Michael's P.O.V.
I glanced at Stella who was standing beside me. And, like me, she was trying to listen as my mum and dad spoke on the other room.
I can barely hear what they were talking about but I'm pretty sure this is it. Anytime now I'm sure I will be summoned inside and would have the answer to my desires to play music.
And I'm hoping its a good news.
My phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out, reading the new messages that came from our group chat.
Breadstick (7:16am): Its all set! Today will be the last day I'm going to school. I'll start packing tomorrow.
Dey dey (7:17am): Wtf did you do?!
Breadstick (7:18am): Haha chill your nuts, babe. We'll be dropping out of school anytime now. I figured I'd say mine today. Ms. Sue wouldn't let me go but I used my manly appeal.
Twin :) (7:20am): Pardon? What manly appeal are you talking about, Lukey? You're my baby boy.
Breadstick (7:21am): Dear Calum, if you're ever reading this, please know that she called me baby boy and I am not using my seducing skills on her. She has her own will.
Breadstick (7:22am): Well, I guess, I'm pretty irresistible though.
Twin :) (7:23am): No, thank you. :p
SmAsh (7:24am): Where's Calum by the way?
Twin :) (7:24am): Brazil?
SmAsh (7:25am): Peach. Thanks for reminding me, boo.
Twin :) (7:26am): You're welcome. :)
SmAsh (7:26am): I've resigned in KFC today and now heading to school to talk to the principal.
Twin :) (7:27am): Will you still accompany me later after school?
SmAsh (7:28am): Yeah. I'll pick you up. Hope it goes well.
Curious as to where they were going, I typed in furiously.
Me (7:29am): Where you going?
SmAsh (7:30am): Somewhere. ;)
Twin :) (7:31am): How about you, Mikey? You good to go?
And as if on cue, I heard my dad calling out my name.
"Michael!" He called. "Come in here!"
Me (7:33am): Just about to know now. I'll see you guys later.
I tucked in my phone and glanced at Stella.
"Here goes," I muttered, breathing out.
"Good luck," she said, patting me in the shoulder.
I nervously chuckled, as I pushed the door open. I looked from dad to mum.
"Sit, son," she said. Her voice was firm, something I'm guessing is not a good sign at all. Maybe it didn't go well.
"Okay," I said slowly. I decided to sit beside dad. You know, just in case.
"Do you really wanna go and play?" She started. I looked at her and nodded.
She paused for a few seconds until she sighed.
"What about school?" She continued.
"I know, mum," I said. "But I really wanna do this and school is something I need to sacrifice."
"Okay," she simply said. "You can go, I guess."
"I'm so sorry, mum," I continued. "I'm... wait, what? Okay? Did you? Really? You're okay with it?"
She smirked. "Do you want me to take it back?"
"No, no, no," I chirped. "Don't. Please don't. Thanks, mum!"
"Now, I would have to remind you that if that didn't work, music won't get you a proper job," she reminded. "School is important."
"I know, mum," I repeated. "But I won't fail both you and dad. We'll make it out there!"
"Well," dad spoke for the first time since I came in. "Better go now and do what you have to do."
"Thanks again," I said, standing up and heading off.
"Say my regards to Sue and Chloe when you talk to her," mum called.
"I will," I said. "Bye!"
I took out my phone immediately as I walked out. Stella was following me closely behind.
"How'd it go?" She asked.
I just smiled at her as I pushed the sent button.
Me (7:45am): I wanna see Ms. Sue's reaction when I drop out. I'm in! ;)
