Let's Fly Together

20

The sound of music is overheard in the streets. As the trumpet made its melody, the xylophone giving its unique tune, snares and toms supporting the beats, bass drum to add the punch.

The burning sun is easily seen glowing in the sky. This heavy snare drum is draining my energy. Even though I'm out of breath from marching and patting for about 2 kilometers away that sets from the campus going to the city's covered court, It's still so fascinating making a good music. I'm beating and enjoying every beat of it.

The dancers are on the very front dancing and guiding the players on their back. Next to the players are the admins and assistant of the games, next are the coaches and teachers, then comes the band.

I can feel the stare of someone which bothers me so I unconsciously raised my head. Juno is staring at me while walking forward.

'You're gonna trip' I mouthed gesturing on her step

She looked forward checking her surroundings.

'I'll be fine.' she mouthed back making me smile

'Are you alright?' she added as her look turned to worried

I smiled brightly and rolled my sticks to let her know I'm fine.

She smiles back then nodded taking it as an answer.

About 20 minutes later, we reached the covered court where the program will be held.

We're about to do the exhibition after the introductions. After drinking some water, I felt a bit anxious. The whole place is packed. Everyone is anticipating our performance. To be honest, I'm also thrilled. We practiced so hard so I know we won't mess this up.

We gathered and got ready for the formations. It's time.

I heard the triple released the beat signaling the opening of our song. We march going to the center of the court. Heavy steps can be heard and it is so satisfying coz we are all in sync.

I can't contain my excitement as we perform in front of the audience. We did as what we have been practicing. The transition of the songs are so smooth that I can't hide my smile. The dancers gracefully showed their moves as we support them through every beat.

I didn't realize that it's almost ending for I'm so into it. The exhibition ended with some big claps and cheers from the crowd. Practicing everyday is worth it seeing the satisfied face of the audience.

We cheered as we're now back to our waiting room. We thanked everyone especially our trainor. He was smiling widely as he pat all of our backs.

"That was a great performance. Really, all of our hardwork payed off." he exclaimed happily

We all cheered and took some rest. After a while, some already left and some are still packing there stuffs.

I sat down for a bit and finished the bottle of water. I still have a lot of time since its just 10am. The opening program will most likely end exactly at 12.

Almost everyone are gone now, so I decided to grab my things and maybe shower on our gym. I was hesitant to go back to our campus since I wanted to go home. But after some time contemplating, I had chosen to go straight back to school. After all the games will start at 1:30pm on our campus. I don't wanna be late.

I stretched and made my way out of the corridor leading outside the covered court.

"Hey."

I stopped on my track knowing who it came from.

I turned around and saw what I expected to see.

She's wearing the uniform jersey of the coaches which she matches with a tight jeans. I didn't realize how sexy she looks when we're marching earlier. I never saw her wearing jeans since she's always on her pencil skirt when she's at school.

"Stop staring at my legs." Juno playfully rolled her eyes making me giggle

She doesn't know how much she turns me on with those jeans.

"Have you been waiting for me? " I asked changing the topic, I'm probably as red as a tomato knowing she caught me checking her out

"Umm. Not really. " She replied as she leans on the wall avoiding my eyes

I didn't have the guts to move on my feet as I stand there awkwardly. I'm still not used on being alone with her even after what happened to us on her apartment. She still makes me feel nervous. It's like I'm facing my favorite artist that I only see on tv.

Realizing my awkwardness, Juno walks up and stopped few inches away from me.

"Are you going home? " she whispered

"Uh, no Miss. I'm gonna shower at the gym." I answered as if we're in class

"Miss? " she scoffed teasing me

"Sorry. I was caught of guard by the question." I embarrassedly exclaimed

"Then see me in my classroom later Miss Cassidy." She commanded still teasing me

"Please stop." I facepalmed

I heard her laugh making me smile.

"But I mean it, see me in my room after you shower." she muttered

I was dumbfounded for a while. Does she really wanted me to be with her in her room?Just the two of us? And there's no class, so most of the students are probably on the field.

"I-I accidentally cooked a lot, so join me for lunch." she added emphasizing the word 'accidentally'

"Ow. That's what you meant. " I unconsciously responded

"Ofcourse, why? do you expect something more?" she asked showing me those familiar smirk

"No-no. I was, uh - nothing.. " I stuttered making her laugh again

"You're so cute. Now go now. I need to go back inside since the principal is checking all of us. " she shoo'd me

"Okay, you should go back now. I'll be at school. " I replied smiling brightly at her

She nodded and turned around.

"Be there at 12pm. " she said while walking back to the covered court

My eyes followed her until she disappeared inside the place. I can't contain my excitement and release a deep breath.

Damn it. I need to gather my self up.
