ELSA:

"I want to hear, the King and Queen's presentation." Mrs. Cinderella said and I formed my mouth in a big, 'O'. What did I just heard?

I hummed, causing Mrs. Cinderella to snigger, "I want to see your presentation, dear. I mean, I want to hear your song."

"We first?" I asked, I'm not yet ready. Oh c'mon.

I glanced at Jack who's already there in front of the class. He doesn't seem excited. He has this smirk on his face. He's not scared? While me... I'm really, really nervous.

"Yes. Is there, something wrong with that?"

"It's just that, I think I'm not yet ready.."

"Your partner seems he's already ready, he looked like he's really excited."

"He really does." I said and stood up.

Why is it, he's not feeling scared, nervous or whatever? Am I the only one who's really overacting?

"Come on now, Snowflake." Jack said and winked at me

Wait. What? Did he just called me, Snowflake? That's a really nice term. But, I wonder why he's-wait. Why am I thinking these such things? I mean, yeah. I like him. But I should be mad at him. He's just playing at me! He's just playing at you, Elsa! Damn, why am I such a fool?

"Elsa?" Jack wake me up with my thoughts.

"Oh, yes. Wait." I said and faced my palm, "Okay. I'm ready." I said and Jack sat on the piano's chair.

"Uhm, Mrs. Cinderella, today we'll sing, Sad song by We The Kings." I said, smiling widely.

"I can't wait to hear them, dear." Mrs. Cinderella said and gave us a sweet smile. This is why I love, Brooklyn High Academy. They got good teachers.

"Snowflake, you ready?" Jack asked me, can he just stop calling me snowflake?

"I am." I said, but still, I can't hide this blush. Yes. I blushed. Obviously, because of Jack. Who wouldn't be blushed if someone you like called you, snowflake?

Then Finally, Jack began.

'You and I,

We're like fireworks and symphonies exploding in the sky.

With you, I'm alive

Like all the missing pieces of my heart, they finally collide.'

I looked at Jack. He got this serious face. Well, his eyes are closed. It's like, he's feeling the music. He sang the lyrics so good. He didn't sang like this yesterday. I wonder why.. Does he likes someone else that he used that girl to be his inspiration for this song? Geez. Why am I thinking like this..

In case you don't know, he's singing the song while piano-ing. Or playing the piano. He's really great.

'So stop time right here in the moonlight,

Cause I don't ever wanna' close my eyes.'

When he said that, he opened his eyes.

Looked me in the eyes.

'Without you, I feel broke.

Like I'm half of a whole.

Without you, I've got no hand to hold.

Without you, I feel torn.

Like a sail in a storm.

Without you, I'm just a sad song.
