Drama Queen - That Girl
Mr. Schue's weekly assignment was to find a song that either described our childhood or imagine that we were ten years older and were reflecting on our years spent in high school. Of course I was imagining myself taking Broadway by storm already with a Tony and maybe a Golden Globe. I already had the perfect song, all I need to do was print off the sheet music for the band and make a simple slide show to add to the effects of the song.
When I got home I went through all of my old competition boxes to find pictures of me and searched my entire photo library on my laptop until I had the perfect photos, I of course had volunteered to go first to show my fellow glee clubbers how it's done.
"Are you ready to go today Rachel?" Mr. Schue asked once everyone had arrived, I nodded and began setting up the data show
"This isn't going to be another 'Run Joey Run' fiasco is it?" Finn asked once I had finished setting up
"No I can assure you this is nothing like that" I reassured the entire glee club. The first picture was a gold star with my name on it just like the one on my bedroom door.
There was a girl I knew who always wanted to be the one to stand out from the crowd – the next picture was me in my paid skirt and animal sweater next to the three cheerio's who I had recently became friends with [Chorus] Armed with an attitude that she knows how to use. [Chorus] Life is a work of art you gotta paint it colourful, Doubters, non-believers... once were dreamers.
Always believe that she was gonna live her dreams..
That what when down was gonna come around for all the
Doubters non-believers the cynical that once were dreamers... – This line always reminded me a little of Mr. Schue, the reason he even taught glee club was because he could make his own dream real
One of these days you'll open up your eyes and you'll realize ..
That girl was a onetime teenage drama queen
A hot, tough everyday wannabe
That girl was a wild child dreamer but she found herself.
Cuz she believes in nothin else and you'll look back and you won't believe that girl was me. – When an author one day writes my autobiography they won't believe that someone as talented as me was once slushied
She's gonna get there any way she can. This time instead of a picture there were just words that read "sending people to crack houses (but in my defence it wasn't active)"
Now she knows what she wants no one is gonna stop her nothings ever gonna hold her down. – My suspension which resulted in not being able to compete with my team at sectionals
For all the doubters non-believers the cynical that once were dreamers...
One of these days you'll know that you were Wrong...(who would know)
That girl was a one time teenage drama queen
A hot, tough everyday wannabe...but she'll have changed her destiny.. now she's a somebody.
That girl was a wild child dreamer but she found herself.
Cuz she believes in nothin else and you'll look back and you won't believe that girl was me.
Can make it anything u want don't have to stick to any rules
You don't need a high IQ to succeed in what you do, - I actually had a high IQ
You just gotta have no doubt just believe in yourself.
One of these days you'll open up your eyes... and you'll realize
[Chorus] 2x
That girl was a onetime teenage drama queen
A hot, tough everyday wannabe...but she'll have changed her destiny... now
That girl was a wild child dreamer but she found herself. – I was playing a cave women in my schools play in year 4
Cuz she believes in nothin else and you'll look back and you won't believe that girl was me.
"One day when I'm on Broadway this is the song I'll reflect with" I told them once I had finished
"Very nice Rachel and very fitting" Mr Schue commented
"I'm glad it wasn't a repeat of 'Run Joey Run'" Mercedes added
"Thanks Mr. Schue and Mercedes I can assure you no one wants that again not even me" I packed up the data show and sat down to listen to the rest of the clubs song choices.
AN: Hoped you like it
