Sound of Love

Morgan's POV

"Sweetie, you are getting late. Get out of bed right now" it was my dad. He was still holding the door and I could only see half of his body with my sleepy eyes.

"Owhh dad, it's too early to wake up now" i groaned when i checked my alarm clock and saw 7:20 am.

"Lazy girl, stop whining and get out of bed now, you are taking the bus today. I and your mother are going to the NGO meeting and it's serious. Branch at daniyan's his parents are going there too" he shot the door as he ends the sentence, barely avoiding my tons of morning complaints.

"Ohm the bus again?" I cried out dragging my lazy sleepy body out of bed.

I am the only child of my parent, so I do whatever I wanted, but sometimes it turns out the way that I have to do things I hate the most like waking up early and taking the bus to school. I and my best friend Daniyan studies at Harvard-Westlake School. One of the best and oldest schools in town. We study there because we are rich and most importantly, all our friends go there and we don't wanna be left out.

I dressed up in my cozy school uniform, packed my hair in a ponytail style, and picked up my pink-colored backpack. Wow, this is the only thing that makes me happy about going to school, I look so damn pretty and cute in my school uniform, well...not that pretty but my mom keeps this stuck in my brain that no one admires you more you admire yourself. So I gotta look into the mirror every morning and see how pretty I am.

I said goodbye to my parents and as they dropped me at daniyan's house entrance.

"Get ready to confess Daniyan' i said in my mind skipping into the compound. I rang the doorbell and his mom opened it.

"Hi, Mrs. Adam" I greeted.

"Morgan, how're you doing?" She smiled at me, then added right before I answered

"Come in. Have your parents left for the meeting yet?"

"Am doing good and yeah they dropped me here" I answered getting into the house.

"Well, we need to be fast to avoid being late. I will let daniyan know you are here"

"DAAAANNN" she shouted on top of her voice. It's not a surprise that he answered and got down instantly cuz even I was shocked by the loud call she made. Am sorry to say this dan but your mother is too lousy.

"Hey Dan" I greeted

"Hi, he greeted back.

I could see the fear of seeing me in his eyes right from the time he was stepping down the stairs to the time we left the house. We were both quiet on the way to the bus stop until I gathered my whole courage to break the silence and confront daniyan.

Looking into his eyes and talking about what's wrong with him might not be alright but we are friends, I can't leave him alone. Well, this is how I'll do it, I count to three then talk. "...1. 2. 3" I breath out like the heaviest breath I have, that way he might give me more attention. I still can see the nervousness on his face at the moment, he looks pale. "This is not alright"

"So...how are you doing?" I said to him

"Good, you?"

Oh..oh you're not, you can play everyone but not the nosy morgan, Dan. Secrets don't run away from me, you can't hide this.

"Good...but you don't look good" I can't let this stop until I figure out the reason behind that red silent face. Something about daniyan was, he had never been so uncomfortable and silent in my presence just like his mother. Every best friend can tell the situation right from reading his face.

"Am just a little bit sick"

"All days? You've been avoiding me all days, why?

"No...am just busy"

Hey Mr. man, you can't give me two excuses at the same time. You are neither sick nor busy, something is going on at my backsight maybe I wanna hear more.

I kept silent for a moment thinking about what to say next, walking slowly to make the walk long.

"Don't be stupid, you've never been busy to me"

He kept silent, maybe he's thinking about another ridiculous excuse. Huh, he's soo bad at making excuses. Well... let's just get to the conclusion. I reached to his shoulders holding him from getting away from me. This is the only chance I have, maybe it's what I thought.

"Are you in a relationship?"

Game over, he can't stop staring at me. Say it out am not gonna feel bad I always wanted you to be free from me. Another girl can keep you busy for some time, but not always I can't lose my best friend.

"Anyway, I just hope she's not prettier than I am" I added, to make him less guilty. I don't want him sad.

"Yeah, don't worry" he nodded

"That's much better" I sighed. At least he can talk now.

"Hey, we are running out of time, let's talk later" he added looking at his wristwatch.

"Yeah let's run fast" I grabbed his wrist and ran.

We arrived at school, not too early but at least we were not late. Laura, my project partner was standing at the entrance, she looked stressed. She's always like this, she's a workaholic always doing seniors Homeworks, help the lab teachers, stage assist just to get money. Don't think they are anywhere close to being poor she just like money a lot. Anyway, I gotta know what's wrong with her just to keep her less stressed, I can't do all the project work alone.

"Hey laura" I greeted

"Hi morg" she greeted back.

"What's up, why do you look stressed"

"Morg," she said in a low tune

"I didn't get any sleep last night, I was busy with the homework and I had to read for Miss Nala's test plus the annual play is next week I still haven't finished making the costumes. Moreover, my parents are traveling to Norway to celebrate their anniversary today, they are paying me 50 bucks to babysit my little sister throughout the week"

"First you need to keep away the Homeworks and focus more on your own study"

"What about the money? I can't resist losing any income..."

"Stop right there. You need to stop the homework. About the costumes I will help you with that and why are you babysitting your sister? Where are the house helps?"

"My parent believed I can take care of my sister more, the house helps are just there to help"

"Any way you need to get asleep before the test, go sleep in the common room, I will make an excuse for you"

"Thanks, Morg, thank you for insisting to help me with the costumes too" she hugged me.

"Nevermind, we are friends. Just give me your bag and your locker key"

"Why?!"

"So you won't spend all the all the resting time doing something else"

"But morg..."

"No buts, just hand them to me"

"Okay," she slipped down her backpack and gave it to me.

"What about the key?"

"It's inside the bag"

"Okay"

I went to meet daniyan in the hallway while she walked to the common room.

"Hey you don't have to wait for me" I called out as I reached to him.

"My locker key is with you" he complained. Our lockers are right next to each other and I always forget my key at home so I keep some reserve things in his locker, so that was why I have his locker key with me.

"Ohh...sorry" I smiled.

We were packing up our books to class when a familiar voice called from behind "hello pretty".

I was stunned when I turned around

"HARRIS?" I shouted already about to pass out.

"Yeah am back to LA" he smiled.
