from Season 4: Dancing in the moonlight

The painting was done. I was carrying it in front of the closed classroom door, trying to hide the wet paint from people like everything I’ve ever created.

It was almost as big as me. It was an image of an angel with a broken wing kissing a girl. I made it for “Bubbles.” I was over her, but it just showed the event that led me to where I was, broken and unable to take flight.

You see, before this, I was legendary. I was the best there is, I am not kidding you. Okay, I’m just exaggerating, but I was right there among the best students in the country. I had a bright future and I can do whatever I wanted. But I fell for her, and chose to stay human than be one of the brightest stars… Many great men have been destroyed because of such lies.

But that story was done. All I can do was put it on canvass and get over it.

And then she went to me… “the Moonlight.” I heard her high Chinese voice behind me and turned around. She was wearing shorts and a white top from her PE class. She had long hair tied into a pony tail, looking up to me like a little girl genuinely interested at what I was trying to hide.

At first, I wasn’t sure who she was. You see, she’s one of the J twins… probably the most beautiful twins in the campus. She was as famous as the best of them and it didn’t get into her head. Probably she never even knew.

“Was she talking to me?” i thought.

“Is this your project?” She asked, while trying to peek at the canvass.

Of all the moments that you should remember in your life, this was one that made me forget all the details. How could I? All my senses were focused on her eyes and beautiful smile. I forgot what she said or what we talked about, but I knew I was smiling back.

It all started from here. From strangers, we now knew each other.

She’s the other J twin. The twin I didn’t like. I never even bothered acquainting myself with them because they were so out of my league.

On that day, in front of the only class we had together, I felt like I was ready to fly again.
