MUSIC CLASS
After our Philosophy class has ended, and our next subject is all about music. I feel so much excited because I really really like music.
"Alright, class. Today, we are going to have an activity for our music class. Each of you will prepare a song. Any genres and language of the song are preferable. After or before you will sing the song you've chosen, you will go to explain why that's your song choice. This activity will serve as your attendance today. Understood?"
"Yes, Miss." We both said in the chorus.
"Oh my! I'm so excited." Sammy squeal in excitement.
"What's so exciting about it? You will just go to sing." Frey bitterly commented and crossed her arms over her chest.
"This is your chance Frey to express your feelings." Yassi taunted and Sammy just laugh.
I really don't have an idea of what they are talking about so I just raised my brows and cackle silently.
Sammy and Yassi wink at me. "We'll gonna talk about this later, Joy." They both winks at me.
Frey just rolls her eyeballs.
"Okay! You have five minutes to prepare." Miss. Kim gives us one clap as a signal.
And everyone now starts talking indistinctly to one another and searching what song they will go to sing.
Meanwhile, I look at Hiro. His face is calm and blanks while he is also searching on his phone a song, I guess.
A smile curls on my lips while I am eyeing at him.
And I know now, what I am going to sing.
**
HIRO
I keep searching on Spotify on what song should I going to sing. TSS. Why not teach instead of doing this kind of activity?
Until 1 minute left, I cannot still find a song.
Can I just not perform, again? I'm used to it.
"Okay! Stop!" Miss. Kim voice out and everyone screams excitedly. Seems all of them are ready except me.
Tss. It's up to me anyways.
"So, does anyone want to volunteer to perform first, should I call your names randomly? You choose." Miss. Kim says as she shoved her hands on her pockets.
"I suggest that you should call out the names randomly. And the person whom you choose to perform first will be the one to choose the person he or she wants to follow." Nathalia at the back recommended.
"Good, idea Nathalia. Okay, I'm going to pick up a name now. Be ready for students." Miss. Kim gets her book record on the table. She opens it and starts choosing the name.
Everyone was quite excited and nervous, meanwhile, I feel nothing. Tss? They are so strange. Why are they so excited and nervous at the same time? In fact, they would just stand in front and sing.
Shaking my head in confusion and I lean my back on the back of the chair.
"Gonzaga, Clafreya will the first to perform." Miss. Kim calls out.
"Pardon me?!" That Clafreya besides the transfer pointed herself surprisingly.
"Yes, Gonzaga. Go in front now and let us hear the song you have prepared." Miss. Kim steps aside.
"I'm not yet, ready-- ah seriously. This activity is crazy. I swear." She muttered in a grumpy tone.
"Oh c'mon Frey. Go in front now." Another girl on her left says.
However, my gaze shifted to the transferee girl.
She was the girl who jumped on me, who ruined my test, and who keeps chasing me on the whole yesterday. In other words, she's the annoying girl! Feeling close!
And I feel even more annoyed by the smile and the sound of her laughter now.
Is she really that happy even if ---
"H-Hiro..."
"H-Hiro! H-Hiro, wait!"
Her voice in begs echoed in my mind.
Even if, she passed out.
I witnessed how she passed out yesterday but I didn't bother myself I helping her. I choose to take a step away.
Why would I?
Why would I need to help her? She ruined my whole mood.
"Oh? I'm next!?" I look away when she shouts a bit in surprise.
I didn't even notice that the first performer was over.
Tss. Now she's next.
"Go, Joy! Good luck!" Her friends cheer her up when she is now finally standing in the front.
So, Joy was her name?
What a boring name. It's too old fashion.
"Hello, everyone. Now, I will go to sing a song entitled Officially Missing You. Actually, I really like music and I have a lot of favorite songs but this one is very meaningful to me. It reminds me of my best friend so I dedicated this for him." She says as her introduction.
But, why is she looking at me?
"This is for you." She added in a whisper and starts to sing.
"All I hear is raindrops
Falling on the rooftop
Oh, baby tell me why did you have to go
Because this pain I feel
It won't go away
And today, I could escape
But I fronted long enough to know
There ain't no way
And today,
I'm officially missing you"
My forehead twitched as I stared at her. She's also looking at me, smiling brightly as she delivered the song to all of us.
'What's wrong with her? Why is she looking at me?'
She's crazy.
Shaking my head as I turn my head away from her. I lean my head against at the glass window, cross my arms over my chest, and close my eyes.
Why this f**k activity take so long to get done?
I'm hungry.
"Oh can't nobody do it like you
Said every little thing you do
Hey baby say it says on my mind
And I'm officially missing you
Oh, hmmm"
She ended the song and everyone gives her around of applause.
"Wow, Joy. I didn't know that you are good at singing. Very good!" Miss. Kim praises her with applause.
"Thank you, Miss." She replies, bowing down her head.
"Oh c'mon. That's basic. Joy, I want to go next! Please select me." I guess it's Mekeni's voice.
"Okay, Joy. You decide who you want to sing next." Miss Kim commanded.
"C'mon Joy, select me now. I'm hell ya ready!"
"I'm ready here too!"
"Shut up Sammy. I raise my hand before you, okay?"
"Well, shut up too Mekeni. The decision is still up to Joy."
"I know. And I know that she will choose me--"
"Mekeni, shut up. Okay? Joy couldn't focus on her choice." That's Nathalia's voice. Tss.
"Go, Joy. Choose now." She added.
"Alright. The next person whom I want to perform is Hiro."
"WHAT?"
I completely opened my eyes and looked at her.
"Did you just you chose me?" I ask, calmly yet my brows is raising.
"Yes!" She beams and smiles widely. "You are the one I choose to perform. Why? Do not you hate it? Or, you are not ready yet?" She asks, flipping her hair over her shoulder.
"Joy, why did you-- argh! I told you to choose me." Mekeni slut at the back protested.
"Mekeni, I said shut up." Nathalia.
"Argh! Fine!"
I stood up. "Who says that I'm not prepared," I say and walk towards her. Now I'm at the front of them.
"Omg! Did just Hiro talks to her?"
"Jesus! This is new!"
"Is Hiro will going to perform? d**k, it's shocking!"
TSS. I just shake my head in the hearing of their grievances.
Yeah, this is my first time participating in the in-class activity, because I really hate this kind of stuff.
"Okay, then. Good luck to you." Her brows wiggle and she goes back to her seat.
"Okay, Hiro is the next to perform. Goodluck, Hiro." Miss. Kim says, I just nod.
Before I start to sing, my eyes take I peeked on her. That girl named Joy. She's still smiling while looking at me, and it annoys me a lot.
'Crazy.' My mind murmurs and looks away.
Everyone was in a state of surprise right now and I don't know why. TSS. They are all damn crazy.
But -- by the way, what song I am going to sing?
Shit, I forgot that I'm not prepared!
I lowered down my eyes and I suddenly saw the bracelet on my wrist.
I don't even know why I have this thing but I can't take this off on me.
Just then a sudden, a song went up on my mind.
"The song that I am going to sing is..."
