Life as Jeremias

Chapter 4 - Singing together

Few days passed and the teachers seem to like me... I mean Jeremias.

On one afternoon when me and Jackie were looking through the bills when Beto came in and suddenly shouted.

- Stop!!

Me and Jackie jumped.

- What is it, Beto? - Jackie asked him, confused.

- N-N-No... Nothing... Nothing... - Beto stuttered.

And after Jackie left Beto came up to me, fixed his glasses and said:

- Don't... Get too close... To her.. - he said on a weird tone.

- Huh?

Beto threw his hands in the air then walked out.

- What the hell was that?! - I muttered to myself.

- What was what exactly? - I heard
Angie asking me as she came into the room while I was staring out on the window

- Ah! Uhm... Beto... - I replied.

- He is always weird... But you'll get use to him, don't worry - she smiled and my heart filled up with happiess and as I was thinking I didn't realized that I was staring at her for 5 minutes now.

- Uhm... Jeremias, are you okay? - she asked, a bit confused.

- Y-Yeah... - I mumbled then I took my bag and files and I was ready to go when the papers fell out of my hand. I was still a bit in my own word.

- I'll help you! - said Angie as she bent down beside in front of me to help me and when we stood up I couldn't help staring into her eyes and she did the same - There you go... - she muttered as she handed me the papers.

- Thanks... - I replied, still staring into her eyes and our faces were inches away from each other, but then Pablo entered and cleared his throat, making us jump away and I walked out.

For some reason I felt something weird at the moment when Angie looked into my eyes. I feel like it's not Violetta whom I should take care of, but Angie...

----- TIME SKIP -----

In the evening when I arrived home Esmeralda asked me suspiciously that where I was all day.

- You didn't even pick up your phone all day - she groaned as she sat next to me on the sofa - Where were you?

- I uhm... I was in the gym today!

Worst lie ever.

- Gym? - she gasped.

- Yes! I... I need to get in shape.

- For what, or who?

- Maybe for the ladies to find me attractive!

Holy crap! How could I say something like that to her?

- Oh... Well, good for you, but next time tell me where are you going, okay? I was worried...

- I'm sorry though - I sighed then kissed her head and went upstairs to take a shower, get changed and lay down on the bed.

----- NEXT DAY -----

After finishing the class with Gregorio who once again ended up shouting into my face and telling me how useless I am I was heading back to the teacher's room I heard a soft voice singing in the music room.

- It must be Angie... - I said to myself as I decided to go and see and it was indeed Angie.

I stood at the door, listening to her beautiful voice. She was singing Podemos.

She didn't seem to notice me so I decided to walk to the piano and play. First she stopped singing when she saw me, but then I began to play and sing too:

Pero hay cosas que si sé,
Ven aquí y te mostraré.
En tu ojos puedo ver....
Lo puedes lograr, prueba imaginar

I could see she was surprised by my action, but she decided to join in and sing with me:

Podemos pintar, colores al alma,
Podemos gritar iee eê
Podemos volar, sin tener alas...
Ser la letra en mi canción,
Y tallarme en tu voz.

When we finished we were smiling and staring into each other's eyes for long minutes before Angie turned away in embarrassment so I decided to play along...

- I'm... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to interrupt... - I said shyly.

- No... No, it's okay - she smiled as she turned back to face me - I didn't know you can sing so well... It was amazing... Your playing and your singing...

- It's easy... If I sing about something I can relate to... Or about something I feel... - I replied while again staring into her eyes. I keep doing that, I don't know why I keep doing that though.

After I snapped out of my thoughts I said goodbye to her and left the room, trying not to go back and just kiss her, or do something that I might regret later on...
