Mirrorball

(Spring school dance Augustine point of view)
(The time james broke betty's heart)

I'm standing on my tallest tip toes, spinning on my highest heels
-Augustine

Aku mengikuti spring dance pertama kali di sekolah yang aku baru saja tempati, aku tidak mengenali siapa pun disini, kecuali satu orang, james. Aku baru saja pindah, di dance floor ,pengaturan lampunya gelap dan biru, gaun yang kupakai menjadi pusat perhatian, a glitter dress that reflects on the dance floor.

Mungkin itu alasannya dia mengajakku bicara. Disana sebenarnya banyak laki-laki yang lain, tapi mereka setengah mabuk dan dengan confidence mereka yang sepertinya tak terhingga, mereka mencoba untuk menari denganku, mereka juga mencoba untuk menciumku, atau meletakkan tangan mereka di badanku, trying to get me on the list on the girls they hooked up with, and that was not i what i had wanted, not even for james.

Aku tidak akan pernah menyangka dia akan memilihku.

Dia disana, duduk sendirian dengan gelas champagne di tangan nya, dia tidak seperti lelaki yang lain, he was calm, dia berdiri, menaruh  gelas Champagne nya di meja bar, raw and lonely, dan dia menatap kearahku.

Dia berjalan kearahku, "you look like a mirrorball" katanya, memberi komplimen kepadaku, sambil gaunku yang dia bilang seperti 'mirrorball' "lo cantik banget, did anyone said that?" Tanyanya sambil tersenyum memperlihatkan giginya yang putih dan rapi.

Aku hanya menggeleng, menunduk kebawah,pipiku memerah, i hope james didn't see that, there is no boys who said that at the party,  i was really happy on the inside, smiling, dancing (on the inside , if there was no one here, aku udah teriak kayak kuyang kesurupan)

"Dance with me ?" Tanyanya tersenyum, mengulurkan tangannya, aku memberikan tanganku, tanpa sadar aku sudah menari bersamanya, standing on my tallest tip toes, spinning on my highest heels, singing, laughing, dancing, smiling, shining, just like a mirrorball.

I was once heartbroken by a certian boy, but now?, he helped me remove that, remove the bad memories,that was one of the best summer of my whole life, his bright blue eyes loooked at me with cincerity .

And i felt like i was standing in a tightrope, walking towards him beautifully, i tried everything tho keep him laughing with me, i tried everything to keep him looking at me,

Aku tidak ingin menjadi 'the pick me girl'

Aku tidak ingin menjadi 'the homewrecker'

Aku tidak ingin menjadi 'the s!ut'

Aku tidak ingin menjadi ' the bitch'

I'm still on that trapeze, trying to get you laughing, together, the two of us, at the dance floor, dancing, singing at the top of our lungs.

I'm still a believer, but I don't know why, I've never been a natural, all i do is try,try and try.

I just wanna be your mirrorball, shining as bright as i can, to light up your world.

Little did i know.....

Im still trying everything to keep you looking at me
