You walked into the room and now my heart has been stolen
You took me back in time to when I was unbroken
Now you’re all I want
And I knew it from the very first moment
‘Cause a light came on when I heard that song and I want you to sing it again

“You are so infuriating! When will you stop doing that thing?” This girl is really annoying; she’s annoying the hell out of me again today.

“What thing baby? I am innocent. I didn’t do anything.” She said that then goes back at doing those weird gestures using her hands again. God when will she ever stop?

She’s Jessica, everyone calls her Jess, a cute annoying brunette who happened to be my classmate in all of my subjects in Uni so she’s stuck with me; talk about bad luck. She likes to annoy people, like anyone. She talks too much. She likes eating but she won’t ever finish a food she bought, like N E V E R, never. There are always leftovers which I happen to take care of because I don’t really like wasting food. She’s loud and gods I hate noises.

But she’s smart. She’s funny. She’s gorgeous. And I love her. Of course she doesn’t know that.

I was about to tell her though, but she told me she likes Jules. She is our other friend. Jules is a year older than us. At first I thought I could still have a chance to make her like me but then Jules told me she likes Jess. That’s when all screwed up for me.

“Hey Shannia! Are you even listening to me?” I doused off again wtf.

“For Pete’s sake I am studying babe!” Okay nice save, now how can I get rid of this girl? Oh great news Shan! You can’t.

“When did you start studying baby? Wait, did you just called me babe?” Oh shoot, why did I called her babe? Shan, why?

“It was just a slip of the tongue. And I am studying because someone told me to.” No one told you to study you idiot.

“Oh okay. Who is this someone Shani?”

“Just someone, okay. Why are you even bothering me here? Go to Jules, she told me she doesn’t have any class right at this moment. Go! shoo shoo”
“But I wanna be with you”

“What did you say?” I heard it. I just don’t want to get my hopes up.

“I said the person who told you to study must be very important because you don’t study Shannia, especially when we literally just finished all our quizzes.” See, she did not repeat it. Or maybe I just heard it wrong.

“I am not satisfied with my scores earlier okay, so someone told me to study that is why I am studying.”

“But you got a perfect score earlier Shan! Argh! Whatever, I’ll go see Jules. You could’ve told me you don’t want me with you.”

“What?” Now I didn’t really hear that last part.

“I said I’ll go see Jules. Bye!”

I swear that every word you sing, you wrote them for me
Like it was a private show, I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I’m on my own
Will you be there to sing it again?
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories?
Can I be him?

“Shani, who’s that someone again?” She asked for like the nth time. She won’t stop bothering me until she gets a name.

Why did you even tell her you have a crush on someone, you idiot.

“It’s uhm, one of our classmates.”

What the heck Shannia Mae Angeles, now you have to think who that effin’ someone is; or just say that it’s her.
