What if. . .

What if (Chapter 4)

Chapter 4

I finally got the perfect excuse to talk to Ana. So entered the music room and she stops playing

“Johnny! What are doing here?"

“You’re really good with pianos Ana"

"Thanks!"

“Hey, about what happen last time at the locker. . ."

"Don't mention it Johnny, I’m sorry, I over react."

“No Ana, I am sorry.”

Then there is awkward silence between us again. But it’s weird; I just feel that relaxed feeling when I’m with Ana. Like there’s nothing wrong in the world every time I look at her.

I asked her if she can play Only Hope again. She just smiled at me and played the piano.

While she was playing, I sing to her.

That moment, I’m singing and Ana plays the music that was the least stress moment of my life. I was relaxed, happy, like me and Ana were the only people left and here we are, just playing with music. In our own little world. 

In my most irrational action, I stopped her; I stopped her in playing the piano and just grab her. Grab her hand. Holds it tight, put her close to me and while me sing to her, we slow dance. I was singing, looking straight on Ana’s beautiful blue eyes and was lost. I was lost on her eyes. I felt something I never felt before. Something’s change in me. I don’t know, I’m not sure. Maybe I was never this happy before. Like this, while holding Ana and dancing with her. I just wish the time would stop.

Ana was just smiling at me, I can see she's not shy; she was just looking straight in my eyes, while I was still singing and I know I was smiling at her too.

And yes I admit it now. That moment, and for the very first time. I liked someone. And it’s Ana. I like Ana. Or maybe more than the word like. I don't know. Only thing I know is, in her blue eyes, I feel and relaxed. 

“Uhm kids?"

That voice! Oh it’s a janitor. Well the school janitor woke us on our fantasy and me and Ana was back in reality.

“Kids its late. Maybe you guys should get home, because it my turn to clean this room."

“Oh yes sir, we're sorry. Let’s go Johnny"

"Hey Ana, I’ll drive you home, ok?"

“Yah sure Johnny, thanks"

So there we are, me driving Ana to her home. Like we're dating. But of course we're not. Well not yet. Now I know I like Ana, I just need some courage to ask her out. 

And I almost forgot!

" I almost forgot. . . Uhmm Ana, I was wondering, can you help me audition for the drama club?"

"You? Drama club? Can I ask why?

“Well I need extra points so I can play for the football team this season. You know, I was point’s short cause of math."

“Don’t worry Johnny, I was really practicing for drama club too, we can practice together, so I’ll piano while you sing again? Is that it?"

“Yeah Ana. That would be great. Thanks. I’m excited I’m doing something with you."
