Nino's POV
After many classes, the first day of school is finally over.
This turned into two days, three days until a full week flew by quickly.
It was a great thing, and it was as not only did I have new friends that respect me and have brain cells, but I actually learned new things in this school, not like in my old one.
I am going right now to the music studio room as my new friends told me to meet up there. I usually go there every day after school to meet up with them and we have fun there.
This studio looks like the ones that the professional music industries have.
I walked around until I heard someone... crying?
That was when I noticed Chelsea crying in the corner of the room, curled up into a ball, and tears running out from her eyes. It was then she noticed me.
"Oh sh- sugar. Nino, you came quick!" She wiped her tears from her face. "Oh, please don't mind me, I... hurt my desk, I mean I hurt myself at the desk, no jeez, I hurt my toe because of the desk my foot, oh ma gawd..."
"Chelsea." I caught her attention from her stuttering random words. "Are you ok?"
She looked at me before she started crying again. "No, I am not."
She gave me an unexpected hug and put her head on my shoulder.
I won't brush her off like that, so I hug her back. She does remind me of Rose.
Maybe by look but her personality is like Marinette's.
She stopped hugging me quickly. "Oh sorry. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."
"I am fine. Want to talk about why you are sad? If you don't want to, it is fine." She smiled because of that and also because I gave her a tissue to wipe her tears.
"Well... it is just that I am feeling stressed lately." She took a deep breath before she continued.
"I... I wanted to leave the Star Effect team. It is not that I hate it and all. I wanted to start working on my dream career. I love them. They are like my family. I just don't know how to tell them, especially my girlfriend."
"Wait a sec..."
"Yes. Anna and I are dating. She was the one who asked me."
"Okay, Congrats. But Chelsea, if they are your true friends and girlfriend, they should respect that and let you do your thing."
"But it is hard to do so. What if they will be mad at me and won't talk to me anymore..."
"I felt the same when I told my friends that I am leaving them. They were sad about it, but we are still friends, and do you know why?" She shrugged at that.
"It is because they are my true friends. It is terrifying to tell them that you are leaving them, but they will stay with you if they love you."
I think that she is processing through, but I guess that she gets the point. "Thank you, Nino. You are the best Lost DJ I ever met."
What is with that nickname?? SELENA!!!
"Anyway. Do you sing?" She pointed at the small room with a big window and a mic.
"I... I don't think I have a good voice."
"I shared with you my feelings. You can trust me with your singing." She gave me puppy eyes.
"Alright. Once." I went inside and put on my earphones. She prepared audio adjustments and other stuff like that.
"Choose a song."
"Umm... how about 'Perfect Strangers'?" With that, she prepared the instrumental version of this song. Okay. No pressure. This is just for fun.
Song: Perfect Strangers by Jonas Blue
That was when Anna appeared out of nowhere and started playing on marimba.
You were looking at me like you wanted to stay
When I saw you yesterday
I'm not wasting your time, I'm not playing no games
I see you
Who knows the secret tomorrow will hold?
We don't really need to know
Cause you're here with me now, I don't want you to go
You're here with me now, I don't want you to go
Now I noticed that Anna is playing on the piano.
Maybe we're perfect strangers
Maybe it's not forever
Maybe the night will change us
Maybe we'll stay together
Maybe we'll walk away
Maybe we'll realize
We're only human
Maybe we don't need no reason
Maybe we're perfect strangers
Maybe it's not forever
Maybe the night will change us
Maybe we'll stay together
Maybe we'll walk away
Maybe we'll realize
We're only human
Maybe we don't need no reason
Why
That was when Anna started playing on her trumpet.
I guess she is multitalented after all.
Come on, come on, come over
Maybe we don't need no reason why
Come on, come on, come over
It was when I noticed that everyone who was supposed to meet up in the studio, is there.
Mochi is recording this while Kate helped Trevor when he passed out from shock, I guess.
I fell down onto the floor because of that.
"Umm... yeah the mic is working, Chelsea. I guess they can start singing."
"Holy cow!!! That was awesome! Don't even dare to deny it because it was awesome!!" Rico was the first one to recover from the shock everyone has. Even Chelsea and Anna are in shock.
"T-thanks..." I felt embarrassed right now. I never expected anyone to hear me sing.
But I know that they know, so there is no way to get out of this.
That was until I noticed Selena at the door. It looks like she wants to cry but she wipes her tears off and runs off from there.
What happened that made her sad?
"Selena! Wait!" I got out of that small room, leaving others confused about what they witnessed today.
I took off after her and on time I caught up to her.
"Nino! Leave me alone!" She pushed me slightly. Her tears are falling from her face. "I don't want you to see me like this!"
"Look, I don't know what made you cry, but I am sorry if it is my fault." I ignored everyone looking at us.
"It isn't your fault! Leave me alone!" She left soon after, God knows where she went.
I stood there shocked, and I think that I am crying as well. The last time I cried like that was after Alya broke up with me. I couldn't cry about it at that moment because Mari was hurt at that time, but I did after this. I curled myself into the corner of my room and turned on some sad music, crying my heart out.
I felt empty that day and now I am feeling the same.
Was it my fault that Selena was crying?
"Man, are you ok?" I saw Trevor walking up with Mochi and Stuart toward me.
"I am going to my dorm. Please tell Kate to talk to Chelsea. She is having a hard time today."
I left soon after straight into my room locking it and looked at the images I have, including the one I have of me and Alya having ice cream.
I miss those old times, but they are gone.
So are the pics I just deleted off my phone.
