Chapter 35 Guessing

I waited for Riley. It seems to be taking a long time. I didn't have the patience for it.

Riley asked me out. I mean not on a date or something. Like, something to chat. and here I am on a cafe in Venus beach, sitting, dealing with Math homework rather early. It was a Thursday afternoon, and the assignment won't be pass till next week. But, as Mom says ' dealing with homework early gives more time.'

Mom was right.

I keep chewing on my pencil as the wind of the beach dance around my notes. I felt like in those movies like girl sits somewhere like cafe then a guy takes picture then it's love at first sight. Well, It's different from that. I heard a faint click, I turned to find a Polaroid camera behind me and it's bearer laughing his butt off. I laughed then slapped him anyways.

He held his cheek where I just slapped him. " Ow! What was that for?"

I glared at him. " You're late"

He laughed again. I raised my hand to slap him, but held myself. " Why were you late?"

" I had a conversation. Now, enough about me. I never knew about yourself. So tell me." Riley gave me those shy smiles. I couldn't say no to those.

" Well, I was born here, in Cali. Two years younger than my brother, My father is an Egyptologist while my mother is an Anthropologist. I would really like to be a singer or an actress or an Anthropologist even then. " I laughed. Riley reached for my hand. 5 meters.

" And...Do you know Anubis Ryan?" I asked Riley. His faced darkened but he nodded.

" Well, he is my best friend. Since we were kids. I would remember he would like play with my hair whenever I looked bored. He would play Salon with me. he would like cover the mirror and would like beautify my hair, as he puts it. He even once made my hair wind up like a golden braid!" We laughed. 3 meters from my hand.

I knew what he would say next. I slapped his face. " Don't say it or I would re-arrange your dental work. got it?" I gave him a murderous glare.

" Yes, ma'am." He nodded.

A waiter came and took our orders " I'll have a caramel frappe, you?" I asked Riley. His cheek still red from my slap.

" A special night is today. As everyone might not know, Every Thursday, we held a talent off. We shall shine this light to a specific person, and he or she may do their thing." A person said in the microphone. Everyone around the cafe started to murmur around themselves. 3.2 meters.

A light shone the room. " And the person is..." The light zipped everywhere. I was afraid on where it might land on.

Riley grabbed my attention for a while. " hey, who might be it?"

Not looking at him, I said " I don't know." Then I move my gaze to him. I looked at his hand which was 3.2 meters from mine, which has a small scar. It looked new. I look at him with worry.

" What happen to your arm?" I asked. He looked away.

" Nothing." He answer.

" Riley..." I started to say but the spotlight...landed on me.

" There she is!" The man said. I blushed red. " My dear, what might you do?"

I had no choice. " I would like to sing."

" Very well then!" The man said. " Come up here!"

I walked to the mini stage by a background beach. I looked through the crowd. Riley gave me an encouraging smile. I whispered to the band at my back and looked again in the crowd. Don't be nervous, Sadie. You sang through a classroom. This is a whole crowd. There's no difference.

It was one of my long life dream to be a singer in front of many people. If I could be a singer, then, this would be in my biography saying: I started singing with many people in front of me not only in my Music Class, also in that small cafe at Venus Beach. Thanks to a special spotlight. I giggled at the thought. I nodded at the musicians at my back and introduced myself to the crowd.

" Hi, My name is Sadie Kane. I'm a student at Hollywood Arts and I would like to sing this song from my Favorite band, Against the Current" I said as my tune starts.

" I get lost in you
You're the sky I'm falling through
The clouds, to the ground
Won't you catch me now?
Two roads converge
And neither moves forwards
We're stuck at an impasse
Can this last now?

You stay up I'm crashing down
You stay up I'm crashing down

Now it feels like we're guessing
And I don't know
I could stay, or I could let you go
Don't wanna say that I've been wasting my time
But it feels like we're guessing
And I can't wait all my life

So hard moving on
But this'll be the last one
How many times, can I say
That you broke me in every way
There's nothing left to prove
You rose up and I fell through
Lost in space, I can't face
What's in my way

You stay up I'm crashing down
You stay up I'm crashing down

Every thing that you've ever said
Is burned into the back of my head
I can't forget, I can't forget
Don't give up on me now, I think I've got you all figured out
You stay up, I'm crashing down

I get lost in you
You're the sky I'm falling through
The clouds, to the ground

{Chorus}"

Many people clapped and gave me a standing ovation. Riley wiped a fake tear and clapped. I playfully glared at him.

*~Time Skip~*

After that little singing in the stage, Riley and I decided that my performance was 'spectacular', we laughed and made jokes. I almost forgot about his scar at his hand. Which, by the way, is now on top of mine.

Before I could ask about the scar on his arm, he talked first. " Sadie, there's something I need to talk to you."

" Hm?" I hummed.

" Well, It's like, a week now until the dance."

" Yes?"

" Sadie, go to the dance with me." I stared at him with shock surely drawn over my face. The nice things he did to me, all those jokes, those time he tried to make me smile, he doing those things so that I could say yes if he asks me. He shouldn't have done that. Poor boy got knotted.

" Riley, of course." I said as I smile. He fully took my hand, his other held my chin, we look onto each other's eyes.

He tilted his head. He lean on to me.

And Riley Stevans kissed me. My mind went blank.

Uh-oh...Anubis won't like that.

Tell me what you think! I told you I would update on Saturday. ( I live in the Philippines for crying out loud! Not my fault if I update on a Sunday in your country)
