"You're late" Tj says as I enter the studio in his house.
"Yeah, I know, don't ask me why" I say and sit.
"Now that we're all here. Ruby, Matthew, please take the floor."
I move my seat forward and Matthew does the same so that we are facing the rest of them.
"Where's Naomi?" I ask, when I notice her absence.
"Right now her new boyfriend is more important." Seyi answers.
"New boyfriend? I didn't know she was one for relationships."
"Why"
"I don't know, she seems so different."
"Enough about her love life, can we please get back to rehearsing?"
I roll my eyes.
"If you keep doing that so often, its likely they roll out one of these days."
Another eye roll.
"Just start." Tj says tiredly.
Handling a group like us is definitely not an easy task.

I just realized that Julie knows nothing about the competition and the band.
Or she wouldn't be telling me about an outing taking place on the same day.
"Ruby, serious, it will be nice."
"I can't go, Julie, I have something else to do that Saturday."
"Like what"
"Well, I have somewhere very important to be at"
"You didn't answer."
"Go without me, we'll go together some other time, okay"
She frowns and says. "Don't talk to me again" then walks away to the field.
"Love you" I call out.
"And I love you too"
I look up and see Tj getting settled on the grass beside me. I eye him questionably.
"No body was talking to you."
He shrugged and smiled.
"I know" I roll my eyes and look out to the field.
Today is sports friday and everyone is out here on the field, well, except the naughty ones.
"Why are you not playing football with them" I ask.
"I'm not a fan of football" I gasp.
"Seriously, who taught you to lie"
"I'm not joking"
"Wow, that's very rare." I let out a small laugh and shake my head.
"And why are you not with the other girls"
I look over at them. Different polo shirt colours with short skirts. They are all just talking. Probably gossiping.
Typical.
"No thanks, I just like to be alone, most of the time"
We sit in silence for a few minutes.
"So what's the deal with you and Matthew" He suddenly asks.
"Nothing, really, we're just neighbours, and our mothers were classmates."
I explain.
He nods.
