“Why are you being stubborn,e back to your senses guy” Ang yelled and gave him a hot p.


    “What!”Pam’s eyes widened covering her mouth with her hand.


    “Are you happy now, if pping me makes you feel better, I think you should p it over and over again” Romeo said and took Ang’s hand to p himself.


    “Am sorry, I didn’t know what came over me, I shouldn’t have pped you”Ang pleaded to fold her hand together.


    “Am not in any way angry at you, is okay, but no one can force me to go and beg those people” Romeo concluded.


    “What’s your problem Romeo, I never know you can be this difficult to get, just try to have a rethink, please. They are your parent” Pam said.


    “Will you girl’s leave me alone, this is my life, and I know what’s suitable for me, I can take care of myself. That’s fine by me” Romeo said and point a finger at them both.


    “You’ve gone mad Romeo, why are you behaving like this. I never think you can be so disrespectful, what’s your problem. I will p you, I will continue from where Ang stopped if you don’t stop this, are you out of your mind, have you lost it”Pam yelled and hold his cor.


    “No Pam, we shouldn’t be treating him like this, I think we should try and reason from his side.


    He must have felt abandoned for him to have made our minds.


    Please let take it easy with him. pping or hitting him won’t change anything. If he is stubborn and we are then who will pacify each other.


    Please am begging you” Ang said and hold Pam.


    “You girls can continue to do all you wanted, but I will never change my mind. I am the only one who can decide for my life.  Get that”Romeo said and freed himself from Pam.


    “We are sorry, but you are just so stubborn and you know am also a good one at that, I was thinking I should fight fire with fire, I just don’t know why you are refusing this.


    To err is human to forgive is divine” Pam said.


    “Yes Pam his right, you shouldn’t dwell in your past. Let’s focus on the future”Ang said.


    “And that’s what am trying to do, I don’t want to dwell in my past.  They are my past, I want to focus on my future”Romeo said.


    “That’s means you’ve made up your mind, it’s cool, then we should close the chapter, meet me in the studio if you wish toe, “Pam said with teary eyes and leave.


    “Romeo, why don’t you have a rethink, they are your parent, “Ang said.


    “I told you not to speak about them. I know they aren’t ready to see me, not to Know if I live, so why should I waste my precious time on the”Romeo said.


    “Okay I am also going to the studio, you should join us. We have just three days left.


    I don’t want us to lose like we didst year. Please”Ang said and leave.


    “I am sorry Pam, this is the first time you asked me for something.


    And I couldn’t do it, I just couldn’t forgive my parent.


    I felt bad for refusing my friends but what could I have done.


    Those people shouldn’t be forgiven “Romeo weeps and wipes his tears.


    Studio


    Pam POV


    “Now guys, I want you all to show me whatever you’ve learned so far, I want to see the chance we stand for winning.


    You all know St Louis is part of the best college. They alwayspete with our college, and they would be participating in this also.


    So we need to work hard.


    Form a roll. Now I want all of you to put on a straight face. Look focused and determine. Breath In and breath out” I said directing her mate on what to do.


    Romeo entered. They are all putting on a straight face.


    “Why are you all looking so serious. Guys we can’t do normal participation and win with the few days we have left”Romeo said.


    “What do you mean by that, I don’t get I asked carrying a straight face.


    “Yeah, I know what am saying, you talk about St Louis. She’s very right, they have good musicians among them.


    I was the one lecturing them weeks ago before we were informed.


    So tell me, why won’t they win. So if you want to be better than them. Then I will advise that we try something new.


    We should form a song on our own. We would sing, rap and dance. I already have many songs.


    But I think one will be okay for something like this. We should n ourselves.


    Because if we should start from this normal practice. I don’t think we can win. We won’t have a chance of winning.


    So we should conclude now if we do this and we win, good. If we don’t win, not bad, at aleast we should have fun.


    Well, I don’t mean we can’t win but we should try something new.


    Like we should go for afrobeat “Romeo said.


    “Do you think that idea will work, is just like we want to disgrace ourselves by going against the rule of thepetition”Kiles disagreed.


    “Rules you said. The rules never stated that we shouldn’t sing any type of song.


    I Am used to their rules, just that I don’t go to the stage to perform.


    Everyone here has a different voice or the part they are good at. Some are good in pitch, some chorused, fast or slow voice, emotional voice.


    So if with this we can know who will take the lead, the middle and the down tone. Simple is not a big deal.


    That will be easier instead of trying to match all our voices to them And don’t forget they didn’t call it a worshippetition. Is music.


    We should show our skill’s”Romeo said.


    “Bravo,” One of the students pped.


    The rest also join him in pping.


    “Romeo that’s such a good idea, we will surely have fun,” another one said.


    Now guys, listen to this music very well. So I can know how good all of you are” Romeo said.


    ” The dancer crew should alsoe to aside,” I said without looking at him.


    “Kiles, I guess you will be able to y the keyboard,  I don’t even think there’s a need to y the keyboard.


    We can use the guitar, it will be perfect” Romeo said and signal Kiles toe closer.


    Some hourster


    To be honest the practice was such a boom. The music was wellposed and structure.


    He will make a good musician in the future.


    “That’s song sounds like he was trying to confess his feeling for someone. But who could that be” I thought.


    Why do I feel unease? Well anyone can construct music, so why should that bother me.


    He’s very intelligent but stubborn. I have made up my mind not to speak to him again.


    Anytime he came to me. I will tell him to leave me alone. I will put on a straight face.


    “Pam how was the practice, Is the music okay. Well, it was actually for someone special and close to My heart” Romeo said standing right Infront of me and cing his hand on his chest.


    I see, I have that feeling that the song is not just anyhow song.


    “Don’t talk to me again, and what’s my business with that.


    Special you said! That is your business, not mine. Don’te an inch closer to me again, till we leave this school, and moreover.


    The music you write was absolute nonsense. You can’t be good even if you try to” I said and turn back to leave.


    I look at him and see tears drop down his cheek.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.

    Romeo POV


    I couldn’t believe the person I haveposed the song for didn’t even like it. She confirms everything.


    “Romeo, why are you weeping?”Ang asked.


    “Was I crying, no maybe is my sweat?” I said and cleared my sour throat.


    “Are you okay, what did she say to you?” She asked.


    “Nothing Ang is my song not wellposed. I mean id that song bad” I asked to die of curiosity.


    “The song is cool, I think it wasposed for someone close to your heart, it sounds like a love song.


    You are such a sweetheart, that person must be lucky  Oh! who could that be?”She asked. I weep my teary eyes.
