The Prodigies

29:Their Song

Shane's POV:

"Ang galing ng ginawa nila kuya Light noh?" tanong ko kay Raven pero hindi naman nya ko sinagot o tiningnan man lang kaya napasimangot ako.

"Next performer will be Shane Zedler and Raven Lenon" Tinawag na kami ng teacher kay pumunta na kami sa harap still carrying the small guitar. Etong lokong Raven na to hindi man lang namamansin. Batukan ko kaya? Joke lang syempre. Pero Lenon pala last name nya? Ngayon ko lang nalaman yun ah.

"Singing with instrument huh? Zedler never failed to amaze me" nakangiting sabi ng teacher namin.

"Thanks" I said at nginitian rin sya bago umupo sa isa sa dalawang stool na nasa harap. Raven sat on the other stool. What's his problem? Bakit ba kanina pa tahimik tong taong to?

"Are you okay?" tanong ko sa kanya nung nakaayos na ko ng upo at nakahawak na ko ng maayos sa guitar ko. Tumango lang sya sakin at tiningnan ako, his eyes looks like he want to tell me something pero hindi nya masabi."Do you want to tell me something?" kunot noong dag-dag ko, intead of answering nginitian nya lang ako which he don't usually do kaya tumahimik na lang ako. He started to strum the guitar pero hindi yun yung song na prinactice namin."pangarap lang kita" ang title ng song, buti na lang alam ko kung papano gitarahin yun kay sumabay na lang ako sa kanya. I happen to know the song myself at ang sarap pakinggan. He started the first stanza of the song.

"Mabuti pa sa loto, may pag-asang manalo, di tulad sayo, imposible" He was singing the first line with so much sadness in his voice, ano kayang problema nito?

"prinsesa ka, ako'y dukha, sa TV lang naman kasi may mangyayari" I feel like he doesn't care about this line for some reason.Me and my prodigal instinct hihi.

"at kahit mahal kita, wala akong magagawa, tanggap ko aking sinta pangarap lang kita" he looked at me with his eyes full of sincerity. I'm starting to freak out, hindi ko kilala tong Raven na to, kung sino ka man lumabas ka sa katawan ni Raven!!! Hihihi. Ako na yung kumanta sa next line.

"Ang hirap maging babae kung torpe yung lalake kahit may gusto ka di mo masabi, hindi ako yung tipo nagbibigay motibo, conservative ako kaya di maari" Hihihi nakakatuwa naman yung lyrics nang song, it's as if sinasabi na nitpo yung mga gusto kong sabihin kaya lang hindi naman ako conservative sadyang ayoko lang umamin na crush ko si Raven.

Raven's POV:

"At kahit mahal kita, wala akong magagawa tanggap ko o aking sinta, pangarap lang kita" She's probably the best singer I have ever heard in my entire life. This will be the last time that I will be weak when she's around. I don't want this feeling so I better stop it even if I will force myself to do so. It's really unfair that I'm a prodigy and yet I can't stop myself from feeling this strange feeling.

"at kahit mahal kita" "minamahal kita"- I look at her eyes and let myself give up just for the remaining lyrics of the song

"wala akong magagawa" "walang magagawa"

"tanggap ko o aking sinta pangarap lang kita""pangarap lang kita" I stop from strumming the guitar kaya tumigil na rin si Shane and looked at me na nagtataka why I stop.

"Here's a simple code for you guys!" I shouted before they even get to clap their hands and before they assume that everything is over. Tumingin ako sa direksyon ni Light at Alexa na nakikinig lang sa sasabihin ko. Ibinalik ko ang tingin kay Shane before speaking

"Devour by my own fear which I happen to want. I will surpress the the feeling that lies within. For my flesh and blood is my allies and for you siblings are my enimies. It is forbidden to feel this feeling so I will follow what my mind said and ignore what my heart wants. That's all, thank you for listening" I said and went back to my sit. I saw their confuse reaction, trying to figure out what I mean pero pumalakpak lang na lang sila. Tumingin ako kay Shane na nakatingin sakin mula sa harap, umiwas na lang ako ng tingin and she just walk towards the sit beside me. The entire class I did not speak kahit na salita ng salita si Shane hanggang sa matapos na ang klase. I prefer not to go home early so I stay inside the classroom.
