Chapter 3- "Memory"

A/N: Here is the next chapter! Enjoy!

-Still Lola's point of view..-

I was walking to my 3rd hour lunch when Meiko appoached me.

"I'm in." She said. I was super confused on what she meant.

"I mean as in the concert. Miriam told me. I'll do as much as I can." She said with a smile. I smiled.

"Thanks. You really don't have to, but if you really want, just meet in the usual classroom by 12.. which will be in about an hour." I said. She nodded.

"I'll be there!" She said with a smile, and left.

-Leon's Point of view-

As I walked to the room, I felt a bit nervous again. What the heck?! I thought to myself knowing that nervousness was no good to perform. And it would be soon. I walked into the room and both Lola and Meiko were already there.

"Your here!" Lola said smiling. "Meiko wants us to sing the song that we did a couple days ago. I think we called it memory." Lola said.

"Uh.. sure." I said, thinking about it.

Once I realizd what song that was, it made me more nervous. I can't give you a reason why. The clock kept ticking and it got closer to our time.

We, along with Miriam who came a bit later, practiced probably 10 times when we finally decided that it was fine.

"Ugh.. I'm actually nervous!" Miriam said walking back and forth.

"It'll be fine." Meiko said.

"They already have all the instruments at the auditorium. Should we go?" Lola said. Although she spoke calmly, something told me that she was also nervous, she just tried to hide it.

-Lola's point of view-

Nervous.. nervous.. To be honest, I got this nervousness crawling into my spine. As soon as we went to the auditorium, I felt a chill through my spine of the thought of performing. It all seemed much more simple when we first came up with the idea. It seemed.. so easy. But now I came to the pure realisation that this took more effort than we thought.

I gave out a silent sigh as I tried to make myself less nervous.

"Hello! Ready to perform?" The lady from administration said as she set up the microphones on the stage.

"I hope so." I said with a smile. There went another chill.

"Don't be nervous, It'll be fine, just watch." She said with a wink. I smiled.

I turned to look at Leon who stood by Meiko and Miriam, who were talking about the audience that would be watching us. They seemed the most exited after all. Or at least less nervous.

"Before you guys perform, we're going to have a tiny speech, since this assembly was meant to persuade students to take good decisions in life and go to college and universities. When I introduce you, go to your places and when I say 'enjoy the show', the curtains will go up." The lady said.

"Ok! I'll tell the rest." I said, walking towards the rest of the group.

"We have to wait until after the speech, and she'll give signal to when to start. But I'll tell you when o get to your spots." I said to them.

"Gah, I can't believe this is actually happening!" Miriam said, Showing some nervousness.

Before we knew it, they we're announcing students to go down to the auditorium, by hallways. We stood behind the curtains, only hearing the voices, as the room became each time more filled. We stood quietly as we waited for this moment we had waited for.

"Welcome, to everyone. I want to thank you all for being here today. As you probably have heard, we wanted to..." The lady spoke, beginning he speech.

I looked towards Leon, who was looking toward the floor, nervously. He could obviously not hide it even though he tried.

After a long time of waiting, I finally heard the signal. "Get to your spots." I whispered to the group. They instantly went to their spots; Meiko on one corner, and Miriam on the other. Leon an I were standing in the middle, holding microphones that were yet not on. "When the curtains rise." I whispered to let them know when to start. They nodded with a nervous smile. I still couldn't believe this was real. This wasn't a dream.

The seconds that passed before the curtains arose in front of us were infinite, as my whole life played like a movie in my head.

When I was little I would always say that one day I would sing for a real crowd. I always liked to sing, and I only got the chance to sing to my tiny crowd, being my family. It was only my mom and dad who would listen to me. As I began growing, my parents began to go on bussiness trips and I was left alone, being left to sing to myself. 'One day..' I said to myself, 'Just one day I will sing to a real crowd' , as I sung to myself one of those days. And here it was. Not one of those dreams at night, nor one of those stories I made up. It was the real version. It was happening.

-Leon's point of view-

As the curtain finally began to rise up, time became much longer than I ever had seen. Second became hours, which became years of my life. Memories rose through my hands as I held the microphone on my hand. The nervousness that I had suddenly vanished away, into memories of these recent days.

Not only did I make friends, but I was doing what I loved, singing. Here I was, ready to sing in public as my friends stood beside me, ready to follow along to our beat. This was it. The thought of it filled my heart with a warmness that made me smile. Before the curtain arose enough to uncover our faces, I turned to look at Lola who seemed to be sucked in thoughts.

She looked to see me and we both smiled, as if saying "Let's do this." I looked back to the curtain which finally uncovered our faces, and it was finally time to perform.

"I'm not sure what we're doing, I don't know how we got in.. this situation. But I think I like it the rendegrous of our lips. We make a perfect fit."

"Oh, is this love?...I can't tell what we're done"

"Oh, is this right?.. I don't know what to do"

"Whisper to me.. (Don't talk to me)...It will set me free.. (Just let me be)"

"There's no way that I.. (Didn't) Expect this tonight"

"Nothing is wrong (Something is wrong)"

"My thoughts they are gone (something is wrong it is all gone)"

"It wont be for long (Can't stop)"

"But I'll remeber this always (forever)"

-Lola's point of view-

We finished singing, Leon and I looking toward each other. I had not noticed until that very moment how his blonde hair went with his light green eyes. That though kind of shook my heart a little.

"Uh.. I'll be back." I said right after the curtains reached the floor. I sped through the room, leaving the microphone on one of the little desks that were hidden to the audience. For some reason I felt like I had to let out that little feeling of nervousness that came to me when I looked at him. I had not thought about it much.

-Leon's point of view-

As soon as we were finished, Lola suddenly looked a bit nervous. That made me wonder if anything was wrong. I mean, it was over after all. As soon as she left, I turned to look at Meko and Miriam who were both smiling. Not just a normal smile. They were smiling like they were trying to tell me something. Not like I would know why they had such a huge smile.

"I think we did good." Miriam said as we heard the crowds voices, leaving back to their classes. "I think so too. But the audience might have a total different perspective on us." I said, realizing that it wouldn't really be a success unless people actually liked it. We might like it, but it doesn't mean they will.

"I bet at least one person will join. Out of everyone, there's bound to be one who will want to. Don't you think?" Meiko said, with a happy expression. Well, she had a point. Hopefully.

"Back!" Lola said, coming through the door, where we all were.

"I'm going to have to talk to you." Miriam told Lola with a wink. I looked at her then at Lola wondering what I wasn't being told. Well, that's what sucks on being the only guy in this group. Or at least for now.

A/N: I have to thank all of you who are following, favorited &/or reviewed. Thank you so much! I hope not to let you down!

I kind of had to improvise on what Leon looked liked. Lots agree that he should be blonde for some reason, so I added that. The rest was just... hopefully it's okay. I'm thinking Lola should be brunette, but maybe you guys can help me decide?

Thank you all once more, and I hope to be updating soon!
