"Where are you going again?" Juliette was short of excuses. She hesitated for a long moment before answering her mother.
"Hum, I'm going to study with Damian." She bit his lips.
"You study every day? Really, Juliette?" She rolled her eyes.
"Yeah. You know finals are approaching—"
"Don't lie to me, Juliette!" her mom screamed. Juliette trembled with fear as she knew that her angry mother was no joke.
She left a deep sigh, trying to calm herself. "Okay now, tell me where you're going."
"To meet some friends." Juliette whispered.
Her mom approached him slowly. "And who are these friends?"
"Just some friends. I don't have to tell you everything, mom!"
"Juliette—" her mom couldn’t catch her as she already slammed the door and ran away.

"What's wrong, Juliette? You don't look so well." Kyle was worried.
"Nothing, Kyle. Don't worry about me." Juliette looked around, “Where is Pete
The next day, Juliette ran after classes to catch the bus that dropped by the studio. She wanted to play the piano so bad."Oh, hey Juliette. You came so early today." Kyle said.When the others are absent, he spends his time arranging some old songs he started writing before the incident, but he doesn't think about releasing them."I came for the piano." Juliette blushed making the man burst out laughing."I knew it!" Kyle laughed. "Start with what I showed you the other day, I'll come to check on you later."Juliette hurried to the small room where they put the piano. She took off her jacket and sat down contemplating the beauty of the instrument. She started playing a piece written by the young producer. It was not as diffic
Finals just started today, and I was nervous. I hope that everything would go well. Kyle treated me and Damian to lunch yesterday to wish us good luck for the exams. I loved how he was always kind to us. I wish I had an older brother like him."Morning, Juliette. You ready?" Damian asked.I scratched the back of my neck. "I don't know, but I'm sure we can do it." I winked and put my arm around his shoulders as we headed to our classroom. Everyone in the school corridors was wishing us good luck. My best friend and I were quite popular even though we never really talked to anyone.We had another fifteen minutes before the first exam, and we sat down to review a little in the garden until my phone vibrated in my pocket. It was a message from Peter. "Come to the main door." I lifted an eyebrow and got up to go there with Damian. We found him leaning against the wall with a box
"Damian, come down to eat your breakfast!" his mom called from the kitchen.Damian just finished showering and was choosing what to wear. It was their last day of exams, and he was so excited that he wanted to wear something very special to impress Peter. He was planning to go with Juliette to the studio after they finish. He chose black ripped jeans and a dark blue shirt. Juliette told him before that these colors suit him a lot.He styled his brownish hair and put on some pink lip balm to complete everything."Morning, mom," He kissed his mother's cheek."Morning, son," She ruffled his hair. "My son is already handsome, but you look even more beautiful today. Want to impress someone?" She smirked, making Damian slightly blush."No, I'm just happy because we're finishing today, and I'm going out with Juliette after s
"So, now we have one vocalist and two rappers. One of them is a dancer too. Can you dance Lucas?" Kyle asked their new member, who slowly shook his head."He can learn it, like Juliette," Peter said.Kyle lifted an eyebrow. "It's not that easy to dance, you know.""Don't worry, Kyle. I'll do anything I can to help them." Peter said.Juliette smiled and looked at Lucas, hoping to see him smile too, but he wasn't. He was just staring at the floor, in deep thought. She wished she could enter his brain and see what was happening there.Juliette met a lot of people before but never met someone as mysterious as him. She never cared about anyone and never got interested in anyone, but she wanted to know more about Lucas. She wished to unravel his mystery."Now that you finished school, you can come during the mornin
LucasEveryone left earlier, so I was left alone in the studio. I ate some parts of pizza and took a shower. I sat on the couch and started writing some things on my notebook until I saw a plastic bag next to the entrance door. I think Juliette left it here. I was curious to know what is was, so I opened it and found a pair of pants, a t-shirt, a jacket, and a lot of pairs of boxers too. I also found a kit where there was a toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant and some creams. I didn’t know when tears started falling from my eyes. I couldn’t believe that I met such an amazing person. I knew that she bought everything for me, she thought about me, and this was really important to me.Days ago, I was alone and hopeless, and now I had friends who cared about me, and this was all thanks to her. All thanks to Juliette. I wiped my tears and put on one of the boxers before laying on the blanket. Why did she leave the bag on the floor instead of giving it to
"Hey, Kyle. Good to see you again," Felicia greeted the producer once he entered the store."Hey, Felicia," Kyle smiled. "You look happy today.""Yes, I finally finished my last semester's exams." The vendor said."What do you study?" Kyle asked."Movie direction." Felicia smiled.Kyle widened his eyes. "Whoa, that's great! I hope that you'll become a famous movie director."Felicia smiled shyly. "Thanks. By the way, what do you need?""Water bottles and some snacks," Kyle said."Why do you need so many of them? Did you invite some friends?"
It was midnight, so there were no more buses at that time. Juliette didn't have any choice but to walk to the studio. She finally arrived, her feet were hurting too much from walking.She didn't have the key, so she knocked at the door, hoping Lucas would hear her. She stood there for a while, wiping the tears from her face. She knocked for the last time and someone finally opened the door."Juliette? What the hell are you doing here?" Lucas groaned."Lucas…”"Damn, it's 1 am, what the fuck?" Lucas raised an eyebrow when he saw Juliette's sad face. "What's wrong, Juliette? Were you crying?" He asked with a soft voice this time."My parents chased me from home," Juliette said with a weak voice.Lucas widened his eyes. "What? Why would they do that?"
Lucas still couldn't believe he was the one playing. He had no idea what happened, it was as if someone had been controlling his body for a while like a puppet, as if wires were tied to his hands and someone made them move throughout the keyboard. He played for only a few minutes, but he felt like it was an eternity. He felt as if he had been transferred to another world, a world where there was only him and the instrument in front of him. He finally felt at home, he could finally breathe, finally feelalive."I didn't know either." He mumbled, still confused."What do you mean you didn't know? Come on, we can't be born pianists!" Juliette chuckled.
