x hot like mexico, rejoice
the sun had risen early, and he had watched it with a look of almost sadness on his face. he hadn’t slept at all during the night, feeling more energetic than usual and fidgeting too, but feeling sad because memories of an old friend seemed to haunt him. lately he had been less overloaded with work and was able to relax more, but he was pining for his friend that he had left back in japan. riley had to curse his label for moving him over to california, and his parents for agreeing, but it was only for him to be able to get used to the music business and then spread his popularity over america even more so. riley only wished that he could have taken keitaro with him instead of suddenly leaving him with a hasty goodbye and an apology.
this was the beginning of his second year in cali, riley’s sophomore year. the work piled onto him was more or less cleared, so he had more time to relax and get even better grades in school, but because of the lack of things to keep him busy, keitaro would appear in his mind. constantly on his mind. sometimes riley would wake up in the middle of the night, almost crying about him but managing to hold back the tears. he always busied himself just to hold back the memories, but once one task was done and there wasn’t another to do, he would remember. thankfully he had been sleeping a lot more lately. during the start of the school year he had barely any sleep, almost averaging at four hours in brief snatches per night. now, the start of october, he was so tired that he would actually sleep on weekends, however falling asleep at five am, usually in the student lounge, and waking up some time later and trudging up to his dormitory and collapsing on his bed, sleeping to four pm. he did like his sleep...
and today he hadn’t been able to fall back to sleep after he had woken up again at five fourty-five am, so he changed his clothes and waited for a while, flicking through songs in his notebook at the same time before going outside to the school grounds at six am, mindlessly watching the sunrise, before riley headed off to the park to get some natural fresh air.
bluewater park was nowhere as pretty as the japanese parks, with their sakura trees and bridges and green green grass, but hey, he would have to settle for this. riley took his ipod and earphones from his messenger bag and put the earpieces in his ears, playing music before he took his notebook and pen from his bag too, flicking it open and continuing to walk while absentmindedly writing on the page in the natural japanese script. every so often riley would let out his thoughts in a ‘monologue’, but never in english, so that no one would be able to read it. there were no other japanese students at bluewater high school, as far as he was aware, so the ‘monologues’ were pretty much safe.
eventually he went over the page and started writing down lyrics in english for a song that he was quite fond of. he knew the lyrics off by heart, and some time ago he had gained permission to do a cover of the song. all he really needed to do know was to write down his lyrics for it, do the non-vocal instrument background piece, and then sing over the top, and add various effects to his voice. he was, however, broken out of his mental planning by a small tap on the shoulder, causing riley to stop and turn his head to the side to look at a slightly taller person standing slightly behind him.
