When my music theory class ends, I catch my father looking right at me as I head out the door. He looks like he wants to say something but a student approaches him and he breaks the eye contact. A look of relief passes his face as he turns away from me. I don’t even bother with waiting to see if he needs something.

My phone vibrates in my back pocket as I head to my next class.

Mom’s calling. I debate whether or not to answer but she’s my mom so of course I answer.

“Hey, honey! Is class over? Was it okay?”

She’s worried I’ll go bat-shit on my father because of the way he left us, how he left Mom. He broke the strongest woman I know and for that, I’ll always feel this rage deep inside me that I wish I could unleash on a weak man. But I won’t. I’ve programmed myself to thinking he’s just my professor and I’m going to pass his class.

I tell her what she needs to hear and end the call before I enter my skills ensemble class. Tyler and Liam save me a seat and feed me chocolate. I have them on the potential best friend list because they are seriously awesome.

Liam is a bit on the quiet side but when he does talk, he has no filter. He blames it on his upbringing. His parents have money and always forced him to behave. He’d save up his energy for a special occasion and be the little devil his parents feared. I’m told his parents still adore him.

Taylor is still to be determined. Alex mentioned his family is dealing with some things so Tyler has good and bad days. I didn’t ask for details because it’s not my place to pry. He’s funny though. They both are. Smart too. And they love music as much as I do. I can see why they’re friends with Alex. They got Alex into loving music. Alex just doesn’t play like we do because he’s more into the medical field.

During the middle of class, I get thirsty and grab my water bottle from my bag. I check my phone quickly and see a text from Alex ten minutes ago. I’m going to grab something to eat when class is over, want something? I thought we’d go get food together after my next class. It’s kind of what we planned after our first lunch together.
