Unnoticed

Entry 011

Nothing unusual happened in the school. Well, actually, there’s one. I saw a poster, an announcement that says:

Love to sing? Well then, brace yourselves because ‘Thunderclap’ will be holding auditions this week. Submit your application letter in our office and we’ll call you for an immediate showcase of your talent. Interested? Well, our band is more than interested in you too! Who knows, you might be the next vocalist of our beloved Thunderclap. Will be glad hearing your voice!

Thunderclap was not just an ordinary band. It was a band that enables its members to explore their talents and improve themselves. Not just that, the band was also known in all the Universities nationwide. They have gigs in different schools, and even outside the country. But the best part of it was that when you’re a member of the Thunderclap, you’ll be in. Everyone will come to respect you, everyone will know you. Everyone will love you. Everyone will be more than willing to hear your voice.

But what the heck? Why am I longing for that? No one will love to hear my voice. Yeah, I love singing but…it’d been years since I last did it. I’m not even sure if I could still sing. And sadly, everyone might just laugh at me when I stand in front of the stage. So, I won’t bother thinking of that Goddamn announcement because it was just so impossible.

“Care to share your thoughts?” Dino blurted out of nowhere. I was lost in my own realm at that time that I never realized that Dino was just sitting right beside me in a bench near our boarding house.

“Nothing,” I replied but he just rolled his eyes like he never believed me in the first place.

“Well, as far as Hush dictionary is concerned, nothing means everything for you.” He took a glance of me and gave me a sheepish grin.

Guess what, he was right. How could he actually know my inner thoughts when it was just days since we first met? Dino is really something, a weirdo in a hot human form. Gosh, I’m exaggerating things again.

I sighed and look at the setting sun. His company made me felt a bit happy but something inside of me tells me that I want to be a part of that band. But how?

“Have you ever heard about Thunderclap?” I queried. He nodded and squinted when the rays of the sun touched his face. And the view was beautiful. He was shining with the rays of the sun, his brown eyes appeared lighter because of the reflection and he got a wide smile on his face.

“Yeah, the band, right?”

I simply nodded and breathed heavily. How I wished, I became a part of them. It’s not just because of fame or acceptance. There’s this longing inside of me, the passion for music that Thunderclap could humbly offer. But it is just too impossible. Even imagining it is just quite unrealistic. And so I have to set my hopes low. Just like the way I always did.

I was in deep thoughts when he spoke again.

“Your voice is beautiful, why don’t you join?”

I turned to face him and his brown eyes devoured on my face as if wanting to see my very soul. It was unnerving but I have to ask him something.

“How can you say that when you don’t even hear me singing?” I asked while my brows are in tight curls.

He then laughed nervously, that made it even seemed weirder.

“Oh, I thought I heard you singing in your sleep,” he mumbled.

I sighed. So, I was a sleep-singer? But how come he heard me singing in my sleep? Was he watching me? I thought my room was soundproof? Or was it not?
