She's Avery Houston, 16 years old and single since birth. She has a younger brother named Arthur Houston. It was the first day of school and to Avery, it's also a tiring day to start the school year. "Don't we have janitors?" "We don't even have chairs to seat." Her two bestfriends complained, Yuna Jackson and Neria Izumi. Avery rolled her eyes at them. It was 9 in the morning and to their surprised, there was no chairs to sit by them. The three of them took a deep sigh before getting a broom and a dirty towel when the teacher asked them to clean their new classroom and the small garden infront of their room. "This is not what I really expected. Phew." Avery sighed as she took her towel inside her uniform's skirt and wipe her sweat. The sun was shining bright at Avery's sweaty and exhausted face. She left the small garden to take a shade. She leaned against the wall beside their classroom's door. She saw her friends followed her. "What are we? Slaves?" Yuna whispered with an attitude. "I envy her life. Sitting pretty while playing Candy Crush." Neria said while staring at their teacher through the window. Mrs. Ventura was busy playing with her phone while sitting in her swivel chair, the only chair inside the room. "Okay, Class, kindly get inside." The three of them got inside, frowning. "You can take your break but be back before 10:30. So, you can help me get some chairs from the conference room. Okay, you may have your break." The three decided to go to the cafeteria to buy some snacks. While walking, they talked and their main topic was Mrs. Ventura. "Help her? Help ourselves, she mean." Avery blurted out. "She'll cry if I was her teacher but I was born, delayingly." "Relax, girls. We shouldn't stress ourselves to an a*s-face teacher like her." "You're right." . "Eww, I'm so stinky already." Avery blurted out after helping THEIRSELVES from carrying the chairs from the conference to their classroom. "I thought we should help her?" Yuna whispered to them while glaring at Mrs. Ventura. "I already hate her." "Same!" . "My name is Avery Houston and I'm looking forward to have a good journey with you, guys." "Neria Izumi infront of you. 16 years old and I hope we can be friends." "I am Yuna Jackson and I'm please to meet you all." After the introduction, the three sat and waited for their lovely teacher to spoke. "I know you are all tired....." "Obviously." Neria whispered causing the two to chortle secretly. "..... Tomorrow is the 2nd day of Classes and I want you to come early. There will be a short program..... Yes?" The three turned around to see who raised their hand and they saw a girl who was standing and has bangs. "Is it true that The Liss will be performing tomorrow?" Everyone starts to giggle except for the three of them. "I can see Michael again after a century of waiting!" "I'll be early tomorrow. So, I won't miss anything including Terrence's smile!" "I'm sure Ivan missed me! Oh, gosh!" "The beat of heat of Xanthite!" "The melody of Anthony's talent, I can't wait to hear!" Even the boys look so excited while confusion was still exposed on Yuna, Neria, and Avery's face. "Calm Down, everyone." The class started to go quiet. "Yes, The Liss will be performing tomorrow." "YESSSSS!" The whole class shouted in excitement. "The Liss?" The three of them ask in chorus while facing each other. . "What the hell is The List?" Asked Yuna as they walked towards the Campus' exit. "It's LISS not LIST." "Oh, what's that?" Both Avery and Neria made a facepalm. "It means Relief or Ease. I think they are talking about music." "Maybe a Band or a Dancetroupe?" "Well, let's find out tomorrow. Let's meet up on Avery's house at exactly 6:30 am, not 6:31. Just exactly 6:30. Do you get me, girls?" Yuna set the time, strictly. "Gotcha, girl." . Neria and Avery looks so bored while sitting on the 2nd step of the stairs. Avery's parents already left for work, driving little Arthur to school. "What time is it?" Avery asked Neria who immediately looked down at her wrist watch. "6:29 am." "Don't tell me that she'll be late." "Surely. It's already 6:30. She's the one who set the time and now she's late." Avery sighed. It's hard when Yuna will be the one to set the time. "Let's call her." Neria took her phone and was about to dial Yuna's number when the door suddenly opened and they saw Yuna who was panting. "Where have you been, girl? It's already 6:32 am." Avery crossed her arms and stood up as her eyebrow was raising at Yuna. "Sorry if I was late, I was busy looking for my liptint." Neria and Avery frowned because of her nonvalid reason. "What are you looking at? Let's go! My curiosity didn't let me sleep." Avery was the last to leave the house. She locked the door and the gate before she hurridly enter Yuna's car. Yuna was sitting on the front seat beside the driver while Neria and Avery sat on the backseat. . Their jaws dropped as soon as they entered the school gate. The whole field was filled with uncountable students. "Let's go to the front." It was so crowded that they can barely passed. "Excuse me. Excuse me." They repeatedly said until they reached the front part where it is so close to the stage. "Now, all we need is to wait for The Liss to show up." . "And when I graduated here, I was filled with confidence as I went to college abroad. I didn't failed my parents and myself. I learnt alot from this school." Their eyes were very sleepy and filled with annoyance when an alumni talked about her experience as a student. "Guess, we'll be spending an hour listening to her boring story." "I agree." Avery turned around and laughed when she saw almost all of the students who aren't listening. Some are busy playing with their cellphones while some of them are sleeping with their heads resting on their friends' shoulder. "I'm hungry." Neira said. "We can't go to the cafeteria, Nei. The C.A.T are roaming around the campus." "Thank you, Miss Valentine." They lazily clapped their hands as the alumni ended her speech. "Now, let us watch the number 1 dancetroupe in Beethoven Academy. FIRECHARMS!" The crowds suddenly became energetic when a group of dancers, wearing cool green shirts entered the stage while jogging together with the beat of the music. "STAMINA-MINA-MINA, EH EH! IT'S TIME FOR AFRICA!" They shouted while hopping. "I guess The Liss is a band." "Sure, it is." Avery agreed. "Thank you, Firecharm, for the amazing dance. Can we give them a round of applause?" The Emcee said which is the Student Council President. "Now, can you guess who's next to give us a breathtaking performance?" "THE LISS! THE LISS! THE LISS! THE LISS! THE LISS! THE LISS!" The Emcee laughed when all of the students started to shout the Band's name. "Okay. Calm down, everyone. Since you are all asking for it. Let me give you The Liss!" "WHOOOOHOO!" Yuna, Neria, and Avery also shouted as if they know who The Liss is. "ANTHONY! IVAN! MICHAEL! TERRENCE! XANTHITE!" The crowds chanted all the members' name as the members prepare all their instruments. "That is THE LISS?" Neria said, can't believe what she's seeing right now. "Holy Peter. Am I in heaven?" Yuna whispered with her eyes rounded in surprise. Avery can't spoke as she didn't took her eyes off the boy who has a blonde hair and a huge hazelnut eyes. He was busy setting up the microphone. He was wearing a plain white polo tuck into his neat black jeans. Every member has a chain that was hanging on their pants. "GOODMORNING, BEETHOVEEN ACADEMY!" Avery had never adore someone like this before. "IVAN, WE LOVE YOU!" Someone shouted. So Ivan is his name? "Me and my fellows will be playing Stitches by Shawn Mendes. Sing with us, if you know the song." Avery's eyes was locked on him as the other members started to play their instruments. "I thought that I've been hurt before but no one's ever left me quite this sore~" The first line he sang brought sensation to Avery's system. HE'S SO MY CRUSH. . "I think I'm inlove with Anthony Willis." Yuna said out of blue while they are eating in the cafeteria. "Anthony who?" Neria and Avery asked in chorus. "Duh! He's the member of The Liss. The pianist one." "Oh, how did you know his full name?" "I overheard it from the two girls behind us earlier. Actually, I know all their names." She proudly said with a smirk "First is the love of my life, Anthony Willis, the one who playes the Electric Piano. Second, Terrence Watson, the Electric Guitarist. Third, Ivan Salazar the Singer....." Avery flashed a wide smile after hearing the singer's name. ".....Fourth, Michael Lopez, the one who is playing the Acoustic Guitar." "That's mine!" Yuna and Avery was surprised when Neria giggled while blushing. "Oops, sorry. Just continue." She apologize when Yuna was frowning at her. "The last is the drummer. His name is Xanthite Anderson and I also heard that students should be careful when he's around since he's a badboy and a bully." "No probs, just remember that Michael is mine. No changing of idols." "Well, girls are girls. Even if a boy has a bad attitude they will keep on chasing him." Avery said, secretly shouting Ivan's name inside her head. She doesn't want her friends to know that she has a crush on The Liss' singer. "Exactly, especially that the Drummer has the most handsome face among them." "Oh, guys, if you only saw how Michael winked at me." Neria let out a moan causing Yuna and Avery's forehead to creased. "Are you sure it's you who he winked at?" "Maybe, he winked randomly and since it's crowded, we are not sure if it's really you." Yuna nodded to what Avery said. "Whatever you say but for me, I'm sure it is me who he winked at." Neria said as she continue to Daydream Michael's face. . "Hey, Ave, let's go!" She looked up to see Yuna who was calling her. "Dad will fetch me later. I can't go home with you, guys." "It's alright. See you tomorrow!" "Bye! Yuna, tell your driver to be careful driving!" She shouted when Neria and Yuna started to walk towards the gate. "Hahaha okay, I will." . It was 6 in the evening but Avery's father haven't arrive yet. She's waiting for his call when she heard a bunch of guys laughing. She turned around and because of her surprise she immediately pulled her bag and stood up while blushing. "Hey, you!" She stopped and slowly turned her head around. "Me?" She mouthed while pointing at herself. "Yes, you." She took a gulp when her feet are unable to move. The 5 handsome Greek Gods walked towards her. "Y-yes?" She can feel her lips shaking. "Hahaha you look so nervous. Don't worry, we just want to ask you some questions." She nodded when the Korean-face boy stood beside her. Her body was frozen and can't move a single muscle like a statue. "Are you friends with the two girls who was also wearing a bracelet like yours?" She fastly nodded "May I know their names?" Her eyes landed on Ivan who was crossing his arms while staring at her. She feel absolutely nervous and uncomfortable because their stares. "Y-yuna and N-neria." Avery saw how the corner of their lips raised, exposing a hot smirk. "Well, thank you..... Miss?" "Avery." She watched them as they walked fromwards her. Avery suddenly noticed the member who was wearing a black jacket. She didn't saw his face earlier. She released a deep sighed and her face was full enthusiasm. Now, she know why the girls are crazy over them.
