As we arrived at the concert venue, I could feel the excitement building inside of me. It was a huge event, and I knew that Red was going to be amazing on stage. We made our way to the backstage area, where Red and the other performers were getting ready.It was a chaotic scene, with people rushing around and getting into their costumes. I could hear the sounds of instruments being tuned and microphones being tested, and I could feel the energy in the air.Red spotted us as we entered the backstage area, and his face lit up with a smile. "Hey, guys!" he said, coming over to greet us. "You made it!"I hugged him tightly, feeling a sense of pride and admiration for my talented friend. "We wouldn't miss this for the world," I said.Felix shook Red's hand, grinning. "We're excited to see you perform, man," he said.Red gave us a quick tour of the backstage area, showing us where the performers would be getting ready and where the instruments were being stored. I could feel my heart beatin
As Felix and I walked along the sandy beach, I couldn't help but feel a sense of peace wash over me. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore was soothing, and the warm sun on my skin felt invigorating.Felix and I had come to the beach for a much-needed break from our busy lives, and I was grateful for this moment of respite.We strolled along the shoreline, our feet sinking into the sand with every step. Felix reached over and took my hand, his fingers lacing with mine."Isn't this amazing?" he said, his voice filled with wonder.I nodded, smiling. "It's so peaceful here. I feel like I could stay here forever."We walked in comfortable silence for a while, watching as the seagulls flew overhead and the waves rolled in. I could feel my mind clearing, my worries and stress melting away with every passing moment.Felix suddenly let go of my hand and ran towards the water, laughing. I followed him, the cool water washing over my feet as I splashed in the waves.We played like k
I closed my eyes and felt the hot wind of New York City kiss my cheeks. I watched beautiful couples walk down the seashore with pretty smiles and contentedly holding each other's hands. It was perfect scenery, but not for someone who tried so hard to push the man away whom she loved so much."Hey, pretty. What are you doing all alone here?" said a sweet voice."Stop with the teasing and come grab Lance for me?" I teased with her same sarcastic voice. Max, my best friend since God knows when frowned at me and rolled her eyes."Maybe you remembered something or someone while looking at clouds, huh, Iris?" She smirked and lay down next to me using her white thin blanket. The sand was beautiful but itchy at the same time.I sighed heavily, "Will you stop ruining my day, Max? Seriously, this vacation would be better without your stupid remarks." I rolled my eyes and put down my sunglasses.I'm not stupid. I made decisions that I knew would benefit both of us. And I'm not talking about Max.
"Iris! Look! The Xefora is playing next!" Max squealed and pulled my arm. She was running in the midst of a heavy crowd.I tried to keep up with Max as she weaved her way through the throngs of people. The excitement was palpable in the air as the crowd made their way towards the stage where Xefora was set to perform. I could see the stage in the distance, surrounded by a sea of people cheering and waving their hands in the air. The music was already starting to reach us, a deep bass vibrating through the ground.Max was bouncing up and down next to me, her eyes alight with excitement. "I've been waiting for this for months!" she shouted over the noise of the crowd. "Xefora is my favorite band ever!" As we pushed our way closer to the stage, the music became louder and more intense. The stage was a flurry of lights and movement, and the crowd was completely absorbed by the performance. I was starting to feel the excitement too, and I couldn't help but dance along with Max. Finally, we
As I settled into my desk and started reviewing the notes that Max had lent me, I couldn't help but think about the amazing night I had at the Xefora concert. It was a welcome break from the usual routine of school and studying, and I was grateful to have had the opportunity to experience it.But now, it was back to reality. It was a Saturday, but I had still woken up early to catch up on the lessons I had missed the previous week. I was determined to keep up with my studies and make the most of my high school years.I worked hard all morning, reading through Max's notes and reviewing the material I had missed. I felt a sense of accomplishment as I understood the concepts and was able to answer the review questions.With my work done for the day, I leaned back in my chair and took a deep breath. I was proud of myself for staying disciplined and focused, even on a weekend.As I made my way to Isla's room, I couldn't help but smile. She was always up for a chat, and I was looking forwar
Max was beside me when I wonder what school xefora's members were attending, so I ask her and she replied, "They all go to different schools, but Felix and Red go to Howard university. I heard they're pretty talented, not just in music but in academics too." I was surprised to hear that, it just goes to show how multi-talented they were. "Wow, that's impressive," I said. Max nodded in agreement. I smiled to myself when I remember that red ask for my number yesterday, so I told max about it. "did he message you already?" she asked, "No, not yet." I said. Max seemed a little disappointed, "Well, maybe he's just busy with band practice. Give him some time, I'm sure he'll reach out soon." I nodded, still feeling a little giddy about the whole situation. It's not every day that a member of a rising band asks for your number."by the way, max. how was the band practice yesterday?" i ask her again. She turned to me and smiled widely, "Felix was looking for you, but based on what you just sai
"Max, have you seen that Red and Felix both followed me on social media?" I asked her. She replied, "Really? That's interesting. I think they must have taken a liking to you. What are you going to do about it?"But red told me that felix likes me. I was kind of shocked when he said that to me. "oh my, is red playing cupid between you and felix? I almost thought he likes you too," she laughed."Well, I don't know what to think. I didn't expect either of them to be interested in me. I'm just enjoying spending time with my friends and getting to know Xefora," I replied to Max. I felt grateful for their friendship but also a little nervous about the possibility of a romantic relationship with someone in the band. "Iris, your life is going to be exciting now that xefora came into your life," she laughs once again on the other line."Yeah, I never thought this would happen," I replied, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. "Well, what are you going to do about it?" Max asked."I do
"Anyway, let's talk about something." she fix her chair and sat in front of me. "What is it?" I smiled at her. "I wanted to do this for a long time. This has been a dream of mine and I want to share it with you." she said, "For the past years, I've written a novel called the sea of hope. I wanted to publish it, Iris, but I don't know how."
