JOY
I rested my chin on my palm while I am staring at Hiro. He is now in front of all of us because I chose him to be the one to perform after me. I was nervous to mention his name because he might be irritated but he wasn't. He even talks to me first. I'm delighted.
My heartbeat fasts when he looks at me in an annoyed expression but he instantly avoided it.
I didn't expect that he will go to meet my eyes.
Even if he looks annoyed, the impact of his gaze on me was still strong.
"Hey! Stop staring at him. Aren't you still contented on the bruise he gave to you?" Frey slightly hit my arm with her palm.
"What are you saying. I didn't look at him. I'm just looking forward to what song he'll sing. I'm curious about his voice." I reply in a whisper.
"And why? Will you be investigating his voice again if he is Kevin or not?"
"Of course not. What are you talking about --" I didn't be able to continue my sentence when I saw Hiro looks at his bracelet.
I sat up straight to look at him.
I looked back and forth at his face to his bracelet, and I couldn't help but smile.
'Could it be... Does he already remember me?'
"Frey, Sammy, Yassi, Hey! Look at that. " I called them.
"What?" Frey.
"What do you see?" Sammy ask.
"Look at Hiro. He's looking at his bracelet. Look! Could it be..." I say in a lower tone of my voice and look at them. "Does this mean, he already remembers me?" I ask them in an exciting tone of voice but they just raised an eyebrow to me.
"Girls?"
Sammy sighs out, Yassi shakes her head, and Frey on the other hand, massage the back of her head.
"What? Girls, why are you being like that." I ask shrugging my shoulders and pout.
"Oh! He will go to sing now. Let's listen and focus." Frey says, changing the topic.
"Ah, seriously. You guys didn't want to help me." I muttered and, I turn my head back to Hiro.
"It's not like that. We just don't want you to get hurt." Frey says and I didn't reply.
"Hey, everyone. Since Miss. Kim gave us this task then I will dare to sing a song entitled, The Moment."
"Hmm. Sounds new. I never heard it." Miss. Kim admitted.
Hiro starts to sing.
"Every time that I see you
You're stealing me heart
Every moment I share with you
Lik I'm living in a dream
Uhh hmm."
My heart skips a beat in a moment when I already hear his ecstatic voice.
"Your voice is so tender
And your hands are so warm
When your arms are around me
That's all that I want"
And as she continued her singing, my tears couldn't help but to well in my eyes.
I do not know. I'm having a delusion again. I am assuming again that's he's Kevin. I'm going crazy.
"My heart belongs to you
My heart waits for you
What I want to hear
Can't you just say to me
Never let you leave me
Cause the only thing I do
I'll be there for you"
I secretly wiped the tears in my eyes as Hiro ended the song.
I'm so funny. I look crazy crying for nothing. Seriously.
Everyone applauded after Hiro performed.
I look at him and smile. Even though he is not looking at me, I am still happy and give him a proud clap.
***
Dismissal.
After our three subjects ended this morning we are here at the soccer field, sitting on the lawn under the staircase while eating junk foods that we bought in the school cafeteria.
Frey, Sammy, and Yassi are talking about their performance earlier in our music class. Meanwhile, I couldn't help but think of Hiro's image, especially as he looked at his bracelet.
Now it really bothers me a lot. Many questions also sunk into my mind.
'Can he remember me? Why does he look at his bracelet? Moreover, for whom is the song he sang?'
I sigh out loud and take a bite of Burger that I am holding.
'When can I prove that he is Kevin? Hmm. Is he really Kevin?'
"It seems that one of us is saturating thinking about Hiro s***h Kevin. Hmm."
My thoughts stop flying around when Frey voice out, loud.
"But, no lies, girl huh. That was our first time to see Hiro's participating in our class activity. Gosh! I can't believe it." Yassi unbelievably asks while shaking her head.
"That's right. He even talks to Joy first. Gosh!" Sammy added.
"Perhaps, he is guilty." Frey quoted.
"What, guilty?" I ask questioningly, arching my brows together.
"In what he did to you. Look, he pushed you for a second time and even shouted at you in front of many students. Maybe that weirdo realizes his stupidity." Frey stated.
"Yeah. I agree. Hiro also has a little conscience, somehow." Yassi says yawning. "Ah, I'm sleepy. I want to go to the dorm and sleep." She added, sighing, and lay her body on the grass just like she's laying on her soft bed.
"Are you pregnant? You always feel sleepy even when you just woke up." Sammy nags.
"Hey! Doesn't that mean I'm always sleepy, I'm pregnant? Can't I just go to sleep often? And, I'm not Mekeni, okay? IDSTD!" Yassi yell.
"IDSTD? What does it mean?" I ask, clueless.
"I don't suck three dicks." Yassi answer and laugh bitterly.
"Why? Does sucking d**k makes you pregnant? Nutty girl!" Frey says.
"Argh. Whatever. I'm sleepy." Yassi mumble.
"Anyways, Joy, do you know what do we call Keil, Nathalia, and Mekeni?" Sammy asks me with her mischievous smile.
Shaking my head firmly, "What is it?"
The three of them looked at each other before looking at me. "TTP! The Three p***y!" Both yell and burst out of laughter.
"Iw! You guys are crazy. Really." I say shaking my head and laugh awkwardly.
"Ops! Speaking of TTP! Aren't they coming to our direction?" Frey muttered so Sammy, Yassi, and I looked at where her eyes were focused.
In a distance, TTP they say, are walking towards us, I guess.
"Huh? They can see us here? Down the staircase?" Sammy.
Yassi gets up from laying down on the lawn. "I think they are. I met Keil's ugly eyes."
And yeah. They are walking in our direction. But they did not enter there under the stairs where the four of us is sitting. They were just standing at the front of the staircase while looking at us.
"Nice spot, huh." Mekeni quoted while playing with her hair.
"I think they're having a picnic," Keil added and laugh.
"Girls, stop it." Nathalia nags at them.
"Well, what are you doing here?" ask Frey to them.
"May I talk with, Joy?" Nathalia asks and looks at me.
"Why do you wanna talk with me?" I ask before Frey could do.
"I just have something to tell you."
"Oh wait, but you can't talk to her without us. So, say it here. We'd love to hear what you have to say." Sammy says, lifted up her chin.
"I want to talk to her discreetly. Don't worry, I won't do any inappropriate things to your friend and I will not include Mekeni and Keil in our conversation. There's only so much I really need to ask and say to Joy. So... " She replies in a lower tone of her voice. "May I talk to her alone?" She asks.
"You can but --"
I cut Frey's line. "Where are we going to talk?"
