My Silent Words

Chapter 31 - Competition starts now (3)

Isaiah's POV

I raised two thumbs up and a cheeky grin to Alex as a good luck sign as he walks up the stage. Once he sat on the chair, he took one deep breath and paused for a bit, it made me curious as to why he actioned the sudden stop.

But made a move after that. He pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and wrapped it around his head, covering his eyes. It was really all of a sudden. I didn't expect him to do that. Even the audience and judges think that Alexander's action made it shocking from their view.

Damn, I think we have a winner

He pauses for a bit and finally lets his fingers travel down the piano. He manages to find the right keys in a few minutes after how many attempts.

He then smirks

Oh, Alex. I know that devilish look.

In a swift move, his fingers were travelling from the left side of the piano to the right side in just seconds. His actions made everyone including me gasp in shock. He managed to play that insane piece even if he can't see it.

Damn, he's so talented

He continues to trail down the piano a few times hands speeding in every second sweat running down from the side of his head. And finally he manages to end the piece with  bang and immediately earned an amazing standing ovation from the crowd. Not just applause, but also whistles from some people cheering for Alex.

He stands up and glances at the people with a smile. He was heavily breathing and sweating like he just ran 30 laps around the track. After a moment, he bows and earns an even more intense and louder claps and cheers from everyone.

He steps down from the stage and heads towards me, probably just his seat beside me. I don't even know if he's gay or if he even wants me, so why would he walk towards me. It's like he'll kiss me or what.

I was brought out of my thoughts when I noticed that Alex was already standing in front of me.

“Oh, there you are. How long were you standing there?” I ask out of embarrassment.

Damn it Isaiah, put yourself together.

He shrugged his shoulders and smiled. “I did it.” he cheered himself in a whispering tone. I smiled at his comment. “See, I knew you could do it. There's no need to worry about.” he chuckles a bit “And you even did that with a blindfold on. How was that possible? And a piece like that, you barely practiced that song.” I was shushed by Alex when he placed his index finger on my lips. He chuckles again.

“I have tricks of my own.” he whispers. I nod at him.

Damn, this boy is really something

We turned our attention towards the emcee now who was about to announce the winners for tonight's event.

“Wow... Just, wow...” the emcee exclaimed. I look at Alex to see him blushing tomato red.

I guess we can really clearly see the winner for tonight.

“That was unexpected. Anyways, before we go on with the awarding ceremony, the teachers and staff suggest that we take a 10 minute break so anybody who wants to do their usual things, you can do it now.” the emcee ended and places the microphone on the microphone located at the side of the stage.

“I'm gonna go to the bathroom.” I stated earning a nod from Alex. I stood up and walked to the direction where the bathrooms were located. Once I entered an empty cubicle, I immediately peed myself out. When I was about to get out of the cubicle, I can sense a group of people enter the bathroom.
