I stormed out of the cafeteria. I reached the hallway but there is no sign of Troy here. The only place I knew where I could find him is at the basketball court. Troy is the team captain of our school team. Our team won many championships and Troy continued the legacy our school have. His leadership is the main key to our victory.
When I reached the court.
"He's not here. I thought he could be here to have some practice shooting. Where else could I find him?" Whispering to myself with a thumb on my chin.
"WHAAATT AARRE YOOUU DOOINNG HEERE KATIE?!" I jolted as I heard a scream at my back. Who on earth could do this kind of prank?
I turn around. "What the hell was that Ken? For God's sake. I almost got a heart attack." I asked Ken who is with Ben and Mark.
Ken is Troy's best friend. He also play basketball with Troy same with Ben and Mark.
"Then why are you sneaking here, young lady? Looking for someone?" Ben asked. They are still laughing at me.
I cleared my throat before answering. "Have you seen Troy? I thought he's here so I went straight here."
"Why are you looking for him? Don't tell me you are one of those girls fantasizing him?" Ken asked me and the three of them bursting now in laughing.
"No, I'm not one of them. This is all about our project. So if you don't mind tell me where I could find him." I defensively answered them.
"So if that's the case, we can tell you where he is right now. He is at the rooftop of the senior's building." Mark instructed me.
Why is it those girls are not allowed there? Well, Troy can take advantage to them because they're alone. I need to find out what's in there.
"Thanks guys. Bye." I waved while running away from those idiots. But I'm more excited to see Troy.
Taking the stairs to the rooftop seems long. All I want to do is to get there. I'm about to touch the door knob, when I heard a very familiar sound. I quickly opened it and looked around where the sound coming from. I saw a guy on a chair. Facing the stainless fence surrounding the edge of the rooftop. His face it's calm. Then I saw his hands holding a guitar and strumming it. My gaze went back to him when I heard his voice.
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
When my hairs overgone and my memory fades
And the crowd don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way
I know you will still love me the same
Coz honey your soul could never grow old its evergreen
And baby your smiles forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how
People fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe its all part of a plan
Well I just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand
I was surprised. I didn't know this side of Troy. All I knew is he likes color red and black, he likes playing basketball, and he also have good grades. I never knew he is into music, just like me. He nailed this song. I'm just stupid I didn't took a video of him. He can be a famous singer if he wants.
"What do you think are you doing here?" Troy asked me who looks very surprised.
"I-I-I'm sorry for barging in." I stammered nervously. I was too mesmerized on his voice that I didn't noticed he just stopped singing.
"What do you need? How did you know I'm here?
"It's about our project. I'm looking for you even on the basketball court. Ken saw me and he thought I'm one of those girls flirting around you."
"So you are not one of them?" He asked me. I never noticed that our faces are just inch apart. The mint scent of his breath brushing through my face.
"N-n-no. Of course not. I-i-i just wanted to asked you when we are going to start our project." His seductive voice makes my knees shiver.
He laughed whole heartedly. "I'm just teasing you, okay."
"Er I know. By the way that sounds good. I never knew you can sing."
"Well yeah, not as good as you." He rubbed the back of his head and answered shyly.
I'm surprised on what he said. Only my friends knew that I love singing and playing guitar. I do love music. Music is my life and it completes me. When my mom died and dad gives me this cold treatment I myself decided not to sing or play again. Now joining the audition and Troy complimenting me, a hope lit again. A hope that I can start all over gain. Do things that really makes me happy.
"Can you play a song for me?" He requested.
I gestured my arm towards his guitar. "I do love too." I answered excitedly.
