Chapter 1
The 'extra' class had finished.
Walking away from the school, his messy, honey-colored hair which tied in a short pony-tail danced the air while a breeze of evening wind blew towards him. He felt the warm cozy air touched his cheekbones, letting himself loosened a bit when another breeze of gentle wind blew again. Pushing his glasses, he stopped walking and pulled out a small notebook from his pocket. Words which scribbled on the yellowish papers fade away as the pages were flipping to the other side and landed down on it with a touch of his finger. He was looking, searching for any tuition or gatherings today. Flipping, and stopped, looking at the words scribbled on the last page. He found his answer.
No gatherings or tuitions. That's the answer he wanted for a long time.
A big smile appeared on his face, not showing his white teeth-that's called grinning. He stuck his notebook back into its original place, and he began to walk, a smile still hanging on his face. He arrived to a small park without looking at the time. Shady trees stand in the center of the street, separated the wide street into two. He took the left one, walking as the wind blew and leaves from the trees danced in the air gracefully. The setting sun gives out soft sunlight; rays of orange had colored the whole place as the time of his watch began to move so slowly. He enjoyed it, of course! He never had time to walk around like this. It is just because of scoring full A's, he always study like a bookworm locking up in his room, taking tuitions and gatherings of discussing homeworks, he never rest when he must rest. But today is a different day to him, a day that he can relax, the day he can loosen up himself from doing exercise books. He is finally free from studying.
He lifted his head up, showing the orange sky his delightful face. Puffy clouds were yellow in colour, mixing with some orange colored and felt very comfortable, soft like cotton. If he did notice, a soft voice roamed the park, singing beautifully, and you can feel melodies dancing in front of you.
Taking some time, the song drifted to his ear as he tilted his head back to its original position. He stopped walking; silently listening to the voice that sings so well. Following the melody of the tune, he finally realized that the voice was singing a song called 'Magnet'. He remembered that Friday evenings there would be less people hanging around the park. He looked at his watch; it was almost 5:45 in the evening and no one will be hanging around in this park that late. His curiousness leaded him to find who is singing around the park. He looked around, listening to the sweet voice echoing, he accidentally sang out some words as he knew this song's lyrics so well-because he love this song and it makes him listened to the MP3 everyday. Somehow, he didn't bring his MP3 out today but he was now quiet lucky anyways.
The voice is from the other side, like he was now walking on the left side of the street, the voice appeared and fade away at the other one. The voice was going high and low, singing its greatest melody gracefully. He looked through the trees that separated the way, gazing over to the other side. Well, there's nothing, only dry leaves were falling to the ground, and there's no one here. But he still can listen to the wonderful song playing continuously at the right side, which confused him more. He put his gaze further again, and a small playground not far away had caught his attention. He could see a swing at there. He cocked his head to the side, naturally he walked passed the trees in front of him, and stopped at the left side of the street. Narrowing his eyes, he looked at the swing again. And this time, he saw a girl with low pigtails was sitting on the swing, her mouth open wide and mouth the words of the song. Now he can make it very clear: That girl over there is singing. She didn't notice that he was looking at her, just because her eyes were closed.
Well, naturally-or unnaturally, there's a small blush appear on his face but don't know why. The wind was blowing gently, pushing him towards to the girl, signaling him to go near her. Listening to her soft and graceful voice, he walked closer to her, making a short distance between them. He can't stand it; he 'accidently' sing with her, and he started to catch up with her. Her voice was quiet high and sweet, and his voice was rather low and soft. Singing together, they are making a very great duet.
He went more closer to her, as well she still didn't notice, he saw her pretty face with a slight of pink on her cheeks. He started to blush, and his voice went a bit tingling. The girl felt a bit odd, but taking a little of time, she finally realized that someone was singing with her. She stopped singing, opening her eyes and stared directly into a pair of blue sparkling ones. She was surprised; of course, she didn't know that there is a boy standing in front of her, singing with her. The girl snapped out of looking and she stood up harshly in front of him. They fell in silence at once, wasting their time on looking each other.
"Umm… You.. got a very nice voice." The girl said nervously, tilting her head to the left, her aqua eyes were looking at the side, not meeting his gaze as her hands were at her back, clenching at the end of her skirt. Rays of orange light shone upon her blushing face, showing her bright aqua eyes that matched the colour of her hair. The boy blushed too; he looked at the girl with his eyes staring straight. He can't even speak out something like a 'Thank you' but a haven't-made-up-mind phrase, "N-No! You have a sweet voice, sweeter than honey." He widened his eyes, covering his mouth with his right hand, realizing he said something really fluffy just now. He was now blushing furiously like an idiot.
The girl turned her head and looked at the flushing boy in front of her; eventually she can't control herself but to giggle with a small blush appear on her both cheeks. "Thank you." She said, stopping her giggle and took out a hand, shoving it in front of him. The boy loosened his right hand from his mouth; he looked at her hand, then to the girl. He knew what it means, and he raised his hand and shook hands with the girl. The girl smiled at him, "I'm glad to meet you, but I need to go now." She took away her hand and she held her school bag. Looking at the sky, she breathed deeply and let out a happy sigh. She looked at the boy again, giving him a small smile and walked away, her aqua pigtails danced gracefully in the air. The boy stunned, staring at the girl who walked away from him.
Suddenly, the girl turned her head to the shoulder, looking back and waved a goodbye at him. "Thanks for the duet."
The boy blushed at this moment, a surprising emotion rose in his heart. But he can't stop blushing, watching the girl went away as the sky darkened with deep orange color mixed with the red and black ones. Putting his hands in his pockets, he walked away with a small blush hanging on his face, feeling himself an unknown feeling roaming him all over.
