I heard a knock on my room door and I groaned covering my ear with my pillow. My alarm had only gone off a few minutes ago and I had only turned it off to go back to sleep but then this knock. I knew who it was, just like the past few weeks, Robin was knocking so early to make me get up for exercise. The main show was in a week and last week ran as fast as it could. I was so stressed out with practice since the director was no longer taking it easy on us. I was exhausted with it coupled with Robin’s consistently waking me up to go with him for a morning run. I take back my words about Robin being caring if ever I have said that in the past, I had told him I needed to practice hard for the show not for him to torture me to lose weight, I can't tell I it was payback for ignoring him and using practice as an excuse. My room door was pushed open and I bit down on my lips, I thought I had locked it when I went to sleep last night. I must have been so tired from doing that. "Wake up
I knocked on Katherine’s practice room door and turned the doorknob when there was no answer. I can still remember the last time I was here, I had caught her kissing Robin.She has a crush on Robin but it all seems like she has put that aside because of Hinn Carlos.I have no idea who she loves. She has a crush on Robin, but is always with Hinn Carlos and was smiling at Henry when he was introduced by the director. She also has a past with Ryan who she now avoids like flu.I was glad, at least she knew Robin and I were dating since it wasn’t something new.I walked in and met Katherine’s stern gaze. "I said thirty minutes and you are just coming now, do you have a habit of making people wait or you just don't know how to be punctual?"Blah blah blah I said in my head and walked over to her. "I had something to attend to, can we just start?" I told her and she scoffed."We hate each other and I wouldn't let you into my practice room if the director hadn't asked me to do this with you.
I was not so happy thinking about Ivana who might show up here wearing those miniskirts and shirts that reveal everything.I played the guitar with Hinn Carlos but I didn't stop glancing around for any sight of Ivana.Although I didn’t want to think of it, now I was worried, I shouldn’t have walked away like that, I should have still wait to drive her over here, the thoughts of her getting into a bus and having those boys stare at her in a flirtatious manner was now getting me worked up.It was fun here, crowded with a lot of people who were not only here to listen to our music or watch the show but also to ogle at us, they were flashing me and Hinn Carlos smiles but I was only distracted scanning the place for Ivana.After performing, I stepped out from the crowd. There were a lot of people here and it would be hard to find Ivana in the crowd. This was an outdoor show, it was different from the school show where I could spot her.I glanced at the event list, after my performance with
I never thought I would think back to those days again, it was a pain that my dreams remain dreams.It was funny how you only hope for something and hold onto it in your heart but can't catch it.Just like the days ahead, just like waking up, just like the air you breathe and just like the future you expect but gets something else in return.My dream has only been just one, to make it up on stage and get those lights flashing on me while the crowd erupts with cheers, but, those dreams stayed as dreams, just a few days to make it up there, it all got drained like the sand in the sea.Although the pain was lasting, the hurt still felt sore, but I still had something to hold onto, I still got that dream I couldn’t achieve two years back, that hope that I would one day stand on stage still lingered within me and that was what I have decided to leave in my heart."Ivana, you will burn down this house!" I heard my name and turned around just to see Robin turning off the gas. I have been sta
I gently opened my eyes as the bright light coming in from the window blinded me, I squinted and turn away from the window, I looked over to my mother who was holding me next to her, I took in the environment where I was and it drew to me that I was still at the hospital and then…“Dad,” I muttered as I raised my head from my mother’s shoulder immediately. “Where is dad?” I asked her since I couldn't find him on the bed he was lying on before I fell asleep, I had cried so much last night, and right now my eyes sting.“The doctors took him for a second surgery.” My mother squeezed my hand gently and I looked into her eyes searching for the pain I saw last night but it was not there anymore. “He will be fine after this surgery Ivana, he awoke from a coma before now.”My eyes dilated, was it when I was asleep? My father came out of the coma, this was good news then, I couldn’t say a word, I just embraced my mother closely and she gently patted my hair.My eyes flickered to the doorway an
“What are you staring at?” The voice came again and the man who had I was surprised to see here leaned close to me, I shut my eyes immediately and waited for the inevitable.Was he going to kiss me as he did in the car? His lips had already brushed on mine, that wasn’t a real kiss, he was going to go for a real kiss before I clasped my lips with my hand. This time he was going to do it even when I shut my eyes.I heard him laugh and I opened my eyes, he was mocking me right now, how foolish and childish. “What are you thinking this time, do you have one of those nasty imaginations in your head again?” He shook his head as he leaned back to the bench he sat on.“Why are you here?” I asked him, I was not expecting to see Robin here, his mother was here and it wasn’t long before we were just talking about him. Was he here to see me?“Why else?” He turned his eyes at me again and I pressed my lips together, he was here to see me, he has a heart, this cold devil has a heart. A smile was be
I gasped and turned to Kate. “What is he doing here?” I whispered, but before I could hear Kate’s response Hinn stepped in holding a flower in his hands.“Sir, I heard what happened, I am Ivana’s friend and stopped by to see you.” He told my father and I pressed my lips together when he put down the flower on his hand on the table.“Why does he have a flower in his hand?” I asked Kate in a whisper and she shrugged and whispered in my ears.“I told him it was stupid to come to visit a man with a flower and he said it is the French ways, also that he could give it to you instead, but I guess he is embarrassed now and can’t do that.” Kate, who was in tears a few minutes ago, sniggered and I couldn’t help but join her. Hinn was just so adorable, unlike Robin…I paused in my thoughts when I looked over at Robin and noticed he had his hands across his chest and was staring at me coldly, I rolled my eyes when he had said those words about doing what I wanted without wishing at the field I ha
“Will you be my girlfriend?” I heard Hinn ask her and I could feel my muscles stiffen. I was expecting him to give her the flowers and get over it, but he went on with a long series of confessions about how he can’t stay a day without thinking of her, which had already bored me to death.The funny aspect of it all was that Ivana looks like someone who was struck by lightning and I could tell her head was in the clouds right now as she looked at Hinn Carlos with big purples and parted lips. She must be expecting this, she had this thought all in mind after what I told her in the car a few days ago.“Will you be my girlfriend?” Hinn asked again and this time a smile spread through her lips, she didn’t glance at me, she only had her eyes on Hinn Carlos, she must be in one of her imaginations, but the reason I was here was to wake her up.Before she could say the words I already had in mind she would say, I applauded loudly to grab their attention and it did. They all shot me a glare as i

I drove back to the mansion with a gloomy look, I walked inside, it was big and empty, my mother will be home late today, she texted me saying there were businesses she has to attend to.I walked over to the kitchen, taking a bottle of water from the fridge. I drowned it.My thoughts turned back to Ivana walking away and I sighed. "She loves practice more than she loves me." I sighed.I glanced down at my wristwatch, she must still be practising right now, I have no idea when she would be done either and I didn’t check on her before returning home, she didn’t want me to be clingy, perhaps that's a bad sign of dating.I walked back to the living room and turned on the music show. I rarely watch any show, but I have no one to call right now and don't have anything fun to see on my phone and in order not to call Ivana I have to keep it far from me.The show was lovely but I can't stop thinking of Ivana even when I enjoy the music they sang.Honestly, this Anniversary party didn't catch m
Katherine raised her hand and the director turned to her. "Yes, you have something to say, let’s hear it.""Sir, who then is the female lead since we have the male lead already?" She asked and the director smiled as he scanned the room and settled his eyes on me and I blinked rapidly as his lips parted to answer her questions.My heart raced as he looked into my eyes and I pursed my lips, is this what I think it is?"You will find out after the practise since it's already in the newspaper." The director said the words and we all whined, what is the point of keeping us in suspense.Ryan turned to look at me and I saw his gaze from the corner of my eyes. "What?" I asked him, it was offending me that he was always sitting next to me during practice, I wish he could just go somewhere else."I can hear your heart racing." He looked down at my chest and I glared at him. "Don't worry, you are not the female lead." He looked away from me with a smile.He truly has the knack for annoying peopl
The next day there was a crowd gathered around the billboard and I made my way over with Kate who pushed through. The director had told us the names of those who made it to the main show would be on the sign and I had been so nervous all through the night hoping that my name would come up.As we made it over I could see some of the students who had practised with us with tears and disappointment on their faces, my heart raced and I was sure Kate’s heart was racing too.I closed my eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath. I opened them to check if my name was part of the list, the first name I saw was Katherine’s. of course she would make it, she was good at dancing.“Ivana, why don’t I see our name?” Kate said the words and fear struck me as I looked at her with a wide gaze, it seemed like my dreams were shattered right now and I felt tears fill my eyes.“That is because you are looking at the wrong side.” I heard Katherine’s voice next to us and we both turned to her as she pointed b
It was busy at school the next day, they were setting this up at the practice hall, the sub show would commerce in the room and everyone seemed nervous.Just yesterday the director has made it clear his intention for this show and it was the same as what was on the board a few days ago, I was not nervous this show wasn’t for me, the act to be performed was not my part to play so I was going to be on standby.It only has to do with the choreography and picking out who wouldn’t participate in the next show. I was with the instrumentalist but we have only composed the song to be used for the show. We would be doing the live performance on the main show but as for this one, they will use the record.I crossed my arms as I stared at the eager reporters who were on standby and also the directors who were here to grace the show. They were talking to the school president and the director. I looked at the stage, they were done with setting things up and the show would be beginning soon.I coul
“Hi mom, Hi Dad,” I sat down in my room talking to my parents over the phone, it was late at night and tomorrow was going to be the first show before the main show, the day I may get eliminated or the day I will have to stay, I don’t seem so confident and need motivation, this was not only the reason I was calling my parents, I know their voice was going to be my strength.“Hi baby, how are you doing?”“I am good,” I told them, they had the phone on a loudspeaker so they could both hear me so well. “I am sorry I have not called for a while now.“We know you have been so busy with school, from over here we heard of the audition and also the show.” My dad spoke and I was surprised it got to them, but then I recalled there were televisions and radio, we weren’t in the ’90s “I miss you too,” I told them, I was glad to leave that town since it was boring and still the same routine every day, but I miss seeing my parents and holding them close to me. “We miss you more Ivana, I hope all is
