Chapter 52 - Ch. 52 Inseparable Duo
"Ah? Can't live without you?!" Kaylee quaked when Adam and his friends suggested a song that they would play to their music battle.
"Yup. The newest song from The Adam's, and I think this song is the most suitable for battling those cocky rock band kids." Adam replied, agreeing with Fritz's proposal.
"Hoi, Adam. Are you sure you're not a member of The Adam's?"
Adam snorted in annoyance that he was tired of hearing the same questions over and over again since The Adam's band had risen to prominence over the past few months.
"How many times have I told you I'm not The Adam's."
Kaylee gave a burst of hearty amused laughter along with her friends, seeing her friend frown. Then she glanced once more at the printed paper which contained the music sheet of 'Can't live without you.'
The Adam's was a group of young people who formed their own band three years ago. At that time, they were still minors and not as famous as they are now.
At first, they were just playing around to form a band because there was a music festival at their school. To enliven the atmosphere, they wore quirky hats with long ornaments that covered their faces.
Their unique and eccentric appearance was the main attraction of the audience. It was as if they attended a mask custom-made musical concert.
Who would have thought their school friends loved their performance and always asked them to appear as musicians every time they held an event.
Even though The Adam's, which consists of five members, was still relatively young, they are very creative. They created and designed their hats for their appearance, and each hat were different designs every time they performed.
And one of them recorded their performance and put it on a private U-tub channel. The number of viewers and subscribers increased every minute, attracting several famous music producers in a short time.
Long story short, this music producer recruited this band. He was willing to become The Adam's private agency to introduce their music and unique appearance to the world.
Most of Kaylee's friends envy The Adam's members because they were all recruited instantly by one of the country's most prominent entertainment agencies.
They made baseless assumptions that The Adam's had a big whale channel to join the showbiz and how lucky they were because they get contracted effortlessly.
But only Kaylee knows how much struggle each member of The Adam's has to get to this point. Some of them were having headaches thinking about the next hat designs, while the others spent a lot of time creating an original song to the point he disregarded his school lessons.
Nevertheless, they never failed in their studies and passed each school exam remarkably.
How did Kaylee know about all of this? That's because Nicholas Larson is the lead guitarist of The Adam's. Nick often asked Wendy and Kaylee for their opinion on the band's newest song before submitting it to their music director.
That is why Kaylee knows every detail of the songs on all The Adam's albums and is very familiar with them.
The only problem is…
Well, Kaylee wouldn't have any problem if she played The Adam's with the piano, but it would be a super problem if she had to play guitar.
On average, The Adam's song has a music interlude filled with guitar solos, and Kaylee would never be able to fill that part. In particular, in the Can't Live Without You, she knows the song's guitar solo's interlude was too extreme for her.
It seemed that after this, she has to go to Wendy and Nick's house to learn this guitar part from her best friend's brother.
"Hey, Nick, you can learn the guitar solo part, right?"
"Hahaha…" Kaylee laughed nervously in response. "I will try."
"Cool. The girls will go crazy over you if you succeed in imitating The Adam's lead guitar player's style. "
"Eh? By the way, if I'm not mistaken, the guitar player's name is… Nick?"
Gulp!
"I heard his name is Nicky, but maybe that's just his nickname."
"Aren't you happy your name is popular?" teased one of her friends.
"Hahaha…" Kaylee didn't know how to respond and could only hear their conversation. "Have you seen Jacob?" finally Kaylee voiced her heart because she hadn't seen the young man since earlier.
She was a little nervous and didn't know what to act like face-to-face with Jacob. Moreover, the man openly confessed his feelings to her. But right now, she was Nick and knew nothing about the boy's affection for her.
Kaylee was a little relieved that she didn't have to meet the young man this early in the morning, but she couldn't help feeling anxious about what to do when she met him later. After all, they had a bad exchange yesterday.
"Nope. I haven't seen him since this morning. Maybe he doesn't have a morning class."
Ah, right. It is Thursday, and she just remembered, Jacob didn't have a morning class schedule. Because of this, Kaylee decided to return to her class and focus on her studies. She preferred to act normal and not think about the young man's confession yesterday.
When her class was over, Kaylee was surprised by Jacob, who suddenly appeared before her eyes making her almost jump backward.
"Jack, you scared me!"
Jacob smiled broadly and thought Kaylee's complaint was just a joke. He had no idea that Kaylee was entirely shocked by his sudden ghost-like presence and thought his best friend was overreacting.
"Give me your hand."
Luckily Kaylee did not have a bad temper like yesterday or the day before yesterday, so she was not too sensitive when Jacob startles her half to death. One of Kaylee's weaknesses was that she doesn't like to be surprised the least. She disliked seeing horror movies or entering a haunted house, which will shock her and make her heart jump out of place.
Luckily, she could calm her heart as soon as possible and comply with what Jacob asked without feeling annoyed with the young man.
As soon as her palms were open in front of Jacob, her best friend settled his hand over hers. When Jacob opened his palm, five kinds of sweet candy fell and landed on Kaylee's palm.
Aren't these all her favorite sweet candies? Kaylee couldn't help but smile realized this young man followed her advice when she became Roe.
"Ho? You smile. That means you're not angry with me, right?"
Kaylee immediately flattened her face and killed her smile to tease her best friend.
"Who is smiling? You saw it wrong," she replied dryly and walked past Jacob. When Jacob didn't see her face, Kaylee smiled amusedly as she tried to hold her laughter out.
"Hoi, Nick. Why are you so petty?" Jacob immediately caught up with Kaylee and put his hand around his friend's shoulder while sulking. "Come on, I'm sorry. I promise I will never spit bad jokes like that again." begged the young man in puppy eyes.
"So this candy is to bribe me?"
"Yeah... ah, I mean no. I didn't bribe you, but I regret what I did."
Kaylee elbowed her best friend in the waist to release herself from Jacob's arms, laughing amusedly.
"Thank you for the candy, but actually, I've forgiven you since yesterday."
"Ha! I don't believe it. Why didn't you pick up my call all day?"
"Why do I pick up the phone from the person who pissed me off?" Kaylee replied in a witty tone while holding back her laughter that had often appeared between her words.
"And you still say you've forgiven me since yesterday?"
"I did say it, but I didn't say I already forgave you when you called me."
"You... Come here you."
Kaylee laughed as she ran towards the next classroom. Their friends who saw their silliness shook their heads and laughed with amusement at their actions.
Their campus atmosphere becomes lively and fun when there was a pair of duo Jacob and Nick. If one of them was not there, somehow, the campus atmosphere felt empty.
It feels like their campus life will not be complete if they don't see the almost inseparable duo.
In the afternoon, precisely three o'clock in the afternoon, Kaylee walked back to Declan's room to continue their supplementary study session. This time Kaylee would make sure not to repeat the same mistakes as yesterday and focus on Declan's assignment.
As usual, Kaylee opened the door when no one responded to her knocking. After making sure no one was there, then Kaylee walked inside.
This time she didn't dare touch the piano without permission and wait well at the long-drawn table. Kaylee has tried to give a little ornament to improvise the song Require to Live.
She did it on the piano at home last night after returning from a quick dinner with Declan.
Kaylee didn't have to wait long because this time, the door opened, and she was ready to greet the man with her usual big smile.
However, the one who arrived at the door was not Declan, but a woman?
