Amelia's pov;

"I'm so sick of it. They irritate me so much that I want to report them to the teacher, but should I?" While we were in class, Sophia whined alongside me.

"Who are you referring to?" Asked as I took my notebook from my backpack.

"Peter and Harry! Aren't they sick of making fun of you? I was in the cafeteria with you when they teased you, so I was able to protect you. What if they had you all to themselves? How will you look after them?"

"Why are you suddenly sounding like my mother? And, based on what happened back there, it appears that, in addition to me, someone else was teased, right?"

"Stop making fun of me. Never will I be able to let go of this so simply."

"Peter or Harry? Who are you making reference to?

"You'll be able to tell when I made the report,"

"Are you certain that you're going to report them?"

"Why do I have to make that up? Since the ceremony for freshmen, they have been harassing us. They had been making fun of us since we got on the college bus in the morning till the school let out. No, they are mistreating us. Today, this must end." She forcefully got up from where she was.

"But they were only making fun of me, why are you acting out like they made fun of you?"

"I'm going to report this for you because you won't open your mouth,"

"Where are you going?"

"To the main office."

"Principal? If you want to report them, you must first talk with our class teacher or the school guidance counsellor, who will assist you. Don't you think the punishment will be severe if you go straight to the principal?"

"Why do I have the impression that my friend is siding with her bully?"

"I'm not taking sides. You know how much I despise them. I'm simply reporting the facts."

"There's also the issue of not tolerating bullying. Don't worry, I'll handle everything." And then I left the class.

Should I pursue her? Was she serious about complaining to the principal, or was she joking? No! She didn't appear to be playing with me because she was so serious. What is the principle going to do about them? What is the penalty for bullying?

"Do you know what the punishment for bullying is?" I asked my nearest deskmate, Jack.

"Did someone bully you?" he inquired, concerned.

I answered, shaking my head, "I was simply curious. That's it."

"The sentence varies."

"What does it depend on? How do you feel about the level of bullying?"

He shook his head and said, "No, it depends on who administers the penalty. The rules alter."

"What about the teacher? What will he do to those who bully?"

"Perhaps... suspension. You sound concerned for someone who has bullied someone. Did Hannah get in trouble again?"

I answered, shaking my head, "No, she's perfectly well. I was just curious."

Hannah has been coming to save me from Harry since freshman year. Many students in our classes believe Hannah is nasty to others and causes unnecessary difficulty. What did he have to say about the punishment? Suspension? He's going to put them on hold? Oh! No! I need to stop Hannah before it's too late...

I thanked him for responding because I don't converse much among my peers. After Hannah, I consider the folks in my tiny circle to be my closest friends. I exited the lecture hall.

As I approached the principal's office, I noticed Hannah exiting the principal room. Was I running late? Did she file a complaint against them already?

"Amelia, what are you doing here?" she questioned as she approached me.

"I came here to stop you, but I believe I failed."

"What exactly are you babbling about?"

"Did you file a formal complaint?"

She shook her head and said, "No, the principal was not present. When I inquired about his whereabouts, they informed me that he is on leave for a week."

I breathed a sigh of relief.

"It appears that the cosmos is conspiring against us," she continued which made me laugh at her.

"Let's go to our class now."

We walked into class with two opposing thoughts in our heads. I'm not sure why I chased after her. I'm not sure why I wanted to stop her. It's not because I'm scared about them, it's because I don't want this thing to become too big and I don't want my father to find out. If he hears something like this, I'm sure he'll transfer me to another university so I'm not helping them here, I'm benefiting myself.

Hannah asked me in class, "Hey! Which instrument do you intend to learn in the music class?"

"I have no idea, why did you ask?"

"Did you truly enrol in the class to learn to play an instrument?"

Is she questioning me? I should be careful or I'll get caught, I reasoned "Of course, I enrolled in the class to learn to play an instrument. Otherwise, why would I waste my time on such frivolous pursuits?"

"Unnecessary items? I know you despise learning music, which is why I asked you to double-check. You're not interested in learning instruments, which makes me wonder why you enrolled in the class in the first place. In any case, you must learn one. Is there anything on your mind?"

Andrew Campbell is the only thing on my mind. He is the reason I enrolled in the class. I can see him every time I go to music class. I can stand behind him and keep a closer eye on him than before.

"Did you have anything on your mind?" she shook me again.

"How about..." I looked around my class and noticed a boy pretending to play guitar to his companions, so I continued, "Guitar! Yes, I intend to learn to play the guitar. What are your thoughts?"

"The guitar sounds great. Excellent. But you'll have to give up your nails to do so." And gave me a friendly smile.

I enjoy growing my nails. I don't have long nails, but I do have medium length nails. My hands look beautiful with nails because my fingers are long and slim. I didn't grow out my nails for nail art or polishing, but I liked how they looked.

"What!? Why!? What does this have to do with my precious nails?"

"You can't play guitar with long nails."

Does it mean I have to give up my nails? No!

"What instrument, then, does not require my nails to be chopped short?"

"None," she responded with a smile.

"What? No! Something needs to be there. I can't cut my nails in order to learn to play an instrument."

I took out my phone and searched the internet for something relating to nails and musical instruments, like I had hoped.

I waved my phone in front of Hannah's face and said, "Trumpet, drums, harmonica, trombone can all be played with long nails, and kalimba can also be played with long nails."

"You may wish. So, what are your plans for the weekend? Are you available?"

"Why?"

"I'm excited to purchase a new violin."

"What happened to the violin you already had?"

"The D string stopped working correctly, so I'm going to get a new one."

"What went wrong?"

"Normally, if the D string wasn't working properly, I'd tune it with the E string because it sounds similar to the D string but the peg for the E string was too tight to tune it. I believe the wood swelled inside it, causing it to grasp the tuning pegs more tightly than usual."

"Use English."

"And, I was intending to buy a new one recently as well, so I'm getting a new violin this weekend using this as an excuse," she joked.

"Will you accompany me?"

"It was my error to ask what the problem was," I nodded. "If I forget and ask again later, don't explain it to me like you did just now. When you explain these kinds of things to me, it makes my mind spin."

"I'm not sure how you're going to learn if you keep acting like this."

When the teacher arrived, we began to listen to his lecture.

    The wedding day, My brother's wedding is today. I'm still in a state of shock and can't stop thinking about it. The wedding itself was beautiful, the guest list incredible and everything. My mom and dad managed to pull off their usual amazing job last week even though I couldn't help them because of my music event. After putting on my bridesmaids dress, I stood in front of my mom and asked, "How do I look, mom?" She said, "You look beautiful, babes. Now, go and get your brother here. The flowers haven't arrived yet." I nodded and walked out of the wedding Avenue to find my brother. While I was searching for him, I saw Mike talking on his phone. Maybe he knows where my brother is.I walked towards him to ask about my brother, but I got called out my name. It's my brother's voice. Mike saw me standing in front of him and asked, "Wh…" My brother called out my name again so I turned away from him and walked to my brother. I told my brother, "Mom called for you." He nodded and wal

    After the lunch was over, Mrs Campbell said, "We still have one last thing to do."Mom, "What is it? We did every purchase and the invitations and the presents, right? Did we leave anything out?" "It's the wedding!" And hit my mom. "Yeah." While looking at my mom, it looks like me and Andrew. Their conversation looked funny as ours did. Cathy asked me, "Do you plan to go somewhere after this?" I shook my head and said, "No, why?" "Then, come with us to the pre-wedding party." "Us?" "You, me, Anna and her friends. It'll be fun.""I stopped drinking. It's been a while now. Sorry, I can't go." Anna stood beside me and asked Cathy, "Is she denying again?" Cathy nodded to her. Anna said, "Actually, we're not inviting you. We're forcing you to come. So even if you said no, you are coming anyway. Moreover, it's my last party where I can still chill with the girls as bachelorette." And pouted her lips."Okay, okay. I'll go"Anna, "I never knew it would work for my sister as well."

    At the bridal dress shop, As soon as I entered, I saw a whole bunch sitting on the couch waiting for me. My mom, Mrs Campbell, Anna and Cathy. I asked them after seeing them, "I thought you already finished shopping for the wedding, why didn't you?" My mom asked me to take a seat beside her and told me, "We finished taking outfits for everyone, babes.""Then, what are we doing here mom?""Because there's still someone who hasn't chosen the dress yet.""Who's it?" When I asked her, she just stared at me. When I looked at others for the answer they just stared at me. What are they staring at me for? I asked, "You look like it's me."They nodded together."I thought you already picked up dresses for the bridesmaids."Anna, "Yeah, we did but you didn't show up while we're choosing our outfits so we waited for you.""You make me feel like I'm important." Mrs Campbell, "Ofcourse, you are important. If it wasn't for you, the wedding wouldn't have happened in the first place, I wouldn't

    After Two yearsAt college, In the music club, I let out a yawn which made Hannah give a smack on my head.I whined at her, "What was that for?" "Why are you yawning in the middle of my class? If you want to yawn, don't do it in front of me. Go somewhere else.""Hmph!" I stood up and walked away from Hannah and freshman juniors. I can't believe I'm a senior now. I took out my phone and checked out the group messages in the music club. I smiled when I saw my old group chat with friends like Hannah and Cathy, it was still there even after all these years. I didn't bother to read anything else, instead scrolling through online. I couldn't remember any new pictures or videos from our freshman year."Senior Amelia!" I looked up and saw who it was. It's Carey, one of the juniors from the classical music faculty. "What is it?" "I forgot to bring my guitar today, can I leave home?" I took my guitar and gave it to her and said, "Go and practise with them. We have an event to perform t

    At college, Andrew asked me, "So you came to the house that day to find information related to the fued?" I asked Cathy, "Why did you say that to him?" Andrew asked me, "Answer me, why are you asking her?" I said to Andrew, "Yeah." "What did you find there?" I whined to Cathy, "Help me, Cathy."Cathy said to Andrew, "What do you want with her? Why are you asking her like she did something wrong? She's the reason for your family feud getting solved. If she didn't do that, your sister wouldn't make her dream come true."Andrew, "Yeah, I know. I'm just asking to know how she found those things and how she solved them." Cathy, "It got solved and everything became fine now. So more questions and don't make her feel uncomfortable, okay?" After Andrew nodded, I thanked Cathy for speaking for me. Andrew, "Hey, are you friends with me or Cathy?" Cathy put her hand over my shoulder and said, "She's my friend."Andrew asked me, "Aren't you friend, Amelia?" I looked at both of them and

    At house, I came to my room after finishing dinner and turned off the lights like I went to sleep. I changed my outfit to something dark and took a cap and a mask incase if i got caught, to escape using it. I put my phone to vibrate and looked through the blinds to look at Andrew's room. There wasn't anyone. Where did they go? While i was looking through the blinds, i got a message from Cathy. "We're eating dinner." Then, i should wait for some more time. I sat near the window and browsed through the online. I smiled seeing some cute funny animal videos. A message popped up. It wasn't from Cathy. When i opened the chatbox, i found it to be Hannah. She sent me, "Are you awake?" I replied, "In bed, going to sleep." She texted back, "We're in front of your house. Come out." "Why?" "Come and see for yourself." I sighed and stood up from the window. I changed my outfit and came downstairs. I saw my dad and mom in the living room. "Hannah's waiting for me outside the house." And
