PLAYING PRETEND

Chapter 18

CHAPTER 18:

I haven't even started eating yet but Chan already finished his second plate of spaghetti.

"Chan's a pig" Short haired twin explained when he saw me looking at how Chan ravish his food.

"More than a pig" Adaam seconded

"He actually eats all kinds of food"

"As long as it's edible he doesn't care what he eats"

"Yah! I'm here you know!" Chan reacted.                                                                                                      

I just shook my head not believing how childish they are.

Really, how old are they?

Throughout the whole time I keep in silence as they talk and exchange hi-fives. I glanced at Zach in front of me and like I am, he's also in silence and focused on his iPod.

If it's not because of this pretend relationship and this Korean bastard I'm out of here. A lot of things are important than to hang out with a bunch of jerks.

Break is done and I walked away from their table without saying anything. I entered my class just when the teacher came and begin his lessons.

The next Wednesday, I head straight to the auditorium for a thirty minutes audition for the upcoming musicale. The audition started since Monday so it's obviously the third day of the audition now.

They would somehow push him towards me but he would just ignore them and keep walking. If he can't make the move the more I WILL NOT do it. Rumors even spread we broke up but screw that! I have a lot more in my mind right now than to deal with all these mess.  

"Shall we start?" I asked.

"Sure" Ms. Amelia answered. I turedn to Alfonso standing at the entrance of the room and gave him a sign to start the audition.

The first student sang while playing his guitar, the second danced while singing, the third did a drama and the same performance goes as we moved to the 15th student. 

"Next!" I shouted not liking the performance.

I sighed and look at the papers on my hands. Wasted! Not even half of them is qualified.

  

"Last one for today" I told Alfonso when the 30 minutes break is getting over. He nodded and let the last student in.

Now Playing : Ai ni  ♩ ♪ ♫

I felt shivers all over my body when the piano starts playing. It was familiar, soft and lovely to listen to. The last time I heard the song I was in China, happy and in lo—
