?"

I looked at Zoey, doubling check the information.
She just shrugged which didn't help at all
I gave her a glare then continued

"A random person came up to me and gave me a huge hug. I got defensive easily and tried to push her off. That's how I 'met' Zoey. I ran the company in France successfully and learnt the violin, Zoey kept me company the whole time, helping me meet new people! She didn't tell me too much about high school or when I was younger"

I paused

"which people were they?"

I peered over to Zoey
Zoey sighed

They were the music freaks.
