Hollandus Landing Chapter 625: Kalyani Misra part XX

It was the final rehearsal before the big concert right here in Hollandus Landing. We started out just fine with the instruments in perfect tune and everyone's on beat. I had to make a change though.

I mean, I was only defending myself by striking first, right? Okay, maybe I did go overboard in verbally thrashing people like Paulson or Seiya. They do have talent in what they do. Sure, Paulson may not be some popular stud muffin, but he knows what he wants in life. Seiya' band may have less …

"Alright. Enough moping. Let's practice some pirouettes, Kalyani." We went through with the rest of the dance lesson and I thought about what Ms. Barnyachev told me. I couldn't give up making and performing pop music just so I could pay lip service to whatever music critics are out there. I enjoyed playing it because …

"Not to get into so much detail, but I've learned that working with others with different ideologies when it came to dancing. You may have seen some of that with me directly or indirectly." Ms. Barnyachev answered. "You may be surprised, but it doesn't make me less real of a dancer." "Really?" "Yes, I feel …

"I know I write and perform pop music, but the thing is I incorporate some real life experiences for example. It's not like all the stuff I write about are breakups or songs about positive vibes or anything like that." I explained. "I just hate how people discount me because I'm not something like a …

I didn't even bother arguing with her. Sure, I had tons of friends in and out of Hollandus United, but I felt that BeBe was one of those people who told me what I needed to hear instead of what I wanted to hear whenever I was upset. That anger of mine held over until …

"You take that right back, you little piece of s--" "Kali, seriously. You need to chill right now!" BeBe interrupted me before I could give my profanity-laced rant at Seiya.

"What's going on? Thinking about your stupid punk band?" I had to give Seiya a preemptive verbal strike since I know he was going to drag me down. "No, but now that you brought it up, we'll be playing a show with The Originator's Fury next week. I'm stoked about that show and I'm glad …

After class, BeBe walked with me as we went down the hall during a passing period. "Kali, you were scary out there. I've never seen you so flipping mad before." BeBe noticed. "Sorry. I wasn't angry at you. It's just that no one gets to question my authenticity." I told her. "That's one way to …

"Stop it! I'm not shallow, Paulson." I replied after he just insulted me to my face. He just calmly smiled while smoke exited my ears. "You, two. Calm down." The teacher told us. We both stopped and he just turned around as if nothing happened. I can't believe that I was stopped by yet another …
