Chapter-82
Festival Day 3
Jay-jay's POV
Excited much! Ahihihihi... They're going to play Keifer, and they're only going to play the song I requested, Secret by One Republic. So I'll wait here. My phone is ready. I'll take a video of them. "I'll take it!" Ci-N offered. I gave him my phone. "It's been a while since it started..." David said and looked at the time. It's true! The battle of the band was said to start at 5pm but it was already 5:27pm. Suddenly, a man came out on stage holding a mic. He looked like he was the host for this contest. "IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE! WHAT EVERYONE'S BEEN WAITING FOR!" the man shouted, almost crying. What was that? Earache! "...THE ULTIMATE BATTLE OF THE BAND!! BUT BEFORE THAT, I WAS RnC!" The host introduced himself. But I didn't care about him because I wanted the battle itself. The headman had just ï¬nished speaking. "LET'S START THE FIGHT!!!" he shouted again, and we all joined in. I think I liked the host from yesterday more, including the woman holding the ï¬shbowl. Their basis was ï¬rst come ï¬rst serve. We arrived second, so Keifer and he would perform second. That's ï¬ne, so we wouldn't be late for our duty. After all, we'll ï¬nd out who the winner is on Friday. It's getting really nerve-wracking! "THE FIRST TO SPREAD THE LIGHT IS SECTION C! RAKKI 'N ROLLER!" the Host shouted again. Doesn't this guy get tired of shouting? I'm the one who's hurt by what he's doing. Section C came out and it turned out that Rakki was their vocalist. That's probably why the group's name is Rakki 'N Roller. They'll sing a Tagalog and English song. It's up to the band to decide which one goes ï¬rst. "What will Keifer and them sing?" Someone asked. I flinched, because his voice was weak and he sounded like he was complaining. It turned out to be Josh, our classmate who had a third eye. "English is a secret of one republic. I'm not sure about Tagalog." I replied. He was scary. He only spoke once and then he was like that. I just looked back at the front and waited for Section C to ï¬nish . What they played and sang was good. But it didn't seem right for Rakki. They ï¬nished singing and the host came out again. "BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL VOCALIST!" The Host said and we were surprised when Ci-N suddenly ran and was about to go up on stage but David and Calix immediately grabbed her. Come on! "THE VOCALIST IS MINE!" Ci-N shouted. Even though he was surprised, the Host just let him go. Ci-N was also an addict because he was suddenly losing his mind. "LET'S LET THE NEXT ONE WHO WILL SHOW OFF.... SECTION E! THE ONLY ONE!" As usual, the host shouted out loud. Keifer and----Wow! The mokongs were in business attire. Complete, even with their hair and shoes. Kei----Nila is handsome! All of them. Yes, they're all handsome. Yuri's ex is also very arrogant. They're also business-minded! They took their seats and started playing. They're going to play like OPM for now. https://youtu.be/RdXUIaJFSzI "If your problem is your face. Don't worry because it's here. The answer to all your problems with women. The cure for all the failures of men..." "...Papa, Papa Cologne is here. Papa, Papa Cologne is here." That's why they look like that! These cobras are also ï¬ne. That's the only thing that's ugly about their band name. The Only One? "You'll smell rich, even if you sweat. It won't be difficult, right on the corner. Wherever there's a store that sells this product. It's sure to be popular (and you won't have a hangover), guaranteed..." "...Use Papa, Papa Cologne. Use Papa, Papa, Papa Cologne." They're like Salesmen. But if that's where these fail, there will be many buyers. Sold out yet! "If your problem is your face. Don't worry because it's here. The answer to all your problems with women. The cure for all men's failures..." "...Use Papa, Papa Cologne. Use Papa , Papa Cologne. Use Papa, Papa, Papa Cologne. Use Papa..... Papa Cologne." They received loud applause. Isn't it? Their song is powerful enough to win. "GO! Section E!" We shouted. Keifer took off his coat for a moment. He also rolled up his sleeves and removed his necktie. He also unbuttoned the three buttons of his polo shirt. The girls in front were so excited. Flirtatious! Felix also changed instruments, suddenly holding the violin. Yehey! They will play my request. https://youtu.be/qHm9MG9xw1o "I need another story Something to get off my chest My life gets kinda boring Need something that i can confess 'Til all my sleeves are stained red From all the truth that I've said Come by it honestly I swear Thought you saw me wink, no I've been on the brink, so..." The power of being handsome when you know how to sing oh. The way you feel that you can also feel the song. I suddenly felt jealous, I also want a beautiful oice. "...Tell me what you want to hear Something that will light those ears Sick of all the insincere So I'm gonna give all my secret away." I just stared at Keifer. I guess it's lucky that he's going to be her girlfriend. If I were with Ella I wouldn't have let her go. Handsome, muscular, smart, maybe rich and talented in singing----Where are you? "...This time don't need another perfect lie Don't care if critics ever jump in line I'm gonna give all my secret away" It was nice to hear his voice. He was really good. I closed my eyes and listened carefully to the song. It felt like I was right in front of him and I was the one singing. "My god, amazing how I got this far It's like were chasing all those stars Who's driving shiny big black cars And everyday I see the news All the problem that we could solve And when a situation rises Just write into an album Send it straight to gold But I don't really like my flow, no, so..." My eyes widened, I was surprised that he was also looking at me. Suddenly he smiled. And my lips seemed to have a mind of their own, smiling at him too. "...Tell me what you want to hear Something that will light those ears Sick of all the insincere So I'm gonna give all my secret away." Keifer was enjoying what he was doing more and more. We were also singing and shouting. "...This time don't need another perfect lie Don't care if critics ever jump in line I'm gonna give all my secret away." I suddenly realized something. I bit my lower lip hard. Something was happening to me and I wasn't sure if I wanted it. "Ooh, got no reason, got no shame Got no family I can blame Just don't let me disappear I'ma tell you everything..." I stopped suddenly. Is this normal? Is this normal or Keifer? It's not like this in the past. I can't take my eyes off him. "...So tell me what you want to hear Something that will light those ears Sick of all the insincere So I'm gonna give all my secret away... ...This time don't need another perfect lie Don't care if critics ever jump in line I'm gonna give all my secret away... ...So tell me what you want to hear Something that will light those ears Sick of all the insincere So I'm gonna give all my secret away... ...This time don't need another perfect lie Don't care if critics ever jump in line I'm gonna give all my secret away all my secret away, all my secret away." Their performance ended and the lukos immediately went backstage. I followed them. They didn't let them in either so they just waited for Keifer to come closer to us. They weren't disappointed because they immediately came closer to us when they saw us. "Great! You're welcome!" They greeted Keifer. I was just observing them. I didn't want to come closer. "Jay..." Yuri called me and came closer. "...did you like it?" "Yes.." and it seemed like it wasn't just the performance that I liked. I turned my gaze back to the heads. Keifer and I met each other's gazes so I immediately looked away. My heart was racing! "You said you requested the song?" Yuri asked me. I smiled and nodded. "I heard it on the radio a while ago." We talked for a while until I didn't realize that Keifer had come closer to us. "We already played your request. Didn't you even say thank you?" He asked me. Oh my! I looked behind him. I couldn't look him in the eye. It was so bad! My heart felt like he was chasing a deadline with his beating. "T-thank you..." I said and I was still looking behind him. He also looked behind him. "Who are you thanking?" I didn't answer. I was just surprised when he suddenly brought his face close to mine. I couldn't move, it felt like someone was choking me and making it hard for me to breathe. "Here I am!" He said. "O-yes... I-I said so." I answered him. But he still didn't move his face away from mine. My face was so hot, I felt like I was going to die if I stayed like this for too long. Why is this? It shouldn't be like this. Is... Do I like him anymore?
