The spark and the Ice Prince?
"I can't believe it! I'm in a Theater Club or Drama Club or whatever is that!" yelled Zire while eating his food with a movement showing displeasure. Brian and Shakira laughed and began eating their lunch. Here's our seating arrangement.
Shakira/Zire

Brian/Me
We are here on the rooftop as usual. But it's the first time that Zire joined us. Well, talking about joining. Brian did something to Zire, that's why he joined.
Flashback
"Hey, Ire! Let's go to the rooftop!" said Shakira, I nod. As I grab my lunch I saw Zire sleeping again. I walk towards him and tapped his shoulder.
"Hey, it's already lunchtime. Wake up." I said but he is still not waking up.
"He's not going to wake up because of your angelic voice, Ire."I looked at Brian who's standing in front of the door.
"Wha—?"
"Wait!" said Brian. She walks towards me and whispered.
"Placed your mouth next to his ears, then shout. White Lady..!"
"Wha—? Why white lady?"
"Just do it, Ire," said Brian and pushed me to the sleeping Zire. Shakira giggled and agreed, I saw Brian smiled at me and gives me a thumbs up. At first, I hesitated but still, I agreed.
I placed my mouth next to his ear. Looking at him this close is my first time. His face sleeping on the left side facing my desk. Then I shout...
"WHITE LADY!"
"FUCK! WHE—!?" he stopped when he opened his eyes. Our faces are so inches away, his dark brown eyes met mine. He looked at me, like nobody here inside this room. It looks like our eyes are glued to each other.
"What are you doing?" he asked while crossing his eyebrows.
"Brian told me to do this to you, to wake you up, " I replied with a blank face, why do I have this feeling that I already met him before? Silence came between us. Like he's examining my inner self.
"Hey! Are you done looking at each other? Or you want to melt, both?" joked Brian.
Zire put his attention to Brian. I move backward and lifted up my upper body and looked at her too.
"What!?.. Ugh, Never mind!" he said and grabbed his bag. When Zire was trying to leave, Brian stopped him.
"Hey! Hey! Not so fast! Join us on the rooftop, since your Ire's friend let's lunch together, okay?" asked Brian showing a thumbs up.
"What? Why woul—?" Zire stopped and I saw Brian clenched her first, and made a creepy smile.
"Yes or YES?" Brian asked. She looked like Momo by doing that face in front of him.
"Fine!" replied Zire and looked at me. When our eyes met he moved his head avoiding eye contact.
Is he the man before? I don't know why it bothers me so much... but I still have my problem with the 8 million, so maybe next time...
End of Flashback
"Wow, Shakira. You have chosen Music Club?"
"Yes, Brian. Hehe" laughed Shakira.
"Might give us some sample?" asked again Brian while winking at her. Shakira made a small cough.
"What song?"
"Anything!" shouted Brian and I agreed too, Zire who just don't care about it.
"How about the A thousand years," suggested Brian while eating her food. Shakira agreed and starts to sing the song, The theme song in Twilight.
Heartbeats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died every day, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
When Shakira sings this song for the first time, I feel like it made me feel something weird. I don't know what is it. I looked at Zire and he looked back at me.
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything, take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath, every hour has come to this
I feel like the whole world stopped spinning. He looked at me like time stopped so suddenly, I kinda familiarized his face, but I don't know where I saw him, but it made me feel like I already knew him before...
One step closer
I have died every day, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more.
I saw his eyes like it is saying something. I feel like my blood stopped circulating, all of my body stopped functioning my body went numb. But his eyes, it tells me something sad.
And all along I believed, I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
I have died every day, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Zire, who are you?...
And all along I believed, I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
"Wow, I've never thought Shakira could sing like that" we flickered our eyes three times and came back to reality when Brian speak. We both give her a thousand claps. I don't know what happened earlier, it feels like my eyes were glued to his. I looked at Zire and I saw he moved his head directing to Shakira. I have no idea what's happening to me...
I just remained quiet during our lunch, thinking how and why kind of thoughts that just come up to my mind lately while looking at Zire, until we finished eating our lunch. Then Zire said he's heading somewhere else.
"And where? Can we come too?" asked Brian then drink her water.
"No" answered Zire with an angrily looked and left.
"What with his attitude? He got mood swings again!" teased Brian.
"Just let him be, besides we just forced him to join us, " I said. Maybe, that thing just happened lately with Zire is just... nothing.
After that, I decided to head to the library then Shakira wanted to join me even though Brian made a boring look she still followed us. Were now inside the library, I know that Brian never likes this kind of place because she gets bored all the time but I can't help it I really like it here, besides it is her choice to follow us here, it's quiet and relaxing and I can read books whatever I want and it's huge like what I said before. They sat at the vacant chair in front of it is the big rectangular table.
"I know I ask you this a thousand times but, why do you like it here...?" whispered Brian to me when we sat down.
"Why Brian? It's quiet here and lovely and so relaxing.." answered Shakira while smiling at her.
"What...!? We are surrounded by thousands of books here....! It's like a book apocalypse...!!" said Brian and put his chin above the table. Shakira laughed and the librarian scolds them.
"I'm going to search for some books to read, " I said and stood up they nodded and Shakira stood up too and search for some books leaving Brian burying her face above the table, I went to the history section. It's not like I can say that I love this place, it's just the only place where I can rest my face that is quiet.
"You do like to read too?"
I looked to a guy next to me who's also searching for some books. Well, it's very obvious to him that he likes it here.
"...yes, I am interested in mythical gods and goddesses. How about you? Are you done reading your book, X?" I asked him while choosing a book from the shelves.
"You mean the Fault in Our Stars? I already finished reading that book, over five times."
"That's nice..." The only thing I can say and silence came between us.
15 minutes of silence
Finally, I found an interesting book.
"That's a huge book, you've got there."
"Yeah, and a little heavy actually.." I said. This book has all about myths, paintings, sculptures, and stories about them, the only problem is it's really quite heavy for a skinny person like me.
"Hey, you need some help?"
"Sure, Thank you, " I said. He just nodded and helped me to put it on the table where Brian and Shakira are. Shakira who's reading a science book moves her head to looked at me and Brian lifted up her head and looked at us shocked, seeing the book.
"What the!?"
"Shhh!!" said the Librarian to Brian.
"Sorry..." she whispered with a bitter smile.
"What a huge book, Ire. And hey who's this man?" asked Brian, while pointing her index finger to X.
"Right. Brian and Shakira this is—"
"I'm Xean Urie, one of Zire's friends," he said. Urie?
"Ohh, I'm Shakira Hernandez, nice to meet you.." and led her hand to him. X just looked at her hand and I saw Shakira slowly put her hand down with an embarrassment. Brian noticed it and looked at him. She stood up and looked straight into his eyes, like a Bad girl.
"Hmm... I'm Brianna Lackson." Brian said coldly and crossed her arms with an irritated look.
He just smiled timidly, and before he went outside, he looked at me and say...
"My favorite mythical stories. Is about Persephone and Hades, maybe it can entertain you" then he left.
"That one looks weird, but he looks like an Ice Prince for me. Like Zire too, but Zire is a hot-headed, not icy man," said Brian and sat down still crossing her arms. I just agreed and looked at Shakira who's smiling by herself and her cheeks turn red, and slowly sat down on her chair.
"Are you blushing?" I asked Shakira while her face is all red and I sat down too, opening this heavy book.
"What?! No, I'm not!?"
"Defensive much?" asked Brian with a teasing look.
"Shhhhhh!"
"Sorry..." apologize Shakira.
"Zire and that X Samurai you talking about are just the same. Crazy and weird!!...." Brian whispered to us, they laughed and I just smiled. But his last name still running in my head.
Xean Urie? What is his relationship to the Disciplinary Committee named Mr. Landon Urie?
