Like a bird that flies, along with the wind,
I can't help but watch this mysterious lady.
With the many things you take on, will you ever notice me?
If I had to vie with everyone to be with you, will I even hope to know you?
This
song is a call, hoping to be heard
This secret love is better
expressed in a song
Waiting in heaven, peeking in the
clouds
Behind the stars, just take one look at me, Darna
How
lucky is Ding, he is always beside you
If I were him I will court
you
Will you even notice me, you have many things to do
If I
had to vie with everyone to be with you, will I even hope to know
you?
This
song is a call, hoping to be heard
This secret love is better
expressed in a song
Waiting in heaven, peeking in the
clouds
Behind the stars, just take one look at me, Darna
If
I jumped off a cliff, will you save me?
This is my only way to
hold you
Will you come... you are too busy
If I had to vie with
everyone to be with you, what will I do?
This
song is a call, hoping to be heard
This secret love is better
expressed in a song
Waiting in heaven, peeking in the
clouds
Behind the stars, just take one look at me, Darna
Waiting
in heaven, peeking in the clouds
Behind the stars, just take one
look at me, Darna.
As the song Narda played in the background in his room, Hige sighed. Ever since that one day right before school, all he could ever think about was Blue. But he knew she wouldn't notice him. All she ever noticed was her work and her father's praise. That's all.
Countless posters along the walls of Hige's room depicted wolves in all kinds of seasons: Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring; most of the posters depicted winter though. Along with the collection of wolf posters were stacks of cd albums of various rock bands: Larc-en-ciel, AKFG, MCR, Chevelle, and his newest addition, Kamikazee.
The sun slowly set behind the horizon and Hige again sighed as the song Narda came to an end. "Waiting in heaven, peeking in the clouds…" "HIGE!" "YES MOM?" "It's Kiba, he wants to talk to you."
Kiba opened the door to Hige's room. "Hige… was that Kamikazee just now?" Hige frowned. "Yea, what about them?" Kiba just smirked. "I never thought you were one for Filipino love songs." Hige shrugged off his comment, "So what? It's not like you'd know anything about love in general." Kiba looked out Hige's window. "And I suppose you do?" Silence filled the room for a while until Hige replayed the song Narda.
"Have you ever fallen in love with someone-" "Yes I have…" "Let me finish Kiba…" Hige sighed while looking out at the night sky. "Have you ever fallen in love with someone, and thought that maybe they will never notice you… Or they will never care about you…" Kiba smiled. "Unrequited love, Hige? That's quite the little romance story isn't it?" Kiba sat next to Hige on his bed. "Fess up, who is it that's messing with your brain this time?" Hige pushed Kiba a little with his foot. "Shut up…"
"This secret love is better expressed in a song…"
"Her name is Blue…" "Blue… I know her… She's in my honors classes." Hige frowned. "Damn you you smart ass." Kiba smiled a little. "Don't worry, I won't get her… I've already got someone anyway…" "That Cheza girl? She's a strange one…" "Tell me something I don't know…"
"If I jumped off a cliff, will you save me?"
"Hey, Hige… Our Paradise project for History class is pretty much done. That gives us free time during the weekend. Got any ideas?" "I'll figure it out tomorrow… Besides, tomorrow is Friday… Most of my classes don't give homework. For some fricking reason." "Alright then, I'll see you tomorrow…" Hige waved at Kiba as he headed for the door. "And Hige?" "What…" "Don't let her go to your head…"
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Hige slammed the alarm clock to turn it off. "Damn school days… I always have to wake up early…" Hige rubbed his eyes and looked around his room. Same old, same old. As Hige quickly took a shower and ate some breakfast before going to school, he daydreamed about Blue while the song Narda was in the background. "That song is getting to me… Seriously…"
Hige stepped into his first period Algreba 2 Honors class. It was one of the few honors classes he had. Thankfully he was good at it. Time flew by and he saw himself in the hustle-and-bustle of the school hallways. Trying to get to his English class in time turned out to be a hassle for him as people moved about. He didn't take this class very well either. But he'll have to handle it. "Blue…" Thoughts of her filled his mind all day. He couldn't stop thinking of her.
Third period. German. Not good. Blue was in this class and he knew it. This was where he saw her first anyway. Every time he tried to make conversation, something came up. It was one class in which he cringed at every second that passed by. As the lesson went by he looked at Blue quickly. Right on queue, she started writing down something, avoiding his eyes. He SWORE that she did that on purpose. He sighed almost loudly as he looked down on his paper. "I hate this…"
The day went by and soon, school was over. "So… Hige. Have you thought over what we're going to do this weekend? Should we work on some lyrics for our band or what?" Hige sighed. "I don't feel like doing anything right no – HEY!" Hige yelled out loud as Tsume nearly ran them over with his sleek black Nissan 350Z. "Tsume, WHAT THE F! You always do that every Friday!" Tsume merely looked up at Hige and Kiba and said "Shouldn't you get used to it by now? It's been 3 weeks of school." "I get it, I get it. Sheez…" Both Kiba and Hige went in the car, Kiba up front while Hige was in the back.
"Behind the stars, just take one look at me,"
As Tsume slowly drove away from the school entrance, Hige looked out the window and his eyes met with Blue's. For what felt like eternity, they looked at each other. And within that "eternity" Blue blushed and looked away as soon as she could. The car drove towards Toboe's house.
RING! RING! Toboe opened the door and looked at the faces of Tsume, Hige, and Kiba. "Band practice? Okay then, just get your stuff and go into the basement. Oh, I heard Hige has a girl problem. Is it true?" Hige fiercely looked at Kiba and Kiba merely shrugged. "It looks like he does." Tsume grinned, quite unlike him. "This is bound to be a tearjerker." Tsume and Kiba laughed, while Toboe just looked at Hige curiously as Hige blushed. "SHUT UP ALRIGHT! DAMN!"
"Alright, what song should we play?" Hige blankly listened to Tsume's question. "Narda…" "By Kamikazee? Looks like his heart is melting." Kiba smirked. "Hey, shut up alright?" Tsume and Kiba tuned their instruments while Toboe checked his drums. Hige nervously fiddled with the mic. "So, you guys know the song?" Tsume and Kiba looked at each other. "Pretty much…" "Alright, let's do this…" Kiba started with his guitar and soon Tsume's bass and Toboe's drums came after. "Tila ibon kung lumipad. Sumabay sa hangin. Akoy napatingin.
Sa dalagang nababalot ng hiwaga..." The music filled the whole house and Hige's emotions went in full swing as the song went through its chorus several times.
Blue looked at the house across from hers as she heard the muffled noise of music. The music had a sad ring to it and she grew curious. "Father, I'm going over to a friends house. Is that okay?" "Sure, my dear one. Go ahead." Her father smiled at her in a kind and loving way. "Do stay out of trouble okay?" "Okay."
She went over and knocked. "Oh hello…" "Hi miss. Um… May I ask what's going on?" "Oh don't worry, it's just my son's band. They're practicing, as usual." "Can I watch?" "Sure dear… Are you a friend of any of them?" "I guess…"
"Waiting
in heaven, peeking in the clouds
Behind the stars, just take one
look at me, Darna."
"Nag-aabang sa langit.. Sa mga ulap sumisilip.. Sa likod ng mga tala.. Kahit sulyap lang darna." As Hige finished the song, he looked up to find Blue staring at him. The whole room was silent. The silence was unnerving and it was apparent that Kiba and Tsume didn't like the silence, yet no one tried to break it.
"What… Was that song?" Blue asked quietly as she stared into Hige's eyes.
