  “I can see you are really happy and exciting?” Said Mr. Tomlin.

  “Yeah, you can say that again,” I answered. “Good and here we are.” Mr. Tomlin replied.

    I look before me and I was amazed about how huge the school was.

“Wow, it is very gigantic,” I said. “Well, this is just the beginning and you just wait when you are inside,” he replied.

    “I can’t wait and would it be good if I call you Mr. Tomlin?” I asked.

    “Gui, it is fine with me.” He answered. I get down from the car and he went to park the car as I rush inside.

    I was marching into the hallways for forty minutes unless I encounter a very huge musical orientation post.

    I marched towards it, reached it in time, but I didn’t know that the musical orientation was into the gym.

    Entering in and I was shocked to see such a marvelous place.

I wasn’t watching where I was going until I bumped into an extraordinary young girl.

    Every other student of the high school roared in laughter, as they saw me and the girl fall together to the ground. “Ow, hey watch where…!” She groaned.

    But her sentence was shortened when she realized that it was the same guy she sang with at Shekinah’s sing-along school camp.

    “You? It’s you! Umm, what the name? Ugh.” Patience stammered.

    “Morning, Patience, it's very nice to see you again.

    Henceforth, here I am,” Patience said. “Wow, it seems like you have a rough life, Patience.

And as for me, Chris Tomlin came to the place I was living and ruined my Christmas vacations. He wanted me to make my own album of gospel songs.

    Therefore, for me to become legendary of Jesus Christ gospel singer, he wanted me to join the musical school orientation,” I explained.

    “Hmmph, I see come on and the orientation of students singing is about to begin.

    Oh, I believe we are too late!” Patience teased as I roared in laughter.

    “Every praise is to our God. every word and worship with an anchor.

    Every praise, every praise, every praise, every praise, every praise is to our God…” All the students sang.

    Patience and I get in the dancing and singing when the music teacher walked in the gym.

    He called up to me because he wanted me to sing the verses.

    “What? Mr. Tomlin, you can’t be serious? I sing the verses, no way!” I insisted.

    “No, I am very serious, Gui. This is your only chance and the beginning of you to be a legend!” Said Mr. Tomlin.

    “Mr. Tomline, can’t you choose someone else to do this?” He asked.

     “Come on, Guillaume, it is not that bad!” Patience shouted on top of her lungs through the noisy crowds and music.

“Coming, Patience!” I shouted back. I dash back to the singing groups while I sing the verses of the song.

    “God my savior, God my healer, God my deliverer. Yes, He is?

    Yes, He is…?” I sang while everyone answered with the chorus.

    “Every praise is to our God. every word and worship with an anchor.

    After I have done applying, Patience and friends walked up to me.

    “Well-well, what a coincidence if it isn’t, Guillaume, himself?” Asked Clementine.

    “Hello, ladies and I didn’t quite know your names? Because you were busy pushing your friend away,” I said.

    “Oh my, yes didn’t. Well, my name is Clementine.” She replied.

     “And I am Clara,” she introduced. “I am Holly!” She answered.

  “Hmmph, nice meeting you, Clementine, Clara and Holly. I’m glad to meet you once again,” I said.

“You are welcome, Guillaume,” Clara replied. I was about to say something when an extraordinary gorgeous girl bump on my back and fall to the ground.

  I turned around and I met face to face with Penninah and older brother by the name of Reuben. ‘Seems arrogant, rude, and hateful.

    Her shoulders always up. Ah-huh, great what’s the meaning of this and why Penninah doing here?

    I hope she had come to take, Guillaume, too to be his boyfriend or partner.’ Patience thought.

   “Yes, so what you think?” She asked. “I don’t think anything.

    Anyhow, we just met and how about hello my name is this and that?

    How is that sound?” I asked. “Oh, my, bad manner my name is, Penninah Lopez. What’s yours? She asked.

    Goodness-gracious, come on Patience, Clementine, Clara, and Holly. I am really hot, I need fresh air,” I replied.
