I woke up with someone knocking at the door loudly

Where am I?

I was unfamiliar with the room since this is my first time seeing it

"RISE AND SHINE BITCH!" Yara entered as she slammed the door open holding a plate full of pancakes

Peter and Max entered the room "Now hurry up and get ready, you have a performance to do by sunset" Max grabbed my hand and forcefully pulled me out of bed

These guys are more excited than I am

The clock in the bedroom says that it was 7 in the morning and the performance won't start until 3 PM "It's too early!" I groaned

I managed to pull my hand away from Max's grip and I jump back on the bed rolling myself in the duvet like a Burrito

"Pip it's better to be early than wait for you to hurry up at the last minute" Aiden told me as he tried to pull off the duvet from me and I growled at him angrily

"No! I refuse to get off this bed" I announced to them loudly since the door was open wide and I know that the others are waiting outside the hallway. I glared at all of them before covering myself entirely

I get that they wanted me to get ready early so there is no hassle later but IT IS TOO EARLY

"By the way, I think I saw a gray and white baby bunny in the dandelion field earlier"

A bunny?

I poked my head out of the duvet since I took interest immediately "Is it still there?" I asked Mira who told me about it, she shrugged at me

"Depends if you get out of bed or not" she answered, my first reaction was that I quickly sat up and throw away the duvet off of me before I started getting ready

Been a long time since I saw a baby bunny, I must hurry

Peter shoved me in the bathroom then I took a shower, since the cold shower hit my body my brain was wide awake now

Oh wait, OH MY GOD, I HAVE PRACTICE RIGHT NOW!

The time where Evan told me the time of the practice before the performance has slipped my mind so I hurriedly finished showering before wearing the champagne color dress that we bought yesterday

It fit me like a glove and the fabric feels nice on my skin, Mira styled my hair in a low bun with her expertise before Aiden asked Ruth if we could use one of the cars to transport me quickly to school for the practice

Luckily, Ruth asked one of Aiden's bodyguards to drive me to school before 8 and I ran to the music room as fast as I can

I feel like Cinderella from how the dress glides smoothly on the floor

My hand went to twist the doorknob and I entered the room filled with all the students who were also in formal attire "Sorry I'm late" I told them

Tiffany looked at me oddly "What are you talking about Mia? You're here on time"

I am?

"You came here before the clock strikes 8" Evan told me while he was cleaning his violin with a cloth

I felt overdressed since everybody wore simple formal attire and it made me feel a little embarrassed, I was also getting a lot of stares from the orchestra members

Ms. Cass entered the room in formal attire too, once her eyes landed on me a big grin was spread across her face "Don't you look lovely Mia"

"Ms. Cass, don't you think she is too overdressed?" A girl asked her out loud trying to get the attention of everyone focused on me, everybody agreed except for Evan and Tiffany

The teacher raised her brow at the girl "Vivian I have never scolded you when you wore bright red to your first orchestra with us, this is Mia's first time performing with us so she can be excused"

The girl who was named Vivian went red from embarrassment for being called out by Ms. Cass

She leaned to my ear and whispered "I like the color, it looks so elegant"

I smiled at her "Thank you"

All throughout that morning, we practiced none stop until noon came and we had to take a rest and eat lunch so we can have the energy to perform later

I feel so tired when I meet up with my friends at the front of the school, the guys brought a lot of food for me while the girl brought makeup and hair tools to redo my hair and face

We all chose a spot under a huge tree to eat together, since I was wearing the dress I have to be careful when eating the Hawaiian burger which was very delicious

"Is the bunny still there at the dandelion field?" I asked Mira and she nodded

"It's taking a nap on a log, almost like it is waiting for you"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soon it was time for us to get ready to go to the stage that was located near the beach, the school rented out vans for us to use but Aiden and Wyett insisted I just use the car that drove me here

The special treatment got me a lot of jealous glares from my peers, I gave out a nervous chuckle before entering the car

It's so tiring when everybody in the orchestra won't stop not picking everything about you behind your back

The bodyguard drove us while Aiden was seated beside me at the back seat and Wyett at the passenger seat "You look nervous, are you okay Wyett?" I asked him

Wyett and everyone looks so nervous like they're on edge every time I call their names, something fishy is going on

The car stopped at the back of the enormous stage that was built on the beach, Aiden took a deep breath "You ready?"

"I am" I nodded at him

In truth, I was really nervous since my last performance in front of many people was my 3rd grade piano recital

He stepped out of the car first before giving me his hand to hold so he could help me out of the car, once I stepped out I can hear a lot of people talking at the other side of the stage

It was the huge audience waiting for us to close the festival with a performance

If Aiden started the festival with his concert, we were going to close it with the orchestra

I felt my heart beating so loudly from how nervous I was, Ms. case was holding a clipboard "Places everyone, you go out by order"

My hand went to tug at Ms. Cass' long sleeve "Ms. Cass so when am I going to come out?"

"Since you are playing the piano, you'll go out last and the dress makes the better impression on the audience" she told me with a wink then continued to run around telling everyone to get ready

We all formed a straight line with me at the very end of the line, the audience clapped once we one by one stepped up on the stage. When it was finally my turn I felt the spotlight point at me

Everyone in the orchestra was spotlighted by a bright light, the dress that I wore shimmers beautifully as I walk across the stage to reach the piano at the other side. It only made it better since the dress was so flowy the strong wind from the beach made my dress move gracefully

I felt an intense gaze burning at the side of my head, so before I sat down in front of the piano I looked at the audience and I couldn't see exactly who was giving me this intense feeling

The feeling felt so familiar, it is almost as if I was being watched by Cloud

Ms. Cass ran to the bottom center of the stage, she tapped the tip of the conductor's baton at the stage three times signaling us to start when she moves her hand

I started to play the piano and the rest followed me right after, my fingers moved on their own after I practiced the music notes. Of course, there were music notes laid in front of me but it was better since I practiced it that I don't have to look at it every second

It was hard to focus because I feel watched
