Chapter 9: One’s Melancholy

-STEPHEN-

"Just who are you people?" Olivia said as she bit her lip. She still has that habit of hers.

"We're your-*CHOOK!*" Al got interrupted by Mr. ever most late, Apollo Augustus' entrance.

"Am I late?!"

"Don't you have any eyes? Look at the time." I said as I point at the clock

"Huh?! I'm only fifteen minutes late." Apollo answered with irritation written all over his face. This little-

"Quiet! You two. There's a lady here, show some respect." Al said as Olivia shyly hid behind him.

Apollo is staring at Olivia then later on his face becomes hmm like a fool's? Uh oh he might-

"Nice to meet you! I'm Apollo Augustus, you can call me Polo." The fool grinned ear to ear trying to give her a handshake. Tsk.

"Olivia Utinsky." Olivia nervously responded to his handshake.

"Now that Apollo is here, we can start our daily practice." Al subtly dodged Olivia’s question and he tried changing the subject into starting our daily practice.

I continue making my work for the contest. Since I'm under the painting category, I must pass a sketch or outline before entering the contest. After a while, everyone is doing their own projects. Al is trying to sculpt a dragon out of ice. Polo is practicing his steps for Fire Art. Lastly, Olivia is-?!

"Why are you just sitting there? Play." I said to her, trying to hide my excitement. She's just quietly sitting down by the piano with a solemn look full of hesitation.

"Oh I'm just remembering some songs 'good' to play." Huh? All of her songs are good.

"What? Just play from the heart. Do your thing."

She nods her head then face at the piano. She took a deep breath and she starts to play and sing a song

If I leave, I'm sorry

Even if we're apart

You're always in my heart

So don't ever worry

If I had amnesia

Forgetting everything

But you who's in my mind

So never try to weep

Your tears are my sorrow

Your smile is my rapture

Can't wait for tomorrow

Now, our hearts are captured

Both are culprit and captive

of each other's heart and mind

Never felt unattractive

We're here by each other's side

If you can't see, just believe

I'm here for you, that's for sure

Please trust in me so don't grieve

Always know that I love you

Falling hopelessly

"To the abyss," I say

Lord, rescue me

I don't want to fade
