Maybe This Time

Chapter 20

-Jamella's Time-

To say that I am happy is an understatement.

I'm ecstatic.

I'm in a state of euphoria and bliss.

Whatever, I'm just so happy for Bams! She can do it! I believe in her! I'm at the audience, wanting to see my best friend in action. When the curtains were raised, I clapped my hands the hardest.

"Go guys!"

The two of them are at the opposite sides of the stage, talking on the phone.

"Clara!"

"What's with the shouting, Tim? You're hurting my ears."

"Nothing. I just miss my best friend forever!"

"Did you eat a lot of ice cream today? Why so hyper?"

"I did. So yeah, I just wanna ask about that English project that we have?"

"You want me to come over to help you, am I right?"

"Thant's right! Thanks a lot, Clara! You're the best!"

"Don't flatter me up, Tim. I'm hanging up now. It's ten in the evening and you know that I'm dead tired from school today."

"Okay, okay. I understand. Good night and sweet dreams! Take care, cause I'll always care."

The lights on Caleb's side dimmed, showing him sleeping. Bams, on the other hand, looked at her phone and started singing.

I hung up the phone tonight

Something happened for the first time deep inside

It was a rush, what a rush

Cause the possibility

That you would ever feel the same way about me

Is just too much, just too much

Why do I keep running from the truth?

All I ever think about is you

You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized

And I just got to know

Do you ever think when we're all alone

All that we could be, where this thing can go?

Am I crazy or falling in love?

Is it really just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?

Are you holding back, like the way I do?

Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away

But I know this crush aint going away yeah yeah yeah

Going away yeah yeah yeah

OH. MY. GOSH.

I'm so proud of you best friend! Her voice is just too awesome!

"Whoah, Ana sings so well!" I heard a batch mate of ours say behind me. I gave her a smile. "Of course! She's amazing!"
