"Sometimes I lose my mind
And some days it's hard to find
The reason why you stay by my side you and I
Break our hearts open in half
Just to see if I will put them back
No matter what they try I'll
Stay by your side it's you and I"
"ahh, what are you doing?"David asks
"I am just singing a song. You always do that Don't you? I ask
"I do but I have never seen you do that, "David replies.
'I always do that maybe you have never noticed"I lie.
I try to end this conversation there and turn towards the classroom.
"Nice choice by the way," David says from behind. I know what he meant by that. ( Yesterday Sarah was talking to her only friend Katherine about that song and she said"I only have a few songs in my playlist and it's one of them"
That voice. It used brings a warmth up my chest. I always wished my voice was that melodious.
"What the name of that song again" Katherine asks.
I try to listen more carefully"It's You and I by Culture Code and Alexis Donn" Sarah replies
I quickly note it down and the bell rings. Sarah leaves with her friend and I follow her. I had decided that I would talk to her today. As I left the classroom, I saw Katherine entering the washroom.

Ah, great now I have to wait here for 5 million years. I stand near a pillar in front of the girls' washroom and after waiting for 15 minutes Katherine leaves the washroom.
"Finally, I wonder what takes them so long, "I say. I quickly noticed that Sarah wasn't with Katherine. I catch up to Katherine and ask."Do you know where Sarah is?"
"She left for home 15 minutes ago, "Katherine replies. I try to hide my frown and go to the cafeteria and sit next to David.) "Not singing the song anymore?"I was so lost in thoughts I didn't realize David was right next to me"Why would I she isn't here today, "I say not realizing what I just said.
"Aha, I knew you were listening to that song because of her"David exclaims. Ah great now he knows everything."Why did she leave so early every day?"I ask David.
"How am I supposed to know? She lives far from (CCSF). Maybe she gets late if he spends a lot of time here."David says. I was completely shocked to hear him say that."You know where she lives?"I ask with excitement."Yeah but don't get too excited. She lives in Oakland."He says. Oakland. Why does she come from Oakland to CCSF? I stood up and left for my home wondering why she came from Oakland to CCSF because there are colleges in Oakland too. I wonder why.
