The Runner Of Lies: Chapter Six

--------------------

Last night was amazing. It was defiantly a night to remember.

I'm walking down the halls until I hear something. It sounds like...singing? And whoever it is they can sing wonderfully. My curiosity takes over me and I go toward the singing.

I hear piano playing as well.  Making a beautiful melody with the singing and piano, mixing so well.

"I should have told you how I really feel, a little in advance. Then I would have sometime to go and work it out. I think I lost my chance?"

I know this song, it's by Charlie Puth Kiss Me. But this version sounds so much better than the original so far.

"For the last three years I just hit it so well. Hoping that you figure out because I could never tell it straight, to your face."

Who is this person? He sounds so good. An maybe he could replace Jack?

"Never have I ever woken up in a cold heart sweat from a dream wondering if you ever say goodbye, if I didn't say it first."

I open the door quietly so I don't distract him. I can only see his back. I keep on walking quietly, so he couldn't hear me.

"I'm done, playing these games. I can't believe what I'm about to say. I won't tell you goodbye with my love left behind. Kiss me before I (f**cking) lose my mind."

I finally see who's singing and my eyes are wide. It's Jack (Aris)? I never knew he could sing so beautifully. And I guess that he can't replace himself huh?

He then looks up at me and he stops playing as his eyes widen in fear. He looks embarrass of what he can do so beautifully, he shouldn't be embarrass at all.

"You never told me that you can sing and play piano. What else are you hiding from me?" I ask as his face is now the colour of a tomato. His feet shifting and hands shaking. "Jack you can sing for our assessment." I said smiling. He looks up at me looking down.

"Aris." He said as I smile sheepishly.

"Sorry Aris." I said as I smile at him as he looks down, looking embarrass. But why should he be? He should be on the radio or on tour. Not at school. "We're you going to sing for our assessment?" I ask as he shrugs.

"I uh...I thought that you were going to do it since, you're good at it." He mumbles, as if he's making a fool of himself. Which he's not, I'll be making the fool of myself if I didn't find out that he can sing.

"So uh, can we do our assessment?" I ask as he smiles sheepishly. I sit down next to him as he blushes.

"Uh, sure." He murmurs as he looks down and adjust his glasses properly.
