ELY, JOE AND NATASHA were already inside the class, like always. They are my music classmate. Ely is a British girl, who is very good at playing guitar, she is even better than I am sometimes. She is drop dead gorgeous with those up-to-date fashion styles. I cannot even count how many men are watching her when she walks by the canteen. The girls’ jaws will drop on the floor when she got out from her car-Porsche. In short, SHE’S ANOTHER HOT CHICK IN SCHOOL. Joe is another cool drummer. What I meant by another is, this school has many students who loves to play drum and I don’t even know why! Natasha is the best pianist in the school, simply the best!
“Harold, how are you and your brother? I bet you guys are getting along,” Natasha greeted me. I forgot to mention earlier that HER LIFE IS FULL OF SARCASM.
“Yes, we are. By the way, I love him more than ever” I said, trying to be as sarcastic as she is.
“How do I look today?” Ely interrupted.
“As gorgeous as always!” Joe answered.
“You got your answer!” I added.
“Class, I want all of you to sit at your own seat! Oh my, oh my, oh my!!” Mr. Abraham rushed into the classroom and got out immediately.
“What’s with that Santa?” Joe stood up and asked the class
“His big red nose Rudolph is running away!” Ely replied him and laughed.
“Mrs. Clause wants to give birth to Santa Jr. That’s why he needs Rudolph,” someone from back added
“What are you guys crapping? Oh my, oh my! You, come in!”
Everybody stunned as Mr. Abraham, appeared out of nowhere and he brought a guest… who could it be? David Cook? Lady Gaga? Or that kid, Archie?
“Hey, everybody, I’m Geneva Emmanuelle Byron. I’m from France. I’m a …”
“Penis?” Jacky stopped her
“It’s pianist you dummy!” Natasha stood up and threw a book to him
“Oh my, Oh my! Let her finish!”
“I play violin, and I’m a…”
“Can you play with me tonight?” Adam interrupted her.
“Eww..”
“Guys, stop it! You want her to get out of this class?” I shouted loudly
Everybody turned their heads facing me. For a second there, it felt like I was in a Britney spears music video. All eyes on me in the center of the ring just like the circus – but this time it is even scarier because Santa was staring at me.
“I’m sorry”
“Nahh, you were just trying to be good, good boy,”
I smiled at Mr. Abraham and looked at her. She was smiling at me, my heart was beating fast, and I could feel the blood rushing in my vein.
“Ginny, you can sit with Stevie...”
“It’s Harold sir.” I corrected him as he always calls his students funny names
“With Harry over there!”
“I’m Geneva not Ginny, and which Hairy. It looks like everyone is…” she’s confused
“That Harry!” Mr. Abraham pointed at me
“IT’S HAROLD SIR, HAIR-ROLD!”
She laughed and so did the others. She was smiling as she was walking towards me. I was so happy at that time, so happy I could die!
“So guys, this year, the Talent Time is in March” Talent time- the biggest event for the year for us, the musicians. I turned to the back and saw Natasha’s evil smile. She was smiling because she was the two-times-in-a-row –winner. I’M GONNA TAKE THE TITLE FROM HER, as what I promised my buddies last year.
“YOU and YOU!”
“WHAT?!” we both answered. Geneva and I looked at each other.
I was lost there ‘cause I was busy looking at Natasha till I missed what Santa’s trying to say about the Talent Time.
“This year, I want to make it special. As I said just now, there will be no more singles, it’s pairs only this year.” He explained back
There isn’t any word that can describe my feeling at that time. I was happier than happy. Playing guitar is fun, but playing guitar with GENEVA is so much better. I’ll make a song and she will sing it, what a good plan.
“Girl, are you okay with that” I was trying to be sure if she was okay with being my partner.
“Yeah. Why not?! We can have fun together,” Ahh, she shot my brain!
“I’ll write a song and you’re going to sing it. Is that okay?”
“I’ve got a better idea. Why don’t we both sing?”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes I am. I heard you singing at math class yesterday, and it wasn’t that bad”
“Thank you”
“So both of you are gonna compete with us?” Ely jumped into us
“Us?” Geneva asked her.
“Nat and I. We are going to kick some ass!” Ely said proudly.
“You have to be kidding me? Are you telling me you guys are going to win? Joe and Adam are going to take over the night!”
“Bullshit!” Mr. Abraham shouted and everybody laughed at both monkeys-Joe and Adam.
…
After the music class, I went to my gang’s favourite spot, which is next to the lab. We spent most of our time in school there, besides in class. Sometimes, I’ll bring my guitar, sometimes, Ryan will bring his PSP and sometimes, Dylan will invite us to play football at the field with his team.
“So, you are going to wear a tutu?” Izzy asked.
“Izzy, what are you crapping?! He’s gonna wear leotard!” Dylan was trying to make me laugh but he failed.
“Cut it off guys! Talent time doesn’t mean I have to wear those things, it’s all about talent.”
“Is flirting a talent?” Ryan trying to show off
“I know you got a lot of ex-girlfriends, but do you have to be that mean to Izzy? He doesn’t even have one,”
“You are right, Dy!”
“Well, I got a crush!”
“Who is it, Izzy?”
"can't read my.. can't read my, no he can't ree-" My phone rang. I picked it up and brother was on the line.
"Wassup?!"
"DUMBO! Come home now! I need you right now!"
"I'm hanging with my.."
"tut... tut... tut..." He hang up the phone.
