Lucky

First Encounter with Him

Hi! I am Xyrene Garcia! I am a Junior Transferee Student in St. John High School. I am fifteen years old and I love music. I sing but not all the time.

First day of junior high......

I am so happy. I hope I could find new friends who would not betray me and would totally understand the real me.

I got in the school gate and found Kylie, my friend who recommended the school to me. We enrolled in the Spanish class and--

Xyyyyyyreeeeeeene! Kylie said as she was getting near me.

Oh no, she's shouting again. My ears are going to explode whenever I'm around this girl. But don't get me wrong, I love her.

Hey! How are you? I answered calmly.

I'm great. You?

I am good.

Nice! Come here. You need to hear DJ play.

DJ? What's with him? Does he sing?

He plays the guitar but no, he's not good at singing.

Oh okay. Where is he?

She dragged me in the room and there, I saw these girls whose surrounding a guy holding a guitar. The girls were singing while he's playing. As far as I can remember, the song is titled "Lucky" by Colbie Cailat and Jason Mraz. 

When all of them saw us, they stopped singing and the guy who I think is DJ stopped playing.

Kylie, is she the transferee? the guy Kylie said to be DJ asked.

The group's attention was shifted to us and that's what I really hate the most. I just hid at the back of Kylie and never said a word.

Yes, she is.

Oh, what's your name? he asked pointing to me.

The girls are going crazy over that guy? He's not even handsome.

Hi, I'm Xyrene. I finally said.

Oh, hello. he responded

After that awkward introduction, they continued their interrupted jamming.

Lucky I'm in love with my bestfriend

Lucky to have been where I have been

Lucky to--

DJ......

let Xyrene sing, her voice sounds great. Kylie inserted.

Everyone including me stopped and got shocked when Kylie said that. Argggg, I was supposedly planning on not letting anyone know about what I wanted to do ever since.

No, that's not true. I don't have any talent. I denied.

I don't believe that a person with no talent exists. God created us with unique gifts. DJ said.

................... I can't think of a word to say.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

And that's the signal that classes are going to start. Saved by the bell!

Classes went on and on.

blablabla....

introduce, introduce, introduce

And....

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

Yehey! Dismissal time.

I knew this girl named Selly. We talked a lot and we knew that we've got a lot in common. I really think she's gonna be my bestfriend.

I'm tired. I don't wanna commute. I exclaimed.

Hey, Xyyy! DJ can give us a ride and we can just get off at the highway so we won't have a hard time. Kylie informed.

Sure? I am not that close to him. I am shy. I asked.

No, Xy, it's alright. inserted DJ.

Oh my, he heard me? It's embarassing. T.T

Oh that's great Xy, you won't be that tired. At least DJ could help lessen your burden of commuting. Selly said.

Okay. Will it be okay, DJ?

Yeah sure.

And so, that was the first time I got a ride from DJ. I met his father and thanked him for giving me a ride.
