introduction of participants
567 Words
As he peered through the crowd, his eyes caught on me, and he looked me with his poison green eyes into my blue ones, so that I lost myself in his eyes.
"I've never seen you here before, would you please introduce yourself" "I'm Jesster Allister but I prefer Jess. Is that enough?" "And what about your parents?"
When he asked me the question, I automatically thought back to the evening when the police officers told me about my mother's murder. I started shaking uncontrollably while my classmates just stared at me stupidly from the side. I couldn't take those looks anymore so I grabbed my backpack and ran out of the classroom and off the campus.
I just ran as far as my legs would take me. And at some point I realized that I had lost my bearings and stopped to see only houses and a park around me. I slowly walked towards this park and sat down on a bench, got a pad and pen and just started to write down a song idea that was just floating around in my head.
But not without first putting my earphones in my ear to hear Nico's soothing voice.
Nico's point of view:
As so often, I overslept again and was therefore relatively late today. Typical Spaniards. I ate a Nutella roll on the way before I arrived at school and made a quick detour to the staff room to get the course materials for today.
After that I practically ran to be reasonably on time but when I looked around the classroom I saw a new face, I asked her to introduce herself and immediately realized that she must have a pretty big secret about her parents.
When I asked her about it, she started shaking and ran away. I hurried to run after her and only saw her walking towards the park. I ran after her because I wanted to know why she ran out, but found her in the park on a bench with headphones in her ear and drawing or something, you couldn't tell from the distance.
I slowly walked up to her and took a pair of headphones out of her ear just to hear what she was hearing. Apparently she likes my songs because the end of "7.Days" came and then the song "Safe", I heard the first notes of the piano and automatically thought back to the day when I recorded and released the song .
The shoot was exhausting like any other, but I couldn't sleep that evening because of the excitement.
"Why did you just run out of the classroom like that? And ran away from school?" I asked her after she hadn't said anything for 5 minutes.
"I don't want to say!" "Okay, then something else, what kind of music are you listening to?" "Nico Santos. My favorite singer and idol." "Who is this Nico Santos?" I hypocritically asked to find out why she likes my songs.
She stared into the distance, tears occasionally falling from her eyes and her eyes twinkling quite murderously, and you could briefly see a glimmer of sadness in them before she puts on her emotionless mask again and takes another deep breath before she starts to speak.
"I'd really like to meet him in person and thank him for saving me and you
you kinda look a lot like him."
