CLEO RAMIREZ

A few days had passed at naging kaibigan ko na rin si Rian. Andami nga ng nangyari eh. Unang una I perfected a test in English, pangalawa, naging close na rin kami ni Elle, pangatlo, at ang hindi ko inaasahan sa lahat--i discovered a hidden talent of mine.
Actually, matagal naakong kumakanta para sa sarili ko and no, i don't hum nor sing anything when I'm with someone. And yes, I sing. But I only do it when I'm alone. I'm not very confident about my voice since nobody had nothing to say about it.

Pero, eto yung nangyari. Nag-volunteer akong luminis ng garden sa campus and I was the only one. So, para hindi naman ganun ka boring yung ginagawa ko, nagsimula akong kumanta. Since ako lang naman yung tao dun noong mga oras na yun. Pero laking gulat ko ng biglang sumulpot si Rian galing kung saan.

"Sino yung kinakantahan mo diyan?" ngumisi siya. And I suddenly felt shy. Did he hear my voice? I bet he would have. Kasi kung hindi niya narinig, hindi niya naman sasabihin iyon.

"K-kanta?" Tanong ko naman na para bang hindi ako nahihiya at wala akong kaalam alam.

"What a voice." He smirked. "Never knew that did you?"

"HA?" ano raw?

"Cleo. Maganda ang boses mo, hindi mo ba alam yun?"

"A-ano? Ano ba yung pinagsasabi mo diyan Rian?"
He suddenly went silent. His face was serious at lumakad siya palapit sakin.
Nang makalapit siya, yumuko siya para magkapantay kami.

"Your voice...its good. Beautiful." he whispered by my ear at kumunot naman yung noo ko. I mean, how will I react?

"HA?"

"Meet with me next week in the school stadium."

And with that, he left with a smile.

END OF FLASHBACK

CLEO

I am now in the stadium of the campus at kita ko naman yung naka set-up na instruments sa pagpasok ko.

There were drums, electric guitar and an ordinary one on the side, there was also an electric piano and a microphone. Ano ba to?

"Oh, Cleo you're here." i heard someone say from behind. At alam kong kaninong boses iyon.

"Hi Rian." I spun around and faced him. "Oh? Ano ngayon?"

"We play." he smiled.

HA? Anong "play" ang pinagsasabi ng isang to?

At dun ko lang nalaman na kasama niya pala yung mga kaibigan niya.

"A-anong sabi mo Rian?" I assessed him from top to bottom at naka simpleng black shirt at jeans siya. May nakasabit ring guitara sa balikat niya.

"I'm asking you to sing Cleo." he said softly but with a serious face.

"Ha? Eh ayaw ko." umirap ako sa kanya.

"Let's get on with this." A guy dropped in.

"Oh, Cleo by the way this is, Klinn." pag-introduce ni Rian sa kaibigan niyang si Klinn raw. Matangkad siya, singkit ang mata, sa madaling salita--gwapo siya.

"Klinn Miah Hidalgo. Pleasure to meet you." he flashed me a charming smile. Mukhang player ata ang isang to. pffftt..

"At si--"
