26 There is someone right?

It was Friday!. Liling and her roommates had woken up before five o'clock in the morning. Xiao Ran helped to boil warm water for their voices, as they freshened up. She chatted with them as they sat waiting for the said time. They were anxious, but to ease their nervousness, Xiao Ran engaged them in random talks which where apparently not related to the audition.

By exactly eight o'clock, they scurried to their departmental building to wait for their head of department's instructions. The other students were there. Some were chatting between themselves, others where quiet, obviously to save their voices for the war ahead.

By thirty minutes past eight, the head of department arrived and assembled the students together. Xiao Ran bade her friends goodbye after giving then a good luck kiss.

The HOD gave a small talk and ushered them into the a hall in the theatre where they sat quietly waiting for their turns.

Liu Wei didn't get enough sleep that night, he was tossing and turning on his bed till morning. By six in the morning, he called Jin Yue to come pick him up.

"What!, Liu Wei, it's way too early, wait don't tell me there is someone you want to see!." He thought for a while, then his eyes widened in amazement. "Yes, now it fix, you do not want to access other schools, only Gahll and you wake me by six in the morning!!" He paused thinking for a second. "Liu Wei, don't tell me... there is someone right?" Jin Yue who was just woken up by Lin Wei's incessant phone calls, screamed.

Liu Wei was finding it hard covering up himself, he didn't know what was wrong with him, but he knew that from the moment he saw her, he really lost himself.

"Yah!, what are you talking about?, how is it too early, we should be punctual to assignments. I want to see you here by exactly six thirty unless I'll leave you behind." Liu Wei immediately cut off the call. He ran a hand through his head and stood up from the bed, walking to the floor to ceiling mirror, he gazed at his reflection.

He never believed he could be like this for someone, someone he didn't even know!. Although most times he tried to stop himself from thinking about her, but the more he tried to do so, the more he drowned in those thoughts. Rubbing his face with his hands, Liu Wei entered the bathroom, he had originally planned to just brush his teeth and later on take his bath, but before he knew it, he was completely dressed and was walking down the stairs.

The house workers were still sleeping, and didn't notice when he left the house. As he stepped out, he noticed Jin Yue driving into the compound. When he stepped out of the car, his face was sullen obviously because he was angry.
