Something To Sing About by Mrs. Zac Efron (AKA ketherandsandy4ever)
Chapter One: Chemical Reaction
"ZACHARY DAVID ALEXANDER EFRON!" Mrs. Efron yelled, "ARE YOU GETTING DRESSED FOR THAT PARTY?"
"NO!" Seventeen-year-old Zac Efron yelled back the stairs.
"WELL START GETTING READY NOW!" Mrs. Efron yelled back.
Zac groaned.
Meanwhile…
"LAURA AMANDA VERONICA MCCONNELL!" Mrs. McConnell yelled.
"WHAT?" Amanda demanded.
"GET DRESSED!" Mrs. McConnell yelled.
Amanda groaned. This was going to be one loooooooong night. And her boyfriend, Billie Joe Armstrong, wasn't even going to be there. She groaned again & collapsed onto her bed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Zac & Amanda walked in from different doors, both looking as uncomfortable as the other. Amanda had a boyfriend, Billie Joe Armstrong, who she firmly believed she was in love with.
Zac was wearing a pair of jeans, a white long-sleeved button up shirt, & a brown jacket thing.
Amanda was wearing a red mini-skirt & a red tube top with little fluttery sleeves. She had black hair that she'd put a black with red polka dots headband in with red heels.
For some reason they had karaoke. Currently the people singing were so bad that Amanda & Zac clutched their ears.
Since the teen girl saw them making such a big deal out of her voice she said, "Well let's see you do much better!" It was Cynthia, a girl that Amanda went to school with.
Amanda opened her mouth to decline & tell her off but when she did she started doing something bizarre… SINGING!
Amanda: "Life's
a show
And we all play our parts
And when the music starts
We open up our hearts" She jumped onto the table & started
dancing.
Zac had the intention of walking away but instead jumped onto the table with her & started singing.
Zac: "It's all
right
If some things come out wrong
We'll sing a happy song
And you can sing along" What the HELL was he doing! The only
time he ever sang was in the shower.
Amanda: "Where's
there's life
There's hope, everyday's a gift
Wishes can come
true
Whistle while you work
So hard all day
To be like
other girls
To fit in in this glittering world" The audience
was applauding of course since Zac had taken Amanda's hand &
was twirling her.
Zac: "Don't give me songs"
Both: "Don't
give me songs
Give me something to sing about
I need something
to sing about"
Zac: "Life's a
song
You don't get to rehearse
And every single verse
Can
make it that much worse"
Amanda: "Still,
my friends don't know why I ignore
The million things or more
I
should be dancing for"
Amanda was dancing in Zac's arms. Her mom was watching, shocked, from the doorway.
Amanda: "All the joy"
Zac: "All the joy"
Amanda & Zac: "life sends"
Amanda: "Family
and friends
All the twists and bends
Knowing that it ends"
Zac: "Well,
that depends
On if they let you go
Or if they know enough to
know
That when you've bowed
You leave the crowd"
Amanda: "There
was no pain
No fear, no doubt
Till they pulled me out
Of
Heaven
So that's my refrain
I live in Hell
'Cuz I've been
expelled
From Heaven
I think I was
In Heaven"
Amanda: "So, give me something"
Zac & Amanda: "Something"
Amanda: "to sing about"
Zac: "Please"
Both: "Give me something"
Zac jumped off the table & Amanda started spinning around like crazy. She fell off the table & into Zac's arms.
Amanda: "To sing about…"
The two teens just stared at each other while the crowd erupted in cheers.
Zac set Amanda down. "That was weird." Amanda muttered.
"I'm… I'm Zachary Efron." Zac said, "But PLEASE call me Zac! It's like I go everywhere & I hear 'Zaaaaaaaaaaaaaaachary!'." He shuddered, "It's awful."
Amanda giggled. "Whatever you say Zachary. I'm Laura McConnell. But please call me Amanda! I hate when people go 'Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaura!' it's so annoying!"
"Okay. Laura." Zac said.
Amanda laughed. "Oh, there's my mom. I have to go."
"Okay. Hey, I'll call you sometime!" Zac said.
"OK. Here's my phone number." Amanda said, writing it down, "See ya later. Zac."
"Great." Zac turned around to say something to her but she was gone, "Amanda…"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Hey mom!" Amanda said.
"So… who was that young man you were singing with?" Mrs. McConnell asked.
"Oh him? He was no one!" Amanda answered quickly.
"Are you sure?" Mrs. McConnell asked.
"Positive. An absolute no one!" Amanda said.
"Alright." Mrs. McConnell said, "By the way, Billie called you while you were singing."
"Oh, I'll have to call him back!" Amanda exclaimed. But as she dialed her boyfriend's phone number she couldn't get this Zac Efron out of her head.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A couple weeks later Billie drove Amanda to the first day back to high school. "Bye." He said, kissing her on the cheek.
"Bye." She said.
She was wearing a pair of jeans & a transparent white blouse with a pair of black boots.
She was so busy thinking that she walked right into… "Zac!" Amanda gasped.
"Amanda?" he asked.
"I didn't know you went to school here!" Amanda said.
"I didn't either!" Zac said, realizing shortly after that what he'd just said, "I mean… I knew that I was coming to school here, I just didn't know that you were-"
Amanda, who finally had quit laughing, said, "I knew what you meant."
Zac laughed also.
"ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAC!" A pretty blonde jumped into Zac's arms, almost knocking him off his feet.
"Uh… Hi." Zac said, stepping back.
"I LOVE YOU!" she said, as her friends dragged her away.
Amanda didn't know why this bothered her so much.
"Who's she?" Amanda asked bitterly.
"I don't know!" Zac said.
Amanda laughed again. Relieved.
"HEY AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAANDA!" Sandy waved to her best friend, she was holding hands with the school rebel, Kether Harding.
"I have to go Zac. See you around?" Amanda asked.
"Yeah! It was nice seeing you again." Zac said.
Amanda waved & walked off to join her friends.
"Who was he?" Sandy asked, leaning her head on Kether's shoulder.
"Uh… Zac Efron." Amanda told her, "I met him at a karaoke party. We sang a duet."
"Cutie." Sandy smiled, "Are you going out with him?"
"Of course not!" Amanda practically yelled, "I'm dating Billie!"
Sandy smirked. "Sure Amanda."
That annoyed Amanda to no end.
"You like her man?" said a skater dude to Zac.
"Well…" Zac said, trying desperately to find something to say.
"Well if you do she's dating Billie Joe Armstrong!" the skater dude said, skating off.
For some reason Zac's mouth dropped open in shock. She was going out with…
Zac: "Pretty
women out walking with gorillas down my street
From my window I'm
staring while my coffee grows cold
Look over there!
Everyone: (Where?)
Zac: There's
a lady that I used to know
She's married now, or engaged, or
something, so I am told"
He started singing.
Zac: "Is
she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home
tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
'Cause if my eyes
don't deceive me,
There's something going wrong around here"
This was weird.
Zac:
"Tonight's the night when I go to all the parties down my
street.
I wash my hair and I kid myself I look real smooth
Look
over there!
Everyone: (Where?)
Zac: Here
comes Jeanie with her new boyfriend
They say that looks don't
count for much
If so, there goes your proof"
Freaky.
Zac: "Is
she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home
tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
'Cause if my eyes
don't deceive me,
There's something going wrong around here"
Zac: "But
if looks could kill
There's a man there who's more down as
dead.
Cause I've had my fill
Listen you, take your hands off
her head
I get so mean around this scene
Is she really
going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is
she really going out with him?
'Cause if my eyes don't deceive
me
There's something going wrong around here"
Then Zac & everyone quit dancing & walked inside for class.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After class was over Amanda ran into Zac again. "I am SO sor-Oh it's just you." Amanda said.
Zac put a hand on his heart & pretended to look hurt.
Amanda laughed.
"Want me to walk you home?" Zac asked.
"Sure." Amanda said.
Amanda took the arm Zac was offering her & smiled.
Zac smiled as the two walked down the sidewalk.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
When Zac rung Amanda's doorbell she turned to face him. "Thanks for walking me home." Amanda said shyly.
"No problem." Zac said.
Amanda smiled again.
Mrs. McConnell flung open the door. "You must be Zac Efron!" she said.
Zac jumped. "Yeah." He said.
"Can I get you anything, dear?" she asked.
"No. I just walked your daughter home, ma'am." Zac said.
Mrs. McConnell smiled. "Well drop by anytime."
"Thanks." Zac said, "Bye Amanda." He smiled & waved before walking off.
"Are you sure he's not someone?" Mrs. McConnell asked.
"Positive." Amanda said, feeling a blush come to her cheeks.
