Jade was having a rough day. She couldn't believe what had just happened. There she was covered in mud and arguing with Vega and everyone was laughing at her.
"LIKE I'M REALLY GONNA LISTEN TO YOU VEGA," she snapped, "You have a lot to learn about timing. Do you really think now was the best time to say what you said!"
Tori rushed to apologize realizing that she was out of line. Then Jade started singing softly.
I'm a little boy with glasses
The one they call a geek
A little girl who never smiles
Cause I've got braces on my teeth
And I know how it feels
To cry myself to sleep
Suddenly nobody was laughing. Everyone was looking at Jade.
She was obviously doing a good job making a point. Now every eye was on her but it wasn't because of the mud or because of what VEGA had just said. Beck came up to her and put an arm around her.
I'm that kid on every playground
Who's always chosen last
I'm the one that's slower then
The others in my class
You don't have to be my friend
But is it too much to ask
Her voice got stronger as she continued.
Don't laugh at me
Don't call me name
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In the Father's eyes
We're all the same
Some day we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me
Beck was cheering. He loved so much about Jade and her voice was no exception. She was so perfect in his eyes and he was mad at the people who were being mean to her but he was proud of how she was putting them in their place.
I'm the beggar on the corner
You pass me on the street
I wouldn't be out here begging
If I had enough to eat
Don't think I don't notice
That our eyes never meet
Now everyone was looking at her and paying attention. The fact that she was covered with mud was no longer an issue. Nobody seemed to care how she looked. They were just listening to her.
I was born a little different
I do my dreaming from this chair
I pretend it doesn't hurt me
When people point and stare
There's a simple way to show me
Just how much you care
At that point Beck jumped in the mud that Jade slipped into. Soon everyone else followed his example. Now Jade wasn't the odd one out. She wasn't the one that was covered with mud. She was one of the ones covered.
Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In the Father's eyes
We're all the same
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me
Everyone was singing with her now. It was incredible.
I'm fat
I'm thin
I'm short
I'm tall
I'm deaf
I'm blind
Hey aren't we all
Jade finished up with the last verse.
Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In the Father's eyes
We're all the same
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me
Nobody was laughing. Everyone was applauding.
