"Good afternoon. We meet again in two days in the same class." Luis said to his students, before stepping out of the class he was teaching.
Ah. Good thing, Luis's lecture is over. Better to go ahead, sit me far from Ernest, than my mind so fucked up because of the tangled thread he drew.
Tira said inwardly with a deep sigh, trying to think that he would not want to get near Ernest for thinking about how bad Ernest was in terms of music, while in his deepest heart Tira felt unsettled and confused towards himself, because every time he was near Ernest for some time, his heart felt unsettled, with a thumping chest.
With the movement she was trying to make as fast as she could, Tira tidied up her writing tools, and stuffed them into the backpack she was carrying.
"Tira.." -...." A slow call from the side, made Tira turn her head, and see the figure of Bram one of the students who is known to be so quiet, and prefers to be alone, and, but has more ability among his classmates in composing songs.
(Changing music means giving new things to existing music. Composer or arrangement is a term for people who compose music, or in English called arranger which is usually abbreviated as Arr. The arrangement is different from the creator. The goal is to add quality to the song and change the song to be better and interesting).
Bram Conley, a student of Tira's generation, whose family has a background in songwriting that is sought after by singers and bands famous for their beautiful works. It makes sense that he followed in the footsteps of his family to explore the world of music. But his reserved and reclusive nature since childhood, made him a mysterious figure, and not many people could get close to him. He is like a man who has his own world.
Ernest, who turned to the source of the voice that had just called Tira, immediately said in his heart as soon as he saw Bram, who was one of the members of the Tira and Ernest groups, who was a member of the group, it was set by Romeo.
"Eh, yes Bram.... Do you want to discuss our group assignment?" Tira immediately answered Bram's call as his hands continued to move to put his belongings into his backpack.
"Yes, right... When can we come together to discuss our duties?" Bram asked as he looked at Ernest who seemed unfocused towards him, but just now Bram could clearly feel how Ernest was looking at him quite sharply just now, with a probing attitude.
"Scan my QR code. You can ask for Janetta and Ernest's QR codes too." Tira said as she reinserted her phone after Bram scanned the QR code of her phone.
As soon as Bram was done scanning the QR code on Tira's phone, without the need for Bram to ask Ernest, the handsome man immediately stuck his cellphone towards Bram, who without saying anything immediately did the same on Ernest's phone.
"After this I will create a group. I'll go first." Bram immediately left the others as soon as he finished scanning Tira and Ernest's cellphones.
"Aduh Tira, even though you are lucky to be in a group with Ernest, it seems that being in a group with Bram will make the atmosphere of your group a little stiff." Anna whispered softly as soon as Bram had moved away from them.
"It doesn't matter, he's a talented guy in music. He will help us a lot in our group. Therefore, I deliberately let him be the head of our working group." Tira said with a smile and got up from her seat, because after this there was still one class she had to take.
"Ah yes, right too. How could I forget that? You're lucky to be in a group with him." Anna said and followed Tira's movements because she also had the same class as Tira, walked away from the class, and away from the others, including Ernest who was busy typing something on his phone screen, sends a message to Erich, who has just told him about the development of an investigation about a mysterious guest who visited the place where Eliana was detained and treated for mental illness.
"If you think about it, it could be your group to be the best during the performance later, because in addition to Bram, there is Janetta whose drumming ability is known to be good. You always get perfect grades on the piano, and Ernest is the new idol of our college, even though I honestly don't know his ability in music." Anna said with her hands coiled around Tira's shoulders who could only smile thinly.
That's what now makes me so worried about our band, because it could be that Ernest will ruin the hard work of the other team members. Hopefully at the very least, he can play one of the musical instruments, even though he's not very good at it, than he can't at all and bring trouble to me, he said, especially if the disguise is discovered by the campus.
Tira said inwardly with a resigned attitude, because he really did not know what he would be able to do if indeed Ernest did not have the ability to play any of the musical instruments, as he did not know, which must be owned by music students like him.
