1.3 [May] SME Band

After finishing taking care of the lecture schedule, Rhea and I rushed to the cafeteria. Actually I'm lazy to go to the cafeteria and would rather just go home. But because today SME band will hold a meeting, so inevitably I have to stay on campus with Rhea.

"Are you from earlier?" She Lyra came to greet us, she was one of my best friends in the other faculties or rather the only person I could instantly get along with from the first moment I met.

"Lumayan, you're so old? I'm like a son of a bitch here waiting for you." Rhea called for protest.

"And there's May, anyways you meet in the morning." Lyra who did not want to be blamed denied Rhea's remarks.

"What? Mei from earlier diem mulu, I think he has a new hobby, a hobby of daydreaming," said Rhea quipped me, he was like that. If you don't use rules, just say it.

"Oh, noisily." I'm a little scared because of Lyra and Rhea's sometimes vague behavior.

"So, that's a sewot." Rhea said casually with a hint of cynicism in her speech, insinuating. Indeed that's like my close friend, she is indeed a pretty sweet girl, unfortunately she is a tomboyish girl and a little frontal. It's very different from me and Lyra which is arguably much calmer than Rhea and we're also much more feminine.

"Udah, you two are making a fuss. Bosen shits it." Lyra tried to break us, precisely me and Rhea because if it continued it would be even more noisy. Of course because we are both stubborn.

"Yes, yes" said Rhea a little annoyed while returning to play his phone. As for me, just a small nod in response to Lyra's remark.

We were again busy with our respective activities and there was no more chat. This is how we are, each gathering like more filled with inertia, only occasionally we chat and flirt. Because every chat we do, it will usually lead to serious problems or even a storm like that. It was because of Rhea's protest that voiced her annoyance when we started discussing one of the issues that we were going through.

I glanced at the clock on my left wrist, it seemed like my thirty minutes had been wasted just to keep quiet with my two best friends like this. I should've chosen to go straight to the music room and rehearse my vocals there before the rehearsal started.

"Udah ah, I'm going to the music room first. Soon the band rehearsal began," I said as I tidied up some of my stuff scattered on the cafeteria table and rushed towards the music room.

"Yes, the spirit of the training is May. I'm the same Rhea also wants to walk," said Lyra who had also moved from her seat, while Rhea had even stepped out of the cafeteria. He was always like that, excited.

***

I stepped towards the opposite building with relaxed steps, as the music rehearsal room was on the second floor of the building. "Huh, it's exhausting. But that's okay, 'cause there I can sing as I like before practice starts." I accelerated my steps as soon as I entered the building. True to my guess, the training room was still quiet and I was the first one to come.

I put my bag and book on the chair in the corner of the room and immediately sang to practice my vocals before the band's children came. Yes, I was in a band and I was the vocalist in that band.

"Wih, just came straight to be greeted with a melodious chant of cute girl euy." I don't know since when Zayn, the guy in our band was standing in the doorway staring at me intensely. As soon as I realized the presence of others in this room, I immediately stopped my singing and stared at Zayn flatly.

"Kok stop May? Continue is okay." Zayn asked as he walked towards the musical instrument arranged in the corner of the room, precisely in the direction of the drum set and tuned it.

Zayn Ivander Noah, he's a drummer in our band and he's also the one in charge of tuning every musical instrument that will be used for rehearsals.

I just kept quiet while looking at Zayn who was busy with his activities without any intention of answering his question. Because if I answer, he'll keep talking to me and I don't like that. Ah no, rather I'm a little uncomfortable with it. Maybe because this is the first time for me, in contrast to Rhea who has always had a best friend and is very close.

"May? Let's start training," Zayn exclaimed a bit to my surprise. Ah, I seem to have been daydreaming. To the point of not being aware that our band members are complete.

Without being asked twice I immediately stood in my position as well as the rest of my friends and the practice immediately began. We trained long enough and really focused on each part.

"Cook not back in May yet?" again Zayn asked me to speak, even now he looks at me as if demanding an answer.

"May, I'm sorry I picked her up late. A long time ago." Soon Rhea appears with a guy who seems familiar. Ah, it turns out Rhea came to pick me up along with Kara, her best friend. I hurried over to Rhea who was standing near Kara's car.

"You know him Mei?" Rhea suddenly asked as she looked at Zayn full of probing. I don't know what's on my best friend's mind. But he seems curious about Zayn. Instead of answering Rhea's question, I stared at Zayn.

"When do you want to be in them and look at guys?" Kara said quietly reprimanding us who had been silent since staring at Zayn.

I was immediately aware of Kara's reprimand rushed into the car, while Rhea who was still lulled with her own mind ignored Kara's reprimand. Until Kara drags him to get in the car, he realizes.

"Dragon! Lo what the hell? Don't take it like this, can you?" Rhea said with a very noticeable angry tone. No doubt, my best friend is very upset.

"Salah lo yourself, why even look at a guy." Kara said in a tone no less sewot, it seems he was also upset with Rhea's behavior that is not clear.

I just stared at the two people sitting in the front seat lazily. Because I know, I know very well that soon the two will have a fight. Hah, it seems like my day will never calm down when dealing with Rhea.

I let the two children back into a fight and intended to just be a spectator. But for some reason, I suddenly remembered about Zayn. I felt that something was awkward as he looked at me earlier. He looked at me lustfully as if I was a precious prey and he should get, but at the same time there was a gentle look in his bead even though it was faint.

"What am I thinking, huh? Since when have I been this cool with someone else."  I immediately shook my head slowly to condemn my sudden ignorance of caring about Zayn.

"May? Don't you want to come down? It has arrived since then." Kara resuscitated me, pulling me back to the current reality. It seems that I was daydreaming for too long, even Rhea who was busy with her phone looked at me in wonder.

"You must be daydreaming again, huh Mei?" Rhea glanced at me lazily and sneered. That was how he was, easily showing his dislike without trying to disguise it in the slightest.

"Okay, thank you for picking me up." I got out of Kara's car and hurried to step into my spacious yard.

***

From that day on I became closer to Zayn, often spending time alone in the music room. Just like this time, Zayn and I were still lingering in the music room, even though the rehearsal was completed half an hour ago.

"May? Do you get angry if you come home a little late?" Suddenly Zayn asked me, I don't know what the question meant.

"Em. don't know." I hesitated while looking at Zayn.

"Gue want to make sure you walk, you want to?" Zayn asked me carefully.

Ah, actually I was wondering what it was like to go alone with a guy, but today I promised to stay at Lyra's house with Rhea, replacing last week's delayed stay. "Sorry, I can't, I have a promise with Lyra and Rhea. It's not good to be cancelled."

"Okay, maybe next time it's May. I'm going first, you be careful to go home." Zayn nodded in understanding and hurried to his car.

"Yes, you're careful to go home too." I waved my hand as I continued to stare at Zayn until he was nowhere to be seen.
