The third alarm went off, leaving me to at last notice that I felt asleep on the couch yesterday. I quickly grabbed some fresh clothes, made breakfast and hurried to school. I noticed this too that in yesterday's rush I had forgotten to fix my punctured tire. "Well then, only one way remains". And then I put on my helmet and paddled to school. I reached there breathless. But I still ran to my class for the first period, which was maths. All I saw on board were letters. Is this even maths? Oh and also frowning faces. And among them was Dominique. We have only a few classes together. Namely maths and physics. We glanced at eachother a few times between the sums. He popped his eyebrows at me asking me what is it that I'm looking at him but me being my usual self, mouthed at him, "You". That is firting, not sarcasm, Rhyss. And he gave the classic "honestly, stop" reaction while lighty blushing.
When we came out of class to change our books for physics, he imerged out of nowhere and went, "If I am the reason you're late for school, then it must've been a brilliant night..........in your head!", he smiled again while blushing, of course.
"Nah, it was filled with me holding onto the damn seat and praying for you to DRIVE slower!"
"Hehe, ok. I never knew Rhyss Cameron was a scaredy cat"
"Isn't", I promptly replied. Ace then imerged out of no where as well but only he went, "I am Ace Calderone. The new failure in Mrs. Sherman's class". By the way, that's our physics teacher.
"Join me, brother", D informed Ace and they both hugged in sadness. Cute? Cringe? I'll go for the third option, drama.
I thus rolled my eyes at this and they were like, "You'll never understand our pain". We all headed back to class and got seated. Ace and D sat together while I sat beside my bestie, Prach. Mrs. Sherman started her class and I could almost see tears in Ace's eyes when he imitated him cutting his own throat. Drama queen. D suddenly spoke up but softly, "If you dont stop this sign talking then you wont need to imitate cutting your throat, I'll do it". We both then stopped and Ace pouted at Dominique. Physics period continued today for 2 periods, that's what happens every tuesday. It was a good 70 minutes before we all ran into the cafeteria. We 3 sat down together but D insisted and somehow managed to sit between me and Ace.
"So I am coming to your house at 6?", Ace reconfirmed as I nodded, my mouth full of sandwhich.
"Can I come too? My mom and dad will be gone for a date night. I'll be bored"
Since by Ace's expression I already knew he would've politely denied, I said, "Sure sure. The more the better". After that we continued to have our lunch after Prach arrived too. We mostly embarrassed ourselves with childhood memories. And when the bell rang, we all went seperate ways. I and Prach went for History. The last two periods were activity periods. I chose music while Prach chose art. So I was left without a friend for the last 2 periods. To my rotten luck our teacher, Mrs.Zuich, was absent. So you can already guess, all the students were either roaming around or were in the field. I sat down quietly to start playing my favourite piano piece, Nuvole Bianche by Ludovico Einaudi. I kept played it a good 3 times or even 5 before starting to play songs and sing as well. It started off with Meant to be by Ber and Charlie Oriain, then it was lovely by Billie Eilish. I kept playing till I reached the last 10 mins of the last period and played Until I found you by Stephen Sanchez. That's when I felt somebody's hands crawl beside two of mine, that's when I felt warm air crashing against my neck and that's when I heard a deep, raspy voice pass through my ears.
"I was lost within the darkness but then I found her"
That's when I slowly whispered cause that was what I was capable of at that moment, "Glad you're not hitting the wrong notes"
"Yeah, I'm hitting on both the right things", he stopped singing to tell this. But as the line came, I hurriedly asked "the second being?"
He sang the last word of the song loudly, "I found you"
