Maestro-Slur

I gaped at him for awhile, I breathed and acted as cool as I could be, this was a huge change, he called me by my first name, he bought me coffee, he complimented me, he flirted with me (maybe not, I was clueless about his moves).

Me : Are you playing with me? (Geez, where did that courage come form?)
Apollo : I don't understand what do you mean? (he looked genuinely lost)

I shook my head, a rush of fear ran through my body. Please don't play with me! Please don't toy my feelings! I'm not that experienced!

Me : Can I ask another question?
Apollo : (amused) you are asking me a question Viola, (he paused and cleaned his full of cookie crumble mouth with his thumb) what is it?
Me : Are you always socially concealed?
Apollo: Yes, I like it that way, why?
Me : (oh!) just curious, you seemed to have a lot of fans though.
Apollo: Based on what evidence Ms. Hallman? (he leaned forward and placed both of his elbow on the table, crossing his fingers together, interviewing)
Me : Well (I gulped, and I sensed that he noticed my gulp, he smiled sweetly, acting innocent though he knew he was making me nervous) I noticed that every time you walk down the hall, lots of girls stare at you, but you rarely show yourself, and your name is foreign to lots of students. I just wondered why is that?
Apollo : Quite an observation you have there, Ms. Hallman.
Me : (I flushed, speechless)
Apollo : The answer to your question is because I like being concealed, I like to be alone and unknown. I am not a good people person so I remain silent and so far I enjoy it. I think you know how I feel about that. (he raised an eyebrow)
Me : Yeah, fame isn't my thing either. My mom and dad are famous for what they've done and fame is a privilege that I'm not quite fond of.
Apollo : Really? You're not fond of fame?
Me : I don't hate it,  but I don't love it either. It's just that i want to be recognized for something I did, not because of what my parents do or done.
Apollo :  I see ( he leaned back, crossing his arms this time and he looked surprised)
Me : What?
Apollo : Nothing (he shook his head) You surprised me that's all (he stared to my eyes intensely)
Me : Thank you, i guess. (I looked away to my coffee mug, holding it with both of my hands)
Apollo : What do you want to be recognized for?
Me : I don't know, anything. (Why are you so interested?) Probably related with music, or science. Whichever is fine.
Apollo : Science? (Interested)
Me : Astronomy (I admitted), I'd like to discover more about what's outside Earth, if that's possible.
Apollo : Anything is possible, Viola.
Me : How about you? (enough about me!)
Apollo : What I wanted to do?
Me : (I nodded)
Apollo : I don't know. I haven't got the inspiration. I used to dream of becoming an engineer or running a corporation or maybe ... (he paused, bothered by a memory)
Me : Used to? Not anymore? (trying to distract him)

He shook his head, his face was impassive. He seemed lost, how I wished that he was motivated. He turned his face and gazed through the window. He was thinking about something, I thought he was thinking about his past. I was feeling very awkward, he realized that I was uncomfortable with the silent, it was not the silence that bothered me really, it was more bothering for me to stare at him all the time. I just didn't want to make myself gaped at him in awe because of his physically attractive self.

Apollo : Why do you like to look down?
Me : (I wanted to stare at you, but I shouldn't) I was checking my phone ( I made an excuse)
Apollo : Your mother's looking for you?
Me : No, I was just checking for messages. (I smiled politely), it has been half an hour, don't you want to go home?
Apollo : and what? leave you alone? (he sounded like he was with me because it was "the gentleman thing to do")
Me : You don't have to stay if you don't want to (I said sourly)
Apollo : (smirked, amused) Are you telling me to go?
Me : No, I just don't want to keep you here when you have some other things to do, I"ll be fine.
Apollo : Why Miss Hallman, I like to keep you accompany, you mind?

I could not hide my smile, I shook my head, giving him a "No, I don't mind" shake. He was so kind and warm, he tried to make me comfortable, he was asking me questions, joking around, and we laughed together frequently.

Apollo : (his laugh was voluming down) So, what do you think of Mrs. Garcia?
Me : Oh! She's an amazing woman, but she teaches like the stream, she just don't stop to breath. She slurred all the way until the bell rings.
Apollo : She does!(he agreed) One time, she was so excited to teach us about vectors and she was explaining it thoroughly fast and without pause, at the end of the class, the class was eye-wide all gaping at her as she found herself breathing rapidly. (He laughed)
Me : (I giggled) She did?
Apollo : Yeah! She sat down all exhausted and said, "I need to sit down" (He gave me the school-boy grin)
Me : She is awesome though.
Apollo : She is. (agreeing)

We talked about teachers, friends, dreams, and lots of stuff. The conversation went on and on. We were laughing, and then all serious, then laughing again. Apollo was curious and a very good listener, I never felt so comfortable talking to someone else about my thoughts and opinions, but with Apollo, I felt free. Time flew so fast with him.

A white Mercedes-benz parked outside the window.

Me : That's my queue ( I grabbed my Tory Burch, stood up slowly)
Apollo : (He took a strap of his Oakley, stood up slowly, reflecting me) It was great chatting with you Ms. Hallman. (Guh! He was back to formality)
Me : hmm ( I smiled, agreeing) likewise. Thank you for the coffee.
Apollo : You're welcome (He led me to the door and opened it for me) After you.

I passed him and smiled.

Apollo : See you around, (He smiled, he fisted his knuckles, and aim at my shoulder, but he hastily cancel his intention and gave me his hand to shake)

I took his hand hesitantly and shook it formally. Even in the brief handshake Apollo's charm was all over me. His polite smile and his slightly rough man hand caress my unexperienced heart softly. I turned around and headed to the car and went inside. He watched me intensively until the car drove away.

Maestro-Volante

I went to the music room, trying to find peace, luckily the room was unoccupied and students were all busy, so I had the room for myself, and when I found peace, I opened my cello case and went through some music sheets. Lots to play, the  L'enfance du Christ title popped, I remembered mom wanted me to play this piece, but I was just not in the mood, i didn't want to. I shuffled the sheets and found Canon in D by Pachelbel, classic tune. It was the lightest sheets I had so I decided to play that tune. It was simple, elegant, romantic, and very much soothing. 

After awhile, I packed my cello, get out of music room and walked back to class. History was interesting, it was shocking but i was really motivated, i took notes and managed to listen to every detail Mr. Dolton said. I was startled when the bell rang loudly, time flew to fast. I grabbed my Tory Burch backpack and headed to the parking lot. I searched for Bruce, but he didn't showed, I searched for the white Mercedes-benz, No, it wasn't there.. I waited, I sat on the bench and gazed the parking lot, looking at cars that passed by, 5 minutes.. 10 minutes.. 15.. 20.. 25..30.. 


Me : Hey Bruce, where are you? 
Bruce : Miss Hallman, Mrs. Hallman appointed me to Brooklyn to get some paperwork signed, do you want me to pick you up now? 
Me : Brooklyn? 
Bruce : Yes Miss Hallman, Brooklyn. Do you want me to send Sam to you?
Me: Umm..(Sam was Dad's chauffeur and dad was always with Sam for a couple weeks since he was busy with concerts rehearsals) That's okay, I'll wait for you. Could you pick me up at the coffee shop across the school?
Bruce : Certainly, Miss Hallman, I'll be there as soon as possible
Me : Thanks Bruce. 

I hung up the phone, then suddenly a familiar low voice called from behind.

Apollo : Miss Hallman, you're still hear? (his voice was surprised) 
Me : Yeah (I was surprised myself, he bumped into me 3 times today) 
Apollo : You want a ride? I'd be happy to take you home.
Me : No thank you, I'm going to get myself some coffee.

he smiled and looked down, he was quiet and i realized he was waiting for my invitation

Me : Do you want to join me? (I asked valiantly) 
Apollo : (he gave me I-thought-you-never-ask stare and smiled, there was a brief pause and my heart skipped a beat) Of course (he said, finally!)

He walked beside me, saying nothing. It was agonizing, the silent made it very tense and awkward between us though he seemed to be absolutely oblivious about it. 

We entered the coffee shop, he opened the door and held it to let me in, I walked to the cashier and ordered one hot skinny mocha,

Me : What do you want to drink? 
Apollo : I'll have an iced expresso, and a chocolate chip cookie, please
Waiter: that'd be $16.40. 

Apollo handed $20 before I opened my wallet, I stare at him, it was ME who asked him to join ME for a cup of coffee, yet it was HIM who paid for both of us. 

Apollo : What? (he raised and eyebrow, puzzled by my expression) 
Me : I was supposed to treat you the coffee, not the opposite
Apollo : (he had this huge warm grin on his face, so gratifying) it's what gentleman do 

My heart was going to explode, why does little things he did was so... overwhelmingly impressive. i flushed and shook my head

Me: Thank you (i whisper) 
Apollo : You're very welcome 

I sat and stare through the window, Apollo joined me with a plate of Chocolate Chip Cookie and our coffee. 

Apollo : So, Ms Hallman, when do you suggest I come to enjoy your performance? (He asked with a hint of amusement on his face) 
Me : (Geez, is he serious? I shook my heada) Maybe, never? I don't think my performance is enjoyable.
Apollo : You played beautifully, Viola. (His face turned serious)
Me : (Shit! it was like Deja vu!) You called me Viola? 
Apollo : (He narrowed his eyebrows) it is your name right? 
Me : yes, (I breathed)..
Apollo : Is something wrong? 
Me : No. (no, i was just remembering my dream! I gazed through the window) 
Apollo: You skate? (He asked when i saw a bunch of roller derby girls skated by the window) 
Me : No, i don't skate.
Apollo : why? 
Me : I can't (I flushed) I'm utterly uncoordinated.
Apollo : Well, I am an excellent skater, i could teach you. (he grinned, proud. So superb physics lover and an excellent skater huh?)
Me : I don't think so.
Apollo: You don't think I'm an excellent skater or teacher? 
Me : No (i giggled) i think you'll be an excellent teacher and skater of course, I'm more concern that I'm not going to be a good student, and I'll have a problem with that. 
Apollo : (he shook his head and smirked) High Achievement Syndrome huh? 
Me : (nodded) 

He sipped his coffee with a straw he held and his other hand on the cookie, he looked famished. I enjoyed the view of this drop-dead gorgeous boy in front of me. His spiky dark blonde hair all neat and clean, his jaw line hardened as he chewed the cookie, his eyes were flaming with hunger boy he loved his cookie. The school uniform suited him well, the soft blue collar, and the dark blue tie neatly hanging from his neck. He realized i was watching.

Apollo : Want some? (feeling guilty that he didn't offer me some before he ate half of it) 
Me : No (i smiled) I'm not hungry
Apollo : why are you staring? 
Me : Nothing (I can't hide my smile) 
Apollo : Do i amused you?
Me : a bit, you eat funny (I realized his mouth was full while he was talking) 
Apollo : Glad you find it funny. (He chewed and swallow) I'm starving.
Me : Help yourself, you look like you are. 
Apollo : (chuckles) You're weird you know. (he raised an eyebrow, GAH that eyebrow) 
Me : Me? Weird? I think you're weird? 
Apollo : how? (he looked perplexed)
Me : Well, you were all cool and taciturn yesterday, today you were carefree and warm.
Apollo : Huh!? (He was surprised by my answer) I guess you have something to do with it. (he smiled at me sincerely) 

My heart went Volante, flying swiftly with the mild August breeze. Apollo Harp was swooning me. Though my heart was all levitating, my mind tried to stay calm, keep it under control. I have to be cool, i didn't want him to think I'm easy to get. Come back to Earth Vi!

Maestro-Scherzando

The rehearsal finished and Mom and I went back home. She tried to persuade me to play the cello for the Christmas Performance. I said nothing, i was quiet. I could not altered my mind from Apollo. I must not fall for him, I must not fall for him! I said to myself silently.

The time we reached home, I hastily went upstair and dropped my bag and cello case on the floor. I threw myself to the bed and looked up to the ceiling wallpaper which was changed by Marla, my housekeeper, to the night sky mode. She knew stars helped me to sleep well at night. I ran to the bathroom and decided to take a bath. I asked Marla to set the water while I do my homework. I took a bath, cleaned, and then I fell asleep.

***
Apollo : You played beautifully, Viola
Me : You called me Viola
Apollo: You prefer Ms. Hallman? (getting closer)
Me : (flushed) Viola is fine.
Apollo : I Wish i could call you by other name.
Me : (flustered) like what?
Apollo : My.... (smirked)

***
I opened my eyes and breaths, it was just a dream, it was not a nightmare, but why did my heart pounded so fast? I was shocked and utterly confused, I never dreamed of a man before, and this dream of Apollo really was the first time.

I glanced up and looked for my alarm, it was 5.30 in the morning, still too early. I tried to sleep again but my effort was wasted, i could not go back to sleep. I laid on my bed, my mind was scattered, i was so captivated. I tossed and turned, and by 7.00 am I got up from the bed and get ready for school.

Bruce opened the door by the time we reached the school parking lot. I scooted out from the car, grabbing my Tory Burch and walked to the west entrance. I walked slowly, secretly looking for Apollo, and then I saw him, closing his car door, swiftly swung one strap of his Oakley and let the other strap unhang, he locked the doors and glided to the entrance. I noticed some girls gave him a stare, i wondered why isn't he famous? All girls were swoon by his charm, why was his name unfamiliar to the society? I guessed it was because the football club guys were the hottest topic so that girls wouldn't really focus on taciturn guys like Apollo.

Apollo gazed up and smiled at me, Crap! I was caught staring, I flushed and looked down, I speed up a bit to get out from the brief embarrassment. As I hastily strolled the crowded hall, I saw Daisy and Josh, flirting to each other, i wanted to say hi but i thought that greeting them would interrupt the flirting, so I passed them. I reached my locker, put my combination number and open the door when suddenly,

Apollo : Good Morning, Ms. Hallman. (showing from behind of the door)
Me : (shocked) Geez.. (inhale) Hi! (my voice was rather pitchy)
Apollo : Were you running away from me?
Me : No (yes!) I was in a hurry (i lied)
Apollo : Seems like you were avoiding me, are you?
Me  : No (well.. yeah a bit) Why would I try to avoid you? (because I'm afraid to embarrass myself infront of you.. again!)
Apollo : That's what I want to know (He walked to the other side, crosses his arms and lean on the other side locker)
Me : Well, I'm not avoiding you, so.. (Stay cool Hallman!)
Apollo : (snickers) well then, see you around!

he walked away.. Well, he was in a good mood, surprisingly very warm today. I grabbed my biology book, Physics notes, and History book. The bell rang and we all started to enter our class. I actually could not wait for physics, I hoped he is going to be there.
The day was so long until it was finally physics class, I entered the class, but there was no Apollo, he was nowhere near the lab, and i was quite disappointed, but I managed the lessons though i have to admit it was a challenge.

I exited the lab, and was heading to the locker when Apollo showed up and strolled with me to my locker, startling me, he walked beside me, shoulder broad, one hand on the hanged strap and all grinning..

Apollo : Miss me?
Me : (I started to feel irritated) Excuse me?
Apollo : (he smirked, very cool smirk) How was physics?
Me : fine (good, simple answer)
Apollo : You know, you could ask me anything about your assignments, i'd be happy to help (he said proudly)
Me : I'll keep that in mind (I pause) what's up with you today? (woo, easy girl)
Apollo: What? (confused)
Me : You are quite chipper today. (We reached my locker, i opened it)
Apollo : huh (trying to sound like he was surprised) I liked to hear you play again. (he was looking at my cello, he changed topic)
Me : I'm not that good (i can't play in front of you!)
Apollo: A Hallman not good at music? (snorts)
Me: What? You know me?
Apollo : Viola Hallman, daughter of  Mark Hallman the famous prosperous composer and Gillian Hallman the award winning musical director. Yeah I know.
Me : you know a lot about me. (I flushed again, wow HE KNOWS ME! I didn't asked how, he would probably googled me, HE GOOGLED ME!)
Apollo : not much (he grins)
Me : I know nothing about you, see that's not fair! (I frown)
Apollo: there's nothing much to know (his smile fade)
Me: I'm sure that's not true, we should make this even.
Apollo: (grunt) well, what do you want to know?
Me : (you have no idea the list i made about the things i want to know about you) well.. umm.. I'm still curious about the deal between you and Mrs. Garcia.
Apollo: (serious) Well (he paused for like 10 seconds, and i didn't mind staring at him thinking) Let's say it's for extra credit.
Me : it's not something you should be ashamed of, why didn't you tell me yesterday?
Apollo :  So what is you next lesson? (he looked bothered, angry even)
Me: well, I'm free now and I'll have history at 1.00 am, I would like to practice cello now before i let you listen (I tried to amuse him, and it worked!)
Apollo: I'm looking forward to it (he smiled, Geez it's so hot!), gotta go, Chemistry, see you around! (he fisted his hand and gently bumped his knuckles to my shoulder)

Apollo was very playful today, all Scherzando, and I liked it! I wondered if he is playful kind of guy or the serious kind of guy? I don't care actually, I was just glad he was happy.

Maestro - Fantasia

The girls seemed to be having a lot of fun, and I was bored with what they were talking about. I looked at my phone, It was 4.30 pm. I made an excuse to Daisy, saying that my Mom texted me and she wanted me home. So Daisy released me and so did her friends. I waved sweetly to them and walked outside the shop. I called my driver and I waited for 10 minutes before he picked me up.

When i went inside, Bruce was talking to the phone, he said yes Maam, and hang up the phone.

Bruce : Ms. Hallman, Mrs. Hallman appointed me to take you to the Grand Hall after school. 

Me : well,... okay then. 

Bruce: She told me to make sure you bring your Cello with you Ms. Hallman.

Me : (Crap! I left it in my locker, i put it in after i practiced in that dark abandoned physics room) Bruce! I don't have it with me! 

Bruce : Do you want to go home first? 

Me : Crap Bruce, does she sounds in a hurry? 

Bruce : She is. 

Me : well then, we have no time, just drive Bruce, i'll  figure something out. 

Mom wouldn't be happy. She was a very rigid woman with a very high disciplinary expectation. She was absolutely perfectionist and i thought it was her demands that made most of her staff worshiped  her. She has this persona that made everyone bowed to her command. But despite all that, she was a loving mother, she thought about me most of her time. She was lovely, and this is the other quality that made her staff loved and worshiped her. 

My mind whirled hard, what could be my excuses? Saying that i forgot to bring my Cello wasn't a good excuse, she would just scolded me for an hour. Saying that i broke my stick was much worse, and didn't make any sense since my stick was new. Saying that a friend borrowed it, still was not a good one.  I was clueless for what i should said. No sooner had the car arrived its destination than i reached into the decision to tell her the truth. I hoped she would just be cool with it for once. 

I sprinted to the main hall, and stopped before the door, I combed my long hair roughly with my hands and arranged my bangs, checked my uniform and tug my shirt inside my skirt. Pulled my socks higher and patted my shoulder. Neat enough, I entered the room while striving for elegance, my mom said that no matter what you wear, even just a shirt and shorts or even school uniform, you must keep your chin up. 

Mom : Darling, Where have you been? Where's your cello? 

Me : I'm sorry mom, i left it in my locker after practicing. (please don't yell at me) 

Mom : (she seemed pretty busy, she rushed) Well, that's okay. Now go and asked Bruce to pick up your cello at home. After that come with me and we'll watch the rehearsal, okay? (she turned around) Places everybody, we'll start in 5. 

I nodded and called Bruce to pick my cello at home, thank goodness i had two cello. 

I took a seat at the back of the hall but my mom forced me to sit beside her on the first row, so i did.

Mom taught the singers to warm up a bit and the singers followed her. After that mom shouted places and the singers got ready. It was their dress rehearsal and all the female singers were wearing tight Victorian dresses and the male singers were dressed like Romeo from "Romeo and Juliet". They sand the classic L'enfance du Christ by Hector Berlioz. It was going to be performed that Christmas. 

It was beautiful, I closed my eyes and listen to the melody. When i got calmer and calmer, Apollo's face showed in my mind, his face was stern like when we were in the class after school. His eyes were sparkling and  he was staring at me and his eyes was slowly getting closer to mine. His voice was soft, alluring and gentle. He looked down for couple second and he looked up with this cool smile, he inhaled some air and exhaled it slowly, he faced down again, crossing his arms, standing in this cool pose, his wearing the school unifor, light blue shirt tugged in and his sleeves were rolled to his elbow, his  tie was neatly tied and  and frown, his eyebrows were stiff and he said slowly and sincerely "See you around, Ms. Hallman." His face turned mysterious. 

Mom : What are you thinking Viola? 

Me : (drawn back to earth, shocked) Nothing mom, it's.. beautfiul 

Mom : Why, Thank you honey, glad you like it. I was thinking you could play along that's why I told you to bring your cello

Me: Mom? I don't think I'm ready. 

Mom: sure you are darling, you have plenty of time to practice

Me : Mom..

Mom : We'll talk about it later 

My Fantasia about Apollo was ruined with mom's command. 

Maestro - Primo Uomo

I went outside of the school, took a deep breath and walked to the coffee shop daisy was talking about. The air wasn't cool, wasn't hot either. I enjoyed the brief mild weather while walking to the shop. I entered the shop and saw Daisy, and her cheerleader friends chatting and chittering about the football team and whom among them were the hottest. I was quite unfamiliar with that kind of talk. I was considering to leave them and just go home, but too late, Daisy saw me and there was no escape from Daisy, she could make you eat dirt if she wants to, she just knew how.

Daisy : Vi! Sit here!
Me : Okay (hesitant)
Daisy : So?
Me : What?
Daisy : got the calculator?
Me : Oh, yeah (unexcited)
Daisy : What's wrong?
Me : nothing
Daisy : you sure?
Me : (tried to put my perky face on) Yea
Daisy: (confused) Well, okay then
Me : i'd better buy some coffee
Daisy : okay come back soon

I tried to avoid guy talk, it wasn't my thing. I walked to the counter and ordered hot skinny mocha, my favorite. I waited on the counter. I looked to the window beside the counter facing my school, My eyes popped when I saw Apollo come out from the entrance while whirling his car keys and swiftly went down couple of stairs to reach the street. He walked to his car parked not far from the entrance, just 3 cars away. He went inside his toyota and then gone. No sooner had his car driven away, my coffee was ready and I walked back to Daisy.

Daisy : So, Apollo Harp huh?
Me: What?
Daisy : I saw you starring at him across the street, you like him don't you? (teasing)
Me : No
Daisy's friend : Oh please, we saw you honey, your eyes were following him
Me : i didn't realize it
Daisy : Crap Vi! You like him! Your first crush! So exciting!
Me : Daisy!

I was embarrassed. Daisy embarrassed me, and the most annoying part was she was right. I was in awe,  I was falling for Apollo Harp and i don't know why.

Me : Besides, what is to like?
Daisy : You gotta admit, he's hot
Daisy's friend : he's not popular though.
Daisy : it doesn't matter, he's still hot
Me : are you sure I'm the one who likes him?
Daisy : Nah, I'm stuck with Josh....

The girls continued about Josh and the other football guys. I was glad they didn't brought up Apollo again during the conversation. I stayed quite while they gossiped, I was thinking about what Daisy said, my first crush. I thought about it hard, it's too soon to conclude that Apollo Harp as the first guy i liked, I kept chanting this mantra in my head, "He's not my Primo Uomo I liked, he's not going to be. I won't let myself."

Maestro - Allegro

The class went monotonous as Mrs. Garcia blabbered fluently about fluid and its characteristics. My mind was boggled with his image. He seemed very outgoing and free-spirited the first time i glanced my eyes on him, but after his visit to physics class, he seemed distant. Something about him invited me to know more about him.

I was very bored with the lesson, so i took my calculator and pressed the numbers in random just to kill time. I was delighted when the school bell rang. The school had ended and it was time we went home.

Daisy : Viola, wanna hang with the girls?
Me : Where?
Daisy : The coffee shop across the school, interested?
Me : Sure

She grabbed my arms and we strolled to the school entrance when i realized i left my calculator on my desk.

Me : Shoot, Daze, I think i left my calculator!
Daisy : Chillax, can't you take it tomorrow? I'm sure the janitor kept it.
Me : I can't do my homeworks without it, I'll catch up with you guys later?
Daisy : Well, if you must. See you on the coffee shop, kay?
Me: Yea, see ya guys.

I sprinted a bit to physics class, the door was closed. I tried to open it, it wasn't lock. Phew!
I peeked into the empty class, and no one's there. It was save for me to just grab my calculator and leave. I walked to my seat and search for my calculator. It wasn't there! I panicked for a minute, where was it. I peeked into my bag, no, it wasn't there,

Apollo : Something wrong Ms. Hallman?

i was startled, why did he had to be so silent? He leaned on the door with his arms and legs crossed naturally, his face was so solemn and somehow he managed to look attractive.

Me : Um, i am looking for my calculator.

He squinted his eyes and thought about something, he looked to his left and start walking slowly to the drawers beside the teacher's desk and opened it. He took my calculator and handed it in

Apollo : Be careful next time Ms. Hallman, (He said with stern tone) You're lucky i found it.
Me : Thank you. How do you know my name?
Apollo : You labeled your calculator, Ms. Hallman.

Of course, how silly of me to ask such retarded answer, i felt stupid, embarrassed, again.

Me :Viola (Why did i said that?)
Apollo : (Amused, i can see he started to soften) I'm obligated to call Mrs. Garcia's students formally, it's part of the deal.
Me: What deal? The assistant deal?
Apollo : (his face went straight again, i knew my question bugged him) Need anything else?
Me : That's it ( I said slowly) Thank you Mr. (pause) Harp? (Sharks! That sounded weird)

He nodded politely without a smile and escorted me to the hallway.

Apollo : See you around, Ms. Hallman.

I couldn't hide my smile, he was very charming, very confusing, somehow he made my heart gone allegro. I was walking through the almost empty hallway when i wondered about him, Who is he? Who is Apollo Harp?
