My So Called Friend

Chapter 11

It was Saturday, the day of the singing competition.

I was backstage getting ready.

As I expected,

You also participated the competition unexpectedly after you heard I was in it.

At my arrival you tried to engage in conversation with me,

but I ignored you as always.

I saw you were talking to some girls there.

But it seemed that you were quite uncomfortable with them swarmed all over you.

I walked over and pushed them off you.

"What the hell do you think your doing?" asked one of them.

The rest of them just glared at me with death expressions.

"You should respect someone's personal space, especially if it's someone you like. When they need space give them space, don't pester them with questions and swarm over them like a bunch of flies." I stated and they were speechless.

I smirked and walked back to my corner of the room.

I saw you smile at me, you seemed much more cheerful now.

I'm glad, but I'm still gonna crush you in the competition.

And I'm still angry as well,

You seem like you didn't care about my feelings when I said I liked you.

Maybe you mistaken me to like you as a friend.

No, I like you more than a friend.

But then I realized I couldn't even have you,

You've already been taken.

By the time I got out of my own thoughts,

The competition has started.

Their were those girls that were swarmed over you went one by one.

A few were reasonably good,

The rest however were reasonably the worst singers ever.

One of them was even tone death.

Then it was my turn...

I sang my song and the crowd cheered,

I saw you too.

You smiled at me and clapped your hands.

It was your turn next, I hid behind the curtains near the stage to watch you.

I was stunned, I never thought you could sing so beautifully.

As I was about to go down from the stage side,

I was stopped by none other then one of the girls who was swarmed over you.

"Look, you better back off. Because he's mine, you'll never get a chance with him." she said as she pushed me.

"I don't even like him." I say, but I was lying to myself.

"I don't care just stay away from him got it?" she says as she knocked her shoulder onto me purposely as she strode over to the backstage.

"Ouch." I say and grab my shoulder with my hand and exited the stage to the audience seats.

Once you were done singing the MC of the competition came out.

"Well ladies and gentleman, there has been an interesting turn of events!" he says.

The audience erupted in whispers and exchanged looks.

"Settle down now, we have two winners for the singing competition." he says and announced the winners.

It was me and you.

There were a few unhappy murmurs from the other contestants.

I skipped off and exited the place and grabbed a cab.

Besides, it was new years eve...
