Watch Me Shine
Max POV
I turned on my iPod on my way to lunch. School in Virginia, fun, I know. Why are you allowed to listen to iPods in school, you may ask. Well I'm not. This private school isn't so strict unless there's something going on in it. I actually found a song that amused me and actually inspired me a little. I looked at the screen that said the song was 'Watch Me Shine' by Joanna Pacitti.
I'm not your average type of girl
Not since The School.
I'm gonna show the world
The strength in me that sometimes they can't see
My flock sees my full strength. But only not with this.
I'm about to switch my style
But everyone's about to. I'm no longer standing on the sidelines while the RHW has Fang.
And soon things may get wild
The RHW should, and will be, quaking in the faux fur boots she wore.
But I'll prove that I can conquer anything
Why am I doing this?, you may ask. The answer is simple: I love Fang. And he needs to be away from the red hair and bitchiness.
So from my head to toe
I'm taking full control
I'll make it on my own this time
(Better watch me shine)
I'm making my own way to you. And I will succeed.
Better watch out
You will be...
Going for the knockout
KO'd.
And I won't stop till I'm on top now
I will win this battle.
Not gonna give up until I get what's mine
I want him so much I need him.
Better check that I'm about to upset
This'll probably change everything that goes on in these musty halls, including the social structure.
And I'm hot now so you better step back
I'm taking over so watch me shine
And I'm starting by detaching your claws from everything.
Oh oh oh
(watch me)
One by one. With what's mine right by my side.
So get ready here I come
Until the job is done
No time to waste
I quickened my pace to the lunchroom.
There's nothing stopping me
Oh
But you don't hear me though
So now it's time to show
And prove I'm gonna be the best I can be
I opened the white doors of the lunchroom and let them slam. No one noticed. Well one person did.
So from my head to toe
My mind, body and soul
I'm taking full control
This time, this time
(Better watch me shine)
Heads of the students started popping up as I strutted by them. The one that was already up was trying to figure out what was going on.
Better watch out
Going for the knockout
I walked straight over to the table in the middle with Fang and the RHW at it.
And I won't stop till I'm on top now
A very bored-looking Fang, I might add.
Not gonna give up until I get what's mine
Better check that I'm about to upset
Fang was already standing when I got there. And the RHW had stood up too and was practically on top of him. Talk about slutty.
And I'm hot now so you better step back
I pushed her off...
I'm taking over so watch me shine
And kissed Fang.
Oooo oh yeah yeah (Oh yeah yeah)
(Watch me)
It felt great.
Bet you don't think I can take it
But my mind and body are strong
Bet you don't think I can make it
It won't take long
It didn't talk long for his mind to process what just happened and he started kissing me back.
Bet you don't think I can take it
But my mind and body are strong
Bet you don't think I can make it
It won't take long
We broke apart because, hey, we were in the middle of the lunchroom.
Now watch me shine...
I pulled Fang with me out the door of the lunchroom and pulled him into an empty classroom.
Better watch out
Going for the knockout
She's probably still standing, gawking, huffing and puffing about her boyfriend had just been stolen from her from right under her nose.
And I won't stop till I'm on top now
Not gonna give up until I get what's mine
I laughed at myself and Fang looked pretty confused. I mean, I just started randomly making out with him in front of the school and now I was laughing hysterically.
Better check that I'm about to upset
"I'm sorry" I say, "But I've wanted to do that for a long time, Fang."
And I'm hot now so you better step back
I'm taking over so watch me shine
I took a step closer to him.
Now watch me shine...
"The truth is I love you, Fang. Always and forever."
Better watch out
Going for the knockout
And I won't stop till I'm on top now
"I love you too, Max." He says, "Always and forever."
Not gonna give up until I get what's mine
I didn't even think about anything but claiming his lips with mine again.
Better check that I'm about to upset
And I'm hot now so you better step back
I'm taking over so watch me shine
I kissed him.
Watch me...
And it turned into a full-blown makeout session.
Ooh oh oh
Which we got in trouble for, by the way.
Watch me shine...
But it was worth it...
Watch me...
Because the RHW never came anywhere near Fang again and he was mine. And I shined.
ALTERNATE ENDING:
Better check that I'm about to upset
And I'm hot now so you better step back
I'm taking over so watch me shine
I kissed him.
Watch me...
And it turned into a full-blown makeout session.
Ooh oh oh
And then...
Watch me shine...
I woke up.
Watch me...
It had all been just a dream. But it didn't feel that way.
Hehe, that felt really great to write. Anyway review.
