Scent Of My Memories (Complete)

Chapter 10

Plans

Xenon's POV

Nandito ako ngayon sa Music Room, hinihintay sina Drew, Reese at ang makakasama naming si Iron. Napag-usapan namin na dito kami mag-uusap tungkol sa talent show, isang linggo na lang ang natitira para makapagplano kami ng maayos. Lingid sa kaalaman ni Drew, hindi pa niya alam na siya ang makakasama ko sa strand namin kaya papakantahin ko muna siya bago ko siya ayain na maging isa sa pambato ng aming strand. Nasayang namin ang 3 araw na nagdaan dahil abala kami sa kaniya-kaniya naming mga pangangailangan dito sa eskwelahan.

Biglang bumukas ang pintuan. "Ikaw palang dito Xenon?"

"Nakikita mo namang ako palang ang tao dito Drew.", pambabara ko.

"Loko ka talaga, nagtatanong na nga ng maayos ang tao tapos ganyan ang isasagot mo?"

"Kasalanan ko bang maka-bobo ang tanong mo?"

Tumalim ang kaniyang mata. "Isa pa, Xenon, mabibigwasan kita ng wala sa oras."

Natawa na lang ako sa kaniyang sinabi. "Basta sa susunod, ayusin mo ang pagtanong mo para 'di kita mabara."

"Okay! Okay! Geez, magkakasakit ako sa ulo nang dahil sa iyo. Anyways, bakit mo ako pinapunta dito?"

"Sing."

Takang napatingin naman ito sa akin. "Me? Sing? Are you joking, Evankhelle?"

"I'm not, just sing."

"For your f*cking information, I'm not a good sing-"

"Wag mo akong pangunahan Saints.", putol ko sa kaniya. "I will judge you, if and only if you will sing in front of me."

He just grunts. "May pagpipilian pa ba ako?"

A small smirk appeared in my face. "Well then, let's get started."

Drew cleared his throat then he start singing.

So you can keep me inside the pocket of your r1ipped jeans
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home.

And if you hurt me
That's okay baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go
Wait for me to come home.

Damn his voice, it's priceless! It's very soothing in my ears. He is blessed by a God-given talent.

"Soo.. it's bad. I know. God, I shouldn't sing in fro-"

"Are you kidding me?!", I cut him off. "Damn you from the moon and back, your voice is amazing! Why are you keeping this only to yourself? I mean, you didn't mention in the first day of school that you are good at singing?!"

"Because I know that they will cheer me to sing a song! My self-confidence is very low, Xenon. That is why I don't want to sing in front of many people. Wait, why are you asking me to si-"

The moment he stop, I know that he disgested my plan. "No. No, no, no I don't want to be the representative of our strand, don't please or beg me."
