Ailee

Sitting. The expensive carmera lens continued to stare blankly, like a contest I continued to stare back with the same dull expression. A loud boring monotone voice repeating the same question for the third time. ‘Introduce yourself’ Rolling my eyes I took out a small portable white board along with my favorite black marker and swiftly wrote what I practiced many days in advanced: "Dear assholes,My name is Ailee or if you’re too dumb enough to remember my name, or that it may be easier for you to call me a mute. Want to know why? Not going to happen, none of you’re freaking business. Now I am a composer and a freaking musician. My music will be about anything I freaking want. Okay? And they will be sung by whatever stuck up gets them. Now I've wasted enough of my precious time, screw you all.”After putting my board and marker back, I stood up with a smirk on my face, walking out the interview feeling satisfied by their speechless and angry faces.★☆

Star Light, Star Bright - Mark and Ailee

[gnx-ailee]

Mark sighed a little, leaning back in his chair and stretching. Homework was tedious, as normal, and he was easily distracted, taking numerous breaks to stare out a window or check various social media sites.

He was attempting to balance his chair on the back two legs only when he was startled by a knock on the door, and he ended up falling rather spectacularly to the ground. Getting up with a faint curse, he massaged his bruised back as he hobbled towards the door.

The slightly pained expression on his face instantly cleared when he saw who was standing outside his room. “Oh, hey! Nice to see you again.” He glanced curiously at the white board in her hands, but supposed he’d find out soon enough.

The smile on his face grew wider when he spotted his jacket. “Ah, thanks for bringing it back.” He tilted his head, considering her. “Do you like it? If you want, you can keep it actually.” He had more than enough clothes, and even though he liked it, he didn’t necessarily need that jacket. She seemed to like it, judging by the hold she had on it, and he supposed it would get more use in her possession rather than his. ”Uh… do you want to come in and chat? Or we can just hang if you don’t want to talk. I’m not doing much right now, just procrastinating. Like usual.” He laughed a little, running a hand through his hair as he waited for her reply.

Ailee leaned her head to have a better look of his room. She noticed the chair on the floor as she walked past him, entering his room. She raised her eye brows at him as she sat on his desk, giving him a questioning look, not uttering a single word. Ailee gave a nosy look around the room. A playful smile formed on her lips as she looked at him. Taking out her black marker she began to write. ‘I don’t mind what we do, thanks for the jacket though, I needed to rob one anyway. :)’ Finishing with her smiley face, she showed Mark what she had wrote. Being truthful, Ailee didn’t mind what they do as long as she’s away from her room. Then everything would be okay. Hopefully. Ailee glanced around his room once more, wondering if he’s the sort to hide anything. Or he’s an open book. Ailee looked back at Mark, waiting for his response as she tapped her fingertips against his desk.

Enemy at First Sight -- Minyoung and Ailee

[thexafflicted-blog]

Silent had always been what Minyoung was in her classes. She wasn’t one to show off to much, nor was she too participative. But everyone knew that when it was time for presentations and gradings, the petite girl gave it her all. They had been assigned on a ‘pair’ project. She was assigned to a busty brunette, and seeing that the particular performance would be graded, Min strived for perfection. Correcting her partner sometimes and adjusting with the girl along the way.

As they were graded and Min corrected her partner one last time, she sighed in relief as she heard the bell ring, signifying it was the end of their period. Reverting back to her straight and silent facade, Min made a move to go to her belongings when she was roughly shoved against a wall.

She was pretty sure it might bruise or hurt a bit later, but she was used to physical beatings, with the group of ‘friends’ she’d hung out before. Shrugging herself mentally at her reverie, Min raises an eyebrow as her partner writes furiously on the white board they had used for their presentation. What was her name again? It was at the tip of her tongue and for some reason, she can’t remember it.

Glancing at what the girl wrote impassively, Min drops her own white board and marker on the floor, refusing to play along with the idiotic game the girl was playing and says coldly, “I’m sorry, but what was your name again?”

That was Min. Distant, insulting and yet polite.

[gnx-ailee]

Ailee glared at Minyoung. This girl was really starting to annoy her. Didn’t her parents ever thought her at all to never mess with a mute. she may refuse to talk but that doesn’t mean she wont ‘accidentally’ collide her fist into Minyoung’s face.taking deep breaths Ailee tried to attempt to calm herself down or else things will start to get messy. Ailee watched Minyoung’s actions for a moment, clenching her knuckles.Trying to remain calm wasn’t working.At all.closing her eyes for a brief second. She began to white on her portable white board.

'Listen here, I don't want to deal with scum like you, okay? my name is Ailee, you little tramp!'

Ailee wrote angrily. If this girl keeps annoying her the way she is now, she will make sure she regrets it later. Ailee smirked to herself, the things she could do to her. She could make her life a living hell. There’s no doubt about it, she will make this her priority to make sure this girl will be punished. No matter what the cost comes to. She will ruin Minyoung.

♋Secret Code♋ Jongsuk and Ailee

It was a nice warm sunny day, with a slight breeze. The kind that would make you want to lie down on the sun all day. But for Ailee? She was stuck in therapy. Speech therapy to be precise. It was boring. It really was. Her therapist should give up all together on her because Ailee knows she won’t talk for no one. In her speech therapy. There was one other student. Lee Jongsuk. She knows him because he too, sadly, is being forced into this class.

The therapist tried to make her talk, in return Ailee rolled hey eyes. While Jongsuk declared that he knows two languages perfectly well. In Ailee's eye’s, she seen that the therapist probably regrets working with them. It was funny though, in a way, when she slightly lost it and sent them out for lunch.

So there Ailee was, lying with her back against a tree, eyes closed taking in the fresh air that isn't already corrupted with pollution. Jongsuk leaning his back against the bench, as he ate his lunch. Her portable white board on her lap, ready, if necessary is she was to be engaged into a conversation.

[gndeunji-deactivated20140710]

Krystal couldn’t see why Ailee was being so mad at her; she was the one who had found her lost property, not stolen it. “I know it’s yours, it says Ailee in there,” she pointed out gently. Trying not to stoop to the anger she knew Ailee had, Krystal couldn’t help but slightly be ticked off by the attitude the girl showed. “Well, I was going to give it back to you, but it seems like I don’t need to, now. A proper apology or a thank you would be nice, you know,” she responded to the words on the white board. She never understood why Ailee needed a whiteboard when her facial emotions were so on point to what she wanted to say and how she was feeling that the whiteboard could almost be regarded as useless. 

[gnx-ailee]

Ailee rolled her eyes as she listened to Krystal speak. Even though she was annoyed by what she had done, she still had a point. No matter how much she hates to apologize, her actions were uncalled for. Sighing, Ailee began to write on her portable white board  rather forcefully.

'Fine, I'm sorry.'

Ailee never usually apologizes to anyone. but she knew she needed to make at least one friend.Maybe this could be a new start for her? maybe not? But at least she could say she attempted it.

Curiosity Killed The Cat ; Nana & Ailee

Nana groans at the sudden impact as she falls to the floor of the corridors “I am so sorry, I swear I didn’t see you there” looking up, she sees a petite girl who seemed pretty furious at her. She shut her eyes, expecting to be hit with a string of profanities from the other but after a few seconds of silence, she peeks an eye open, confused as she sees the girl scribbling on her whiteboard, quite violently, might she add. “W-what are you doing?” A few more seconds of silence passed with only the sound of the marker screeching on the whiteboard was heard. The other girl lifts the white board and Nana begins to read it carefully. 

"Are you blind or do you have a death wish?" she sees the girls eyes flare up as she stares at her. If looks could kill, Nana would probably be dead by now. The board had other words on it too—words that Nana would prefer not to say. "I’m really sorry I was rushing and I didn’t see yo—why are you writing on a white board? Is it a thing now? Am I outdated? Goodness me, I have to start catching up to you guys!" The other girl had been scribbling something else on her whiteboard once again, leaving Nana to ramble about being old fashioned and panicking on the little things.  She was once again silenced by the girl holding up her whiteboard. “Why don’t you just shut up and get away from me.” That had left Nana completely stunned, she watches as the other girl walk away from her, her brows furrowed as she frowned. “Someone’s grumpy.”

[gnx-ailee]

Ailee was angry. Beyond angry after the incident. She couldn’t believe how stupid that girl was. Couldn’t she see that she was not in the mood to even engage in a pathetic conversation. Ailee walked away annoyed, she couldn’t stand her any longer. Clenching her hands around her white board, trying to calm her self down. Ailee’s eyes landed on the library. ‘Perfect…’ she thought. Ailee walked in the library and walked down the isles. Her finger tips caressing each book she passes. Finally she was alone. Sitting down, Ailee places her white board down on the table and begins to read. Finally at peace.

Of Rainy Days and Sunshine || Zhou Mi x Ailee

Zhou Mi was settled at a table in the middle of his favourite cafe, a book in hand and a latte placed on the table in front of him. His eyes skimmed over the pages before turning them, the man focused on the novel. 

He glanced up from his novel for a moment however and looked around, his eyes catching sight of the rain in the window. He sighed. It hadn’t been raining when he left, which he found himself lucky for. He didn’t want to walk back in the rain while wearing a white button down dress shirt and a black vest, despite the jacket that hung off of the back of his chair. 

He reached in front of him and grabbed the cup that was sitting there, bringing it to his mouth and blowing on it. His latte was still too hot for him to even think about drinking it, his arm lowering and placing it back down. He shifted slightly, folding his right leg over the left, shifting in his seat to adjust his body to his new seating position, and brought the book back up to continue reading it. 

Every time the chime would go off indicating that someone had walked in, Zhou Mi found himself glancing up from his novel to see who it was, because sometimes, he wished it was him. He shook his head at that thought though. Cafes weren’t his kind of thing.

A small girl came running in next, the poor girl soaked from head to toe. Watching as not a single person batted an eye to the girl’s existence, Zhou Mi closed his book after placing a bookmark in it so as to not lose his page, he placed the book down on the table next to his latte before getting up and grabbing his jacket. He walked across the cafe from where he was sitting to where the girl was standing. A small sigh left him when he noticed she hadn’t worn a jacket or brought an umbrella, leaving her completely vulnerable to the rain.

Upon reaching the girl, he blinked. Oh, it was Ailee. Zhou Mi and Ailee were on good terms with each other, and one might even call them friends. He was a relatively easy person to get along with, so it was no surprise. 

"Silly girl." He said with a smile, moving to throw xhis jacket over her shoulders. "What are you doing out without a jacket? Or an umbrella even?" He wasn’t one to be scolding however, the man never travelling with an umbrella.

[gnx-ailee]

It was a long and boring as Ailee sat in her room, staring at her computer screen. Tapping her finger tips against her desk. Impatiently waiting for a file to download. Ailee was downloading a system that could help her hack into other systems if she pleased. It was quite easy but to get it it takes a lot of patiences with Ailee did not have. She’s been staring at her computer screen for the past 8 hours. That’s not even mentioning the other hours she spent making sure her tracks weren’t traced, which would have to be done again after downloading. Sighing, Ailee drank the last drop of her coffee and continued to stare at her screen. That was going fine until she started craving for coffee. Coffee to Ailee was like an addiction to her. Ailee can’t go without coffee for more than two hours. Trying to ignore her craving, she bit down on her lip as she stared intensely into the screen. Two minutes Ailee stood up in defeat. Ailee glanced at her window. It was a sunny day. Therefore she quickly changed into blue high waist shorts along with a white shirt she left unbuttoned with a white vest top underneath. Throwing on her worn out army boots, Ailee left. Ailee walked in search for the nearest place that would sell coffee. Looking around, she seen nothing. It didn’t help that the weather took a turn for the worse. The clouds darkened, as the sky began to erupt into a storm. Rain pelted down, changing the nice calm day into a tereozing storm. Shaking her head in disbelief, Ailee began to run. She kept running until her eyes landed on a cafe. Taking small deep breath, she pushed the door open. The small chime echoed through the room. Ailee’s eyes scanned the room, landing on Zhou Mi. They have spoken, he is nice but like always, she wouldn’t trust anyone. Ailee rolled her eyes as he fussed about her. After he placed his jacket around her, she took out her small portable white board and her black marker. Ailee wrote down her order, quickly showing the waiter her order before turning back to Zhou Mi. She rolled her eyes again after his comment. Wiping the marker away from her board, she began writing again. ‘What does it look like? I’ve come for my daily dose of coffee? Don’t talk weather, it was sunny when I left” Ailee wrote then showing him, slightly annoyed. She lightend up a little when her coffee arrived. The smell was intoxicating, it was enticing her in as she began to take a small sip.

Enemy at First Sight -- Minyoung and Ailee

Ailee glared at Minyoung, her eyes burning as she stared angrily at her. Today was the 100th Minyoung corrected her and each time she done it, Ailee became more frustrated. It started when the teacher was wrong so Ailee corrected her by showing her the right answer using her little white board. Then Yubin cutted in declaring that Ailee was in the wrong. That went on and on. Ailee felt that Minyoung was doing this out of pleasure to torment her for her own personal game. Of course, Ailee knew herself that she could be slightly over exaggerating the whole intire situation. But It still got on her nerves.

When class finally ended, and she was finally free to leave the annoyance of it all. Minyoung mentioned to Ailee that she might need some tutoring as she’s a little behind. Ailee had enough and lost it. She turned around, glaring at Minyoung as she clenched her hands around her little white board. She shoved Minyoung using her white board against the wall. Swiftly taking out out her black marker she began writing on her white board.

'I declare you my Enemy'

Ailee wrote continuing to glare as she showed Minyoung angrily.

Star Light, Star Bright - Mark and Ailee

Mark didn’t go out at night too often (other than to the practice rooms in the dorms or the roof during those bad nights) but it was such a clear night that he just had to spend it outside. Bringing a blanket with him, he found a good-looking spot of grass that had a clear view of the sky, and he spread it out and lay down to stare up at the night.

Footsteps on the lawn, and Mark sat up to see a girl walking around. He vaguely remembered seeing her move into dorm recently. A relatively new student, then. He whistled to get her attention, waving and smiling at her when she glanced at him. “Come sit with me?” he called at her, beckoning her cheerfully. Might as well take the chance to get to know her after all, and besides, it was late, and she shouldn’t be walking around alone.

She sat down beside him, and he flashed her another smile. “Hey, you’re new here, right? I saw you moving into dorm the other day. I’m Mark, nice to meet you.” He paused, waiting for her reply, but she stayed silent. A little embarrassed, he raised a hand to rub at his neck. “…you… don’t talk much, huh.”

When he was met with more silence, he shrugged a little and lay back down. It was kind of refreshing, in a way. Most of the people here were models, dancers, singers, rappers, people who were open and used to speaking their mind and being friendly in keeping with their idol image, and Mark was used to listening to them ramble. The silence was honestly quite nice, relaxing, especially in the tranquil night. A small smile on his lips, he turned his face upwards to look at the stars once again.

"Oh, hey! Virgo!" He said suddenly, before glancing a little nervously at the girl beside him. "Oh… sorry if I disturbed you." When she didn’t respond negatively, he let himself smile a little. "Do you like stars? Do you recognize the constellations?" A little excited despite himself, he pointed up at the stars. "Virgo’s my star sign, so it’s one of the first constellations I learned."

He glanced over at her again, just to be sure. “If I’m bothering you, feel free to tell me to shut up. Or, uh, punch me or something if you don’t want to talk.” She didn’t respond, and he took that to mean permission.

It had been a while since he’d really gone through the constellations, and some of his memory was quite fuzzy, but he could still point out the major shapes in the sky. Leo was still around at this time, and Hydra, and Ursa Major, and Mark traced their shapes in the sky while talking a little about their stories. He’d always loved the fables that people came up with about stars and the characters the stars were named after, and he shared what he remembered of them to the other.

Beside him, the girl’s head drooped a little, and instinctively Mark wrapped an arm around her to keep her from falling forwards. He guided her gently back so she was lying down on the blanket, then took off his jacket to cover her. A small smile on his lips, he lay down beside her, wrapping an arm around her to pull her closer. It wouldn’t be good to let her get cold after all.

He found his own eyes drooping shut, lulled to sleep by the twinkling stars and the gentle breathing beside him.

*** timeskip *** 

When Mark awoke the next morning, it was a little earlier than he normally would. The sun was just rising, and its glow had dragged him out of sleep. He glanced over at the girl next to him, still sleeping despite the morning sun. 

He hesitated, unsure if he should wake her or not, but he supposed that she probably had classes, as did he, and it wouldn’t be good to leave her sleeping on the lawn alone. 

Cautiously, he reached a hand out to shake her awake. “Uh… You should probably get up. It’s…” he glanced at his phone. “It’s like 7, classes start soon and people are going to be getting up soon…” He smiled at her when she woke up. “I’ll be heading back now, I guess I’ll see you around? Maybe next time you can tell me your name,” he added, laughing a little to show that he wasn’t upset or anything. He was a little curious why she was so silent, but he figured she had her own reasons, and besides she had just spent the night listening to him ramble about stars, so it wasn’t that she hated him or anything. 

"You can find me in 305A if you need me. See you," he waved cheerfully as he started back towards dorm.

He was already back in his room before he realized that he’d left his jacket with her. Oh well. He’d survive without it. Shrugging, he put it out of mind. Besides, it might give him a reason to meet her again.

[gnx-ailee]

After a long and tiring uneventful day, Ailee walked back to her room. Getting a glass of water she didn’t realize she was wearing Mark’s jacket. Drinking her water she began to reflect over yesterday. He seemed nine and intelligent when she listened to him speak about the constellations. Ailee was quite suprised with herself when he woke her up. It was the first time in a while, that she hasn’t been woken up in distress. It was nice. Pondering for a while, Ailee wondered if she should return his jacket. It is his after all. Then again, she could pretend she forgot all about it and keep it. She did like the jacket. Shaking her head, in defeat with herself, she knew the right thing would be to return it. Grabbing her little portable white board she set of. Walking through the corridors, she began looking for his room. ‘305A…’ Ailee thought as she stood infront of his door. Knocking slightly on the door she waited till it opens. With her white board in her hands, she was prepared to greet him.

Suddenly, a hand had taken away the item she had found as she blurted out, “Hey! You know, you don’t have to yank it out of my hands, you know—” Her sentence drifted off into nothingness as the hand belonged to a rather angry girl that seemed rather relieved to have the iPod back in her possession. She must have been the owner that left it on her table. Krystal had no recognition of the girl and tried to recall her name from her iPod as she had remembered seeing the name somewhere as she was exploring it. I know it starts with an A…but it wasn’t like an American name…oh that’s right, it was Ailee! Ailee, that was the name of the owner who had lost their belongings. “Uh, you’re Ailee, right?” Krystal asked cautiously. She thought she had handled this situation quite smoothly. If she had gone with her original reaction of being shocked by the girl grabbing it out of her hands and if this red-haired girl with the rather flaming hair was the owner, things would be pretty awkward, and not to mention, she would be in hot water then. This school had a pretty strict stealing policy anyways. 

[gnx-ailee]

Ailee glared at the girl, as she fiercely put her iPod away. Then taking out her little portable white board and began, writing rather irritated. ‘That’s mine, not yours!!’ Ailee wrote showing the girl still annoyed. She was still annoyed by it it was her iPod, not hers. Rolling her eyes at her she then added more to her white board. ‘Yes I’m ailee, what do you want?’ She wrote asking the reason. Ailee knew she shouldn’t have left her iPod there but this girl still shouldn’t have touched her property. Ailee began to think if hse should report this girl or not. Would it be worth it?

Specialties -- Martial Arts Club

Waltzing into the dojo, donned in her usual usual martial arts clothing with her short hair tied up in a pony tail, she gazes onto the six students who were in her class. Assessing each of them with her sharp eyes, she smiles; albeit a small one, and says. “Good afternoon. The name’s Lee Soonkyu. You can all call me Ms. Lee or Ms. Kyu.”

Her face was then wiped of emotion as she continues in a commanding voice, practically glaring at her six students, “Now listen up you little maggots. I will not withstand any dilly-dallying during our training and I will not hold back any punishments once I catch word that you are using the techniques that we have learned here amongst yourselves, in an illicit fight or with other students.” Soonkyu was a friendly teacher outside of class, but once the period has begun, you could say that you might just have spent the whole period under martial law; care of Soonkyu.

She strolls casually over to them, her face still dead serious as she says, “Now you all now martial arts has many branches and I want to know your specialty; whether it be taekwondo, muay thai or any other form. You would only have to choose one if you are well acquainted with many of them.”

Walking to the front of the class, she continues, “You will introduce to me what is your specialty and then You will also demonstrate the different stances/ You will also showcase to us your what level you are in through a series of punches and kicks using a dummy and a punching bag.”

Looking at her students each in they eyes, she says, “Do I make myself clear?”

Club: Martial Arts

Incentive: Widen and deepen understanding in martial arts and to raise your ranking in class.

Rolling her eyes as she listened to ms.Lee go on and on. She wasn’t really interested to hear what she was saying.to her, Ms. Lee was simply boring her. Ailee wasn’t in the mood to interact with people, let alone show her techniques to the class. She felt extremely bored and didn’t care what everyone else thought off the way she was carrying on. She wasn’t in the mood to even participate but she knew she had to. After a uninteresting period of time, Ailee finally heard her name being called. Her name echoed through the room as she walked forward, now standing in the centre. Swiftly she took out her small portable white board and began to write using the same black marker she alway uses: ‘My name is Ailee, I am a 1st degree black belt in Shotokan. Training, 4 years in Shotokan. And that’s about it, unless you count street fighting :)’ Ailee finished writing with a smiley face, she then showed everyone in the room, making sure they all paid attention and read her board. After waiting exactly three minutes she placed her board down and walked towards the punching bag, taking small breaths. Ailee punched the punching bags using her right then left arm. As hard as she could. The chain that’s supporting the punching bag echoed throughout the room. Then with her back right leg she did a spin kick. Using her right hand she then did a uraken to the bag. Then puched twice using her right hand to the centre of the bag. Gracefully does a right front kick to the center of the bag. As the bag swings back she puts her hands on top of the punching bag, using her right knee, she knees the bag with full force. Ailee turns around amd walks back to her place.behind her, she notices the chain supporting the punching bag, breaks. Making the bag drop to the floor. The sound echoed throughout the room.

PLOTS!!!

"I volunteer as tribute!" —Ailee is the kind of girl who plays with guys and messes with their feelings for pure entertainment. But if you ask her about love? She would simply laugh, or in this case write ‘Ha ha’. Ailee does not believe it in the slightest way, the same way she doesn’t believe in ‘faith’ or ‘Destiny’. She thinks it’s stupid and pathetic. But what happens if she seeks you out, or hangs a poster up, seeking a volunteer to help, so she can prove that ‘Love’ doesn’t exist. Will she prove that love isn’t real, or will she fall for her volunteer? Or will the cards turn and they play her? —- male only student/teacher.

Enemy at first sight. TAKEN — Ailee can get annoyed easily, especially when she’s proven wrong. But what if you annoyed her to the max where she makes you her enemy. Each time you see each other caos errupts. Male/female student/teacher

Can’t fix what’s already broken -It takes a lot to make Ailee snap. What if you push her beyond breaking point. She snaps and cries in front of you? What do you do to fix someone whose already broken? Male student/teacher

Roommate intrusion! —Ailee prefers to live alone. It’s much quieter that way. But what happens when she gets a knock on her door and someone’s assigned to be her roommate? Will there be tension or friendship?

Advanced Piano Assignment #4

Ailee took a deep breath as she entered the music room once again. Taking out her notes she began revising them over and over again. Taking everything in. Instead of spending 10 - 15 minutes revising over her notes. Ailee only spent 5 minutes looking them. She wanted more time for the practical. To help more with her performance. Sitting down on the seat, she closed her eyes and took deep breaths before she begun.

Music flowed through her ears as she played. Her fingers caressed each note perfectly. Her whole biedy immediately relaxed as she played. The music filled the room, bringing it to life. It didn’t matter if she doesn’t speak. The notes spoke for her. That’s the only thing that mattered. Ailee played with passion. Anyone who ever witnessed her play would say she had the power to make an entire audience stay silent. It makes her who she is. Ailee continues to play putting her entire heart in to the piece as she caresses each note. Not a mistake has been made yet. The music slowly comes to an end as Ailee plays the last notes. She finally opens her eyes and takes a deep breath.

'Finally…' Ailee thought to herself, with a little smile. For the next 30 minutes Ailee continued to play, only making a few minior mistakes but improved greatly as she continued to play. It was getting late so it was time for her to stop. Ailee packed her things away and walked to the door. Looking back at the piano she smiled. From stress, to passing out, to this. Ailee knew she had improved greatly and she was delighted with what she gained. Ailee turned back and walked out with a small smile.

Skimming over the basics --- music technology

Ailee marched to the room, ready to do some extreme editing. She was tempted to go on a stroll since it was a nice warm day, but she refused to do so. She wanted to finish her assignment and hand it in. After drinking her second cup of hot chocolate, she got straight to work. Editing every little detail. Going over the different sections and running through then all together. It was a lot of work but she was determined to get it finished. No matter how long it took she woule get ot finished.

Ailee let the music flow through her ears as she nodded her heads to the beat of the music. This is what she admired about this class, making music, and putting them together, making it your own. Adding different types of sounds that you wouldn’t exspect together but they sound amazing. Music to Ailee is like a puzzle. You have to find the right pieces and they’ll blend together like art. As she continued to edit she rearranged few tones and made them more loud. While changes some other’s to make them quiet but still make the piece what it is.

It was night by the time she finished the tune. Taking a deep breath, she played her finished piece through, nodding her head to the beats, as it played. Letting tbe sounds enter her ears, smiling as it ended. It was exactly three minutes long, the average amount of time for a song. Smiling at her success , she saved her tune on her USB before packing everything away. Ailee sighed in relief as she walked away, happy that she’s completed her song.

Skimming over the basics --- Music Technology

Ailee walked in prepared, she was determined to finish this song today. After setting up her little work area, she sat down and went straight to work. Placing bmher USB in the computer. She began straight away. Going over with what she already had. She started to get ideas for her chorus. She wanted her chorus to give you the feeling to want to jump around. The feeling of adrenaline. Working away, she added her different sounds and tunes. She worked on this for approximately two hours. Yawning, she finally finished the making of her chorus. Playing everything together.

Nodding her head to the beat of the music, becoming satisfied withher results. She became extremely tired. Listening to it, tiredness seemed to take over. And soon, she fell asleep into darkness. Ailee found herself in a vision, working on her tune, it was wonderful but then everything started to change, the sounds of dying cats echoed through her ears, becoming louder and louder. Her tune now became a horrible low base key, that got louder with the screeching cats. So loud that ot hurt her ears as the sounds closed in on her. Waking up, breathing heavy, she looked around panic stricken, the only sound she heard, a part from her heavy breathing was her tune. Sighing in relief she began to edit more, shaking her head. ‘I really need to stop sleeping during assignments…’ Ailee thought as she continued editing her tune.

Soon, Ailee moved on to making her refrain. These were the ones she usually hated doing. But she knew she had to get it done and over with. But before that, she walked outside for some fresh air. Leaning against the wall, she took a few deep breaths, letting the cold air caress her face. Ailee dranks some water and stayed there for 10 minutes, relaxing her mind. She then walked back in and got straight to work. After another tiring hour she finished. She played her tune all the way through and smiled tiredly at it before saving it on to her USB. Tomorrow she knew, was going to be another long day editing the whole piece. But so far she was happy with her results. Packing everything away Ailee left. Looking forward for the next day.

The next day rolled in pretty fast as Ailee made her way to her room. She was in a good mood today, she came up with plenty of fresh new ideas for her tune. Taking a sip of her hot chocolate, she sat down and took out her USB, placing it in the computer. Tbe sound of the rain tapped away onto her window. Filling the silence with its small but memorizing beats. After a minute or two her software opened up. Giving a small smile, she pressed play to hear what she had made so far. An up beat track started to fill the room, she let the different sounds mix together beautifully, causing a different but unique introduction.

After a short while of listening to the intro, she made a few more edits to in. To give it more of a dance vibe. Then she moved on to the verse. She immediately began thinking whether or not it should be fast or slow, high or low, there were so many things she could do. Sighing she began to listen to the beats of the rain, calming her slightly, she began working on the verse. Adding different types of affects and tones. Mixing it up, she played it back, adding the intro and the verse together. As she listened, she felt that there was something missing. Something important. Something that would give the tune, more of an edge.

Sitting back down, Ailee began to think. Wondering what would give it the edge that is missing. It was already a great mix so far, but she needed the missing piece to mak it stand out even more.

After playing the track over and over again. She couldn’t think of anything that would fit. Yes, there were many thing’s she tried. But none of them would work. Outside the weather became worse. The storm was getting stronger and stronger. So stronger that a gust of wind banged on her window. Ailees eyes widened instantly at the sound, that what she was looking for. Quickly she began editing her tune. Adding new beats, taking away unneeded ones and replacing them with something better. After listening to the tune so far. It was great. A fast upbeat song, that would make anyone want to dance. There vere fitted nicely in with the intro. It wasn’t as fast but it did blend it nicely and you could sing along. Ailee went over the tune a couple of more times until she saved it on her USB and packed everything away. Walking out feeling good with what she had done.

Ailee yawned, as she tried to think of a song that she could make that would be useful. Opening her software on her computer. She began to think.she wanted a fast song but she wanted it to feel up beat. The kind that would gwt everyone dancing. But she wanted people to be able to sing a long wth it aswell. So she sat there, staring at her computer. Thinking. After twenty minutes of thinking and no signs of inspiration Ailee decided to go for a walk in hopes she would get inspired by something.

The sun was shining brightly as Ailee walked. Children laughing, play tag. Mother’s gossiping to other mother’s. Teens lying under thr shadr that the tree’s provided. Dog barking at one another. Maybe exchanging information on where to dig up the best bone. Ailee sat on the edge of a water fountain that was placed in the middle of the park. Closing her eyes, she began to listen. Letting the sounds travel through her. She heard the beat that the water made. A fast paced rhythm. She listened as the ice cream van shut his door. She listened to the children playing hop scotch, the sound of their steps. Most of all, the sounds that the made, their different tones of voice. Opening her eyes, with a small smile. Ailee had her idea.

Walking at a fast pace, Ailee arrived in record time placing her computer on her knees. Her software open and ready to go. She began. She started playing around different sounds, seeing whether or not the sounds will match.

Ailee then messed around with different beats. Seeing if it would match. After a while of messing around, she only managed to get the intro of the song done. She still had plenty of work to do. Saving what she had so far on to her monkey USB. Feeling satisfied with what she had done today, she packed her things and left. Looking forward to tomorrow.
