This Is My Story

Chapter 8: Hidden

Donny's POV

It's been a month now, after the meeting with her happened. We always chat, talk and see each other lately. I'm starting to feel weird when I'm with her, but too scared to accept the feelings I feel.

I'm currently in my room just looking at old pictures, it brings back the good old days. While looking at the pictures I saw a note fell from one of the pages of the scrapbook. It was me and Keila, way back when we were still like toddlers.

We were dancing with other kids here I was laughing at the scene, while Keila well she's just there focus on what we were doing. Figures she's not really into dancing and I was more fond of it. She's more of a music lover, she plays the violin and keyboard she sings as well beautifully. Only few people knows about her singing, she says she doesn't want to get attentions from anyone, she just wants a ordinary life.

If you were thinking then what do I love to do? Well I pretty much love dancing, its like you're in a different world when you dance, you express what you feel, to ever move you make. The feeling of flying to different realms or what. But I do know how to play the guitar, but I'm not just too good with it.

I saw a picture and turned it and saw a note, saying 'people who dances are people who do or acts more rather than a singer who just state or say something rather than doing what he or she just said.'

I smiled on that single quote. I was having my own world when suddenly someone knocks at my door out of nowhere. I frowned after hearing that well whoever knocked there should have a good reason for disturbing me.

"Hey, Dons may I come in? Its me, Keila." I didn't answer her question, so she opens the door with her head popping out. I grinned seeing her doing that, its kind of cute.

"Why aren't you answering? You're practically just there looking at pictures and reminiscing I guess." She said that with her hands on her waist looking like my mom, scolding for something I didn't do.

"Look at this, do you still remember it?"

"How could I ever forget that! It's the most embarrassing thing I have ever done. I was so nervous back there!"

We talked about the pictures until I felt something like wanting to play a guitar. "Hey wanna jam?"

"I thought you'd never ask." She said that while giggling like a happy kid.

I took my guitar and started strumming the chords of a song that came to my head suddenly.

Do you remember when I said I'd always be there.
Ever since we were ten, baby.
When we were out on the playground playing pretend.
I didn't know it back then.

Now I realize you are the only one
It's never too late to show it.
Grow old together,
Have feelings we had before
Back when we were so innocent

I pray for all your love
Girl, our love is so unreal
I just wanna reach and touch you, squeeze you, somebody pinch me
(I must be dreaming)
This is something like a movie
And I don't know how it ends, girl
But I fell in love with my best friend

(I think I'm in love)
I fell in love with my best friend

Through all the dudes that came by
And all the nights that you'd cry.
Girl, I was there right by your side.
How could I tell you I loved you
When you were so happy
With some other guy?

Now I realize you were the only one
It's never too late to show it.
Grow old together,
Have feelings we had before
When we were so innocent.

I know it sounds crazy
That you'd be my baby.
Girl, you mean that much to me.

And nothing compares when
We're lighter than air and
We don't wanna come back down.

And I don't wanna ruin what we have
Love is so unpredictable.

But it's the risk that I'm taking, hoping, praying
You'd fall in love with your best friend

I remember when I said I'd always be there
Ever since we were ten baby.

We finished the song while looking at each other not one trying to break the atmosphere.

Keila's POV

I can't take my eyes off of him. It's like pulling me more unto him and I don't like this feeling. So I just broke the staring contest and took the guitar from him and played a new song, to lessen the weird moment we just had. If it was a 'moment' you can call.

We finished singing a couple of different songs when I felt hungry. I looked to him and said 'let's eat I'm starving' and heard a  growl coming from his stomach, I knew it he was hungry as well. We didn't ate anything yet, I don't know why either.

We just ate for half an hour or so, I don't know I lost track of time when I'm with him. We did the dishes as well so their would be no mere mess.
We watched TV and he just keeps on changing the channels to what he wants. He stopped at Channel V suddenly and V was playing some sweet songs with a little of jam or pop I don't know I was more into classical musics.

He stands up and let out his hand in front of me. I look up to him and saw him, him smiling like saying 'can I have this dance?' I took his hands while shaking my head and smiled.

We dance there like weirdos, you don't know to every song changes, we danced to different song until our feet hurts and feels like dying. We didn't change a bit I guess still doing stuffs that we both love to do.

Carina's POV

I came to Ramah and visits him, I actually miss him after a few days of not seeing him.
I saw him there at the table with a pen and paper, seated and drawing. I smiles at him while looking at all his drawings. They were simple and cute, you would just want to watch him until he finishes his artworks. He felt someone watching him because his little shoulders tense. He looks back and there he saw me smiling. And he gives me back a warm smile and hugs me as well.

"Di ko alam na nag draw-drawing ka pala?" I asked him.

"Opo ate ganda and saya kaya mag drawing!" His so high spirited today I guess.

"Gusto mo turuan kita? Alam mo ba love kong mag drawing katulad mo?"

I draw many different kinds of heroes for him to not get bored while waiting. I always glimpse of him and sees that his loving what he sees. I gave him the drawings that I draw for him to practice more.

"Wow ate ganda ang ganda, thank you po." He exclaimed.

"You're welcome" I said.

One week after of what seem too long, days passes by like anon.
Donny and I bump to each other but he's with another girl. He introduce his friend to me.

"Carina I would like you to meet my best friend Keila. And Keila this my friend Carina." He introduce.

"Hey" she said. "Hey" I said as well.
This is kind of awkward. Gotta make an exit.

"Ah. Donny I really need to go now. Uhm its nice meeting you, Keila."

"Yeah, nice meeting you too." She replied.

Donny's POV

"Kei's what do you think if we join groups or orgs at school? So that we could meet new friends." I'm asking Keila for joining about orgs so we could perform and all but she always says no.

"Why? Whats with orgs joining anyway?" I asked.

"You know were a little bit, lonely people right? If we open up to them and break walls for us to be with them its kind of hard."

"How can we show them that we could be with them then? Like we have hidden potentials?"

"Lets just hope and wait for that day to come then." She said with a smile of assurance.

When would that day happen anyway? I really don't know. What do you think?
