Elena and Zick drived home together after a school affair.

Elena sat on the front seat of Zick’s car, Zick was telling her how awful the night at school was.

“It was so awful? Really? Why?” asked Elena

“It’s because of the dancing, the party. . .everything!” said Zick

Elena looked Zick who was driving, she counted the colours on Zick’s eyes.

“Why are you staring at me like that Elena?” Zick asked

“I dunno, Hey, I really wanna ask you this but . . .I don’t know weather you’ll want to answer this.”

“What is it Elena?”

“Will you ever fall in love Zick?”

Zick thought for a while

“No. I will never fall in love.” Zick said as he ran his fingers through his hair

“Oh really?” devilishly asked Elena with a grin

“I swear! I will never fall in love! That’ll be so gross!”

“Yeah right.” laughed Elena ‘I hope you’re wrong.’ thought Elena. Zick parked his car at the street to his house

Elena got down from the car, so did Zick

“Goodnight Zick.” said Elena

“Hey, aren’t you gonna sing me my favourite song?” asked Zick

“What favourite song?”

“My lullaby.” laughed Zick

‘It never really crossed your mind, did it Zick?’ thought Elena

“I know all your favourite songs Zick, and lullaby, is not one of them.” said Elena

“Aw, try to smile Elena. Don’t be serious!”

“Well, I’m laughing now.” Elena faked a smile

“Goodnight Elena.”

“Goodnight Zick.” said Elena as she walked away but was pulled back because Zick was still holding her hand

“Whoa! Zick, I almost fell on the ground. Do you want me to have an injury?” said Elena

“Sorry, goodnight.” said Zick as he let go of Elena’s hand but was still holding her fingers

“Let go Zick.”

Zick let go of the other finger but still was holding the other one

“The other one too Zick.”

Zick saw that he was still holding one of her fingers “Oh . .” he laughed

as he let go of her finger

“Bye Zick.” said Elena as she went in her house.

Zick went in his house and threw his backpack on the floor

“Something wrong Zick?” asked Tessa

“No, no . . . .I just. . .goodnight grandma!” said Zick as he went to his room.

His grandparents walked in through the wall to his bedroom

“Zick is something up?” asked Tessa

“N-no grandma.” said Zick

“Really? You look . . .worried.” said Theo

“No I don’t.”

“Well, just tell us if you have problems ok?”

“Ok grandpa.” said Zick as he turned off the lights and went to sleep.

“Alright Elena! We have to find some information about our friends! Ok?” said Lay

“Alright Lay, who do you want me to go under surveillance on?’ said Elena

“Uh . . . . .what about . . . .Zick?”

“Zick? That’s easy! What do you wanna know?”

“Uh . . .just get me some information about him ok?”

“Alright.” said Elena as she walked away from the classroom.
Elena was at the door of Zick’s house, she rang the doorbell and Greta answered

“Elena, I haven’t seen you here the whole day.” said Greta

“Yeah, is Zick here?” asked Elena

“At his room. Come in.”

Elena went in and went upstairs to Zick’s room.

Elena knocked at Zick’s door, and heard someone sing

“Zick, are you here?” asked Elena

“W-who is it?” asked Zick as he put down his guitar

“It’s me Elena.” Elena said as she went in the door and saw, for the first time, Zick’s guitar

“What the heck is that?” asked Elena

“A guitar, duh!” said Zick

“I know . . .but can you actually play it?”

“Yeah, just a little, by the way, can you sit here beside me? I want you to tell me weather it’s good or bad.”

Elena, who was confused sat near Zick and asked

“What do you want me to tell you?”

“I want you to tell me weather this song I composed is good.” said Zick as he took his guitar and started playing it, and then he started to sing:

Every time I think I’m closer to the heart.

Of what it means to know just who I am.

I think I’ve finally found, a better place to start.

I need to try, to get to where you are, could it be you’re not that far.

You’re the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I’m singing

I need to find you, I gotta find you. You’re the missing piece I need

The song inside of me, I need to find you. I gotta find you.

Been feeling lost, can’t find the words to say, spending all my time

Stuck in yesterday. Where you are, is where I wanna be, Oh, next

To you, and you next to me. Oh, I need to find you, yeah.

You’re the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I’m singing

I need to find you, I gotta find you. You’re the missing piece I need,

The song inside of me, I need to find you, I gotta find you . . .

Zick stopped singing and put down the guitar beside him

Elena, who couldn’t believe that her friend could sing so well,

was mesmerized.

“So, was I bad?” Zick asked

“No, no . . .actually, you sang good. So good.” said Elena

“Thanks. I . . .wrote it . . ..for . . .” but before Zick could finish

Elena’s cellphone rang, Zick was about to say the word ‘You’

“Hello? Hello?” asked Elena

“Hey Elena. Have you gotten some information yet?” asked Lay

“I’m getting on that thank you.”

“Great! I already have an information about Teddy.” said Lay

“Alright bye lay.” Elena was about to hung up but Lay stopped her

“Wait! I still want to ask you a question. Do you love Zick?”

“I’d lie. . . .” then Elena hung up

“Who was that?” Zick asked

“Just Lay.” said Elena

“What’d she say?”

“Nothing. Well I gotta ask you something too. What’s your fave colour?”

“Me? Why?”

“Just . . .because. . .”

“Alright. It’s Green.”

“Uh . . .you’re born on ?”

“August seventeen.”

“What do you like to do?”

“Argue with you. Joke!”

“Funny. I gotta go Zick. See ya tomorrow at the lab room ok?”

“Ok.” said Zick.

Elena was about to get out of the room to go to the place where she told Zick they would meet but Lay held her back by the arm

“Where do you think you’re going darling?” said Lay

“The lab room, Zick and I are-“ but before Elena could finish Lay interrupted her

“Look, convert the details you have to a song ok?”

“Ok, I’ll just get to that Lay.” said Elena as she walked away.

Zick waited for almost fifty minutes outside the laboratory room

but still, Elena wasn’t there

“Where is that girl? She said she’d meet me here.” said Zick as he crossed his arm and tapped his left foot. the Elena came running to him

“Sorry I’m late! I was just-“ Elena was cut off by Zick

“Well it’s about time! I’ve been waiting here for like fifty minutes!”

“Well you don’t need to shout at me! I was late ‘cause Lay held me back.”

“Why do you always listen to her?! Is she more important than me?!”

“No, no, Zick, that’s not what I meant. We’re just working on a project.”

“Well, if you’re so busy working on your project why come here at all?!”

“Zick, you’re chaining me up! You have to set a bird free for a while Zick.”

“But you’re not a bird, you’re my friend.”

“I know that. But just let me do whatever I want.”

“I can’t let you out of my sight! What if something happens to you? What if you got hurt? What if? What if . . .?”

“Zick, you’re overacting, I won’t get hurt.”

“Well, I just want to know you’re safe.” said Zick as he looked around the hall, as he innocently overlooked the truth

“Hey, you do this arguing thing like forever, don’t you know that I’ve had you memorised for so long?”

“No, I don’t.” Zick stood still in front of Elena and started to walk away

“Bye Elena, see ya tomorrow.” said Zick

‘My God, if I could only say, that I’m holding my every breath for you Zick.’ thought Elena.

Elena went to the dinning room and sat near her brother Charlie.

“So, how’s your day Elena?” asked her dad

“Great I guess.” said Elena

“Did anything out of the ordinary happen these past days?”

“Hell yeah!” said Elena as she covered her mouth with both of her hands because of what she said

“Don’t be a rebel Elena.” warned her mom

“I mean, yes. Zick . . . .actually, he actually sang!”

“Say what?!!” asked Charlie

Harvey sprayed the juice he drank out of his mouth

Violet almost choked

Julie was stunned

“I know, it’s unbelievable, but he actually sang good!” said Elena

“Really?” asked Harvey

“Yeah, and he’s so cute when he sang it.” said Elena with a lovesick face

“Tsk tsk tsk! I think you like him.” said Charlie

“I do not! That’s preposterous!” said Elena

“I think you wish he was yours don’t you Elena?” said Violet

“No I don’t, I was just complementing him.”

“Yeah right!” said Charlie

“Alright. That’s enough from the both of you. I’m going upstairs to sleep.” said Elena as she went to her room.

Elena was woken up by her cellphone that rang so loudly

She answered it and it was Zick
“Zick, what’re you doing?” asked Elena in an irritated voice

“What does it look like? I’m calling you.” said Zick in a strained voice

“Are you alright Zick? Are you crying?”

“No! Of course not! That’s ridiculous!” lied Zick

‘It’s alright Zick, I know you’re crying’ thought Elena

“I just . . .wanna say sorry about the other day. I’m sorry I got over protective in all and being kinda rude.”

‘It’s like you only see black and white Zick, why not look on the bright side?’ thought Elena

“It’s ok. Just make up with me tomorrow ok? I really wanna sleep. Goodnight.” Elena hung up the phone.

Elena woke up in the morning and saw the picture of him and Zick

‘God he’s beautiful.’ thought Elena.

She took a bath and looked at herself in the mirror after she changed to her usual clothes, she put on a little make up on her face ‘I hope there’s a miracle that’s going to happen today.’ thought Elena.

Elena converted the details she has about Zick to a song, she finished composing it, but tried to get the note right, until she perfectly got it.

She took her guitar and started to sing and play her guitar:

I don’t think that passenger seat, has ever looked this good to me.

He tells me about his night, and I, count the colours in his eyes.

He’ll never fall in love he swears, as he run his fingers through

his hair. I’m laughing ‘cause I hope he’s wrong. And I don’t think

it ever crossed his mind, he tells a joke, I fake a smile, that I know

all his favourite songs. And I could tell you, he’s favourite colours

green, he likes to argue, born on the seventeenth. His mother’s

beautiful, he has his father’s eyes, and if you ask me if I love him

I’d lie. He looks around the room, innocently overlooks the truth.

Shouldn’t a light go on, doesn’t he know, that I’ve had him memorised

for so long. He sees everything black and white, never let nobody see

him cry, I don’t let nobody see me wishing he was mine. I could tell you

he’s favourite colour’s green, he likes to argue, born on the seventeenth

his mother’s beautiful, he has his father’s eyes, and if you ask me if I love

him, I’d lie. He stands there then walks away my God if I couls only say,

I’m holding every breath for you, he’d never tell you, but he can play

guitar, I think he can see through, everything but my heart, first thought

when I wake up, is my God he’s beautiful, so I put on my make up, and

pray for a miracle, yes I could tell you, he’s favourite colour’s green

He likes to argue, oh and it kills me. He’s mother’s beautiful, he had his

father’s eyes and if you ask me if I love him, if you ask me if I love him ..

Zick, who was listening outside the room since Elena began singing,

barged in the door and said

“I’d lie?”

“How’d you know?” asked Elena

“I heard you sing. So, I didn’t know you could sing.” said Zick

“Yeah, I could. I wrote it for . . .because of the project.” lied Elena

“The project? I thought you were doing a survey?” said Zick

“We are, we just converted it to a song. And the real reason, why I wrote the song was . . . because of you.” said Elena as she blushed

“I also wrote the song I sang . . . .for you.” said Zick with a tint of red on his cheeks

“I love you Zick.” said Elena

“I love you too Elena.” said Zick as he went closer to Elena and kissed her, all of a sudden there was someone who barged in the door

“Lay?” asked Elena in a nervous voice

“Lay, please don’t rtell this to anyone?” said Zick

“ Don’t worry, I won’t, I promise.” said Lay
