I stopped eating, my appetite vanished,
Daisy : Vi, what's wrong? rotten burger?
Me : I lost my appetite
Daisy : You haven't eat for a week, Vi! You'll get sick!
Me : I eat alright, I eat everyday, just not as much as usual. I don't feel like eating. (I pointed with my head to Apollo and Kim behind her)
Daisy : That son of a bi..
Me : Daze! (I cutted her before she could curse out loud)
Daisy : Vi, you seriously need to eat. Don't let him make you like this pathetic.
Me : I eat Daze, I do, and I'm not pathetic..
Daisy : Prove it!
I bit my burger again, though it was tasteless after what I saw. I didn't want to think about it much, I just need to finish my meal and get away from Daisy. I finished the tasteless veggie burger and hurriedly clean up and went for History class. Could the day got any longer?

The journey to rehearsal hall was short, I carried the cello bag out of the car and wave shortly to Bruce, he smiled. I went inside the hall and saw mom and her crew preparing some lighting sequence. She saw me coming
Mom : Good! You're here darling, come to the stage and start practicing.
Me : (I nodded and comply with the order)
I opened the cello case, and was ready to play. I fetched the sheets and played, note by note. In the middle of the peace, I stunk a note but I didn't stop playing. Mom was well aware of that and gave me an icy stare and I cringed. It had been a week of full practice, and mom had never once said that I played good enough, she just complained. It was exhausting playing cello for my mom and dad, they did have high expectations, too high, sometimes I thought that their expectations have no limits.
Mom : The way you play sounded like you never practice!
Her words stabbed me hard. Seriously, could this day got any worse? I was here everyday after school till night mom, I'm tired! I pouted and played the music again.

Apollo passed me down the hallway, it was the third time he looked at me and smiled after I saw him with Kim. I looked down down immediately, I didn't want to fall to the same old game he was playing.
The last period was Physics, so I went to my locker to prepare my books.
Daisy : Vi! (She showed up behind my back when I was taking books from the locker)
Me : Sup, Daze?
Daisy : Can I borrow your calculator? Mine is dead, the battery ran out I guess. I need for calc.
Me : Sure (I opened my Tory Burch, no calculator inside) wait a moment. I searched my locker, no calculator there too)
Daisy : Maybe you left it somewhere?
Me : I use calculator for physics only, maybe I left it there again.
Daisy : Oh, too bad. I should borrow Josh's. See you later?
Me : Yeah. (I needed to find calculator)
The bell rang and I went to physics class. Mrs. Garcia was explaining about the last subchapter about fluid and it was time for pop-quiz. She handed the quiz sheets herself, Apollo was absent then. I didn't noticed Apollo was beside me 15 minutes later when he scoffed a cough and smiled, amused, probably laughing inside because I was calculating the answer without my calculator. It was harder but I didn't care, all I needed to do was finishing my quiz and get the hell away from him, and oh, find my calculator. He walked away and headed to Mrs. Garcia's table, he talked to her and left the class. Good!
Mrs. Garcia : Times up! Everyone, please submit your papers and you may leave the class.
The class moved forward to her table and submitted the paper. I was the last because I needed more time to calculate the answer.
Mrs. Garcia : You lost your calculator didn't you Ms. Hallman?
Me : I'm sorry (I apologized), I think I left it here somewhere.

Me : I'm sorry (I apologized), I think I left it here somewhere.
Mrs. Garcia : Mmm.. it's not here, perhaps the lab storeroom? Our lab assistant might located it there. (Who the hell is our lab assistant? Apollo?and where is the lab storeroom?)
Me : Oh, Where is that Mrs. Garcia.
Mrs. Garcia : It's behind the janitor room, to the left (She smiled as if she's hiding something)
Me : Oh, thanks Mrs. Garcia
Mrs. Garcia : Good luck Ms. Hallman.
Wait! The room behind janitor room? It was where I met Apollo for the first time. I remembered the day when Music room was crowded by the band and kids banging on the wall and the only room I could find peace was the old abandoned room beside the janitor room. I exited the class and headed to the lab storeroom. I stood up in front of the door noticing the door was open, I peeked my head inside.
Holy! The room was lighted with scented-candles inside half-filled beaker glasses. It was gorgeous and beautiful, and the room smelled so good, lavender I think. I entered the storeroom, too busy studying the atmosphere.
Apollo : You're early (He startled me from the back, typical Apollo)
Me : (I gasped) I'm sorry, I didn't mean to barged in (My mind automatically thought that he was going on a date with Kim in this room) I was looking for..
Apollo : For your calculator, I know (he cut me, how rude!)
Me : Well? (He knew, so where was it? I knew he kept it.)
Me : Oh, Where is that Mrs. Garcia.
Mrs. Garcia : It's behind the janitor room, to the left (She smiled as if she's hiding something)
Me : Oh, thanks Mrs. Garcia

Apollo : I'm not going to give it to you, Ms. Hallman, you seriously need to be responsible for your belongings.
Me : (Okay, he drove me mad, I was trying to manage my anger) I will, but please, give it back to me, I need it. (my voice was stern, mad)
Apollo : I will, but you have to do me a favor. (his face was serious, demanding but still relax, all I could think of was how mad I was with him)
Me : (Okay, he drove me mad, I was trying to manage my anger) I will, but please, give it back to me, I need it. (my voice was stern, mad)
Apollo : I will, but you have to do me a favor. (his face was serious, demanding but still relax, all I could think of was how mad I was with him)
Me : What! (I snapped)
Apollo : You have to answer my questions first (he went inside and closed the door then he slid his hands into his trousers pocket cooly)
Me : Apollo, I don't have time for this game, I want to go home! (I had to practice!) Please give me back my calculator and I'll be gone and your date would be smooth. (I practically shouted at him)
Apollo : First of all, I don't appreciate you calling me by my first name in school. (He looked down shyly, and a hint of smile was visible on his not-Apollo-like expression). Second, there's no date if you are gone.( I was perplexed, what? His second sentence was hard to process)
Me : What?
Apollo : (he raised his head to the right and suppressed his smile, he was amused. He walked to an old wooden drawer and sat on it, arm crossed) Look, you didn't lost your calculator, I took it from your desk the other day when you were doing an experiment with Daisy. I'm sorry.
Me :You stole it.
Apollo : I'm really sorry, I just want you to come find me.
Me : Why?
Apollo : I want to explain something to you.
Me : (I rolled my eyes, here we go again.)
Apollo : This is serious. (He looked defeated, he scan the room thoroughly, his face showed that he was wounded, by what I didn't know)
Apollo, what's wrong? He looked triste, assai triste. All my anger had changed into worry. What is it that made you this sad? I looked at him, walking closer to him as he looked down again, he didn't move. He sat still, arm still crossed. I looked at his wounded gorgeous face, he was thinking, or remembering something. Apollo?
