at break, aether stands out of the door of the music studio, still humming his notes to get some last minute practice.
" come in "
aether walked into a music studio. he glanced around the room. he saw a boy wearing a really cute bucket hat with braid that is green on the tip sitting in the middle. he recgnoize him from the poster he saw yesterday. beside him there is a blonde women in her 20s and two other boys that is the same age as him. one of the boys had the excat hair colour as the boy with the braid. they are probably brothers.
" uh... everyone is so bad so far. " the boy with the braid groaned.
" name? grade? " asked the middle age blonde women.
" aether, grade eleven "
" ok, you may start the presentation now "
aether walks to the staduim. he took a deep breath, and he started singing.
" whenever a light breeze start to rustle through your hair, knowing that's me thinking of you everywhere.... "
...
the boy with the braid clapped his hand and beamed at aether. the white red hair boy smiled at aether too, even the boy with the cold expression showed a little hint of smile. they all seemed pretty impressed.
" wow, thats really good! did you write the song your self? " asked the boy with the braid.
aether nodded.
" you may go now, the result will be in by this afternoon " the blonde women said.
