The Coolest Girl
A/N: This is a songfic using "The Coolest Girl" by Bonnie Gruesen from A Very Potter Sequel. This is set back in the good ol' days before Morgana went crazy and all that. First Merlin fic! Read and Review! Thanks!
Warning: There is some mild cursing at the end of the song. If that's going to bother you, you have been warned. Don't flame, please.
Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin or "The Coolest Girl".
Gwen's POV
I trudged through the market carrying a quite heavy bucket of water for Morgana's bath. I shifted its weight and all the water sloshed forward, sending me stumbling face first. I fell in a puddle of mud, made worse by the bucketful of spilled water. Some of the merchants and townspeople saw and started snickering, a couple of them blatantly guffawing. I picked myself up and sang softly.
All my dreams
I'm chasing after,
they don't need
all this laughter...
I brushed myself off and held my head high as I went to refill the bucket.
I take a grain of salt,
stiff upper lip.
It's not their fault
I'm not as hip.
I sighed. I never fit in anywhere. I'm too far below Arthur and Morgana's class to be friends with them. And I much preferred to spend time with my father than hang out with girls of my own class.
Wake up kid, you know you're more than this...
I'm the smartest person
that I've ever met.
So why do I allow myself to
possibly forget:
There's so much I know how to do,
I glared back at the laughing townspeople.
so much more than all of you.
The only thing I wish I knew
was how to make them see
the girl that I can be...
After my chores for the day had been done, I went back home and belted out my feelings.
I am
the coolest girl in the whole wide world
I know it
but can't show it at all.
I am
sick and tired
of low, not higher
places, where I should belong.
It's about time I proved them wrong...
My leg bounced to the beat as I started to dance around my room. Thank goodness my father was out for the night. I would be so embarrassed!
Give me a shot
to show what I've got!
I'm a helluva whole lot more
I looked at myself in the mirror. I ran my fingers through my hair and tugged at my clothes.
Than this frizzy hair,
these frumpy clothes I wear,
though I rock 'em like nobody you've seen before
'Cause I am
the coolest girl in the whole wide world
I know it
below it all.
If only they could see that I'm so much more than some servant girl. I'm so much more than the status I've been given.
I am
done with losin',
on with choosin'
the coolest girl on the face of the planet,
the coolest bitch on earth, goddammit!
The coolest chick you've ever seen or heard!
I managed a sultry hip shake, something I would never do in public. It's so unlike me, but that was the point.
So you can try to break me down,
but sorry guys, I'm stickin' around!
I've thought about it, and I've found
that I am
the coolest girl!
... Yeah!
I looked in the mirror one last time, feeling much better about my place in life. I nodded at my reflection and, with a grin, got ready for bed.
A/N: So what did you think? Like it? Love it? Tell me in a review! It makes my day!
