Who is she to Chase?

Chase Delgado

I knew she was surprised when I insisted on driving her home..

I never intended to , I didn’t even know what came over me

Just staring at her makes me do things I never thought of doing

I glanced at her and smiled

Why do I feel this way? I wondered

Sir Chase! She called distracting me from my thoughts

I turned to look at her

“Thanks , she appreciated and I smiled

“ it is nothing, you really deserved it

Really? she asked

“Sure. I replied. you really do have a beautiful voice .........

*

Where exactly do you live? I asked when I got to diamond block

I will alight in front of the big church. She replied

Why? Do you live in a church?I asked and she shook her head

Then why do you want to alight in front of the church? I asked

“Nothing. she replied playing shyly with her hands”

“Just tell me where you stay, I will drive you there “

Fine! I stay behind diamond blocks.......

We soon got to the her house and I parked in front

“So this is the reason why she never wanted me to take her home at first”. I wondered staring at the cottage house

“This is where I stay. she said with her head bowed slightly

“Your house is beautiful. I remarked “

“You don’t need to lie to me sir. She said and I smiled

So when is the next competition? I asked

On Saturday.she replied

Good! I remarked

Will you be present? She asked

“I don’t know. I shrug”. Can I have your phone?

Sure, she replied handing me her phone

I took it from her, typed my number on the phone and dialled it...

My phone immediately rang

“here . I said giving her back her phone

She looked at me and smiled

“Thanks Chase.. erm I mean Sir Chase . she stuttered

“It is Chase. I corrected, and what are you thanking me for?

“For letting me have your number”. She smiled

It is no big deal, I should have done that the first time we met

“Thanks once again for today , she appreciated opening the car doors

“It is nothing dear, I said and she blushed”

Why is she blushing? I wondered

She alighted from the car and closed the car doors gently

“Wish you success in the final round. I wished and drove off.......

I walked into the house feeling very happy

Did he just call me dear? I thought smiling sheepishly

Who dropped you off? Max asked, he was standing close to the window

“That is none of your business . I retorted”

Really? he scoffed .....hmmmmmmh how will Mum and Dad react if tell them you now see men? he threatened

“I am not seeing any man. I growled “

Then who was that that dropped you?he repeated grinning

“Fine! that was Chase”. I replied

Chase? Which of the Chase? because I am sure it can’t be Delgado

What do you mean? I retorted glaring at him

And why will he drive you home? he asked disbelieving

“Because he is my friend. I replied

“Whatever. he rolled his eyes..... oh lest I forget , Zara came over to the house

Zara?

“Yes Zara! She brought this over. he informed pointing at a stack of papers on the table

I went over to the table and picked up the papers

They were test papers

I glanced through them and smiled. I passed all of the tests

Oh Zara! I really can’t trade you for anything............

Nick Delgado

I stared at the man singing in front of me and Sighed

Why is it so hard to find a replacement?

“Stop. I yelled at him and he immediately stopped

What are you singing? I glared at him

“Sir Nick I was was jjjjusst singging what you assked me to”. he stuttered

“ with that croaky voice of yours”.I frowned

But I............

“Get out. I barked and he immediately scurried out of the room

“But Nick you can’t continue rejecting all of them. My manager who had been watching quietly queried

“None of them are up to my taste . I defended and he sighed

What do you intend doing? he asked , your concert is just in a few weeks

“I will just keep on searching . I drawled

he stared at me for a while and sighed

Why can’t you try using your voice? he asked

Are you trying to taunt me? I asked, how will I sing when I have a croaky voice? How will I sing when I don’t know anything about music?. I yelled

“But you can learn Nick”. he insisted

Learn? I scoffed

Yes you can............

“Shut that hole you call a mouth”. I barked and he shuddered

What will I do now? I wondered, what will happen to me when the whole world finds out I do lip sync ?

Nick! My manager called distracting me from my thoughts

What is it? I asked staring at him

“Look at this “. he said handing me his phone

I dragged the phone and stared at it

What!! I exclaimed and read out the headline

“CHASE DELGADO SEEN HOLDING A GIRL, COULD SHE BE HIS GIRLFRIEND?”

Really? I scoffed

I stared at the image on the screen and smirked

Who is she? I asked my manager

I think she is among the students trying to get into the school”. he replied

Oh! I exclaimed staring at the image, she was ...... beautiful.

How could Chase embarrass me in front of those commoners? how could he?

he made me feel like a fool and a looser but I can’t still get angry at him because i love him .

Yes, I love Chase. I have always loved him since we were young teenagers but he never took notice of me ....

*

Why did he help the commoner? I wondered. I felt so jealous of her angelic voice and wanted her out of the competition but chase ruined everything..

Why exactly did it help her? . The Chase I know had never stood up for anyone but he cancelled the competition just because of one girl.....

Who is she to Chase? .........
