Chapter 059

I never thought I would be able to sleep because of waiting for Sebastian. I immediately looked at my watch, it was 8:00 am so does that mean I slept for 30 minutes? I immediately looked around, it looked like everyone was there. "Vienna, it's good you're awake," said Brother Dim as he headed in my direction. It's embarrassing, it looks like I'm just what they're waiting for. "I'm sorry Brother Dim, I woke up early and I slept late last night," I replied shyly. "It's okay Vienna, don't worry. By the way, I'll introduce you to someone, she also met other members of the club recently." This is probably what Sam referring to, Sebastian's childhood friend. Brother Dim also left in front of me and after a minute, he was accompanied by a woman. "Vienna, this is Cheska Madrid, Sebastian's childhood friend. Cheska, this is Vienna Malvar, she is Professor Lozano's niece," said Brother Dim. But I was surprised at what Cheska did, she hugged me so tightly that it was as if she hadn't seen me in a long time. Almost everyone who saw was surprised at what she did even Sebastian. "I'm sorry Vienna, I'm sorry if I surprised you," she said and she broke free from my embrace. "It's okay, I'm Vienna nice to meet you Cheska," I said smiling. "Hello Vienna, I'm Cheska nice to meet you too," she replied and smiled at me. "She auditioned yesterday, it's a pity you didn't watch her," said Brother Dim. Is she as good as her friend? Hopefully next time, I can hear her sing and see her play. "So everyone, please settle down," Sister Sheene said. So we all sat down and Cheska sat down next to Sebastian as well. I was yawning and I couldn't even understand what Brother Dim was saying in front. I'm sleepy, it was around 2 am when I fell asleep earlier. "Vienna, you're going to perform." "Huh?? Sorry, thank you, Isabel." I didn't even notice that Isabel had been calling me a while ago. I got up immediately, grabbed my guitar, and went to the center. But Sebastian wasn't able to look at me. "Vienna, are you okay?" Sister Sheene asked as she headed in my direction. "Yes, I'm fine sister," I replied. "I guess you're lacking in sleep, it's obvious in your eyes. If you can't just say okay?" She said worriedly. I shook my head and forced myself to smile at her. "It's okay sister, I can do it," I replied. "Okay, Vienna, good luck." I just smiled after she said that. Everyone also applauded and I suddenly sighed. "You can start, good luck." Sebastian and I had already started but suddenly my guitar string got cut. Everyone also looked at me, even the one next to me. This is the first time this has happened to me and I didn't mean to cut the string. "Vienna, are you okay? Is there a problem?" Brother Dim asked. "I'm fine brother, I'm sorry I didn't mean to," I replied. "It's okay Vienna, lend her a guitar first." I immediately took the guitar that Cedrick handed me. I sighed again, I hope I don't cut the string again. Sebastian and I started again, this time I focused. Fortunately, I didn't make any mistakes and my playing went well. I stopped singing and playing when Sebastian suddenly stopped. I looked at him but now, he was looking at me badly. What did I do wrong again? "Sebastian, what's the matter?" Brother Dim asked but he ignored it. "If you can't, why are you still pushing it?! We practiced for two days but you don't seem to know what you're playing. Where in the world has your mind and you can't focus? Can you not bring it here in the club your personal problem to make others feel sorry for you. It's a rehearsal but you made a mistake, what is that?! Don't make me include," he shouted angrily, making me silent. I never thought that because of the small sin I had committed, he would be angry like that. Not only was I surprised but everyone here in the room was shocked by what he said. I have been embarrassed several times in front of the crowd but it hurts more when he embarrassed me. I was hurt, I wanted to leave but I couldn't move my legs. "Sebastian, your words are hurting her, what's wrong with what Vienna did? She's playing right, she can keep up with you but why are you still angry?" Brother Dim asked while his forehead furrowed. I avoided looking at him and left beside him. I immediately took my bag and slung it over my shoulder. They were all looking at me, I just ignored it. "Brother Dim, I'm leaving, I'm just going to practice alone. Cedrick, can I borrow your guitar for a while? I'll bring it back later. I'm leaving," I said and left the club. When I got outside, my tears, which I had been holding back, started to flow on their own. *** I decided that I would go to the garden to practice. My tears had stopped but I was still hurting. When I arrived at the garden, I immediately sat down and sighed. This was just the first time he shouted at me and I couldn't help but think that he might hurt me as he did to Liezel. "Hello Tine," I replied. I was surprised when he suddenly called, I immediately looked at the field but no one was there. Where is he? Did he go to class? (Hello Vienna, where are you? I'm here now in front of the Music Club. But Dim says you leave, where are you? I'm going to you) I could feel the worry in his voice, that's why I couldn't stop myself from smiling. 'I'm here in the garden, in front of the field," I replied. (All right, wait for me there) Then he hangs up the call. I sighed again and I was still affected by what Sebastian said. I don't know what his problem is, yes he's mean and his attitude changes all the time but I thought we were okay. There are a lot of things that I still don't know about him, I don't know him very well. After 5 minutes, Tine arrived. He ran towards here 'cause he was out of breath. He was carrying a paper bag and I think it was from his mom. He sat down next to me and immediately fixed his clothes. "Why did you run going here?" I ask. I didn't feel uncomfortable with him and I think he did the same to me. "I know something happened, am I right?" he replied. I immediately looked away from him. How did he know? Did Brother Dim tell him? "You won't leave the Music Club if nothing happens. I heard earlier that Dim scolded Sebastian and he mentioned your name," he added. "Yes, something happened, but I'm fine," I replied. "Just ignore him and forget what he told you. Just focus on what you're doing so you can play well. Is that okay?" I nodded and smiled at him. I have one thing that I realize now that I am facing him, he's not hard to love.
