"Let's go!" Aly shouted using the microphone, the crowd went wilder and louder, all I can hear now is the shouts and screams together with our instruments.
"No reason, in this season.
What if we fade? will you escape?" he sang the first verse with ease.
I am playing as the lead guitarist, not gonna lie, I thought I can't do it due to my small knowledge in guitars but it's also because of that, that the band convinced me to do it. I was shaking and hesitant at first, but with their reassuring glances, I realized there's no way I'll make a mess in this performance.
"Baby, I will stay even if it's raining. But I hope your feelings won't be fading." Aly continued.
The crowd is loud, hearing Aly's voice is one thing, but hearing him say 'Baby' is another. If I were a fan, I would go nuts too.
"I only got my eyes on you,
please tell me that you like me too."
The song is an original, it was written by Aly himself, I laughed when I first heard it because he sounds in love. Now, watching him sing it, eyes closed, I can't help but admire his passion for music. It's like he dedicates the song to music itself.
The crowd is no joke, we are at the grounds, on a stage set up here just for this event. It's just the second day of foundation week and the students are surely enjoying the week fun.
"Whooo!" we jumped, and sang together.
"We love you, XYZ!!"
I heard the fans cheering and shouting the members' names. I still smiled despite not hearing a cheer for me.
After the performance, we bowed and group-hugged on stage.
I can't help but feel proud as we exit the stage. I conquered it. They believed in me and we all delivered.
"That was amazing," sabi ko, I'm so happy I got to perform with them.
Nag thumbs up naman sa'kin si Aly habang naghahabol pa ng hininga, sa'ming apat, siya ang pinaka-hinihingal. Siya naman kase ang pinaka-hyper as a main vocalist. Siya ang pinaka-interactive sa audience.
Lahat kami ay pawisan, "Solid! Si Red nagdala," bati ni Dino.
Ngumuso ako. "Bolero."
Unconsciously, they offered their hand to me.
Natigilan kaming apat at biglang nagtawanan dahil sa nakasanayan, "Hala! I forgot the towels!" Sabi ko na nga ba, may nakalimutan ako! I was so nervous about the performance that I even forgot my "responsibilities" as their "manager".
"Ayan na nga, sinasabi ko na, pagod na si Red sa'tin," naiiling na sabi ni Dino.
"Papalitan na natin siya?" si Yohan, agad siyang binatukan ni Dino.
"Here, I only brought one," I said, trying to reconcile. Lagi kase ako may dala for myself, pero nagamit ko na 'yon!
"Thank you," agad na inagaw ni Aly ang towel at pinunasan ang sarili. Napatitig lang ako habang ginagawa niya 'yon, did I mention already that Aly is actually really good looking? Especially when his hair is down and all wet.
I mean, they are all attractive naman.
"Ako naman!" inagaw ni Dino ang towel hanggang sa bumalik iyon sa'kin na basang-basa halos mapiga pa.
"Ew."
"Grabe ka naman, mabango naman kami. Kapag inalok mo 'yan sa labas, tignan mo maraming pipila para bilhin," suhenstiyon ni Yohan. Alam kong nagbibiro lang siya pero kung gagawin ko nga 'yon, it's true na mag aagawan pa ang mga fans.
