Chapter 3 Men's Choir Members

Mylene led me to the restroom when she collided with someone. "Oops, I'm sorry!" She said. "Oh, sorry, too. Oh, hello, Mylene!" The girl with almost the same age as we exclaimed. Mylene looked at her. "Maritess! It's you!" Mylene cheerfully said. "How are you? What section are you?" Maritess said. I watch them silently. "I'm still in section three. How about you?" Mylene asked. "I'm section four now," Maritess said. "Still higher section, not bad," Mylene said. "Hmp, my father scolded me why I go down to four." Maritess lips protruding. "Ha! Ha! Ha! What did you say to him?" Mylene asked. "I told him that it's part of growing up. It's high school's life." Marites said. Mylene and I laughed. "Oh, by the way, this is Elaida. My classmate and best friend." Mylene said. "Oh, hello. How are you?" Marites greeted me with warmth. "I'm good. Nice meeting you." I said. "Oh, I'm going inside now. I want to be in front, there's a lot of handsome choir members there. I told you before right?" Maritess told Mylene. "Yes, okay. Hurry then." Mylene said. She still laughing. Maritess left us to go inside the church. Mylene and I went to the restroom. She brushed her hair with her fingers. "Next time we should bring a brush. I forgot to bring it. Remind me next time, please." She said. "Sure," I replied. My hair can manage alone. So I did not bring my brush or comb. My hair is pretty, black, and straight hair without any flaws. Even I did not comb it after showering when it dries it looks like I comb my hair. "You know, Maritess told me that this church aside from many rich members here, many handsome are here as a choir member." She whispered. I raise my right brow. "Oh, really?" I said. "Yes, she told me that. She invited me to go here before but I don't want to go here alone that is why I invited you here and let's check it out, okay?" She said with her very low voice so that other girls will not hear us. "Okay, that is cool! Let's check it out if what she said is true." I said. We go inside the church. The church was beautiful because of its interior designs. After a while, the choir members lined up going upstairs to take their seats. In the middle was an organ. When the choir members take their seats, we simply looked at the boys. Oh, gosh! It's true! The choir members are handsome especially, the organist. The organist started to play the organ. "What do you think of what Maritess said?" Mylene whispered. "Gosh! It's true, especially for the organist. Are they all singles?" I whispered. "I don't know," Mylene replied still in a very low voice. "Let's investigate then," I said. Mylene nods. "Okay, let's talk after the worship," Mylene replied. After the worship, we quietly went to the restroom and since there are lots of girls in the restroom we never talked about the men's choir members. "Did you see Lian? He is really handsome." The girl said. "Yes, of course. He is more getting handsome. He is the most handsome among the men's choir." The other girl said. "Oh, I love her mesmerizing eyes." One of the girls said. Mylene and I look at each other than at the girls. Mylene went to the cubicle after the old woman out from the cubicle then the next cubicle opened and I went inside after the middle-aged woman out from it. Still, we heard the chattering of the girls. After we did our business inside the cubicle we washed our hands and see to it that our hair are in good appearance. While doing this we wait for the girls to get out of the restroom. When they did, the restroom is quiet now. "Wow! They have lots of die-hard fans, did you know that?" Mylene said. "Yeah, and I think all the girls here want to be their wives," I said raising my right brow while putting baby powder which I keep inside my handkerchief. After I've done, I went to the door and lean on its left side, crossing my arms, observing those single women that have a crush on the choir members. "You know, I bet, girls here are going gaga to them," I said. "You bet. They are falling to them head over heels. Ha! Ha! Ha!" Mylene laughed. I joined her laughing aloud not changing my position leaning at the left side of the door. Suddenly I look up and accidentally saw the choir members even the organist with their leader. The men's choir members are looking at me. I look at the right side instantly. Oh, God. Why they are looking at me? I simply go back inside the restroom to tell Mylene what happened. "Hey, Mylene, they are having a meeting I think on the second floor. And that second-floor window is facing in this restroom. When I look up to see the sky, I saw them looking at me." I told her. "The choir members are looking at you?" Mylene said with a smile. I nod. "Where?" She asked. "There," I pointed out. You can stand there and simply lookup. But don't look up in an obvious way." I said. "Sure! Sure!" She said. Then she did what I did and come back to me in a few seconds. "So, how is it?" I asked. "It's true. Let us go outside and talked." She said. "Okay," I said and follow her. We went out of the church. We decided to walk towards the highway so that we can talk. "Did you see that while the pastor is preaching, it seems they are looking to our seats?" Mylene asked me. "Yes, I noticed that. Maybe we attract their attention because we are new in the place." I said. "Yes. Maybe you are right. Who amongst them are the most handsome?" Mylene asked me. "For me, the most handsome is the organist," I said. "Ows? The organist?" She asked. "Yes. For you, who is the most handsome amongst them?" "You see the man in 2nd row? 3rd from the left" She said. I tried to recall all the choir members. " Are you talking about the man with straight hair? And his bangs are level on his eyebrows?" I asked her. "Yes," she said with glee. "Oh, yeah he is cute. But I like more the organist." I said. "That is what you call 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'," Mylene said. She hailed the taxi. The taxi stop and we get in to go home.
