The empty music room was nice and quiet. This was exactly what I'd been wanting. After putting in my headphones and starting a song at random, I found a nice comfy chair to curl up in and read my manga. The song that played first made me smile.
Such a pretty song, I could only hope that my voice at least sound even one-tenth as pretty when I sang it. Of course, I couldn't say for sure if I sounded good or not since no one has ever heard me sing.
Dreams to dream
In the dark of the night
When the world goes wrong
I can still make it right
I can see, so far in my dreams
I'll follow my dreams
Until they come true
I was singing in time as I let the world around me fade. No one could take this from me. No one even knew that the girl who can't talk loved to sing. Soon I wasn't even paying attention to the words I was reading.
Come with me
You will see what I mean
There's a world inside
No one else ever sees
You will go, so far in my dreams
Somewhere in my dreams
Your dreams will come true
After a moment, I simply set my book down and just let myself get lost in the song. This was when I felt the most free. These few precious moments that I could be alone and not have to be afraid of what others think or have to worry about what they'll do. Here was where I was happy.
Music was the one thing that made me safe. It was the only thing that made me truly happy. When I sang, it was the only time when I could truly be myself.
There is a star
Waiting to guide us
Shining inside us
When we close our eyes
Don't let go
If you stay close to me
In my dreams tonight
You will see what I see
Dreams to dream
As near as can be
Inside you and me
They always come true
As the song ended, I still had a smile on my face. This was the one part of me that I would never ever change. This feeling was one that I wanted to keep forever. This was my most treasured secret; a secret that I would never let anyone see.
But fate often likes to be a major pain in the rear.
When the song was over, I heard what sounded like someone clapping and voices. I instantly froze.
No... Please no... No one could know my secret. My secret that I am just really a defective girl who is too scared to talk to even my own parents.
After finally working up the courage to turn around, I saw who had seen me. Even worse, they heard me. Standing there behind me were the same seven boys I'd just run into earlier. And all but two of them were smiling at me. I'm not sure I even want to know what they're thinking...
