Running Towards Our Destiny

Chapter 3- Running After Destiny

Myst's POV

That lesson went by pretty quickly. It was Maths and Re mostly just told us what books we needed for the lesson and then started playing video games on a tablet in her lap. The teacher, an elderly man with a small toothbrush moustache, simply glanced at her and then sighed, admitting defeat. Yuki sat on my other side and, due to her advanced mathematics skills, laid her head on the desk, cushioned by her left arm. Noticing Yuki's behaviour the teacher, I think his name was Mr Mcao, called her up to answer the hardest question on the board. She calmly strolled up to the board and wrote the answer in small, neat writing, as was customary of Yuki. Mr Mcao stared at her in amazement and then looked at the board where the answer had been marked within seconds, with no working out. After that he didn't bother Yuki. Re had at that point acknowledged us and now respected Yuki for her rebellious outlook to the teachers.

After class Re had led us back to the Library where we found Tuli and Kitty bouncing in their seats. When we entered they both grabbed our arms and dragged us to the table. When we got there we found a piece of paper with a song written in neat handwriting on the sheet. "So how was your first lesson at Acadia?" She asked. "Yuki destroyed Mr Mcao with brilliance." Re stated happily. "Brilliant!" Tuli squealed, "That teacher always gives out detentions for the most unfathomable reasons! Kitty and I encountered Estella and the class of 10H/B had another victory against her! Quite fittingly to since we were learning about the fall of the Roman Empire." Tuli pondered excitedly. "Well done my friend. You have stricken yet another blow against the dark side of the force." Re clasped her hands and whispered sarcastically. I giggled in the background and the two of them turned to us and Tuli seemed to remember something, "Kitty and I booked one of the recording rooms. We also thought up some names for the band. But either way we should probably head over to the room to make sure that no one's taken it."

She smiled and then raced over to the artistic side of the school. She stopped in front of a building with a big treble clef imprinted above the doorway. "These are the recording studios of Acadia." Tuli introduced before opening the door and stepping through. When we followed we were in a circular room with many people scattered around. Around the walls were several doorways, all of them were closed. Tuli headed towards a desk in the middle of the room with an attendant sitting behind it. She looked to be about seventeen and she had her auburn hair tied back in a ponytail below a shining headset. Her greenish brown eyes twinkled mischievously, "Hey Ezran, how's it going?" Tuli asked playfully. "People keep on coming up to me that they've booked you're room. You might want to hurry." Ezran advised, "And it's going well, how about you?" She added. "I'm brilliant!" Tuli replied and grabbed a silver key dangling from Ezran's hand. She danced over to one of the locked doors and inserted the key. She ushered us in before closing the door. We were in a room with a timber floor a beautiful blue and brown Indian rug. Two leather office chairs sat in front of boards with several special effects buttons scattered along a table overlooking a room filled with keyboards, guitars, drums, microphones, any and every instrument or amplifier you could imagine. Whilst I was floating around in heaven Tuli had begun talking, "-tty and I thought of some possible names for the band, we were thinking either: Hiding from Faith or Running After Destiny. What do you guys think?"

Re was the first to answer, "I vote Running After Destiny. Partially because there's a boyband called Hiding With Faith." She reasoned. Tuli almost immediately called out, "We ain't no boyband. I refuse idea number one." She demanded, her eyes now gleaming dangerously. "Well I don't know about you guys but I think we should listen to her." I stated. A chorus of nods and yeses followed. Tuli snapped back and pulled out a piece of paper. "What I was thinking is that we should sing 'Stitches' by Shawn Mendes. What do you guys think? And do you guys know the song?" Tuli asked. Kitty nodded and Yuki stated, "Yeah, I did it for a Music project in Japan, it was on popular foreign songs." Tuli nodded and they all stepped into the room of instruments. As the other two tuned the instruments they were playing Tuli instructed them on which parts they were singing.
