"WHAT?"

Walking felt close to impossible. My legs were sinking beneath me. I had to swallow the air , it felt thick and unsettling in my stomach. 'what the hell is happening to me'.

Lack of sleep made me turn to corpse state. I couldn't shake the fact that someone had been to my house, which meant the night before wasn't a coincidence. 'Now I'm being extremely paranoid'
I sigh as I felt completely insane.

"(Y/n).." I turned to face Samuel. The dude had the same sickening look as me but I'm sure for a different reason. "We need to talk...and we don't have time for later." I look around and then back at him, "Unfortunately I need to get to first period, I have an assignment today." I watched as frustration took over his features, then sunk in it.

"Fine. But I won't let you off second period." ..."I can't, I have an assignment to give in for arts."
"ARGGGGH! WHAT THE HELL!! When are you free then?" I take my time before answering , "I think I only have lunch...but i-"
"Great, then we'll talk at lunch! Be by the fields as soon as the bell sounds. I'll wait there!" Without getting a chance to question , he leaves for another class.

Yawning into music class, I grab the guitar at the back, not bothered to make conversation with anyone and wait patiently. As I'm seated I noticed that Cyrus wasn't in class.

"Morning (y/n)!" Noah greeted me and I couldn't help but force a nod. "Ready to rock and roll?" He sends a wink and raises his sticks up, I force a reaction..."You bet!"
I smuggle a smirk under the undeniable fact that this bastard is stealing my best friend. Which gave me the idea to question him about it.

"Noah , can i--"

Before I could complete it, Mr.James walks in , with Cyrus trailing behind. "Alright whose ready for our little concert? Now remember, you will be graded on how authentic and original your song is. If that is understood, let's start!"

I watched as Cyrus sat down in his place , he had a violin case on his desk. 'so he's playing the violin this time, I'm kinda curious , will it be as good as the piano?'

We were called one by one, thereafter it was Noah's turn. He rocked the drum set with a beat that I thought was oddly familiar... I tried hard to remember where I heard it before...

*Flashback (y/n)*

"Alright , alright!! I give uppp~"

i followed Samuel up the stairs. "Haha, you're such a loser!! You can't even get that right. It was Had Enough by Melina. C'mon (y/n) that was easy." Samuel says in a cool tone.

We were playing a game during a free period , he sang a song and I tried to guess it. He was really good at singing anything. "Okay, lemme try again! I'm sure I'll get it this time!" Determined because I hated being called a loser especially by him.

"Hmm...alright! But I bet you'd never get this one."
"Ha! Try me!"
"Alright , but it's not a complete song, its a beat!"

We sat on the benches outside on the courtyard. "Alright, I'm pretty good with beats!"
I watched and listened as he tapped his hands on the table and hummed a tune.

"So what ya think? Can ya guess it?" He looks up with a smug, after he'd finish. "Sam, did you make that up, there's no song with that beat!" Feeling like he tricked me , he started laughing.

"Yeah, it's not popular yet, but I heard it from someone and I really liked it." I looked at his faint blush and wide smile, 'maybe it's one of his favourite artists whom he has a crush on, pfftt.'

My eyes widened when Noah played the beat and the rest of the song. 'theyre closer than I thought, who am I to be jealous, Sam probably knew him before me...'
