"Musical Talent"
It's the second semester and so far, I am surviving my course. I only have four years but I need to take my Masters degree then Doctoral. I am gonna die before I graduate. It's my free period but I need to finish my research. I put down my pen and stare at the window. The birds seem more peaceful...
"Hey puppy!" I turn to Rex who is holding his guitar.
"Don't play in front of me cause I am busy..." I snared
"You bought me this for my birthday and you don't want me to play it? Ouch... I am inviting ya to FLAMBERGE!"
"Whazzat?"
"FLAMBERGE!!! A musical group that just made yesterday! They are hiring new members."
"and your one of them?" He nodded in my words
"I am too busy..." I pointed at my pile of paperwork
"Yawn~! I wanna invite ya cause you are TOO stressed." He placed his hand on my shoulder
"But I need to pass my midterms." I whined
"You are the smartest in your block,. You even exceeded Ivy. I think you'll be fine!"
"Then let me finish this and lets register tomorrow."
"Yaaaaaawn~!"
After that, I continued my work. It as finished but he didn't help me at all. I expect no less but his answer to me is: "Would it be okay if someone like me did a research paper?"
He is right though... As much as I love him, I can't risk my grade. Well, at least I am still okay.
The next day...
I went to the Office of University Organizations with Rex and found out there are only like 4 people in the club including Rex.
"YO!!! I FOUND OUR VOCALS!!!" he shouted
"Hey, you must be Ice!" Said the guy holding a bass. He stared at me and asked "I'm Ryan. Wanna join? You must be forced by Rex here but it's okay if you reject."
"Umm... sure?" I said
"Great! Just fill this up" He gave me a piece of document "But before we accept ya, we need to hear your voice."
Hmm... My voice? I look around and it seems like everyone is eager but... I am not good with... this situation...
"You can do it puppy!" Rex gave me a pat on the back
He is right! I am a singer now! Maybe I need to stop making life hard for me. Here goes nothing!
"Umm... can I play an instrumental?"
"Sure"
I took out my phone and set the volume to max and played one of my favorite songs: counting stars
"Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars
I see this life like a swinging vine,
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashing signs,
Seek it out and ye shall find.
Old but I'm not that old
Young but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
And I I I I feel something so right by doing the wrong thing
And I I I I feel something so wrong by doing the right thing
I could lie, couldn't I, couldn't I?
Every thing that kills me makes me feel alive.
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be-we'll be counting stars
Ye-e-yeah
I feel her love
And I feel it burn down this river every time
Hope is our four-letter word, make that money watch it burn
Old but, I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
And I I I I feel something so wrong by doing the right thing
I could lie, couldn't I, couldn't I?
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be-we'll be counting stars
Oh, take that money watch it burn,
Sing in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money watch it burn,
Sing in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money watch it burn,
Sing in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money watch it burn,
Sing in the river the lessons I learned
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be-we'll be counting stars
Take that money watch it burn,
Sing in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money watch it burn,
Sing in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money watch it burn,
Sing in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money watch it burn,
Sing in the river the lessons I learned"
After that I took a deep breath. I looked at them and saw their jaw drop. Literally...
"Umm... So do I make the cut?"
"Of course. I trained you" I turn to my back and saw Ivy
"Ivy?" I asked
"I am the Rep of this Org."
"Nice. Rep here is being cool" The raccoon teased
"I knew these guys, Tim. Ice, let me introduce you: The Red haired boy there is Ryan, our bass"
"Red haired?" Ryan scratched his head
"That raccoon with the big glasses there is Timothy. Call him Tim."
"Big glasses?" Tim tilted his head
"And that Bushy tailed dog is Edward"
"Bushy tailed?" Ed seemed annoyed
"Umm... I'm Ice. Nice to meet ya."
"So that's it! Welcome to FLAMBERGE!" Rex shouted
"Seemed like your name don't fit with the band Ice." Ed teased
"Hah. Yeah..."
"Let's change it to ICEBURG" Ivy interrupted
"Hmmm... Whatever. I am fine anyway" Tim laughed
"Am I the reason this happened?" I asked
"Yes" Ryan joked and we all laughed
Well, I am the singer now. Umm... what? Well, it would be fine but midterms is coming... I just need to rest then review.
"Stop thinking too much. Even I don't study like that." Ivy said. I forgot she reads minds
This is gonna be fun! When will be our concert?
