Maddie's POV

Our afternoon class has ended. Maaga kaming ni-dismiss para sa gagawing try-outs at auditions ngayon. So other students that didn't registered in any clubs are happy  'cause they' ll go home early.

Matapos kong ayusin ang mga gamit ko ay saka naman ang pag lapit sa'kin ni Avril.

"Madds, sasama ako ah, manonood ako," I nod as my response.

"Sure, tara na. It'll start na," sabi ko sa kanya. Tutal malapit lang naman ang music hall sa classroom namin, madali lang kaming nakarating dun. Pumunta na ako malapit sa stage kung saan nakaupo ang mga mag a-audition. Samantalang sa may hulihan naman nakaupo ang mga manonood o tatambay lamang.

Umupo na ako sa may 2nd row ng mga upuan, pinaka dulo. May katabi akong babae pero nakatutok lamang siya sa kanyang cellphone kaya hindi man lang siya sumulyap sa'kin kahit isang segundo.

Habang naghihintay na dumating ang mga teachers na pipili sa'min, I look around the music hall. Malawak ito, dim rin ang lights, may iba't ibang instruments sa may gilid ng stage dahil hindi naman ito gagamitin. May gitara, piano, drums, violin at iba pa. Marunong naman akong mag gitara at piano pero bihira lang akong gumamit nito. Ginagamit lang ang music hall kung may mga projects sa MAPEH ang mga students. Gymnasium ang gagamitin kapag sa mga sports, and events at Meeting hall naman kapag may announcement ang Dean.

I'm in my 11th grade now. Kaya naman matagal na rin ako dito sa school na 'to. Dad said na sa America na lamang daw ako mag college but I refuse not to. Meron naman college dito, bakit sa America pa. Mas marami daw akong matutunan about business kapag sa America ako mag College. Pinipilit pa rin ako ni Dad hanggang ngayon but my answer always is no. And it'll never be a yes.

"Good afternoon students, magsisimula na tayo since marami-rami kayo, baka gabihin tayo nito kapag hindi pa magsimula." Sabi ni Ms. Hacinto. Nakarating na pala sila. Kasama niya rin si Ms. Imperial at Mr. Domingo. They call us one by one and I impressed by their voice. Ang gaganda. Lalo na 'yong katabi kong babae. Her voice is sweet but low, like she's singing a lullaby for us.

"Wrenz Jarred Reyes, please go to the stage" sabi ni Mr. Domingo. I see him walking upstage. He's wearing a button down polo shirt, the first two buttons are unbuttons. Pairing with black pants and black shoes. He's also wearing a designer watch and I don't want to know how much it is.

Kinuha niya ang gitara sa gilid and sit on the highchair. He strum first the guitar before singing the song he choose.

🎵Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shinin'
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful and I tell her everyday
Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me "Do I look okay?"
I say🎵

I was in awe when I heard his voice. It's fantastic, I can say. His voice is a little bit husky and low but we can hear it clearly and I'm amazed, no, We are amazed by him.

His eyes are close while singing. Like he's feeling the song, every words and sentences he's singing.

🎵When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change 'cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah

Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful, and I tell her everyday
