HELENA

Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin' out
They say somebody went and burned it down

We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel

Nandito na kami sa may harap ng Entertainment Room at napatigil kaming lahat nang marinig namin ang kumakanta.

"Is that Khaki? Hindi naman ganyan ang boses nya, 'di ba?" Kunot-noong tanong ni Urikka.

"Hindi si Khaki ang kumakanta, hon. Ibang-iba ang boses ng naririnig natin ngayon." Tugon naman ni Andreu sa kasintahan.

"Wow! Ibig sabihin may rocker chic silang kasama ngayon?"

Binatukan naman ni Danyele si Garret. "Basta babae ang lakas ng radar mo, e." Nagtawanan tuloy kaming lahat saka hinawakan ko ang door knob.

Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since god knows when

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.

"Kilala ko na kung sino ang kumakanta." Napangiti ako dahil isang tao lang ang pumasok sa isip ko. Ang taong gusto ni Ryder.

"Talaga? Sino?" Sabay na tanong ng kambal.

"She's Ainsley." Bago pa sila makapagtanong ulit ay binuksan ko na ang pinto. Awtomatikong napatingin naman sa'min ang mga nasa loob.

I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it

If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change

"Helena! And Interglot!" Agad kaming nilapitan ni Khaki. Tuloy pa rin naman sa pagkanta sina Ainsley kasama sina Vilhelm at Ryder pati na rin ang kambal kong si Helios.

"Hey Khaki! Ipakilala mo naman ako sa chic na kumakanta na 'yan." Matapos makipag-beso beso at fist bump ay 'yan agad ang bungad ni Garret.

"Si AVI? Sure! Galing nya kumanta 'no? Pwede na siyang pumalit sa'kin or kay JAE as Black Stones' vocalist."

"AVI? Helena said that she's Ainsley." Napakamot pa nga sa ulo 'tong si Danyele.

"Si Ainsley nga siya. AVI kasi ang tawag ko kasi Ainsley Vivienne Iniguez ang full name nya kaya AVI. A-V-I." Pagpapaliwanag naman ni Khaki. "Tara panuorin natin sila." Pumunta na kami malapit sa pwesto ng jamming. Bahagya pa akong natawa dahil kinindatan ako ni Ryder. Si Helios naman ay sumaludo sa'min.

"May balak na ba kayong mag-retiro ni Jager sa Black Stones? " Usisa ni Danrelle kay Khaki habang nakatingin sa nagpeperform ngayon. Mahina lang ang pagkakatanong nya pero dinig na dinig ko dahil nasa kabilang side lang ako ni Khaki.
