 .: Denzel Thompson looked at his watched, then back at the conductor scores in front of him. He is currently sitting in front of the piano, flipping through his conductor scores as he await the phone call from his assistant, which should arrive about 1 minutes later.
"Ring~!" Picking up the phone, Denzel spoke up first, "On time as usual, I see." only to hear a small "hnn." at the other end of the phone, and Denzel could almost see her head nodding on the phone, a pen tucked on her left ear as she continued. "All preparations have been made, I'll be reaching New York in another six hours." After a short chat, Denzel hung up, packed up his conductor notes and stuffed them into his briefcase with a sling. Getting up, he got out of the house. Time to meet the project sponsor.
It took only 10minutes to the concert hall where he would meet with the project sponsor, Mr Smith, was his partner in organizing this project. Project young orchestra.

Christina had been awake since the dawn as her normal routine. She did everything that she was suppose. Got into the shower. Dressed into her favorite pair of black jeans that had a rip in the knee with a blue t-shirt along with a short jean jacket. Threw her hair into a ponytail as she put on sunglasses to hide her aquamarine eyes. Instead of practicing the piano, Christina walked out of the New York apartment that her parents had rented for her, with a blue backpack on her back.
Christina head towards the local high school where she was a senior and part of the student council. She loved to learn and loved to walk towards the school. A few things why Christina had chosen New York to live becaues she could walk anywhere she wanted. Another reason was because her grandparents had signed her up for the a Project Young Orchestra against her wishes. But she wasn't about to go against her grandparents wishes.
She was walking passed the concert hall when she walked into a man. Christina felt back as the man's briefcase fell onto the ground and papers fell onto the ground.
"Oh I am so sorry, Sir!" Christina said in her Maryland accent as she began to pick up the papers that fell onto the ground.

.: Denzel felt a slight push and his briefcase fell onto the ground with a 'thud' sound, papers inside strewn on the floor. Hearing the girl muttering an apology while picking up the papers, Denzel bend down to picked up papers by his feet. "It's alright," he sighed. Mr Smith doesn't seem to be arriving any minute now, and all the papers he had arranged beforehand are now in a mess. "You alright?" he asked, looking up at the girl who had knocked into him. He wondered why a young girl is around the concert hall area, but he did not know that they still have many chances to meet the next time.
Denzel's phone rang and with his free hand, he picked up the phone in a haste. "Yes, Mr Smith, I've reached. Cafeteria at second level, sure," and he hung up. Taking the papers from the girl, he muttered a 'Thanks' and walked away briskly.
Danielle Shalton sighed for the third time of the day. Things are not looking well. Her dad is currently on a short overseas attachment that will span over the weekends, and her mother is not willing to sign the parental agreement without consent and discussion with her father. 'Why is it so difficult to join in an orchestra?' she thought bluntly to herself, sighing yet again. She wanted to hand in the application form as soon as possible, as she know that many others are handing in the application form soon. Not that she is not confident of her talents, but she can't help thinking that the earlier the form is sent in, the higher the chances of her getting in.
Hearing her mother opening the door downstairs, she jumped out of the bed she was laying in and rushed downstairs. One more try, Danielle want to hand in the form after she finished school for the day."Mum, please sign the form?" ~.~Broken Pieces

Christina watched the man walk into the concert hall. That was a bit rude. Rolling her eyes, Christina checked the time on her cellphone. I'll going to be late!!!

Momo yawned as her black cat, Nozomu climbed onto her face, mewing loudly. "Nozomu, get off." she commanded, grabbing the cat by the scruff of his neck and placing him beside her on the bed. "What talk did we just have yesterday, Zomu?" she asked, glaring a little at the kitten. Nozomu meowed and placed a paw on her hand as if to say 'I understand and I'm sorry.' Momo nodded and stood up, stretching. On her bedside table was the application for the younng orchestra. She glanced at it for a fraction of a minute and placed it back on the desk. "I'll do that later, after work," she confirmed, yawning again and going to the bathroom for her 'human moments'. Afterwards, she slipped into her usual bartender uniform (who knew bartenders had uniforms), then decided to wear her own clothes today. She wore a black zipped sweatshirt with a white music note on the back, darkwash jeans, and her famous checkered converse. Grabbing her backpack (full of stuff) and picking up Nozomu, she grabbed her keys and left the house.

Max woke up at the sound of her alarm, and groaned "Why does the sun have to come up everyday?" she asked as she sat up and looked around her room. She saw her waitress uniform laied out of her big Lip chair (i've always wanted one). Standing up she walked over and grabbed the uniform, which was a black button down and green skinny leg jeans. The usual at a Irish pub, she pulled them on then pulled a tie aronud her neck that had shamrocks on it. Finishing out her uniform was a nametag that said 'Hello my name is Blu'. Which it was, just not her first name, her boss thought it sounded better than Maxine or Max.
She walked into her bathroom and looked in the mirror, her hair was a tie dyed color mostly orange. Which made her look like like a freak with her green jeans and tie. Snagging her makeup she started putting on her eyeliner and her eyeshadow, in the colors of her uniform so she somewhat matched. Then grabbed her favorite hoodie off the hanger on the ack of the door, it was black and had purple and orange borids on the back and a wierd swirl pattern on the rest of it. Grabbing her keys and bag she headed out the door to catch the train.

Christina walked into through the High school gates, and headed towards her locker. She went to her locker and grabbed her things and put her backpack away. Before she closed her locker, Christina looked at her reflection. Pulled out the ponytail, and putting the her sunglasses ontop of her head. Those aquamarine eyes glowed softly in the light of the hallway. Quickly, she grabbed her music books and headed towards class.

Kristen ran from her house, her messenger bag flying behind her as she headed down the road on her way to school. Her black hair was flinging into her face and she tried to get it away from her eyes with her hands, which were covered in black fingerless gloves. As she aproached the school, she smiled, looking down at her watch. Kristen went to her locker and opened it, her door covered with band posters. She placed her black, badge covered bag in the locker and took out her music books and a pencil case. With a small smile, she closed the locker and began the walk to class.
