For The Stars Have Sinned (Complete)

Chapter 34

I stayed inside the covered court because I thought Lyndon would not enter. But who I was kidding? It's foolish to think that he's restricted to enter the covered court.

When I saw him entered while panting slightly, I walked away from the crowd so people wouldn't notice that he and I both knew each other. I saw from the corner of my eye how Ate Rosan, like what she did earlier, gave Lyndon a bottled water too and even invited him to the activity.

If I hadn't begged Ate Rosan to let me stay earlier, I probably would have run outside as soon as I saw him walk into the court. But I can't just run away after I asked to stay, right?

"I am the youth minister of our church," Ate Rosan said. She pointed a finger on the decorations around the place. "We will have an outreach program to the youth here in Tawala. It should start at seven o'clock but the worship team hasn't arrived yet."

Lyndon nodded then glanced at me. I quickly looked away and pretended to eat marshmallows. I even adjusted my butt while sitting on the monoblock chair. I saw out of the corner of my eye how the side of his lips curve up into a smile. Both my cheeks warmed up with embarrassment.

"How long will you guys stay?" he asked Ate Rosan.

"Maybe by ten or eleven o'clock, we can go home." Ate Rosan took a good look on his face before she asked him again. "Your name is Lyndon, right? What church do you belong to?"

"I don't go to church," said Lyndon.

"Ah. Is that so?" Ate Rosan said, a little disappointed. "It doesn't matter, this outreach program is a good start for you to know the importance of going to church."

I saw Lyndon's nod out of the corner of my eye as he glanced at me again. I sat properly. I know he's here because I'm here. Then I won't leave until the program is over.

"Rose! It's good you're here."

I turned around when Ate Rosan called someone. It was a girl who I think is about my age. She greeted the newcomer, hugged, and went up to the platform to introduce herself. Lyndon sat next to me so I frowned. But I didn't mind it anymore because that girl called Rose spoke.

"Good evening! I'm sorry if we're late. There was an accident in Dauis and we have to wait until the car has been pulled over." She smiled. "Let's start?"

I just noticed that Rose is beautiful. There's something about her that I can't name. Maybe her voice is just too sweet and doesn't hurt the ears.

"If you know this song, join us. There are lyrics on the white screen if you don't memorize them. Is that okay?" Rouela asked.

I smiled and nodded at her. My smile widened when both our gazes met. She smiled and nodded in acknowledgment that she noticed me.

The team's guitarist started strumming. Then suddenly the drums accompanied the guitar and I was stunned for a moment. I love this upbeat kind of music. Ah, I've missed Vine. Upbeat music is one of the reasons why I stan them.

I'm not sure if the concert is over or not. I sighed. It's Lyndon's fault! Hmmp!

But I froze suddenly when the people present at the venue went along. A few others stood up and danced. Some were jumping up and down while laughing. I was dumbfounded while seeing this scene. A concert would not have this kind of welcoming atmosphere.

Even Lyndon was nodding a little to the beat. I think it was just the two of us still sitting because everyone was already standing and dancing. I was still shy to go along because it's not the kind of concerts I always went to, so I was a still hesitant. But I couldn't deny that music creates good vibes and people's genuine happiness.
