Verse 10
Ray didn't see Kai for the rest of the week, he only caught glimpses along the hallways, and he never saw him at break or after the school day.
He was headed to the library when he was walking past the music prefabs and couldn't help but overhear some music being played from one of the smaller ones prefabs.
A guitar was being played, the strumming was soft and had a consistent tune, after a while a humming had started.
Out of curiosity Ray walked to the prefab window and looked inside carefully, hoping that no one was going to bother noticing him.
A hundred days have made me older
since the last time that I saw your pretty face
Ray saw that it was in fact Kai, who sat in a plastic chair strumming the guitar, he was facing the window at an angle and it seemed that his hair was covering his view of the window and of Ray.
A thousand lights have made me colder
and I don't think I can look at this the same
Ray recognized the voice from the various songs and clips he had heard Kai sing over the weeks.
But all the miles had separate
they disappeared now when I'm dreaming of your face
Kai then began to slightly rock on the chair and tap his foot against the floor, his head bent watching his own fingers.
I'm here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me
Ray watched as Kai's strumming had become louder and stronger and his tapping was now more solid and somewhat louder the before.
The miles just keep rolling
as the people either wave to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
but I hope it gets better as we go
I'm here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me
Almost in violent fit, Ray watched as Kai lifted up slightly, and now Ray saw that Kai's eyes were in fact partially closed.
Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done
it get hard but it won't take away my love
Kai was rocking back and forth, lost in his music.
I'm here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me
The song faded away and the prefab went silent, Ray was breathing heavily, his breath fogging the window, he had never experienced something so passionate.
Kai placed the guitar strings facing up on his lap and he removed a photograph from his pocket he stared at it for a moment before playing it back.
Ray caught a glimpse of the photograph; it was of the redhead, Brooklyn…
(Later that day)
"Hey Kai wait up!"
Kai stood by the college fountain and was in fact getting ready to leave for the day when Ray decided to drop by.
The Chinese looked as if he had run there and when he finally stopped at Kai's feet he was huffing and puffing, his cheeks slightly red.
"You wanted something Kon?"
Ray nodded his head.
"I have an idea for the assignment"
"And your idea would be?"
Ray sat on the edge of the fountain wall and sighed, Kai obviously did not feel the heat that burned the city as he was dressed in mostly black, a light breeze came across Ray's face and he thanked the gods.
"I do a painting for a song you can write"
Kai frowned.
"We are meant to be using your art and photography, not my music"
"But it's a great idea right, we can do it right?"
"Kon, I mean Ray, a lot of my music is dark and rather depressing and a doubt you would want to draw anything relating to those topics"
"But what about your earlier stuff? Like the fun-stuff-we-don't-give-a-rats-arse-what-people-think"
"First off, don't say arse ever again. Secondly, do you have a song in mind?"
"Well no, but you could always write a new one and play it and stuff"
"It's not as easy as you seem to think Kon"
"But it's a great idea, please will you at least think about?"
Kai shrugged, "Yeah sure, why not, I'll think about it".
End of Chapter, believe me, the next one is much better ;D
