It's easy to feel like
You're all alone
To feel like nobody knows
The great that you are
The good that's inside you
Is trying so hard to break through
Maybe it's your time to lift off and fly
You won't know if you never try
I will be there with you all of the way
You'll be fine
Kelsi stared, mortified, at Sharpay's new version of "Just Wanna be with you". It really wasn't what she planned first. The song was supposed to be romantic and cute and SLOW! Not htat pop version which seems to be more like a "Hey look at me I'm a star!". Ryan was standing next to her and was stunned too. All the coreography he spent weeks to make for Troy and Gabriella was all changed and Sharpay had no excuses for doing it, she knew how hard he worked. When the song stopped, the blond one turned to them, all smiling.
"So, what d'you think?"
"Well... that's so... you..." answered Kelsi. Ryan stared at her, he knew she hated it but yet, couldn't mentionned it to his sister.
[Chorus]
Don't let anyone
Tell you that you're not strong enough
Don't give up
There's nothing wrong with just being yourself
That's more than enough
So come on and raise your voice
speak your mind and make some noise
And sing
Hey, hey
Make some noise
Hey, hey, yeah
You want to be known
You want to be heard
And know you are beautiful
You have so much to give
Some change you wanna live
So shout it out and let it show
You have a diamond inside of your heart
A light that shines bright as the stars
Don't be afraid to be all that you are
You'll be fine
While everyone was packing their things, Ryan went to the piano, where Kelsi was sitting, and leaned on it. She was concentrated in comparing her song and Sharpay's version. The drama king noticed a little tears running down her cheek.
"Why didn't you say anything? I know you hated it, I did." The young girl raised her head and wipped her cheeks. She bit her lower lip, she didn't even know why she let Sharpay get away with it.
"I didn't want to hurt her feelings..." What else could she say? That she wasn't strong enough to stand up against Sharpay, which was true. He glared at her, letting her know he knew exactly why. She sigh... Now, they were alone in the room. Ryan sat down next to her.
"Kelsi... you know she won't kill you if you criticize her once in a while. This song is fantastic the original way, I swear."
"I know... it's just..."
"There's nothing else to say, Kels. You have to stand for yourself, don,t you think it's time someone else than you and me know who you are truly?" Her eyes were filling with tears. She knew all he was saying was true and that one day or another someone would tell her but she wasn't ready, not now, not him.
"Oh no, no, don't cry. Please, don't. I'm sorry " He gently took her head between his hand and wipped away her tears with his thumb. She gently put her hand on his and slid them down so they were on her neck.
"You want me to stand for myself?" He nodded and she leaned forward untill their noses touched, their breath melting together.
[Chorus]
Don't let anyone
Tell you that you're not strong enough
Don't give up
There's nothing wrong with just being yourself
That's more than enough
So come on and raise your voice
speak your mind and make some noise
And sing
Hey, hey
Make some noise
Hey, hey, yeah
[Bridge]
You can't just sit back and watch the world change
What matters is what you've got to say
There's no one else who can stand in your place
So come on it's never too late
Maybe it's your time to lift off and fly
You won't know if you never try
"I'll talk to Sharpay tomorow... but I'll need assistance" she whispered. "I can't become independant in a flash..." Ryan swallowed heavily, this sudden proximity with the young composer made him nervous. He manage to get a simple "of course" out of his throat and she leaned even closer untill their lips touched.
[Chorus]
Don't let anyone
Tell you that you're not strong enough
Don't give up
There's nothing wrong with just being yourself
That's more than enough
So come on and raise your voice
speak your mind and make some noise
And sing
Hey, hey
Make some noise
Hey, hey, yeah
Hey, hey
(Make some noise)
speak your mind and make some noise
And sing hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
Make some noise
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
Make some noise
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
Make some noise
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
Make some noise
The next day, when Sharpay started to yell at Kelsi about how hard she had worked to remake this song, that the show would be better like that and that she knew better then her what the public loves, not once the young composer flinched. Subtly, Ryan, who was standing behind Kelsi, had put his hand on her back, he would help her through anything and she knew it. A part of her always knew it but she was to shy, to afraid. Finally, she didn't really mind if he was the one who made her realizing all this...
I was listenning to that song yesterday and I thought it was totally talking about Kelsi! I don't really love my ending but for the rest, I think it's nice...
